2. Cuisinart Grind & Brew

If you're a fan of making your own coffee, this is among the top machines and grinders you can purchase. The Grind & Brew features a burr grinder that crushes the beans to a pre-set size, and a 12-cup glass carafe to dispense it into. It's a very versatile device that will save you money in the end, and it can also help you avoid the environmental impacts of purchasing and throwing away hundreds of single-use Keurig K-Cup pods each week.

This Cuisinart coffee maker and grinder has an easy layout and few easy-to-read controls. The auto-off feature that can be programmed for 24 hours is particularly useful, and there's the option of a 1-4 cup setting to inform you when it's ready to go. The grinding process was noisy and the water basin could have been larger to hold more ground.

The most attractive feature of this Cuisinart model is the built-in burr grinder mechanism. Burr grinders generally give an even grind than bladed grinders, as they use an impeller to crush the beans to a preset size, instead of cutting and dicing them based on gravity. This helps to ensure that you're making your coffee from the freshest and most flavorful beans you can get.

While it's a great option for anyone who makes their own coffee, the DGB-900 Burr Grind and Brew can be confusing to operate if you're accustomed to a basic drip machine. The first thing you'll have to do is turn the dial to select the appropriate amount of beans. This is done in increments of 2, starting at 2 and ending at 12. Then, you'll have to press the control button for strength to switch between mild, medium or strong brew options.

The controls were clearly laid out and the machine was very easy to clean. The DGB-900 contains many components that require more attention than a drip coffee maker. Cuisinart for instance, recommends cleaning the burr grinder and hopper, as well as the coffee chute every seven to 10 uses. This is more often than you would have to do with Technivorm Moccamasters or other less heavy drip machines.

3. Cuisinart DCM-860

A full-sized coffee maker featuring a built-in burr grinder This Cuisinart coffee maker gives you the best of both worlds. The Italian-style, brushed metal design hides a powerful burr grinder that grinds your whole beans prior to entering the brewing process for the most flavorful cup. DirectFlow then transfers the coffee beans that have been ground into the brew basket to ensure a perfect cup each time. This model also has large displays that make the process of setting up settings simple.

The grinder isn't as precise to create the perfect cup of coffee every time. If the grind isn't very fine it could clog the filter and reduce the flow of water to the puck to extract the maximum amount of coffee flavor. A coarser grind will allow the brew to be brewed for longer, but leaves the coffee with less flavor.

This fully automatic 12-cup coffee maker is a great addition for any kitchen.

If you're looking for a coffee maker that has an integrated grinder that can also brew a pot, or just one cup, you'll want to take a look at the Breville Grind Control. It's a bit more expensive than other models for brewing and grinding but we've found it produces better coffee due to more flexibility, particularly since it allows you to select the right grind size and strength settings. It also has a convenient and attractive design.

We also like the fact that it uses an stainless steel flat-machined grinder instead of conical burrs, which can cause clogging. The grinder is easy to use and makes an excellent cup of coffee even in single-cup mode. Its calibration feature, that allows you to weigh your coffee grounds and then calibrate the timer based on that information, is a great feature for those who are serious about their coffee.

The carafe is insulated and keeps the coffee hot for hours, and the machine also has an auto-start function which starts the brewing process at a preset time so that your morning cup of coffee is ready when you get up.

One drawback of this machine is that its thermal carafe is prone to cool down more quickly than glass carafes used in other grinders and brew equipment, and it can be hard to tell when the water tank needs refilling. You'll also need to clean the hopper and upper burr to ensure that the machine is operating as Efficiently grind coffee spices & nuts: SHARDOR Electric Grinder as it can.
