I mostly do drip coffee (shh, I'm basic), but I'd like a more consistent, fresh brew, and potentially something that could do an espresso grind, as well.

I've seen good things about the Capresso Infinity Plus, but thought I'd ask about the personal preferences from more experienced folks here.

It'd be lovely to have something that can easily fit on the counter, and with a simple mechanism and/or reparability (even if that means looking for old stock of a certain model).

Thanks!

It's a royal pain in the ass to switch between filter and espresso (seriously, don't bother trying), but I love my Eureka Facile. A few simple 3D prints at the local library and I've modded it to be one hell of a single-doser.

And for regular coffee, I've a Timemore Chestnut manual – perfect for my Clever dripper.

+1 for Timemore Chestnut (C3S) - quality build, can go from powder to as coarse as you'd need. It is manual with click-adjustments on the bottom, so I've found it helpful to keep notes of the click numbers. It has no visible number scale, so unless you remember what it's currently set at, you'll have to reset it by tightening all the way, then loosening the # of clicks corresponding to purpose.
