Is this high-pitched grinding noise normal on a brand new Ninja Luxe Cafe? (Video attached)
Blows my mind how many posts of broken ninja coffee makers. I love mine, I'm on my second 701, as first frother broke. They could probably fill a graveyard will all these failed devices though. Who is running this department?...

What am I doing wrong?
Hi, I came from a Delonghi Magnifica S Smart Bean to Cup machine to the Ninja Luxe Café Pro so have some experience of the transition. Over the last year I've been developing a Ninja Basics script which might help. It's lengthy, but covers most issue, you might want to just dip into three bits that

Is it usual for the Luxe to get through so much water?
It's not just the Ninja. All machines that use a Thermocoil/Thermoblock water heating system rather than a conventional boiler suffer from this. A Thermocoil is like one of those one cup water heaters, but in the case of the Ninja it flushes cold water over that coil at the end of preparing a shot,

Is it even worth it to get a ES701EU or ES601EU right now ?
I think you have to bare in mind that people who are happy, rarely post. Those that have issues are more vocal. That being said, I've had my 701 since early January and I've not had any issues with it...until last week. The milk steamer isn't steaming properly at the moment and I think it's because

Struggling with bitter/sour shots
Been there, wore that T Shirt. I then did a whole pile of research and found out where I was going wrong, I'll include my findings over that last year below the line. There's a great feature in the Additional Settings menu for Barista Assist (BA), it allows you to turn it off, please, for your sanit

Help
I mean, what you say is not completely wrong, but it’s open for discussion. We (you, me, some other people here) are in the bubble of coffee enthusiasts, while majority of people simply want their daily drug in the morning or sweetened energy booster in the afternoon and they are perfectly happy wit

Newbie questions.
Yes, the grinder will make a chirpy sound when grinding finer, this is to stop the top burr trapping beans and causing a jam as they are being brought closer together, but it's not necessary when gridding coarser. Don't expect to see an immediate change in the cup when you change grind size as there

What makes espresso pull stop
Interesting question. There are issues with the Luxe Café machines called the Ratio Fault, I had two of them before I walked away. At this price range Ninja are not doing anything too clever, it's mostly a water volumetric and time process. You've chosen, say a Double Espresso Strength***, 2:1 Ratio

Rate my espresso
When a Roasted On date is not included, that raises a red flag to me. If you look at your Quick Start Guide and the Inspiration Guide under Brew Tips, it recommends to only use Freshly Roasted On date beans and to use them after 5 days from roasting to let them off gas CO2, and within 20 days, actua

Frustrated
Ouch. Brew temperature is bean roast level specific, not generally a taste thing. Your shot coming out in seconds is your problem as it should take at least 24-32 seconds. This might help Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist (BA) as a guide to get you close to dialed in and once th
