Got a Nespresso two weeks ago to cut down on my coffee spending — now I’m having 2-4 pods a day, so I’m not sure if it’s working out the way I intended

I got a ninja luxe cafe a year and a half ago. It came with everything for £600 and a 5 year warranty. It’s like the nespresso of espresso machines. It makes fantastic coffees/espresso. And I’m saving so much more over those stupid pods. Everyone I’ve made a drink for is blown away by the quality.

This machine is awesome. Ninja Lux Cafe.

Ngl, I have had a Ninja Luxe cafe for just about six months now. The wife and I use it as a daily driver for almond milk lattes. The foam isn’t the greatest, but we’re not latte artists and don’t claim to be. It’s absolute heaven, we both love it. Just got done with my cup of joe.

Pro or Luxe?

They are all called Ninja Luxe Café, then there is the:- ES501 Essential ES601/ES655 Premiere/Costco variant ES701 Pro I had two Pro's. If I was to buy one again, which I won't, I'd go for the ES601/ES655 as the Integrated tamper on the Pro is just one of its Achilles heel's. Through many months of

Grind size always changing

Kind of. I've got the 701 Pro, waited for it when I found it was even a concept last year. I only use fresh beams, first lot, 17, 19, 17, 19, 18, 19, 17, it's like the thing can't make up its mind. Next batch 13, 15, 13, 15, 13, 15. This guy is a barista, he's also the roaster I buy my beans from, h

Looking to buy my daughter a birthday gift [$700 to $800]!

Bambino Plus is a great machine, it will do what an espresso machine is "supposed" to do. 9 bar extraction, 92-93 degree brew temp, opv, three way solenoid valve along with auto milk frothing. In terms of pure espresso, Bambino Plus by a country mile. What the Ninja will do "better" is the versatili

Morning Routine Question

We just replaced our Nespresso Vertuo with a Ninja ES701. It’s a massive step up in terms of quality of both coffee and milk. My wife is less technically minded than me but has made the switch with no problem. We changed because the Nespresso coffee was in my view just coffee flavoured water, the Ni

Finally got perfect shot - Pro

I’ll make adjustments to the temperature. Then I’ll use the manual tamper from ES655 just to see if I have to adjust the tamping pressure. Probably try to brew from both machines to see if both consistent. If I got a perfect shot from ES655 but not ES701 with the same prep ,I know I have issue with

Show me your Latte Art

Today, ES701, Lungo and 150ml 3.7% coo juice. Just Googled your beans, never heard of them, they look like an off the shelf product, could be wrong. Ninja only recommend Roasted On fresh roasted beans with a Roasted On date rather than a best before or use by date. I used to have a Delonghi Magnific

Beans!?!

u/jgarcia3507 we have a Coffee Guy in the UK, Kev, who makes a big deal about 'Beans' and how beans with a 'use by' date rather than a 'roasted on' date in machines like this are not a good idea. He has done some great unboxing and usage videos for the 601 and may other machines. https://coffeeblog.
