Don't use the recommendation, even Ninja say "... If you wish to follow..." not that you must follow. I would definitely use

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

That's the issue with the Ratio Fault, inconsistent amounts of water being dispensed, but it's important to rule out other issues, for me the most important of these being puck prep. As I said earlier I had two 701's and during my research to make sure the issues I was having weren't me, puck prep c

I had the ES701 until it went faulty. Coming from a nespresso style machine, it was not compatible for me. Though there was lots of fun when you were in the mood to dial in shots and steam milk and make latte art, for me, ultimately it was a PITA in the mornings. I used fresh beans from a local roas

My ES701 Pro US version has been working fine so far. Test with the double shot basket. I would agree to call Ninja support. As a double check for med beans the grind is generally between 8-12 for the double shot basket, but each machine is different. A kitchen scale helps. Double check you are gett

Absolutely, I use one all the time on my Meraki, but a puck screen will not stop channeling, it'll help. One of the selling points of the ES701 was the integrated tamper, after Barista Assist (BA), it is the worst invention known to the coffee machine world. I know, I had two of them. Let me try and

I would go for a Ninja Luxe Cafe. Its 600$, will weigh your grinds and you tamp, will guide you if your shots run too fast or too slow, has automatic milk frothing and in built water dispenser. Its the perfect wife machine. You will have to make some trade offs when you want convenience, thats just
