Replacement Filter Basket We love this coffee pot but the filter basket has ripped after only about 1 year of usage. Does anyone know where I can buy a new one? There are lots of sites out there that list the basket as a product they carry (same as Amazon), but when you go to the site, they don't actually have it... probably because Melitta is no longer making this product.

Hi Everyone,Today November 23rd I received a message from the president of Melitta about the filter basket and replacement lid:>>>You can purchase the Mill & Brew filter basket directly from us. Our consumer relations dept. is open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4:30pm, except this week we will be closed Thursday and Friday. The cost of the basket including shipping and handling is $13.45.<<<<I Called 1 - 888 - 635 -4882 and ordered the replacement basket AND an extra lid - -the lid was only $2.50 Regards,

My pump finally went out in my unit and I know that parts like this are not available. So, after 11 years of usage, my unit finally had to be thrown out. The good news, I found a new coffee pot with like features. After looking at this unit I would swear that it was a Melitta knock off. I bought it at Wal Mart and the inner basket looks almost 99% like the Melitta inner basket. I bought it and the only disappointing part is that the grind cannot be adjusted. Here is the link to the unit: http://www.bhglivebetter.com/appliances/coffee-maker

I have had the same problem and it is getting worse. Currently looking for alternate sources for the paart, but Melitta sells the part for about $24 including shipping ... at nearly half the cost of a new one, I am really debating. If you go to shop.melitta.com you can find the contact information. Again, I am looking for a wholesaler that might have the part less expensive.

So has anyone had a success finding a replacement basket with more reasonable price?

Believe it or not I have 1 new basket and one slightly used (still looks new). I will sell the new one and keep the slightly new one for my replacement. I also have an extra outer basket. I have had my melitta for 7 years and other than a few small issues, it has worked flawlessly. I would be willing to part with it. I am posting this email to all three of you that are looking for the same item. email is bjohn@mcsi.net.

I bought mine used from Amazon. It should had been discarded instead of resold there for I believe there was no inspection before reselling the coffee maker. This is why I say buy new

Bunn will send a replacement head with smaller holes if you call customer service. For some models, at least, there is no charge. It provides a slower flow, with the purpose of keeping the basket from overflowing if the filter tends to get clogged with salt from softened water. Don't know if it will make the coffee stronger, but the price is right.

I found the glass knob, mine cracked, in an antique shop. They sometimes will keep extra parts. I also suggest doing a search on Amazon or Google. Finally, you can sometimes find a similar pot at a yard sale and transfer the lid to your coffee pot which has more sentimental value. Good luck!

We just put a paper filter into the "basket" for our coffee. The coffee maker has a lift out brown plastic basket that uses paper filters. I tried buying a "metal mesh" permanent filter but it did not fit correctly in the coffee maker. It was a Hamilton Beach brand filter. Amazon was very willing to refund our money for it. We are perfectly happy with the paper filters.

Sorry, I bought a spare carafe some years ago after I broke the original washing it. So far so good on the one I received when I purchased another coffee maker. Good luck in finding one.

Do NOT be fooled. You still need to use a Paper coffee filters in this basket. There is a certain type of Unhealthy oil material that comes off of All coffee..Only the coffee filter can catch it.If you notice with this is sold separate, Melitta 628354 Disc Coffeemaker Filters - Pack of 2 (200 Filters total)by Melitta ...Btw Dr. Oz talks about the need for coffee filters all the time even if your coffee pot comes with the mesh, or percolator , for a good reason.

LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory! I've had mine for about a year. Although it makes very good coffee I like mine quite strong. The brew basket on this unit isn't sized for "too much" ground coffee, so if you want it strong you have to make it in smaller batches. Also, be sure to take the shower head out and clean it after brewing as the grinds float to the top and stick to it.Jon GordonI know this is a bummer, but this is just one of the short comings of this unit. Better by a replacement basket now, if you can get one, as Bodum isn't making them anymore and if yours cracks like mine did, then you'll be out of luck. LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory!

I bought this coffee maker today, but the box had been opened before and resealed, and I don't find the manual inside. There is any way to find a manual online for this model? Also I'm wondering if is coming with a permanent filter like:"Coffee GTF2-1 Basket-style Gold Tone Permanent Filter", or it has only that plastic bin for paper filters!

I've had my coffee maker for over a year now and have had no problems. Maybe u got a defective one. Is it still under warranty? I absolutely love mine.

I've had my machine for less than a year, and lately also have not been able to get the water to push through the grounds as it always has. I've taken the baskets apart, cleaned all the filters, made an attempt at descaling, and still, the water flow stops at the grounds. My espresso machine's constipated! I'll try what Bill says, but I'm doubtful. I think it may be time already to shell out more money for repair or another model.

Sorry that happened, and I wish I could help, they do not make that pot anymore, I called and emailed them to no avail. Do you have the booklet any more? Never mind, I just looked at mine, and it hasn't got any sort of answer to that, good luck, I have to throw mine out, it has no replaceable carafe!! What a waste.

Try Coffee and Toy Company. Mfg in China is Generic but I think contacting Coffee and Toy is probably the best. I had a broken part that held the coffee when I received it but contacted seller through amazon. They quickly responded and sent replacement. Good Folks at that company. They will probably help you as well. Go through Amazon and they will also help. The device is wonderful but as you found out fragile. I use rubber mat when cleaning as we have a cast iron sink. Hope this helps! Happy New Year! PS Don't use ice just cold water and it works fine.

Ok. Your coffee maker is still under warranty. Return it to where you bought it and get another. If they don't cooperate, contact Mr. Coffee, online, and they will make arrangements to send you a new one. I just did this very thing because of a bad heating plate that rusted out. Best of luck!

Apparently the Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Permanent Filter is considered and Extra, some models include them. Mine did not. That and Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Basket Style Paper filters and coffee scoop can be purchased at 1-800-672-6333. I purchase Melitta Super Premium Coffee Filters 200 per package, $2.59 ( natural). This info is in the Manual that came with my unit. LMG

Funny, I had the exact same issue - I had taken the filter out to clean it and the mesh just disintegrated when I rubbed it. So I looked for a new filter. You can buy them on the Aroma website - only two dollars - but you have to call them about it so that they can be sure to send you the correct one for your model. That saves mistakes I guess - but it doesn't inform you about any shipping charges. I did not call because then the on/off switch stopped working. The kettle still boils water but we really get good use out of this feature ( OK we are good at wandering away and forgetting we left it on)! SO now we are looking for a replacement. The kettle lasted us about 14 months.
