I have a Capresso with the Burr grinder.  Love it.  Its so much more convenient than having to separtely grind every morning..... but would love a machine with a spray shower head.  I know that Cusinart just came out with a new machine that now has a burr (rather than their previous model that had the blade) . Does anyone know if that machine has a spray head?

problem is that the HEAT and HUMIDITY of the brewing gets to the beans  making 'em stale  

NOT a good thing.

Cuisinart's latest grind-n-brew has a built in flat burr grinder, using the same burrs as in their dumpy little burr grinder.  So results will be the same.  The Capresso is about the only really good combination machine, and even that isn't what I would call ideal.  If either one or the other stops working, you're stuck without anything.  You can get a Capresso Infinity for $89, and a Bunn brewer for $99 ($59 for reman.).   That's still cheaper than the Capresso CoffeeTeam grinder/brewer combination.
