A built-in grinder is convenient, not the last word in grinding. These two are the machines we recommend if you want that convenience. Oracle, Touch, and Express Impress are not on this shortlist.

How to choose

Choose the Express if $700 is the budget. Choose the Pro if you want faster heat-up and a screen, and you can spend $849.95.

If you would rather pick the grinder yourself, buy the Bambino, the Gaggia Classic Pro E24, or the Dual Boiler and pair it with a dedicated grinder from our grinder guide.
