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

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

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

Always overbrews!
It's lengthy, do just find the sub-headings that suit your needs, dip in and out as needed, any other questions just ask. I have to do it in two parts, so the second part will be an answer to this section.*** Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist (BA) as a guide to get you close to

Is it normal for Grind Setting recommend at 2?
Factory reset won't sort this. However, your bean selection might. Ninja in their Quick Start Guide and the Inspiration Guide under Brew Tips only recommend Freshly Roasted On date beans and not Best Before Date beans. It's how all Espresso machines are set up. You are using a Medium roast, which re

Bought my other half a luxe cafe pro, where is the best place to get beans from? I’m clueless when it comes to coffee
Hi Tom, Yes, this is a dip in and out document, just find the sub headings that suit your needs and maybe keep the rest for a night when your struggling to sleep, and it'll send you right of to the land of nod.

Machine smoking
I've learned a lot about these machines, had two, and unlike you I couldn't love it. Don't get me wrong, in wanted to, I have four other Shark Ninja products, all great in their own way, but I had an early 701 Pro and it was utterly inconsistent, now known as the Ratio Fault, so the fact you have a
