Our take
If you want fresh-ground filter coffee without owning a separate grinder, the Breville Grind Control has one built in, plus brew strength control. If you already have a grinder you like, the Breville Luxe Brewer Thermal lacks one but adds SCA certification and a 2 years warranty against 1 year. Both brew 12 cups into a thermal carafe, so they suit batch brewing, not single mugs.
