About 30 owners award the Mill & Brew 3.5 stars (out of five). Several owners pan the auto-shutoff feature, which turns off after an hour. For some, this is much too soon. Others say that the latch that holds the filter container closed is prone to breaking. Most, however, say it's easy to use and brews great-tasting coffee.
