Yes, it is the Ninja luxe cafe. Been doing 2 double shots and using the medium foam setting with enough milk for a latte as my first drink of the day. My previous machine was a breville grind and brew where I had it set for a very strong 20oz of coffee. The grinder on the breville gave up trying to grind the costco espresso bean so I switched back to my cuisinart grinder⊠lol
BTW, if youâre buying Balzacâs Farmers Blend by any chance - that thing is notoriously difficult to extract properly for espresso on any equipment.
I used a local Ottawa roasters espresso blend(BBCR). I managed to make a sour batch today, I tried to make a quad(luxe) shot but didnât tamp it well enough. I dialed back the grind and my second attempt worked better but I think I prefer doing two double shots as the puck still comes out wet with the quad shot.
Ah cool. Me and my friends have all tried extracting Farmers Blend from Costco on different sets of equipment and only one was able to do it somewhat consistently and he has slow rampup pump capped at 8 bar of peak pressure. That generally makes extraction easier.
