Is this a whole unit which has to be lifted to remove what has been ground &amp; is that a spout I see in the image?

There are only 2 parts. The base, which is where you put the beans. And the plastic top which includes the silver piece that looks like a spout... you press down on that to activate the cutting blade. But there is no separate container for removing the ground coffee. You have to scoop it out.

The tank lifts off the base. The tank does not disassemble. I have had no problems with any residue forming inside tank or base. I only use distilled water. Other units I have experienced the "slime" you speak of but not with this unit. No filter, no residue, and trouble free operating makes this unit perfect for me.

Top clear section lifts off and you refill and then take it back to the base and set it on it. Best not to move the base and the top together with any water in it. Good little unit. We have used it for a year.

It is a single tube spout without the air passage. There is a separate air vent at the rear of the can for venting.

I can't say for certain since it has been several months since I installed the spout. I know if the majority was plastic parts I would have returned it. I am pleased with the quality for the price as I did return a cheaply made spout ( a different brand).

there is a shut off on the end of the main spout. I would not buy this product, however, as its quality control in the assembly is not good.

Yes, there is a threaded connection between the sprinkling head and the spout, so it can be removed.

The top part is a teapot. It lifts out of the cup below it. So they are separate components. Teapot+cup

It has a built in handle. Some photos show a screw on discharge spigot but the one I received did not include it. No problems emptying it though.

No, you will need a freon recovery unit to completely remove freon from a system.

There's a hole in the cup part for draining, right where the spout is. You can see it on the second picture at the top of the page.

It would not be easy to remove. It can tightened by its fins to fit spout. It's snug and secure.

Separating it from what? The base? It should just lift right off. It can be pretty heavy if it's full of water. Otherwise, maybe it's suctioned on to the base, so if you hold the base down and pull the 'blue bulb thing' up it should come off. Mine doesn't screw together so I'm not sure what they other user is referring to.

Yes, the whole spout head comes off so you can clean debris out of the can and the spout.

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

You press in two tabs on either side of the spout and the top half of the black plastic section lifts open, I then pull up the draw tube which has a top plastic section almost the size of a golf ball and lift it up. I rarely fully extract the tube. I just pour my coffee in, drop the tube assembly back down and close the top. I use it every day. It is a great value in my opinion. This is my second unit in over 10 years of constant use.

It is supposed to be removable, but our's actually is not! It appears that it was dunked into the liquid zinc (to galvanize it against rust) with the rosette attatched, so the rosette is bonded to the spout. Although we have been tempted to try to force it to unscrew, we don't want to damage it. It is made in Mexico, which may explain this idiocy. We have had many watering cans over the years and never, ever experienced anything like this. we have not tried to contact the manufacturer, in Minnesota, but perhaps your question will motivate us to do so now.
