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

This machine is awesome. Ninja Lux Cafe.
Ngl, I have had a Ninja Luxe cafe for just about six months now. The wife and I use it as a daily driver for almond milk lattes. The foam isn’t the greatest, but we’re not latte artists and don’t claim to be. It’s absolute heaven, we both love it. Just got done with my cup of joe.

Grind size always changing
Kind of. I've got the 701 Pro, waited for it when I found it was even a concept last year. I only use fresh beams, first lot, 17, 19, 17, 19, 18, 19, 17, it's like the thing can't make up its mind. Next batch 13, 15, 13, 15, 13, 15. This guy is a barista, he's also the roaster I buy my beans from, h

Too much output: grind size vs stopping output flow
I think I checked that scale but it was too big, so I ended up with Maestri House Rechargeable Espresso Scale which fits perfectly. So my question: why keep grinding finer rather than just stopping the output when it hits 36g? That's what I do. I am doing ristretto with 1:1 ratio, so I would stop it

Is the luxe pro awful or am I just unlucky?
Ouch! Don't worry about the grind size hit matching your old one, they are set up by hand in the factory, some shimmed, some not. What intrigued me is the fact you're still using Barista Assist. Go into the Additional Settings menu and turn it off, the very worst part of these machines. Dial In from

Looking to buy my daughter a birthday gift [$700 to $800]!
Bambino Plus is a great machine, it will do what an espresso machine is "supposed" to do. 9 bar extraction, 92-93 degree brew temp, opv, three way solenoid valve along with auto milk frothing. In terms of pure espresso, Bambino Plus by a country mile. What the Ninja will do "better" is the versatili

Finally got perfect shot - Pro
I’ll make adjustments to the temperature. Then I’ll use the manual tamper from ES655 just to see if I have to adjust the tamping pressure. Probably try to brew from both machines to see if both consistent. If I got a perfect shot from ES655 but not ES701 with the same prep ,I know I have issue with

Show me your Latte Art
Today, ES701, Lungo and 150ml 3.7% coo juice. Just Googled your beans, never heard of them, they look like an off the shelf product, could be wrong. Ninja only recommend Roasted On fresh roasted beans with a Roasted On date rather than a best before or use by date. I used to have a Delonghi Magnific

Costco beans
No, there is no beans sold at Costco, or any other wholesalers that comply with Ninja's recommendations for coffee beans for their, or indeed, any bean to cup coffee machine. ES701 Quick Start Guide Page 11, Best Bean Practice, "For best results, use freshly roasted coffee beans." There is a very go
