I'm kicking Keurig to the curb. Recs for coffee makers that grind and use whole beans?

This Keurig machine is getting stomped like the printer on Office Space. Looking for a decent maker in the 400-500 range (max) that is reliable and fairly easy to keep clean/maintain. Single servings would be great but I'm open to suggestions. Amazon? Bed Bath Beyond? Sam's or Wal Mart? Ready to drink good coffee again. TIA

Just buy a grinder and use a French press.

Several friends have a Breville that grinds and brews all in one but all of the online reviews say that it gets easily clogged.

For the money, I'd get a separate grinder.

A grinder and French press doesn’t require that much effort and it produces better coffee than most expensive machines.

I use a French press, and when I am in a major rush I use my Nespresso for a quick shot.

buy the k-cup reusable universal coffee filter and put a scoop or 2 of your favorite coffee and brew. French Market Restaurant Blend.

I use a Capresso grinder/brewer and it works great.

The brewer uses higher than usual temperature water and spreads out the drip more. I only use distilled water, which is the single best thing though.

My coffee is probably on par with anything I can get in a hipster coffee shop. You won't regret it. Keurig is awful by comparison.

keep the keurig and just use it for the instant hot water it creates, and use that hot water for a french press
