the problem I have with the built in grinders, is a few fold. For one, it's like those TV/VCR/DVD combo's....one or the other always breaks first. Second, and more important, is cleaning of the grinder, and if you like to grind different beans, say heavily flavored one day, then the next day...not so heavily flavored....I can taste the difference if the grinder either was not cleaned well. Ideally 2 grinders are almost "necessary" for me. (albeit, I admit, at the time, I had my coffee ground for me wherever I purchase,usually at whole foods, but even then, I can "taste" the difference)
