I assume you mean add spice...yes...adding spice to the coffee, like ground cinnamon is easy enough and will not interfere with the pressing of the coffee. Just be sure to allow the coffee, with or without spice added, to steep according to the directions. Also be sure to clean the press well after each use. Enjoy!

Yes, but as I understand there are pods you can fill with other coffee if interested (I use lavazza)

Yes..you certainly could! It might be a bit tricky like you'll have to cut the cinnamon sticks in pieces first THEN grind it, same as the cloves. The teeth of this grinder is extremely sharp so i warn anyone using this grinder on not throwing caution to the wind..it could cut you without you even knowing it so be very careful using this. Other than that it's a superb and finely made grinder. I have used mine for many things including herbs like thyme and rosemary, whole peppercorns and big seeds. A highly recommended product and you cannot possibly go wrong getting this for yourself for it comes in handy. I hope I answered your question. :) Yes..you certainly could!

Have not tried spices! Did read a review that it could be done. It utilizes a spinning blade. I used it to grind coffee and I can make it like powder if run twice on ESPRESSO setting. Of all the home size style Grinders I have reviewed I was sold on the over all sturdy construction, size/grid settings, and auto push button and manual stop this one has. Also that the grinding compartment with lid could just be lifted out away from the drive unit and cleaned even in a dishwasher. I am also able to, after grinding, remove cover/lid and lift grinding compartment out replace lid on compartment and turn upside down and dump coffee into the lid for holding and on the back of the grinder drive unit they gave you a cleaning brush with it's own storage to sweep out any remaining coffee still in grinding container. Glad I found this grinder and took time to research them all before deciding on this one. I paid $20 plus and now $19.00!!! If I had to choose all over again? I would still get this one!

Yes. This tastes like coffee. I don't like starbucks via. I've tried 3 of their varieties and think all of them taste like licking an ashtray.

I have not used the grinder for spices, just coffee. I wouldn't want to mix any coffee flavor with my spices.

I have not had the Hot Cinnamon Sunset tea but the Hot Cinnamon Spice has a very rich cinnamon flavor that develops with steeping. There are also hints of orange and clove and a slight sweetness. It is best when served as hot as you can drink it. Don't think it wold make a good iced tea.

Absolutely. I even have a resource for a great recipe: This is from SAVEUR magazine: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cinnamon-Hard-Candies

I've never done it but I do not think it would do any harm, the thought of cinnamon in there is refreshing, will try it and give you an update. Stay tuned.......

Absolutley not. If I did I'd hate it. I was first given this coffee by my exchange student from Italy and now purchase it myself. Its amazing coffe, but not flavored at all.

Eat it in one bite until you are comfortable with the liquid center. I'veVe never tried it in coffee

Never tried to roast spices in my roaster or peanuts either. It is my understanding that the Gene Café should only be used for coffee beans. Probably for the vary reason you mentioned in your question. Good luck if you try, let us know if it works.

Yes, however I make it in a French press. This coffee is bold so you might have to try out a couple of times in a regular coffee maker before knowing how much to use.depending on your taste.

I haven't ground up cinnamon sticks, this would be a bit tricky, but I have used my Space Case for cloves, star anise, schwag, even peppercorns which makes a nice large particle course grind. You'll have to keep turning the harder herbs more until you reach the right consistency. Don't even think about grinding coffee beans. It just doesn't work! Make sure to thoroughly clean after you grind each spice.

No. The flavor leans to chocolate, coffee and sweeter tones. Probably the IPA kit will be closer to what you want.
