20g for double shot espresso - is this normal?
Okay, two things, Ninja only recommend Freshly Roasted On date beans. Think of it this way, what the hell did Sam do to get 18 months out of his beans. These things are often lower quality, industrially processed in tonnes to get consistency, but they are stale by the time we get them. Second, Ninja

Always overbrews!
It's lengthy, do just find the sub-headings that suit your needs, dip in and out as needed, any other questions just ask. I have to do it in two parts, so the second part will be an answer to this section.*** Ninja's basics For your sanity only use Barista Assist (BA) as a guide to get you close to

Lavazza Qualità Oro for Hot & Cold Latte.
I have a brother who has lived in the UK for over 50 years, not outback, but you do have quite a robust mail service, yes. Freshly roasted beans can be bought in bulk and put them in your freezer, take out only what you're going to use for a few days or a week at most. Let them come back to room tem

What beans do you use?
Reddit don't like the length of it, so I'll put some as an answer to this. It's got various sub-headings, just dip in and out of the ones that suit your needs. Hope it helps.

Extracting too much.
Much more data needed. Did it ever give the right dose or for six months it's always over dosed? Which Luxe Café, 601/655 or 701? Do you rigidly follow Barista Assist (BA) recommend grind size? Double Strength*** yes? Water Temperature, have you ever changed it? Beans, what is the roast level, as wa

Inconsistent amount of espresso
It might be in reverse—your gf getting too much of an espresso. See my post https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaLuxeCafe/comments/1rwnpoz/first_shot_in_a_day_comes_out_too_high_volume/ There is a problem with these machines that you get first shot in a day way out of ratio. In my case on Strength 3 (1:2 ratio) my

Possible ratio issue :( Need advice on diagnosing / isolating
I don’t think this is fault, just badly/cheaply engineered machine which can’t deliver such feature consistently. There is no output scale built in with Ninja, and the rate of water flow at grouphead is hugely estimated and not really measured, combined with vibration pump which is also not super pr

"Brewing was too fast, consider decreasing your grind size." Warning [Breville Barista Touch Impress]
Yes No Yes I think the first is obvious, you have a message on the screen, so unless you are writing it, it must be the machine that decides, surly. Sorry for being flippant, but there is no other way than for the machine to be doing it. None of these machines that offer a Barista Assist (BA) are re
