Café is known for its premium coffee and some of the best espresso machines – and each one is more gasp-worthy than its predecessor. That’s definitely the case with the new Café Specialty Grind and Brew Coffee Maker. A few years ago, I thought the Café Specialty Drip Coffee Maker (in the matte black finish) was the sleekest coffee maker that I’d ever tested, and it was also loaded with features. However, the Café Specialty Grind and Brew Coffee Maker is even more of a stunner and has even more features.
For starters, it has a built-in grinder – and that alone is a game-changer. Fresher coffee always results in better-tasting coffee, and the ability to pour coffee beans in a hopper and grind them on demand is a feature I don’t take lightly. The grinder also has 6 grind sizes, so I can select the right grind for the right beans. However, when I want to brew pre-ground coffee, it’s as simple as pressing the Grind Off button.
