Are there any reliable grind and brew coffee makers?

I just sold my Keurig B40 because I thought the coffee tasted terrible. I am looking for a machine that grinds and brews so that I can have fresh ground/brewed coffee in the morning and set a timer to do both. So far my search has found that these machines tend to be quite unreliable. Some people love their Krups, about the same amount of people say theirs stopped working after 5-6 months. Seems to be the same situation with the Kitchen Aid series. If anyone has a great grind and brew machine that has worked for a year or more and isn’t insanely priced please let me know. Thanks.

You’re going to do best to buy the two separately. If one part breaks, you’re stuck.

My recommendation for the Burr grinder is the Breville BCG450XL Black / Silver Conical Burr Grinder

My favorite coffee maker is made by Bunn
