We've been enjoying a Cuisinart grind-and-brew coffee maker for over a decade. Load it up with beans and water the night before, clean the metal mesh filter, and stick the pot in position. Hit the start button or use its built-in timer when ready, and about five minutes later it beeps to say that coffee is ready. Fair warning: the grinder is loud and spins up to quite the RPM as it progresses through the grind process - the first few times you'll jump, especially if it's on the self-timer.
Can't say it's easy on the "utility budget", but it makes a nice cup of coffee and is done in five minutes.
My sister has one of those that starts up on a timer. When the grinder starts, it sounds like a turbine engine lighting off! The first time it happened, I rolled out of bed, hit the floor, and was definitely wide awake in about 10 seconds! Probably looking a little wild eyed as well. Just proves that a good cup of caffeine, I mean coffee will wake you right up!
