We had the same situation several years ago and bought a motif coffee maker from Williams Sonoma and separate grinder and have been so happy with the upgrade. One of my biggest complaints with the old cuisinart was that the coffee wasn’t hot enough. The Motif come out nice and hot. We get a monthly delivery of beans from Birch.
I've had my Technovorm Moccamaster since 2009. Seventeen years and no problems. I have a Fellow Ode Gen 2 grinder.
Flora, without spending a fortune, I can't compete at home with any café...... at least I get coffee that tastes of coffee LOL.
