Melitta MEBG8B Coffee Mill
Equipped with hard burrs that grind beans more uniformly and without the flavor-destroying heat generated by blade grinders, this coffee mill makes preparing fresh coffee simple. It has preprogrammed buttons for grinding enough to brew 4, 8, 10, or 12 cups and a dial for selecting one of 18 grind consistencies, from very coarse to very fine for espresso. The bean chamber holds 8 ounces, enough for about 36 five-ounce cups. When the selected amount of beans is ground, the mill shuts off automatically. A transparent plastic container snaps into the mill’s front to catch up to 8 ounces of ground coffee. It has a snap-on lid so it can store either ground coffee or beans. For easy cleaning, the grinding wheel twists out. The 120-watt mill measures 5 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 6-1/2 inches deep. It’s clad in hard, bright plastic, has push-in cord storage, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack

Melitta MEBG8B Coffee Mill Reviews
Poorly designed, messy to use
Ok, bought this model because it was the cheapest burr grinder I could find. Read the reviews and thought some people are just too picky. Well, I got what I paid for. Nice looking grinder and grinds quickly and consistently, but boy is it messy to use! First, bean container lid does not stay on and you have to hold it down during operation. Don’t even think I have a defective unit as I just don’t see how it is designed to stay put. Second, serious static electricity. I know all units have some static buildup during operation, but the grounds get EVERYWHERE with this one. Trust me, you’ll have coffee grinds all over the place when you use it. You’ll just be grinding a ton of coffee each time to last you till the next time you have to use it. Third, the container that collects the ground coffee is also poorly designed. The lid can easily pop off as you’re pulling it out of the unit (and again, there goes all the statically charged coffee grinds all over the place) and it is oddly shaped and has difficulty fitting into my large coffee canister for emptying. A better design would have been to have the lid attached and sliding off partially for emptying. Anyway, I’m putting up with it for now but expect to be buying another one in about a year. Yes it was cheap but I’d recommend paying the extra money to upgrade to a better grinder.
Grinds fairly well
This is a good product for the money. A little messy occasionally, but for the most part, it functions as you’d expect with minimal effort. My grandson has much fun turning the coffee from beans to “squash”, as he says. I’d recommend this grinder for the daily coffee drinker!
bad design, bad performance
This is a poorly designed mill, cheaply manufactured. The grinding mechanism is easily clogged but difficult to disassemble for cleaning. The port into the hopper is too small and must be frequently unblocked. The hopper consistently develops excess static, causing large amounts of coffee to stick; it is badly positioned and fits loosely, guaranteeing a mess to clean up every time the mill is used. After four months of annoying service, the cheap circuit board attached to the power switch broke loose, finally ending the suffering. A nut chopper would work better.
What a dissappointing experience!!!
I purchased the Melitta Mill in April, it’s now July and the thing is shot. We used it daily to grind 2 tablespoons of coffee, first the switches stuck and then we had to plug and unplug it to run the thing. Sure it was inexpensive, but you should get more than three months out of the purchase. $6+ a month just to grind coffee? Don’t buy this poorly constructed product.
melitta products are inferior
I received this grinder because I had purchased a defective Melitta Grind & Brew coffee maker through Amazon. The coffee maker had electrical problems and I sent it back to the manufacturer as the manual instructed. To make a very long story short—Melitta was not able to replace the coffee maker. They stopped making them. Amazon had my money and I waited over 4 frustrating months for a coffee maker. Amazon would not help me and after many, many phone calls Melitta sent me another coffee maker and the coffee mill to compensate for the Brew and Grind. Grinder malfunctioned periodically and finally died with in 9 months. WARNING–DON’T BUY MELITTA PRODUCTS AND RETURNS FOR DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE SHOULD BE RETURNED TO AMAZON.
