I need a recommendation on a good coffeemaker. I'd like one that grinds the beans for me if possible. I'd like to keep it under $100 as well.

Thanks for the help!

Buy a cheap grinder, then a coffee maker.
Preferably french press.

Grinders are cheap and have several uses.

I know people who have had problems with the grinder/maker combos.

It brews a pot but dispenses 1 cup at a time. I'm asking for one for Valentine's Day from the wife.

Cuisinart Burr Grinder, about $50.

Capresso 484.05 MG600 Plus 10-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe

The coffee maker is shallower than most, which I like. The only thing I don't like about it is the non-programmable auto-shutoff time. It'll shut off after 2 hours, but I'd rather it shut off after 10 minutes.

I love the french press, but some mornings I need a big gulp.

I also have a Cuisinart that is self dispensing, no carafe.

Nice to have both options, especially with company.

The Bonavita is closest competitor to the legendary Technivorm
It is $50 more than you are willing to pay, but I say it is worth it. It will make a better cup than the rest. LINK

Take a peek at a cold brew extract maker, the coffee produced cuts down on the acid levels greatly as that of hot water coffee makers. One round of making the extract will last quite a while as you store the carafe in the fridge and use a tiny bit for each cup with water from the nuke box or stove top to warm the mixture. After that take a look into a French press for making your cup.

BUNN.... this is best coffee maker I've ever used


It holds a reservoir at the ideal temperature, brews quickly and easily. I swear the coffee comes out better than any brewer I've had. I used to have the cuisinart grinder/brewer with thermal carafe, and this thing blows it away flavor wise. The only drawback with the BUNN is the carafe itself. It pours great and is easy to use; however, it holds heat like aluminum.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't use it often, then this brewer isn't for you. Reservoir machines require frequent use; you have to drain and refill them if not used for more than three days. I guess this isn't totally necessary, but I'm sure it has something to do with standing water and other things.

Get a separate grinder if you absolutely need one, but I find it unnecessary. I buy my coffee at orleans coffee exchange LINK, and I pick it ground to my liking. By the way, this is the best coffee around imo. They service all the high end restaurants here, and their creole chicory is phenomenal
