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

Help with shot adjustment
Shot too fast, grind finer, too slow, grind coarser. Remember, a change in grind size takes two times three shots before it fully appears in the cup due to grinder retention. Don't use the recommendation, even Ninja say "... If you wish to follow..." not that you must follow. I would definitely use

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.

Pro or Luxe?
They are all called Ninja Luxe Café, then there is the:- ES501 Essential ES601/ES655 Premiere/Costco variant ES701 Pro I had two Pro's. If I was to buy one again, which I won't, I'd go for the ES601/ES655 as the Integrated tamper on the Pro is just one of its Achilles heel's. Through many months of

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

Output color mostly black
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.

Ratio not correct on the luxe pro.
No. Well that answers your question. Can I make a recommendation, the next time you go into the Additional Settings menu and reach for _h04, can I suggest stopping at _h03 and turn it off. Barista Assist is by far the worst thing in the Ninja Luxe Café machines. If you look at the image below, even Ni

Defective Luxe Cafe Premier?
In the words of Jim Lovel on Apollo 13, "Houston we have a problem." Little advertised fact, the grinders in these machines, in fact most integrated grinders machines can't handle Light Roasted beans, they are too dense, and if they are grown at high altitude they are even more dense. I walked away
