The 8 Best Coffee Makers with Grinders of 2024, According to Our Testers

Best Overall

Breville The Grind Control Coffee Maker

$280 at Amazon $350 at Crate & Barrel $280 at Williams-Sonoma

In just six minutes — including the bean grinding — you'll have a full, freshly brewed pot of coffee with the Breville Grind Control Coffee Maker. The brew came out smooth and consistent, with no grounds at the bottom of the cup.

The grinding and brewing processes worked well. Using this machine was easy and user-friendly, though some instructions on the water-to-bean ratio would have been nice. This machine is average-sized and a little bulky, but the carafe was insulated, which is a nice touch. It also comes with a stainless steel travel mug, making the morning commute a bit more pleasant.

The thoughtful touches didn't end with the insulated carafe. Any regular coffee drinker knows how long the wait can feel for that first cup in the morning, so we really appreciated the digital display on this machine, which indicates the grind time and when it's preheating. The display shows you exactly how long it will take to brew a pot of coffee.

This model also earned our top score for ease of cleaning — it was very simple to take apart and wash (the removable parts are dishwasher safe!), a must for ensuring your cups of coffee stay as fresh as possible.

Best Budget

Cuisinart Coffee Center Grind & Brew Plus

$150 at Target $120 at Walmart $150 at Wayfair

There's nothing like brewing cafe-quality coffee for a fraction of the price, which is exactly what you'll get with this money-saving single-serve machine. Without taking up much space in your kitchen, this Cuisinart model makes smooth, freshly ground cups of coffee, one at a time. And it only takes a minute and 23 seconds per cup.

We found that the coffee was smooth and silky, like a classic drip coffee. Another standout feature is its dual capability: It allows you to make a freshly ground cup from whole beans or coffee pods. It's ideal for on-the-go or small kitchens, and we highly recommend it for busy bees.

This machine is not only easy to disassemble and clean, but it is also very functional without taking up too much real estate on your counter. While it doesn't produce a variety of drinks (just a single cup of coffee) and there aren't adjustable grind settings, this machine is easy to use, easy to clean, and gets you out the door with a hot coffee fast.

Coffee Type: Drip | Dimensions: 11.02 x 7.28 x 12.67 inches | Weight: 8.5 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 12 ounces

Best for Espresso

Breville Barista Pro Espresso Machine

$850 at Amazon $850 at QVC $850 at Sur La Table

If you're looking for an espresso machine rather than a drip coffee pot, consider this model. It produces shots that we believe rival the taste of freshly made espresso from a coffee shop. The espresso brews super-fast, and the machine has its own timer on the display.

The included milk frother is very easy to use and produces a nice cafe-quality foam, plus a frothing cup, which is an added convenience. The machine is easy to set up, but we did note that the tamp can get locked into the machine after use, so it's hard to release it from the chamber.

The higher price reflects the quality of this machine and its excellent grinding and brewing capabilities. The Breville Barista Pro produces a custom grind, and the whole thing is very easy to use once you get the initial process down. It's easy to take apart and clean, too, which is always a plus.

Coffee Type: Drip, espresso | Dimensions: 13 x 12 x 13 inches | Weight: 20 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 2 cups

Best for Large Batches

Gevi 10-Cup Drip Coffee Maker with Grinder

$180 at Amazon $150 at Walmart View on Gevilife.com

This coffee machine was another crowd favorite in our testing. The grinding and brewing process is efficient and fast, though the grinder is very loud, so if the noise doesn't wake you up, the bold coffee will. The machine works quickly. It can brew up to 10 cups of coffee in just over four minutes. It also has a two-hour warming function to keep your coffee warm if the machine is not unplugged.

This no-frills model has a very straightforward design, but the instructions are not very clear. It's easy to clean, but it's particular: Be sure you add the exact amount of water for your brewing needs.

Despite those downsides, we found that this model brewed one of the best drip coffees we tried, and the price only adds to its value.

Coffee Type: Drip | Dimensions: 14.33 x 10 x 18.9 inches | Weight: 12 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 10 cups

Best with Carafe

Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal 10-Cup Coffeemaker

$230 at Walmart $230 at Crate & Barrel $230 at Kohls.com

There's just something about pouring a cup of coffee from a carafe that makes the Cuisinart Burr Grind and Brew Coffee Maker great for the nostalgic java drinker. We found favor with the easy setup process and easy-to-understand digital display, which made figuring out quantities and brewing functions (strictly ground or pre-ground drip coffee) pretty straightforward.

We were happy with how quietly this machine functioned, even when it was softly beeping to let us know the brewing process was complete. However, the brewing time from start to finish was a bit slow, though that's understandable due to the bigger vessel it has to fill as opposed to a single cup or shot. The carafe also kept the coffee nice and hot.

This machine may have fewer bells and whistles and not be as attractive as some of its companions on this list, but it's easy to set up and clean, so it's handy for a family of coffee enthusiasts or someone who runs on several cups a day.

Coffee Type: Drip | Dimensions: 8.5 x 11.4 x 16.3 inches | Weight: 17.7 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 10 cups

Best Design

Terra Kaffe TK-01 Espresso Machine

$895 at Nordstrom View on Curated.com $895 at Bloomingdales

The Terra Kaffe TK-01 makes a silky smooth, incredibly good shot of espresso. The grinding and brewing capabilities on this model are excellent — the Terra Kaffe does exactly what you want it to do with just the press of a button. While the machine is a tad bit loud as it goes to work on your coffee, the noise doesn't last long. The milk frother is easy to use and produces a nice, smooth foam, though the process is a bit messy. You also have options for your milk-to-foam ratio on this machine, among other choices on the display, which is a nice luxury.

This sleek model would fit perfectly into the aesthetic of a modern kitchen. We loved that the digital display was extremely detailed. However, there was no compartment for the milk frother, making the accessory that much more likely to get lost. The machine is very large and long, so count on it taking up some space. However, it's easy to take apart and clean.

Coffee Type: Espresso | Dimensions: 17.3 x 10.6 x 14 inches | Weight: 23 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 1 cup

Best Professional

De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio Espresso Machine

$739 at Amazon $900 at Wayfair $900 at Sur La Table

The De'Longhi La Specialista Prestigio Espresso Machine was dubbed a crowd favorite in our testing thanks to its delicious espresso shots, exceptional foam, and easy-to-use interface. Though this machine looks large and complicated, we found that it was incredibly easy to set up thanks to its comprehensive instruction manual. It's super quiet when running (a real plus in the morning!) and automatically tamps the grinds for you.

From several espresso-based coffee options to a state-of-the-art steam wand, there's much to love about this pro-level machine. However, as most professional-grade appliances do, this machine requires a bit of know-how before use. We needed to establish a base knowledge of espresso-making before using this model, though it's easy to catch on after you learn the general setup of the machine.

Coffee Type: Drip, espresso | Dimensions: 15 x 14.5 x 17.5 inches | Weight: 29.76 pounds | Grinder Type: Burr | Brew Capacity: 1 cup

Best Investment

Miele CM 5310 Silence Coffee Maker & Espresso Machine

$1,501 at Amazon $1,399 at Wayfair $1,399 at Wayfair

One would typically associate luxury with attractiveness, and that's exactly what you get with the sleek Miele Coffee Maker and Espresso Machine. With drip coffee, espresso, and milk frother functions, this machine is a one-stop shop for some of the best brews around.

We especially loved its easy-to-read digital display and superb milk frother, which automatically frothed the milk to foamy perfection without needing to manually guide the valve, a feature we appreciated. We also adored the "classic espresso" that this machine produced and the quality of the brew for all functions, from froth level to the absence of grinds and acidity level.

However, you do want to make sure you're an avid coffee drinker before you purchase the Miele, as this machine is on the heavy side and has the highest price on our list.
