Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Melitta MEMB1B Mill & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, Black

  „For the full experience, here's how it goes: pour water into reservoir (a window gauge shows the desired level up to 10 cups); spoon roasted coffee beans into permanent stainless-steel filter basket (no disposable filters needed); program mill to grind beans as you wish (seven settings, from fine to coarse); set clock to current time of day; program timer to begin automatic grinding and brewing process at the hour and minute you wish; sleep like a baby; savor coffee precisely as you like it when you awake. Ground coffee can be used instead of whole beans, and the whole coffee-making process can be initiated instantly without setting the timer. Other attributes: dripping ceases when the tempered-glass carafe is removed from the nonstick warming plate; shutting down is automatic after one hour to prevent damage; cord stores in the rear of the unit. This is a thoroughly modern coffeemaker, suitable for people who take coffee seriously but crave convenience.“

  „A 30 minute warm-up (or longer) is all you need to pre-heat the machine and the portafilter. Be careful about putting too much coffee in the basket. Inserting the portafilter becomes difficult and you may get the dreaded "pfutt" and end up with coffee grounds and water in your cup.“

Good To the Last Drip: Part 2 (INeedCoffee.com)

  „The real problem: poor extraction and the dreaded "plugged" filter effect. This is where the coffee can't drain as fast as the hot water is entering the basket and as a result, hot coffee sludge comes pouring out of the basket sending grounds into the carafe and all over the counter top. It is a horrible experience indeed and one to be avoided at all costs.“
