Does it grind the beans for each cup?

Yes. Superautomaticas are by nature all-in-one. They store and grind beans (adjustable grind) and usually have a milk frother. One of the dangers of these machines is that if one part fails - for example the grinder - the brewer can't move forward to brew the espresso (this happened with my Saeco Vienna Superautomatica). Additionally, please note that my Gaggia Brera did not last more than a year and I just threw another $75 at a repair shop and they could not fix it. My machine is a very expensive albeit useless paper weight.

Hello! Yes this machine grinds for each cup. Ensuring that only fresh ground coffee is going into the brew unit.

It does but the grinds become very inconsistent past a medium grind. There is just too much free movement in the grinding mechanism past medium. Anything smaller is fantastic, use it for my espresso daily.

Yes, it does.......... sure, there will be some "dust" as all coffee that's ground does, but not much. If you're finding course and dust split evenly, then you might be over filling the cup causing the beans at the bottom to grind more finely. Try grinding half as much beans at a time.

Yes, you can tell it how much to grind (it's just a grinder; it doesn't brew). It has settings in increments of 2. I.e.: your options are 2, 4, 6, or 8 cups.

No. It just does one cup at a time. We love it because we have a lot of people who are all particular about their coffee.

You mean "ground" coffee. Yes, the machine uses coffee beans that have been finely ground (preferably in your own coffee grinder. A good coffee grinder.)

Yes. 3 oz. yields 8 cups. This unit grinds 1-14 cups worth of beans at a time.

Yes, it will grind roasted coffee which is dry. I believe it will grind corn to since it to is usually dry.

From my experience with only grinding for one pot of coffee per day, I don't think that the container to hold the ground coffee is large enough to hold a full grind of the beans from the top container. My guess is that you would have to do it in two or three batches and that would take a few minutes.

Yes, it does, it does not hold a large quantity at a time. You would need to grind your flour in batches

Yes it will grind spices. The manual lists these spices in its guidelines: Peppercorns, Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Cloves, Coriander Seeds, Flax Seed. It does not say anything about those being the 'only' kinds of spices to use, so, I think that any kind of spices that are similar in structure to those (or coffee beans) should be fine. As for amounts, it lists "up to 4 tablespoons"; that will give you an idea of the capacity for each grinding.

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.

No. You put in as much water as you need to make the amount of coffee you want. It all heats, pours through the grinds and becomes coffee.

Yes, sort of. It gives you choices of ranges that you can select on the front and how corse or fine you want the coffee ground.

Yes it does but the first coffee is stronger than what the completed brew will be. Let about half the pot drip through before pouring a cup.Maggi

No, it will put through however much water you have in there, regardless of the cup setting. The cup setting is for the grinder only... Mine tends to grind too much (like if I set it to 6 cups on light strength it will grind enough for 10 cups.) SO instead I set it to 4 cups to grind for, and fill the water reservoir to 6 cups... and it brews six cups of coffee, but uses a bit less beans.

Yes it dose, Also each has a plastic cover for storage of the chopped items in the grinding pan.
