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

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

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.

First, stop following Barista Assist, the very worst part of these machines. Ninja should have told you it's only a recommendation, their own manual terms you this. It is not Grind Size Almighty, you'll not go to the big fire if you ignore it and you just might get your machine to work for you. Over

Good on the not tamping. Some get this wrong on the 701. Barista Assist is the very worst part of these machines, even Ninja don't rate it, it's in their manual. I had two early 701's a year ago and both suffered what had now been identified as the Ratio Fault, Double Espresso Strength*** anywhere f

No. The portafilter has absolutely no bearing on the function of a grinder, they are separate things. However, the Ninja's Grinder has a grind chirp, micro grind, when you turn the grind dial finer to protect the burrs from getting beans stuck. You'll notice is doesn't do it on the way up the grind
