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

Rate my espresso

When a Roasted On date is not included, that raises a red flag to me. If you look at your Quick Start Guide and the Inspiration Guide under Brew Tips, it recommends to only use Freshly Roasted On date beans and to use them after 5 days from roasting to let them off gas CO2, and within 20 days, actua

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Defective Luxe Cafe Premier?

First, you're okay, you'll never blow up the machine, but I know what you mean. I am very surprised that it might be suggesting 8 for an Over Ice drink, my 701 was always in the 20's for n over ice. You say you are only 24oz, the machine can only go up to 18oz, no? You only tamp for 16-18oz setting,
