The Mr. Coffee IDS77 has some nifty features that were new to me. You can select the grind and the number of cups, and there's a timer that shuts off the grinder when it's been long enough to grind the specified number of cups to the type of grind selected. Lucky for me, the default when you plug it in is medium grind and 12 cups, which is perfect for my automatic drip coffee maker (fine grind is for espresso, and coarse for French drip coffee pots). There's also a "max fill" line, and since I usually make a full pot, I just pour beans in to the max fill line instead of having to use measuring scoops and remember how many scoops I've put in.
This coffee grinder has a Chamber Maid (TM) cleaning system, which consists of some vertical bars that slide around the inside of the grinding chamber to scrape ground coffee off the sides. It's a great idea and it works pretty well on the sides, but it still leaves coffee stuck on the bottom.
This grinder also comes apart, so that you can remove the whole grinding chamber from the base, and the cap assembly from the grinding chamber. This is helpful, since it lets you carry just the grinding chamber to pour your ground coffee into the filter for your coffee maker.
It's only slightly quieter than my old coffee grinder, but I like the additional features. The only thing I really don't like is the cord storage. Instead of an indented area to let you wrap the cord around the base, the part you wrap the cord around is recessed within the base. It was hard for me to get the cord out of there to use it, and I was not about to jam it back in there, only to have to get it back out again. So even though there's no indentation for it, I just wrap the cord around the base anyway.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this grinder, especially for such a reasonable price.
