It works great! I place four hand fulls of coffee beans (to the max line) into the top and press the grind button and hold it down for a few seconds and PRESTO, very nicely ground coffee. Then I grind up another four hand fulls, placing the grinds into a plastic container. I do this about once a week.
There are some grounds left at the bottom of the grinder. With the unit unplugged, I just swish my finger around at the bottom and then tap the Mr. Coffee top into my plastic coffee grinds container, and Mr. Coffee is ready for another happy grind experience.
I LOVE it. My wife LOVES it. I don't expect it to download and play MP3s, just to grind coffee for me in a fun, clean way and it does just that. Plus...... it is an attractive coffee grinder. Looks nice on the counter. |
Absolutely SUPERIOR! (and I've owned other grinders)

After going through two different grinder types, I was fearful and hesitant when I purchased this one. I am, however, elated to report that I am absolutely delighted with this product! This purchase came after an earlier purchase of a rather large and expensive burr grinder that wouldn't permit the beans to fall properly so I actually had to hold the huge and clumsy machine tightly in both hands while it ground shaking it and dipping it to get beans to fall and grind. It became a physical and sweaty workout of at least two minutes every time I had to grind. The beans were always coarse, even at the fine setting which was unsuitable since I use a press.
When I bought this Mr. Coffee grinder I was UNCONCERNED about the shorter cord which is delibertly built this way to ensure safety; I plug in to use and unplug when I'm done and there is no long cord tangling or needing to be put away. What DID concern me was fast and fine bean grind. I was amazed that it took under 10 seconds (I don't fill to the top), and I am using way less coffee now to make my pot! The grind is fine and uniform and well suited to both press and expresso.
I no longer have to dread grinding in the morning when I'm still half asleep and the only workout is my finger pressing the start button. I'm also not concerned about the automatic shut off feature either since I'm going to lift my finger when I've decided I'm done (a relatively simple task).
I find that a few little taps get the bottom grinds out so it's not necessary to dismantle and clean (wash) every time you grind, though I do suppose some folks do. Wiping the bottom with a paper towel should be sufficient in between actual washings.
I am in heaven with this efficient and simple to use grinder although the muscles I'd built up from my last one are now receding.....

| The shape was similar to my old Mr. Coffee burr grinder, so at first disappointed it was a blade unit. However, this is well designed and thought out. You have to hold down the top until the timer stops the grinding. Good uniform grind. The bowl unit and top remove for cleaning under water, hooray, no more oily stinky coffee grinder. Note the align marks on the side to easily replace bowl and top. AT first I just spun it around to get it in place, but looking at the color notches makes it easy. Like it. |
Best blade grinder!

| I own this grinder (Mr. Coffee IDS76) for over 1 year and have been using it every day. We have owned many kinds of coffee grinders and mills in the past two decades, even including a hand-cranked unit. After balancing quality of coffee ground and maintenance requirement, we have come back to the grinder side over the coffee mills. This coffee grinder is a good balance, easy to operate, take the guessing out of the grinding, spinning side scraping mechanism to loosen all the coffee ground, washable cup, good-looking design, and durable. Compared to all other units I have owned, this one provides the best value. If you are like me who like to have a freshly ground cup of coffee without much fuss, this grinder is a very good option. |
Very good grinder

| This is very nice. The grind timer feature works (I wasn't sure it would). Self cleaning feature isn't as good as I expected. The bowl and lid remove easily and is handy for transferring coffee. Good price too! |
