Burr Grind & Brew 12 Cup 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

Aeropress coffee is simple to make and tastes really good. The problem is the plastic leaching. They make a tempered glass one now but it’s 200 bucks. I use an insulated, stainless steel French press. I grind my beans in a hand-held, burr grinder. I bought a Cuisinart auto-drip with a timer and built in burr grinder, but I wasn’t wild about it in the end. Made a few pots and wound up giving it away.

Super late to this ! I have the same Cuisinart as you mentioned for a year some months. Second time I'm having issues with the grinder - first time I cleared beans thru grinding etc to get it back to strength. But this time around doing that didn't help. I really do like the machine, just sad that it's not getting the strength it usually does. I'm going to try emptying out the grinder again, hopefully it'll fix it. Anything else I need to do?

We went from a Bunn to a Cuisinart and never looked back. It has a grinder in it too that we use pretty regularly, and although it has a ln auto timer we usually just prep it the night before and turn it on as we're getting ready in the morning. Also FWIW I dont think you can set the water temp but the coffee has never tasted burnt for us. Edit: We have a nespresso we use all the time too that thing rules.

Cuisinart burr grinder & coffeemaker. Definitely recommend.
