What is Grinder built in?

In short

Grinder built in tells you whether a brand's coffee machines grind beans for you.

Grinder built in means the machine carries its own bean grinder, so you go from beans to cup without a separate grinder on the counter. In this group every brand answers yes: 1st In Coffee, AirWin Group, Arno, Beko and Bosch each state grinder built in. A built-in grinder saves worktop space and keeps grind settings inside the machine, but it narrows your choice of beans and burrs, and servicing or replacement parts come from the same brand. Check the machine types too, since a brand with several types may sell both grinder and non-grinder models.
