Quick Review Of The Ninja Autobarista Pro
The Americano was tasty, and cold brew and a double espresso were well-balanced.
Having it dial in your shot and auto-adjust grind size is a game changer.
Same Issues On 2nd Ninja Autobarista Pro
Pulled two espressos, and both turned out extremely watery.
Ran the Grind IQ calibration, and it took seven rounds before it stopped; none of the shots looked different from the last one.
Ninja Autobarista Pro Beginner
For the first try, I did a single shot at intensity 4, and it was terrible and watery. Then I tried a double shot at intensity 4, and it was better
Last night I set it up, ran the hard water test, and did the Grind IQ calibration (which only took two tries for me). This morning it was ready to go.
Ninja Autobarista Pro Tips Tricks
The machine adjusts each drink. For instance, I’ve been doing double shots, but I tried a triple. It won’t know the best grind for a triple until it tries one.
It’s two buttons instead of one, and you have to stay near the machine, but having options is nice.
Ninja Autobarista Pro Grindiq Demands To Be Run
This is starting to get really frustrating. Within the one week of owning the machine we ran through almost 2kg (4.4lbs) of coffee. Usually we use 1kg (2.2lbs) a month with our old Siemens superautomatic. I have called Ninja Support on Monday - a very friendly guy explained to me that he had another customer just a week ago with the same issue but explained that he didn't receive the proper "support training" on the AutoBarista Pro yet. Because of that he is not allowed to help me out so someone with the AutoBarista Pro training will get back to me. Which they didn't. I called another 2 days later and the person on the phone didn't even seem to know the machine or grindIQ at all, he seemed to scroll through FAQs which didn't list the problem. He then offered to send me the luxe cafe pro since they don't have any AutoBarista Pro machines in stock (lol). I declined and ended the call. Here's my problem description: Every morning when I turn on the machine it demands grindIQ to be run (orange LED) before I even made coffee. If I do not run it the extraction is drippy resulting in very highly concentrated shots with too little water. When first setting up the machine, grindIQ would take 3 extractions. The weird thing here is that the machine seems to know before the first grindIQ extraction that it will take 6+ extractions (judging by the LED bar that only fills up around 10-15% the first extraction). During the initial set-up process, the first grindIQ extraction would fill the LED bar by almost half. I tried so far: Dark roast, medium roast beans. Skipping grindIQ and simply making 2 bad shots seems to be superior as that seems enough to get the machine back to making good coffee. The machine does remember the hopper installed after a power cycle - when re-starting with hopper 2 installed, hopper 2 is selected in the settings. What I'll try next: During the first 2 days of using the machine I changed hoppers while the machine was off. So the machine was thinking it's using hopper 1 while hopper 2 with different beans was inserted. This is where it first ran the super long 5-6 extraction grindIQ cycle. My last hope is that this triggered some kind of software bug. I'll reset the entire machine today and start from scratch. I already discarded the packaging and returning it to the retailer is quite a hassle. Also once the machine is calibrated we're super happy with the coffee it makes. Anyone had a similar problem? Edit: I just switched from hopper 2 to hopper 1 - also demanded GrindIQ even though it should have been calibrated. Started GrindIQ and in the middle of it cancelled because I wanted to go on with my plan to reset the entire machine. Ever since I did that the error seems gone. I power cycled the machine 3 times, disconnected cord and pressed "On" to make sure it's really off. So far no more GrindIQ requests when restarting. Even swapping hoppers it seems to last.

No technique. No guesswork. Just great drinks, from the very first cup.
Ninja Autobarista Pro Ae1052uk Ongoing Issues
No beans end up dropping, and I have to manually stop it.
Third Ninja Autobarista Pro Replacement Straight
The user is reporting on their third Ninja AutoBarista Pro replacement, which, straight out of the box, is already grinding endlessly and wasting beans.
We immediately noticed how much worse the espresso from the Ninja was compared to this. It was bitter and just didn't taste good.
The machine constantly demands to run Grind IQ, even after I've already done it for a double and triple shot. It'll work fine for a day, then the next day it starts beeping errors and wants to run Grind IQ again.
So My Ninja Autobarista Pro Broke After A Week
I've only had issues with this machine poorly calibrating, eating beans, and pouring wild variations of espresso shots despite 'GrindIQ'.
The brew unit no longer pulls outwards and restarting gets stuck in rinse mode with buttons aside from the power button no longer responsive.
Few Issues With The New Ninja Autobarista Pro
The first one I left on strength 3 of 5 but the next one I put it right up to 5 of 5 and didn't notice any difference.
So after 2 superautos then the novelty wearing off with a NinjaLuxe, I'm back to try their new superauto. First issue is the Grind IQ made EIGHT and just over 500ml of coffee before it decided it would settle. What a waste of my expensive Exhale coffee beans! However, even after that, I've made 2 since and the espressos are very thin and watery. The first one I left on strength 3 of 5 but the next one I put it right up to 5 of 5 and didn't notice any difference. I also notice a slight chemically taste. Other thing is there are huge gaps in grinding like 5secs at a time where nothing will be feeding and it's just grinding nothing, not sure if that's normal but that last coffee at the end it literally spun the grinder for about 15-20secs straight at the end. I know this is supposed to be to purge out the beans so the hoppers can be swapped but I removed the hopper after in case it wasn't sitting right on the scales or something and there are still beans in the grinder. The last thing could be a weird quirk but normal, doesn't feel it. But no idea what to do about the watery thin espresso, run GrindIQ again?? Is there a way to see what grind size it settled at and manually put it to around there if I needed to reset it so it doesn't start from way off and waste so much beans?
Disappointed With The Ninja Autobarista Pro
I just returned my Ninja Autobarista Pro after a week. The interface was neat, but the espresso was really disappointing. I had the same issues as others—inconsistent pulls and way too many beans wasted for just a few decent shots. I’m looking for something that works well. Is the De'Longhi Magnifica Plus the go-to upgrade, or should I consider something else? Would love your opinions!
What Espresso Beans Is Everyone Using With The
I've also been dealing with inconsistent shot extractions, though I think that's probably more of a GrindIQ issue.
Ninja Autobarista Pro Grind Iq Issue
The Grind IQ on my Ninja AutoBarista Pro isn't working properly. If I use the IQ for a double shot and it calibrates, then when I switch to a 3-shot pull, it grinds too fine and blocks water flow.
Third Ninja Autobarista Pro Replacement Straight
This is now the third unit, and I'm seeing the same core issue: excessive bean waste and an unreliable Grind iQ/calibration process.
Eventually, the machine jammed and displayed an ER32 error.
Er34 On Brand New Ninja Autobarista Pro
So I'm doing the Grind IQ. It's just spinning the grinder and the hopper on the top isn't rotating to drop the beans?
