Review: Capresso Coffee Maker/ Burr Grinder

It grinds, it brews, and it's easy to clean. What more can a caffeine addict ask? I have a few small complaints about the Capresso Combination Coffee Maker/ Burr Grinder, but they are nit-picking complaints. This coffee maker is definitely superior to the Cuisinart I used to own.

The Capresso has the grinding and brewing parts next to each other, and moves the coffee basket between them. To grind and brew, swing the basket under the grinder and press the start button. The machine grinds beans and then moves the basket under the brewer's hot water dispenser. This avoids the soggy mess that rising steam creates in the grinder of other combination grinder-brewers.

Price:
Shop wisely and look for coupons. The usual price is $199, but I had a 20% off coupon from a local gourmet shop, so I only paid $160. The savings bought a lot of coffee beans.
