12-Cup Mill+Brew Coffee Maker

best coffee maker with built-in grinder right now: Breville Grind Control - still the top pick. precise grind settings, programmable, makes good coffee. around $300-350. worth it if you want control over everything Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew - solid mid-range option. burr grinder (not blade), programmable, thermal carafe. \~$200-250. best value imo Capresso CoffeeTeam TS - compact, reliable, conical burr grinder. \~$200. good for smaller kitchens BLACK+DECKER Mill and Brew - budget option at \~$100. blade grinder tho, not burr, so grind consistency isn't as good. fine if you're just getting into fresh grinding De'Longhi Dinamica Plus - this is a super-automatic espresso machine, not a drip coffee maker. different category entirely. $1000+. makes espresso, cappuccinos, etc. real talk: these are convenient but there's a tradeoff. a separate quality grinder + quality coffee maker will always make better coffee than an all-in-one. but if counter space or simplicity is your priority, these work. And if you do want to weigh your options, then please feel free to [check out this article](https://www.roastycoffee.com/best-coffee-maker-with-grinder/) So in conclusion, the grinder in most of these isn't amazing - it's just "good enough." if you're really into coffee, you'll eventually want to upgrade to a standalone grinder

My Black & Decker 12-cup drip coffeemaker has a couple of decades service in. The stainless steel French press I take camping should survive until the end of time.

Mine was new from Walmart 10 years ago after my thrift store one died. $15. Would buy again! 😃

I have a $15 Black&Decker 12 cup drip coffee maker I’ve had for 10 years. Does the job. Good coffee. I’m satisfied with it.

I've had many over the years. I recently threw away my Black and Decker, it worked ok but was extremely loud. Lots of weird popping noises. After a few years it got to where it needed to be de-scaled twice a month. Which is odd as I have a whole house water softener and filtration system. I caught a Black Friday deal on Amazon for a Mochamaster unit for about $150. Loving it so far.

I can't speak to the longevity. But I did just buy a 40oz "10 cup" Moccamaster KBT for $205. The one with the thermal carafe, a few weeks ago. Previously, I had a $20 Black and Decker drip coffee maker that's still going strong after 10 years. It's a daily machine in the past 5 years. In between machines, I experimented with a Moka Pot clone, French Press, and pour over with Hario v60 gooseneck kettle. A pour over, when done right is really great. I like the French Press and Moka Pot too. Each have their pros and cons, especially in the clean-up phase. The Moccamaster is an automated pour over. For machines, the Moccamaster comes out hotter than the B&D. It's also one of the smoothest cups of coffee I've had. It's super easy to use, especially if you're coffee deprived in the morning. The more I use it, the more I like it. Did I ever think I'd spend 10x the amount I spent on the last coffee machine? No. However, it suits my needs of brewing straight into the carafe and cleanup is super easy.

This. Hamilton Beach, Proctor-Silex, Krups, KitchenAid, Bella, Black and Decker(!) - any basic drip machine will do the trick. $20-50. Filters are cheap, cleaning/descaling is easy, They will last 5-10 years before you need to buy a replacement. Feature wise, you need to decide if you want auto-shutoff, or you want a "dumb" machine that just has an on/off switch, so it can keep warm for more than two hours, as long you're not forgetful.

I've had the same $20 black and Decker coffee maker for 10 years. Simple is better!
