I am looking for the correct translation for this type of coffee maker that first grinds the beans and then brews the coffee.

Thanks for your help!

super automatic

I agree with all of the earlier suggestions, and think Nicole's suggestion of "grind & brew" does the best job of communicating what these machines do. "Fully automatic" seems pretty self-explanatory, and is also correct.

My suggestion is merely to fill our the range of what appear to be a number of possible translations.

(see image of product at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Saeco-S-OG-SG-Super-Automatic-Espresso...
Example sentence:

Espresso machines fall into three basic categories: Super Automatic, Semi Automatic and Manual. But how do you know which one's right for you?

Super Automatic Espresso machines are complete coffee centers that perform the entire espresso making process from grinding the beans to extracting espresso and frothing milk.
