Our Cuisinart Grind and Brew lasted 10 years. It's a blade grinder model. I think the heating element is going out because it makes weak luke warm coffee now. I have to put my cup in a microwave to heat it up.Cuisinart Grind and Brew is the better one!!
I love that company, they make quality products that last!!!
I have had Saeco Superautomatics for the past 15 years. They are grind and brew but not traditional 'american' coffee although, you can set up the machines to brew an 'americano'.
They are pressure brew but single serving at a time. (meaning you dont brew a 'pot').
I have absolutely loved mine (on my 3rd unit). First one broke after 10 years. (which I sold on ebay for 150 as parts). This past year, I finally bucked up and got a really nice one with an automatic milk frother carafe. I sold our 7 year old unit on craigs for $400. Long story short, they are expensive, but they are not 'throw away' units. I dont regret at all splurging on the one we have now.
I am not sure if like other types of coffee, cappuccino, espresso...etc, but you cant go wrong with a Saeco.
I bought a grind and brew for my Father-in-law, and the biggest thing you have to watch is the unit does not allow the steam to rise up and moisten the area of the grinder. At the time the capresso was the best and they still use the one I bought almost 10 years ago.
I looked at getting one a while back for when we have company so I dont have to explain to everyone how to use the cappuccino maker . The Breaville looked to be the best.
Here is a good article.

I have tried fancy ones and to be honest...i have gone back to a electric grinder and my ole percolator. I personally think whole bean freshly ground is STILL the best...and since I have switch to black rifle coffee I havent had a better cup...
