The Capresso CoffeeTEAM is a unique machine on this list because it actually has a stainless steel conical burr grinder integrated into it. This means you can just put some beans in the hopper and grind them fresh without having to transfer messy coffee grinds from a stand-alone grinder into the coffee brewer. The CoffeeTEAM also has some the “creature comforts” that the Technivorm Moccamaster (to follow) is missing, including a programmable clock and timer so you can wake up to a fresh pot of coffee. The CoffeeTEAM also features a conical brew basket for more even coffee saturation, a 1000-watt heating system and a thermal carafe to keep your coffee warm without the strong, direct-heat of a hot plate.
