Buying pre-ground coffee may seem convenient, but in the world of coffee, that’s a real crime. Don’t kill the flavor for the sake of a few extra seconds.
That’s right; you don’t need to plug in your grinder for the most vibrant cup. You can actually get the best bean-to-carafe brew in no time. All you need is a machine that does both – grind and brew your beloved Java beans.
Luckily, we’ve found 12 amazing appliances that can transform your kitchen and brewing morning routines.
With the Capresso 465 grinder/brewer, you will enjoy the freshest cuppa ever. Thanks to the integrated conical burr grinder that turns your beans into uniform and fine particles, most of the coffee’s rich aroma will be preserved.
Capresso 465 is our definite best choice thanks to its amazing programmable functions. You can not only program the amount of coffee to brew, but you can actually choose two different operations– one set manually and one automatically.
The carafe is thermal and stainless steel; the footprint is compact, the design elegant, the display is LCD. The appliance can also be used with water filters for the cleanest cup, and it comes with a durable and GoldTone coffee filter.
But that’s not all. Thanks to the Drip Stop function, you can pause the brew at any point to remove the carafe and pour yourself a fresh cup of Joe before the cycle is even finished.
If you are a fan of specialty coffee, then you cannot do better than this super-automatic maker. This De’Longhi machine will not only grind and make delicious coffee and authentic espresso, but it also has an integrated “Cappuccino System” that froths milk almost instantly.

And if you are not that crazy about cleaning (and who is?), you will love the fact that this appliance requires about half the time it takes to clean other similar makers on the market.
The best value on this list, the Cuisinart Grind & Brew, offers automatic brewing and grinding, 12 cups of capacity, 24-hour programmability, and a pause-brew function, without breaking the bank.
It has a glass carafe, dripless spout, and an ergonomic handle for safe brewing. This Cuisinart maker comes with a GoldTone coffee filter and a charcoal water filter that will make sure no impurities enter your cup.
The best part about this grinder/maker combo is the fact that it allows a pause function to sneak a cup mid-cycle, it has an automatic shutoff, and you can also pause the grind function if you (for some reason) decide to stick to pre-ground coffee.
The Barsetto Grind-and-Brew automatic maker includes a conical burr grinder that allows you to choose from five different settings – from coarse to fine – for your customized cup of Joe.

The thing that makes this maker a bit more desirable than the similar KRUPS model is its 24-hour programmability, which busy workers will deeply appreciate.
This may be a grind-and-brew coffee maker, but really, it is a 3-in-1 appliance. Why? Because the Hamilton Beach programmable does not only grind and brew, it also self-rinses the chamber after the cycle is finished. Pretty amazing, right? But that’s not all. Besides the auto-rinsing, the machine features a self-cleaning cycle that also makes deep cleaning a breeze.
Its 24-hour programmability and the four strength brewing options make this appliance even more desirable.

If you own a microscope (or know someone who does), I suggest you take a single bean and expect it carefully. You will see that it is made of tiny holes, which is why we can easily extract its flavor by running water through its surface.
In its whole form, coffee beans have a very small surface that gets in contact with oxygen (remember, it is highly porous). Grind those beans, and you will create tiny particles. But, considering their volume, these particles now have a massive surface area for the air to act on.
The longer the beans sit ground, the staler they get. For you to enjoy the rich flavor profile of the beans, ideally, you should grind them just before brewing.
But why should you own a coffee maker that has a built-in grinder?
It may seem overwhelming, but these coffee makers are actually pretty easy to operate:
The best (and easiest) way to clean your coffee machine is by running a vinegary cycle.
As you can see, there are a lot of reasons why you should update your drip maker with a new coffee machine that comes with a built-in grinder. There is nothing quite like a fresh cup of Joe, so why settle for a stale taste when you can enjoy the richest flavor from the comfort of your home? I hope that this article was able to help you find the perfect grind/brew match for you.
