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

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

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.

Too much output: grind size vs stopping output flow
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.

Single basket issues
Yes, here it is. 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.

Grind size help
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

Does the extraction look good? Is this how its supposed to come out. New to home coffee scene
Yes. It's a script in parts, just dip in and out of the sub-headings that suit your needs. It's not exhaustive, there are nuances that you'll find over time, but it's the basics to get you going. I hope you find it useful. Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist (BA) as a guide to get

Love my ES601
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

Ninja 601 never good espresso quality
I don't know the coffee's of which you speak, but is it possible you're water is too hot, a chocolate taste often comes from darker Roast's which requires water temperature set to Lo. Here's my usual Ninja Basics. Hope you find something useful. Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist
