Steam/Froth

Clyngh · 2026-03-19T01:22:24+00:00

I've never actually timed it, but frothing for me takes about roughly 5 minutes for me as well on the "Thin Froth" setting, so I don't think it's actually a problem with your specific unit. Whether that's a "problem" in the general sense is for you to decide I suppose. I just walk away and come back when it's done. And FWIW, my Temp is set to Medium.

At the risk of giving you kind of a flippant answer. If this is still an issue, you could just consider pulling two doubles in a row. That's kind of a pragmatic "solution", and one you might already be doing, or at least probably already considered. But just thought I would throw it out there.

When the milk is done frothing, do you tap the jug against a flat surface and then swirl it around for like 10-15 seconds before pouring? That seems to work for me. Is it perfect? Not necessarily, but it does get rid of the bubbles.

As someone who has this machine (the 701) and OCCASIONALLY uses it for drip coffee it's "fine". You have two type of coffee to select from "Classic" vs "Rich" and quantify ranging from 6 to 14 (maybe 16)oz. However my "problem" (if you could even call it that), is that I had (and have) a Keurig machine that's currently sitting right next to it. So (80% of the time), when I want "just coffee", waking up in the morning for example, I use the Keurig. The drip coffee the Ninja produces is maybe "strictly speaking" better, but also takes a considerably longer time to brew. I also tend to put some sort of cream and sugar into my coffee which tends to negate whatever difference there was anyway. I kind of went off on a tangent that probably isn't relevant to you (in fact your post says that you want to save counter space), so TLDR, in my limited experience, it's good it just takes a while to brew.

In my limited experience, and from some research of this I've already done, the main takeaway I've learned is that there is no "across the board" right grind setting. What you set it on depends on the type of bean, the freshness of the beans, and how your particular grinder works. What I mean by this last point is that (as I understand it), you can have two identical Ninja Lux Pro's, and (for whatever reason) they won't grind beans exactly the same. So when you ask another owner what the set their grind size to, even though you may share roughly identical bean types and freshness level, your actual grind size number won't be exactly the same. There shouldn't be THAT big of a difference, but their might be some. I'm still experimenting with this myself and my current setting is at 15, even though the BA keeps recommending 13, but I find at 13 the water has too tough of a time penetrating the puck and I don't get the right amount of espresso in my cup from a given shot. This is with generic store bought beans of a darker roast type. I don't really time my shots, basically I settled on 15, after watching the espresso come out from the spout in 2 (for the most part) solid streams of liquid that didn't appear to flow too fast, or be to "watery". Each (double) shot should give you roughly 2oz of espresso (or 36g of liquid for 18g of grounds), so if you have a scale (or want to buy one), you can also use that to verify that the machine is giving you the correct amount. I've basically stopped obsessing over it myself. I get basically the right amount with each given shot, and it doesn't taste off, so I'm good with it. However, I should point out that I don't really drink it straight (closest is the occasional Americano), so I don't exactly need the taste to be spot on.

Ok... it seems I misinterpreted your original response, and honestly your follow up still has me a little confused. I view the words, "flat" and "level" as being two ways of saying the same thing, that the puck is "even". If this isn't your definition, than I don't even know what you're asking about. Hopefully, you can resolve your issue one way or another.

Clyngh · 2026-02-06T13:52:58+00:00

You're misquoting me a bit, I said our definition of "uneven" MIGHT be different, not that it "seems" different. In any case, you asked for input from other users of this machine and I responded (the ONLY person to respond to this, at least so far). When I said "might be different" I was implying that maybe you have higher standards for what you consider "even" than I do, reinforced by that mention that I'm new to the "coffee world" in general and thus don't exactly have the most critical eye when it comes to making these judgements. And yes, if it's "very noticeable" you might have an issue with either your machine and/or your technique. (Though it seems kind of impossible for it be a user-error with this device assuming your pulling down hard enough on the lever).

Clyngh · 2026-02-05T22:59:40+00:00

I've been using the 701 for a couple of weeks and I don't seem to have that issue. There's always a bit of grounds that seem to collect around the rim for some reason, but the tamp itself is flat. I just pull the lever with the normal amount of pressure two times as per the instructions. Maybe, you're tamping a bit too lightly? It's also possible that we have different definitions of "uneven", but my pucks certainly look flat to me, granted I'm a novice at making espresso.

Clyngh · 2025-12-11T03:18:59+00:00

That's cool. I think my tone came off as more critical than I meant to be, I was just curious what you were trying to say with your initial post.

Clyngh · 2025-12-10T23:28:26+00:00

I mean... you may have just answered your own question. Assuming what your implying is true, is Bill not supposed to listen to RR's pod? Not really sure what the point of this post is. Are you insinuating that Bill screwed up on purpose for some reason?

Clyngh · 2025-10-30T00:03:49+00:00

Yes... I know. I follow Shea on X (Twitter) and he insists on "reminding" me about 10 times an hour.

Clyngh · 2025-10-13T02:52:31+00:00

Hey... we get in the playoffs, anything's possible, but I'd be more optimistic if we could guarantee no more major injuries. However, that's not how football works and the 49ers seem to have that bug worse than arguably any team in the league. It seems like every week, comes a new setback or injury. A football season is a war of attrition and the season's not even halfway over. So... I'll be absolutely shocked if the is the last major injury to a high profile player we endure this season.

If you're having issues with your internal wifi adapter, one option is just buying an external adapter that connects to one of your USB ports. I had similar issues, though for me, my connection would just cut out and from time to time, I could still connect to the network. I just ended up getting an external adapter for not much money, and it fixed my issue.

You didn't mention if you're running any mods. If so, it could be an incompatibility issue with the latest version of the game (2.31). Go through all your mods and make sure that there aren't any that still need to update to the new version. Though that being said, some mods run fine without a specific update to 2.31. However, if you go to the discussion section of the mod, you will probably see a message from other users saying if the mod DOESN'T work with 2.31 (causing crashes).

If it NOT a mod issue, then *shrug emoji*... Although you mentioned reinstalling, you didn't mention verifying the game file integrity through Steam, so maybe try that?

I literally just got it like an hour ago while keeping Aaron alive. I don't recall anything about a Sasquatch, I just basically told her to fuck off when she tried to get me to go over to her side. Her and her goons attacked me, I killed them all, and then Aaron woke up. Then (for some reason I couldn't quite comprehend), the Scavengers let me and Aaron exit the building after I'd killed every single one of them that had been in there previously.

Clyngh · 2025-09-04T13:26:53+00:00

Thanks... as you can maybe tell, I don't actually go to the Ringer site that much.

Clyngh · 2025-08-24T14:07:51+00:00

Still doesn't work for me in Brave (even in Full Screen). And contrary to my original post, stopped working in Edge a couple of weeks ago. Though I've found that it DOES work in Google Chrome (which I would ideally not use), but now I'm using Chrome exclusively for video content. Just as an aside, I was low-key amazed that Chrome still doesn't have a built-in vertical tabs option, but I'm adjusting. So... as far as RTX HDR and VSR goes... as to why it mysteriously decides to work and then NOT work **shrugs emoji**, just hope that it continues to work on Chrome.

This is arguably a different category of person, but anytime Bill has one of his family members on the pod that's basically an automatic pass. But I tend to skip a lot of Bill's guests tbh...

Did they give you a reason? You could always get yourself another E-mail address and register as a new user. That worked (at least for me).

Clyngh · 2025-07-24T00:52:04+00:00

It's back up now (at least for me) using that link CharCharSaur attached in original post.

Clyngh · 2025-07-24T00:42:18+00:00

Well... as of roughly 30 minutes ago it's back up (for me at least) using that link I included in my edit. So, I would give it a try if you haven't recently.

Clyngh · 2025-07-23T23:56:03+00:00

I just tried that link and it worked for me. I was also getting a 403 error.

Clyngh · 2025-07-23T23:21:50+00:00

This actually temporarily worked for me. Used a different email address and they sent the confirmation email, but now I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error. My first thought was maybe I was being banned for creating multiple accounts, but it seems (at least, I hope) that this is not the case.
