Hi...welcome to the site! Is the reason you want the grind and brew system space, or just to have it ready in the morning? Good reasons for many, I know, especially early risers. Though I don't operate in that manner, a friend does...using a model made by Capresso...I believe it's mentioned here on this site...can't recall exact name....somebody HELP please :>)) Or you can go Consumer reviews, the Coffee brewers section, and click on "C...that should get you some reviews. Hope that helps....
As Robert said, I think the only respectable grind/brew combo is by Capresso. I think it's the "coffee team", but I wouldn't stake my life or profession on that. AFAIK, it's the ONLY grind/brew with a burr grinder, and the price shows it (it hovers between $180-$220, I believe). All of the sub-$100 models, such as the melitta and kitchen aid have whirly-blade grinders, which give a horribly inconsistent grind.
