ES701

Blows my mind how many posts of broken ninja coffee makers. I love mine, I'm on my second 701, as first frother broke. They could probably fill a graveyard will all these failed devices though. Who is running this department?...

Interesting question. There are issues with the Luxe Café machines called the Ratio Fault, I had two of them before I walked away. At this price range Ninja are not doing anything too clever, it's mostly a water volumetric and time process. You've chosen, say a Double Espresso Strength***, 2:1 Ratio

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

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

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.

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

I have a theory on the 5* reviews, but it's only that. I think it depends on what you are coming from. If your currently a classic coffee drinker, drip type, cafeteria/French Press using shop bought pre ground coffee, or a Pod machine and dare I say Instant, and have traded up to the Ninja you'll gi

You should absolutely ignore BA...... always, not just on single basket shots. The very worst part of these machines. I understand the concept, for those who are new to Espresso, but a dreadful implementation on the Ninja. Dial in purely from shot time and Grind Size. You say you are using Strength*

The time from pressing Start Brew button to the vibratory pump starting is not consistent, across the same model or indeed across all variants. My 701, (May last year) was 3-5 seconds, but I've read on here often that the time can be upto 15 even 20 seconds, during which time you'll here a kettling
