Does it automatically dispense the proper amount of beans or must they be measured each time?

You adjust the amount of beans by the setting of cups. I always tend to put in a little extra pre-ground just to make the coffee a bit stronger. If you do buy one of these, be sure to clean the part underneath the bean holder so it doesn't clog up. You really should do it once a week so it works at it's optimum. Hope this helps.

depending on the number of cups you select the proper amount of beans will be ground each time ... there is no measuring , just keep the hopper full

It automatically grinds the amount needed to make whatever selection (# of cups) you have chosen on the selector switch. Since I have started using this coffeemaker, my bean consumption has reduced significantly since I dont over measure.

once a week you can clean and fill the hopper with beans depends on usage. when you select, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 cups on the dial, it automatically dispenses the correct amount of coffee through the grinder.

Beans are automatically dispensed. I have mine set for medium and 3 1/2 cups with 4 cups water. You adjust all settings to your taste.

With the bean hopper full, the coffee maker grinds only enough beans to make the coffee according to your settings. It does use ALL the water you put into it, so measure your water before you pour it in. I have found that the settings make a difference in the way the coffee tastes with a cup, the carafe does not have the variety of settings, we measure the beans too for the carafe.

This is easy setting...u don't need manual...basically just use the measure cup to get the soy beans or other beans,then choose one of the three modes,done....

You must have 2 cups of water or more. It uses all the water you put in it and does measure the water

It is really trial and error. I add less than 1 cup of beans and turn the timer to about 8. It will stop grinding when the beans are gone and if you need more time you simply add a few more seconds.

I don't use the default settings, but rather use times recommended in instruction booklet. When I've encountered undercooked product, I just add a few more minutes manually. I've noticed differences in degree cooked, tho using same type of bean, from one product name to the other; also notice differences with changes of ambient temp & humidity. Be sure you're using amount of water recommended in the instruction booklet, and don't forget to add the oil... Hope this helps.

It is automatic. If you want less, save the residue to reheat. If you want more you would have to make two servings. There is no way to stop the procedure mid-way that I know of. I have three of these machines and two models have an option to add more water.

You can choose 2,4,6,8, or 10 cups, add the water necessary for each, and it automatically grinds enough beans. Oh yes you can also choose three different strengths of brew, we like the strongest.

I had similar issue when I first got my machine. Adjust the grind to finer, adjust the water volume. However, I also found the strength to be inconsistent which appears to be oily beans not sliding freeling through the hopper. I regularly push the beans toward the end of hopper to get better consistency. I also use the bypass quite often, which is much more consistent. This also gives me the ability to change beans cup by cup, but defeats the purpose of a fully automatic coffee maker.

Sorry, I can only tell you the unit does well with all coffee beans I have used. This is my 2nd as I wore my first out after 4 years.

Just guess--lol! If the beans finish grinding before the timer runs out, just turn the canister counterclockwise until it stops. If there are still beans left when the timer stops, turn the timer again. You'll get a feel after awhile for how long it takes to grind the amount of beans you usually use. Hope this helps!

@evgeneia: No, there are no measurement lines inside the pot. Even if there were, it would not be accurate anyway because your ground coffee is going to displace an unknown amount of water.

No, not automatically. After the water is dumped, you have to re-position the bucket, and turn a lever to re-fill the bucket. It's very simple, and it allows you to vary the amount of water in the bucket.

The machine comes with a measuring cup for the beans. When the cup is full of dry beans, it weighs 2.3 oz. This makes about four cups (you can convert to liters). The machine itself has a mark for filling water. It is unbelievably simple.

It is supposed to auto-feed. There is a release button on the side of the string canister if it does not.

There is no need to change it, it's normal. It gets tested at the factory with actual beans. Mine arrived like yours.

You have to hold the dispense button down. It can't sense how big your cup is!
