Title: Huge Disappointment
Review: I researched for a couple weeks and decided a thermal pot with a grinding option was the way to go. We went with the Melitta and have been extremely disappointed. After 1 month, we never use the thing, prefering our little coffee press or our old drip machine (the one we were replacing with this new one). The problem? The coffee is not hot. It is barely warm. The thermal pot doesn't even keep it warm for long. When we do use it, we have to put very hot water in the pot for several minutes before brewing, which helps but doesn't really solve the problem. (And it takes 10 minutes prep time.) I never thought of myself as a "hot" coffee guy but this stuff doesn't even come close, even if I pour the cup 1 minute after it is done brewing. Other than that, the mill works fine, it seems well made, and looks cool on the counter. It is a pain to clean but we don't have that problem anymore; we hate using it.
