ES701

10oz, what we call in the UK-EU version, Medium, so you're not tamping, correct. I had two 701's, both suffered what was later identified as the Ratio Fault, yours might have that. Do you make other drink styles, Espresso etc., or are you primarily Classic filter coffee drinkers. The reason why I as

703 might be a country specific number, in the UK-EU and a USA the Pro is a 701. Retention is when the grinder holds grinds from each previous grind cycles caused by static in the grinding process, and many machines being plastic rich they stick to almost every surface. There have been many images o

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

You're welcome. Strength ** on a Double is ≈45g out as it's a ratio of 2.5:1, so Ninja would tell you at 50g it's within a margin of error. However, they also say that Strength ** is Default, only in their world. 70g is closer to the Strength * output of ≈72g, so that's quite a variance. If you're getti

Yes, please see below. It's quite long, so just dip in and out if the sub-headings that suit your needs. Hope it helps. Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist (BA) as a guide to get you close to dialed in and once there ignore it. Before pulling your shot run a blank shot through the

Well, lots to unpick here. This can and should never be compared to a Nespresso. Now that's out of the way, what volume are you getting out? What Strength are you set to, what water temperature are you set to? Below is my Ninja Basics script, just look for the subheadings that you need and dip in an

Ah, okay. The baskets all have magnets in the black collar, which the grinder detects, sometimes grinds can collect where the sensors are and this can cause miss detection. I had it with my 701 and ground a Quad/Luxe size for a Double Basket, what a waste. Sometimes you will need to give the portafi

I had the 701 with the integrated tamper and I took Tamping into my own domain and bought a 30lb, 14kg Spring Tamper, so tamp pressure was absolutely consistent, I was still getting a Double Espresso Strength*** anywhere from 20-65g output, so in my case Tamping could not resolve what is a known fau

Ive just got rid of the ninja luxe cafe pro ES701 it was awful! It was also a present from my wife! So inconsistent from how much water it gave you to how much ground it gave you i had 3 machines in 10 days all with the same faults. I asked ninja how likely i was to have the same issues on the next

Good, because in my experience it's the worst part of these machines. You can only chase normal Espresso logic, too much, grind finer. Here's something to consider. Puck Prep. The issue with the 701 is you can't do good puck prep because of the integrated tamper. I ended up taking it off machine, an
