Grind and brew coffee maker

Tried 'em all, I guess. Best I ever had, bar none, was the Toshiba MyCafe. Used less coffee for a richer cup, could be set for a wide choice of strength. Trouble is, sale in USA was banned by feds in a trade dispute. Melitta was good, but way hard to clean. Cuisinart even harder and made weak coffee, often spilled messily onto counter.
Finally got a Capresso CoffeeTEAM in white, to match our kitchen (color no longer made, alas). This was the next best to Toshiba, though coffee still not as good. Far, far easier to clean since it keeps several pots worth of bean dry. You just throw out the paper filter, or clean the permanent filter. My advice? Get a Toshiba if you can possibly find one and buy an extra carafe and grinder/filter basket. If not, get a CoffeeTEAM. Best, fastest coffee however was not from a grind and brew machine. I could grind the beans, pop them into the filter, pour water in the top of my BUNN machine and within seconds good coffee pours into the carafe — just couldn't set it to do all this automatically. The Capresso just shorted out, so I will go back to the BUNN for awhile.
