I would avoid the grind and brew combos because there are a lot of
mechanical parts that can fail. Better to keep the processes separate.

Hi Serena,

	I hate coffeemakers that have you pour through the slots; never
could do it without making a bit of a mess.  Wish I had thought of the
funnel then.
	I have a Keurig now; when it dies, I am considering a coffee
maker that grinds the beans before brewing.
	Wow; lots of coffee drinkers, eh?

Mine is a Hamilton Beach that I recently got for Christmas.  It has a
pot on one side and a single serve component on the other.  The filter
baskets come out easily and the button to start the brewing process is a
round button that's easy to find.  I'm sure there are other features to
it that I haven't figured out yet but so far it meets my needs.  
Also, Tracy's right, it does take a bit of prep work to make coffee and
a bit to clean up.  With my old coffee maker I used to use a funnel to
pour the water in to it because I kept pouring water on to to the
counter.  If the issue is that you haven't done it a lot all I can say
to do is practice and keep practicing.  I'm totally blind also and it
took me years before I could make a decent cup of coffee.  My dad is
sighted and has been making coffee for years and still makes a huge
mess.  
If there's a touch screen involved maybe there's a way to mark it with
puffy paint or Braille markings.  Good luck and happy coffee drinking.
:) Serena
