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. 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. Before pulling your shot run a blank shot through the

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

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

Luxe cafe ES601EU PROMBLEMS
I had the 701 with the integrated tamper and I took Tamping into my own domain and bought a 30lb, 14kg Spring Tamper, so tamp pressure was absolutely consistent, I was still getting a Double Espresso Strength*** anywhere from 20-65g output, so in my case Tamping could not resolve what is a known fau

Would you recommend the Ninja Luxe?
I personally think Shark/Ninja make great products, I have five others, two bought since I had the Ninja Luxe Café Pro's, which the second, a replacement, I returned for a refund. If this sub-reddit has taught me anything in the year since my Luxe Café experience, it's that this machine was brought

Would you recommend the Ninja Luxe?
8 (3 Signature 655 & 5 Pro 701) machines to date....Ninja is about to send me my 9th!

I feel like something is wrong
Here's the thing. Quad shot, why? You get to have one shot a day and you've consumed your entire recommended caffeine intake for an adult. (deCaf excluded) A soppy puck will be fairly common on a basket of this size. When your shot, produced under 9-15 bar of pressure, is finished, that pressure nee

Kaffeemaschine Ninja Erfahrungen?
Hallo, wir haben eine Ninja Luxe Café Pro Kaffeemaschine gekauft, welche eigentlich eine schöne Maschine ist, allerdings haben wir ein Montagsprodukt bekommen. Nach kurzer Zeit war der Milchbehälter defekt (Griff abgebrochen), dann hat der Kompressor bei einem Mahlgrad von unter 19 nicht mehr die Kr
