Father's Day Gift Idea

I am looking to get a coffee grinder for my Dad to replace the one that wakes me up at 7am whenever I visit. He uses an old plastic one that the top is broken on and is superglued together.

Does anybody know of any quiet coffee grinders?

Should I go with the funny gift that is very quiet and doesn't use any electric motors (and my Mom will like how it looks):

Or, should I go with the one that would get used more and risk the fact that it still has a motor and would make some noise. (one like this or similar)

Sounds like my dad. He can fix anything with superglue, rubber bands or sticky tape.

Don't know about a quiet grinder .... after all, it's grinding. Maybe invest in some pre-ground coffee that he can keep in the freezer.

ACK!!! No!! Freezing removes the moisture from the coffee and will degarade its quality over time... Coffee should not be stored in the freezer, it should be stored in an airtight container in a cupboard or on the counter... and used within 1 -2 weeks (2 weeks at most...)

Since the present is for him, I'd go with the good coffee maker (how often do you visit, and is it really a problem to get up at 7:00am? Go to the kitchen and keep him company - I'm sure he'd love that as a present..
