CUSTOMISE YOUR BREW
TIPS & TRICKS
ENGLISH
Espresso or coffee not tasting how you had hoped? Luckily, our Ninja Luxe Café allows you to customize your drink to personal preference!
BEST BEAN PRACTICES
For best results, use freshly roasted coffee beans.
ARE YOU BREWING ESPRESSO OR COFFEE?
When purchasing coffee beans, it’s best to buy a bag with a “Roasted On” date
rather than a “Best Before” date to ensure quality and freshness.
We recommend you use any coffee beans within 20 days of the “Roasted On” date.

BREW STRENGTH ADJUSTMENT
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CUP
Adjusting Brew Strength:
To adjust brew strength, press the STRENGTH button.
Ensure the cup you are using is appropriate for the size of
your drink. For a hotter drink, use a cup that is a similar
size to your drink.
The thickness of the material your cup is made of will also
affect the temperature of your drink. For a hotter drink,
use a cup made of thinner material.
Espresso Strength Options:
•
Default: Taller, less concentrated: 4:1 water to grounds ratio
• •
2.5:1 water to grounds ratio
• • • Shorter, more concentrated: 2:1 water to grounds ratio
Adjust to a
different mode -
"classic" or "rich"

NOTE: Adjusting your espresso brew strength will affect your
brew volume output. Strength 1 will have a larger output than
the default setting. Use a larger cup than normal.
Running hot water through the group head and portafilter
will help preheat them and the machine for future brews.

To further increase the temperature of your drink, run a
water-only double shot of espresso through the portafilter
into the cup you would like to have your drink in. The
temperature of your cup will impact the temperature
of your drink. Discard the water, then dry the cup and
portafilter. Then, proceed to brewing. See Water Flush for
instructions.

We recommend you
use any coffee beans
within 20 days of
the “Roasted On” date.
Buying smaller bags of
beans will help ensure
optimal freshness
for every brew.
Medium: Our barista-recommended default setting.
To leave the additional settings menu, press the SIZE
button.
High: Select this setting if your froth is coming out
too cold or if you would like your froth slightly thicker.
To leave the additional settings menu, press the
SIZE button.
NOTE: Avoid using flavored beans. Added
oils and sugars on the beans can increase
residue build up in the grinder, increasing
the recommended frequency of cleaning.
The temperature setting will affect the extraction of
espresso and the flavor of your drink. For best results
and proper extraction, we recommend a low or medium
temperature for darker roasts, and a medium or high
temperature for lighter roasts.
COFFEE FLAVOUR ADJUSTMENT
Barista Assist will recommend a grind size depending on
the brew style and size. Because all beans are not roasted
the same, with the grind dial you have the opportunity to
adjust the flavour profile.
NOTE: While we recommend always following Barista Assist Technology, if the above does not work
to improve your espresso brew, try one setting coarser for bitter taste, one setting finer for sour taste.
Taste is too Bitter: Decrease Grind Size
Taste is too Sour: Increase Grind Size
