We Tested 20 Coffee Makers With Grinders—Here Are The Ones That Wowed Us

Our Top Pick

Breville The Grind Control Coffee Maker

$350 at Amazon $350 at Sur La Table $350 at Williams Sonoma

As our top choice for making the perfect cup of coffee, this Breville machine yielded a smooth cup with no coffee grounds left in the bottom during our tests. It earned high scores across all the categories for its user-friendly design, insulation carafe, and tasty brew.

The machine comes with numerous accessories, such as a gold-tone filter and a cleaning brush, and the display provides you with all the info you could need. We love that it tells you how long it will take to brew a pot of coffee so you can keep your morning routine running smoothly. If you like to drink coffee throughout the morning or are part of a family where one person wakes up earlier than others, the thermal carafe is a nice touch for keeping the rest of the pot fresh and warm after the first cup is poured. In tests, the coffee came out nice and hot at 176°F.

You can customize nearly every setting of this coffee maker and grinder, from presetting when it brews to how finely ground you want your beans. You can also choose anything from a full 12-cup carafe of coffee with the included container or brew directly into a single travel mug. Overall, this is a versatile option that delivers convenience.

Best for Espresso

Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine

$850 at Amazon $850 at Sur La Table $850 at Macys

Eliminate the need for baristas in your life and save some money by becoming your own. The Breville Barista Pro will have you brewing and frothing like a professional, and though that might sound intimidating, it was actually very easy to use once we got the initial setup down during our tests. The best part about the machine is that it comes with all the accessories you could need, from a milk frothing cup to a tamper to a cleaning kit.

Far more intuitive and fun than a classic machine for professionals, this Breville model features an LCD screen that details the process of grinding and extracting with helpful animations. This means even beginners can catch on quickly. The coffee maker's digital temperature control ensures the perfect temperature for espresso, so you'll get high-quality shots with every extraction.

The Details: 13 x 12 x 13 inches; 2-liter water capacity; burr grinder; no carafe needed

Most Versatile

Cuisinart Coffee Center Grind & Brew Plus

$230 at Amazon $22 at Walmart $230 at Sur La Table

Subpar tap water won't ever impact your coffee's taste again, thanks to the charcoal water filter in this Cuisinart coffee center. A highly versatile maker and grinder, this machine not only makes drip coffee but also can accommodate single-use pods, brewing them in 8, 10, or 12 ounces.

Similar to the Black+Decker budget pick, this Cuisinart machine also grinds and brews in tandem, so you can walk away once you start it up. It comes with 24-hour programmability and a removable drip tray that was very easy to clean and take apart during our tests. The only cons we noted were that the grinding process was loud and it took slightly longer to brew than other machines.

The Details: 10.75 x 11.75 x 16 inches; 12-cup capacity; blade grinder; glass carafe

Best Budget

Black+Decker 12-Cup Mill and Brew Coffee Maker

$100 $68 at Amazon $80 $13 at Walmart $68 at Wayfair

For under $100, the Black+Decker Mill and Brew model offers many of the same features as pricier coffee makers with grinders but at a much lower price. The grinding and brewing work in tandem, so once you start grinding the beans, the machine automatically starts brewing the coffee. You can select from regular, bold, or strong settings, depending on how you like your coffee, and you can program it the night before to have a hot pot ready when you wake up. Although the grinder is a bit louder than others, it was easy to set up and worked fast in tests.

This coffee maker handles its own cleanup, too. During our testing period, we found cleaning to be as simple as running a cycle with water only, tossing the grounds, and drying the machine after the cycle was up.

The Details: 13.5 x 10 x 15.5 inches; 12-cup capacity; blade grinder; glass carafe

Best for Small Kitchens

Cuisinart Coffee Center Grind & Brew Plus

$150 at Amazon $150 at Target $13 at Walmart

Thanks to this Cuisinart single-serve coffee maker, you can have a coffee maker and burr grinder even in a small kitchen. Choose from 8-, 10-, or 12-ounce pours, and have it grind your beans for you with a built-in burr grinder, or use prepackaged pods. In our tests, we found it to be very simple and user-friendly.

While it can't brew coffee for a family, this single-serve maker has everything a person could ask for. Its features include a charcoal water filter to remove taste-impacting water impurities, a large reservoir so you don't have to add water with each brew and a removable drip tray that lets you brew directly into a travel mug. We also love how easy it is to take apart and clean.

The Details: Measures 9.1 x 9.1 x 9.1 inches; 1-cup capacity; burr grinder; no carafe

Best Splurge

Miele CM 5310 Silence Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine

$1,799 $1,399 at Amazon $1,400 at Williams Sonoma $1,800 at Sur La Table

Indulge in a luxurious cup of coffee or an espresso drink with this splurge-worthy machine by Miele. Although it's the most expensive model we tested, we thought it was well worth the price tag since it allows you to keep custom settings and has a copious amount of features, from quiet conical grinding to the included drawer for ground coffee. Even the milk frother takes the work on for you with a tube that sucks the milk from the container, through the machine, and into the cup. This makes it very easy to use and convenient, as the tube folds into a compartment built into the machine.

Numerous machine components, such as the waste container and water tank, are dishwasher safe, and it comes with descaling tablets to ensure no water stains or residues build up. The grinder is even made of wear-resistant steel, so you can have the most flavorful of beans for years to come.

The Details: 18.1 x 9.5 x 14.2 inches; 1.3-liter water/8-cup capacity; burr grinder; stainless steel carafe
