Variable grind selector for the perfect grind, from course to fine espresso
Wheel removes for easy cleaning
Auto safety shut-off
One-touch independent button
Stores 8 oz. of coffee beans and ground coffee
Amazon.com Review: 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

Rating: - Thank R. Johnson -- Wherever You Are Re: Melitta Mill Adjustmt
I was given this Melitta Mill by a friend who only used a few times, as the grind was too coarse. I tried it, and it did, indeed, seem coarser than I desired. Since there was no manual with the coffee mill, I searched the Web, and ended up with R. Johnson's 2005 feedback. I followed his suggested adjustments, and--voila--the grind is now fine and the machine works just great, definitely better than my blade grinder and a lot less than other burr and cone grinders. At the listed price, this is a pretty good deal, even if not as good as mine. Again, thank you R. Johnson of Illinois, wherever ... Read More
Rating: - My first grinder
I've had this burr grinder for over two years now. I was very happy with it for a while, but it soon didn't grind evenly no matter what setting you used. And I soon found out I had to use twice as much coffee bean to make the perfect pot. I had difficulty removing the burr so my husband took the thing apart for me, and we found about a pound of coarsley unevenly ground coffee stuck in the back of the machine! What a waste! We have had unscrew and empty that wasted coffee twice so far. I am looking for a new grinder.
Rating: - Don't waste your money
I bought a Melitta burr coffee mill at a kitchen outlet for apparently the regular retail price of about $25. It lasted about a month. The grinding was just ok but it did tend to clog up. I think it put too much stress on the motor to do espresso grinds. Anyway, not an issue now since the motor didn't hold up at all. I am now going to go ahead and buy something that costs more but that I can depend on to last.
Rating: - It's all true
everyhting they say about this POS is true. I have two here, if anyone wants one. They don't even make a good paperweight.
Rating: - Works Great !
This, so far, is working out fine. Does what it says it does. Dependable. I have used it for 9 months now.
