CoffeeGeek<p>Fun day today, unboxing, photographing, and going over the new Ninjs Cafe Luxe espresso / coffee machine, from top to bottom. Also really need to break in that grinder; I can already tell, with about 15 drinks built, it is changing up a bit and settling in. I figure the usual 3-5kg of coffee and it should be singing. Have included several pictures, including the main machine, the very first shot pull, and how the milk VORTEXES in the steam pitcher. The standard double shot pulls 45g like clockwork.</p><p>The machine has some features no one's written about yet:</p><p>- the steam pitcher has a froth whirler whisk thing built right into the bottom centre of it. That's how froth is created, and also how the cold froth works</p><p>- there is a hidden service / additional features menu for further fine tuning the machine. Ninja only explains 2 of the 10 settings available, in the manual. Will inquire about the others</p><p>- This can brew a "quad shot" of espresso in one go, using the deeper basket. Up to 40g coffee used. Maybe @LanceHedrick will like that :) I remember La Marzocco and Pierro Bambi did some heavy experiments with this in the past.</p><p>- you can manually froth with this machine and a traditional milk pitcher. I'm very happy to see that.</p><p>- almost everything is very quick, though milk frothing takes a while automatically.</p><p>In addition, some letdowns: no hot water function, no PF rinse function. But that said, i've brewed several 6, 8 and 10oz coffees on this and they are FANTASTIC.</p><p>More to come!</p><p>cc <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/coffee" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>coffee</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/espresso" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>espresso</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/espressomachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>espressomachine</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/espresso" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>espresso</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ninjakitchen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ninjakitchen</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ninjacafeluxe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ninjacafeluxe</span></a></p>
