On the left is the Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinder. Burr grinding is supposedly slower and doesn't destroy the subtle flavors of the coffee bean. On the right is the Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker. Reviews on Amazon stated that this maker brewed at the perfect temperature (about 200 degrees). The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for at least 4 hours and warm for 6-8 hours. I think that thermal carafes are the way to go, warming plates just destroy the coffee flavors. I really wanted to buy a two-in-one grinder/brewer like this one, but I'm always wary of two-in-one appliances. If one of the components breaks, you're often left with a clunky version of the remaining working component, if it works independently at all. I'm an old TV/VCR combo owner and the VCR stopped working leaving me with a very noisy television. The VCR gears would engage/disengage at random times. To sum up, so far these items make me a great deal of fantastic coffee.
