Clever dripper. Benefit of contact time of French press, benefit of easy cleanup and filtering to prevent sludge in your cup. |

I use a Breville Burr grinder and a Technivorm Moccamaster with a thermal carafe for my morning coffee.
It's been a good setup for the past four years and I'd buy the same thing again if anything needed to be replaced. But, there aren't any automatic features with the brewer. |

I actually preferred the coffee I made with a burr grinder, fresh roasted beans and a french press. But I hated cleaning up the inevitable messes I made. One morning I dumped the beans in the grinder, hit the start button and realized 10 seconds later that the receptacle the grinds go into wasn't on it. Jesus what a mess, it sprayed grounds halfway across the kitchen. The wife about had a cow.
I'm way better off with the Keurig.

If you're interested in hand grinding, there's a new grinder on the market.
I have one and it is much better than my Hario. Hind grinder |

The Rancillio grinder is what you seek, mate it to the Silvia espresso machine and you're set. Otherwise a French Press is also a great option, you can get by using the grinder at the grocery store if that's all you want to do.

I am no coffee expert, usually just a percolator and buying some whole coffee beans to grind with a hand grinder. My g/f had a keurig and recently ditched it for a ninja coffee bar. I was skeptical but after putting my own ground coffee blend in it and hitting the rich blend button. It is a cup of heaven for me and she can do her peppermint mocha froth stuff or whatever it is.

I'm no help OP, I'm using a Norelco 12 drip coffee maker from the 70's. It still works and is a 1200W coffee maker.
It is able to get the water to the necessary 200+ degrees which is why I'm still using it. Someday it is going to give up the ghost, so I'm in for the recommendations. |

Consumer Reports rated coffee makers, and believe it or not, the $15.00 Mr. Coffee machine topped all the others. I've been using this and grinding my own Colombian beans in a Mr. Coffee grinder, and I make some awesome coffee. You can quickly overthink this thing.

Maybe you're looking for something more complicated but we upgraded to a Wilbur Curtis pour over a couple of months ago. The water stays hot so it's always ready for use. We've tried every coffee under the sun but have not been able to match the simplicity and taste/quality of DD coffee.

I use a Bodum conicle burr grinder.
It is one of the few that havea glass container so static buildup is less of an issue. Downside is timer is calabrated in seconds not cups. Also I have a coffee maker with a thermal carafe, keeps the coffee hot without cooking it. |

I've had a Bodum glass press for nearly a decade now. I enjoy the steeped coffee over any drip. It's a lot better than the double wall SS one I bought from Amazon for camping that can hear metal shavings shaking around in the non-vacuum space.
Bought a crank burr grinder for camping too, not that consistent. Neither was first electric I bought with variable grind settings for $50. I prefer pulsing in the cheaper electric wing-blade grinder. P.S. I do one full press in the morning and put the remaining 3 cups in a thermos. |

I use a FP, Moka pot, Cory vacuum pots and the ChemEx pour over carafe and the latter can be had for about $55, with 100 of their thicker paper filters.
It makes a great cup of coffee and isn't that hard to clean up. My grinder is a Rancilio Rocky flat burr grinder, but that's close to $350 these days. Chris |

The coffee grinder thread got me thinking. I use to enjoy freshly ground and brewed coffee. Heck, at one point I had an expresso maker with frother so I could have cappuccino. I loved it. I would grind the beans (I did not have a burr grinder) and set the maker to brew every morning when my alarm went off. That coffee maker died when I was first introduced to a Keurig. The ease won me over. I have been using Keurig machines for the past couple of years. I was fine with it until I started drinking more good coffee house brews in the shop across from my office. What is a good burr grinder and good coffee maker? I am not interested in a french press, but you can talk me out of that. I would prefer something that I could set up and program the night before (not sure on whether the beans are good sitting ground all night). At any rate, talk to me about finally getting back to good coffee at home. The Keurig? I am over it. Thanks, Corey This is what we did after out third expresso machine died: For about $34.00 we bought a Bialetti 6-Cup Mokka Expresso. NO electric heaters. NO Pumps. Just scoop in coffee, add water to lower chamber and heat on stove top for about 6 minutes. Comes out great! Just add water to make "Americano Style" coffee. You can get spare rubber gaskets and other parts online and they make about a dozen sizes and colors. You will LOVE it! |

If you want really good coffee, give up on the overnight thing. Grind the beans a minute or two before you brew them.
Something like this would be a fantastic set-up Or this less expensive set-up |

I have a french press and a small "single shot" Kuerig. I only drink coffee from the Kuerig that I grind myself from a local roaster and put into one of the reusable cups. I use a pretty fine grind.
It's not 100% ideal but it makes a decent cup with quality beans, for my taste. I drink it black. I like french press okay but only really the first pour after the plunge so it's like the rest is wasted... Alot of snobs love to hate the Kuerig (my dad won't even try my method) - it's mostly the shitty coffee cups that are to blame - but it's served me well and my wife likes the shitty cups since it's mostly cream and sugar for her in the end anyways. It's just a drip machine afterall. |

This has been my go to for a LOOONG time. Mr. Coffee linky! Or just foogle it. Mr. Coffee 4 cup. I've never paid more than $15.00 for one and it makes a great cup of coffee. If i'm not in a hurry I'll use my pour over or my aero press and if I'm REALLY not in a hurry I pull out the Bialetti Moka. But for day in and day out---> Mr. Coffee.

This should not be difficult. Nearly any coffee maker should stand up well against that weak tasting k cup coffee. Google best coffee makers and shop by budget. You can get a decent one pretty affordably. Notice in most lists of best coffee makes the Keurig is no where to be found.
