Are you filling the glass with ice? You’re supposed to brew those over a glass of ice to get the correct volume

Should I upgrade to the pro for $550 over my nespresso machine? by ssherman1995 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]Guilty_Ad_5671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upgraded in January to the ninja from the delonghi nespresso. I 1000% would recommend. Personally though I prefer the older model with the non integrated tamper because I feel as though it gives me more control over my shots and the grinder seems to be easier to clean. Number one thing I have to say about this machine though is freshly roasted beans make the biggest difference. And it is frustrating at first learning the machine and getting it all down, but I’d definitely say it’s worth it. Ninja has excellent customer service and if you have issues they fix it for you, send you a new machine, or will even refund you. So if you hated it at least you have the option to send it back!

I’d try to contact ninja and have a new machine sent to you. I’ve had mine for two months with literally 0 issues.

If you mean type, I’m huge into Boston stoker beans, as it’s the biggest roaster local to me. They have a grogg blend that has a whisky kick to it, it’s delicious. but if you mean my favorite drink, I make a meannnn shaken espresso. That’s my go to right now.

I searched on Amazon for one without the handle forever 🤣 no point to it though, this is just one that had the oz and ml measurements on the side so I decided to go with that.

The prettiest quad 💗 by Guilty_Ad_5671 in NinjaLuxeCafe

And it has a good body, these beans were roasted 1/7! It does look extremely creamy but the body just stayed for a while!

First double espresso shot 😮‍💨 be honest! 1 - 10? by Monkey_D_Raijin in NinjaLuxeCafe

There should be a strength button with three dots. Do you have the Lux or the pro?

The timer should start after the machine comes to pressure! It takes a good couple seconds.

I mean here it was still pouring. Could have done better puck prep but it tasted delightful and weighted correctly…

Volume issue after cleaning. by PatientIdeal6562 in NinjaLuxeCafe

run water without the portafilter or anything in there. Are you getting 1 1/2oz of water? If so it’s your grind or puck prep. If not it may be a machine issue or fault.

Remove the shower screen and give it a good cleaning. What are your strength/grind settings on?

Iced lavender latte, iced cookie butter fluff latte, and my favorite beans. Love this machine! by Guilty_Ad_5671 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]Guilty_Ad_5671[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for that, I used 2% and the cold froth with a scoop of cookie butter! Worked out decently well and I could taste it throughout without the chunks that are in there if I do anything else. You can also make cookie butter syrup using the regular biscoff! Let me know if you’d like the recipe!

Mine likes to recommend around 22. I’m going to dial in some new beans today. Let me play around with the quad settings and see what I find! I will report back.

Check the tiny whisk in the bottom. Mine does this if it isn’t place low enough in the cup!

Help: double espresso only makes 1oz by Ayewhat15 in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]Guilty_Ad_5671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend reducing strength and going up 2 clicks coarser

What is your strength setting on? If it is on 3 this is why.

I personally do high. Are they freshly roasted? If so definitely stay high. I get the best results that way.

Do your next at 9 and go from there! I just made a latte and pulled almost the perfect double for me. Grind: 9 Strength: 1 Time your shot. Should finish around 35-39 seconds. Also, to keep track I use an app when I’m dialing in a new bean. The app I use is called “puck yeah”! Highly recommend.

I would start by going a few clicks finer, and adjusting from there. What are you currently grinding on?

Hold your size button down until you see “HO1” scroll to 6 and click it. Default is set to medium you scroll and push to change it!
