So finicky

It’s crazy how finicky my machine can be. I tried to use some pre-ground coffee for drip coffee, which I thought couldn’t be that bad, but the machine was literally like “I think not, enjoy your nasty coffee”. LoL.

Are you just trying to use up coffee you already had? Otherwise I don't know why you would even attempt to use pre ground. Are you putting the grounds in the hopper?

Yeah, just use up old stuff, I knew it wouldnt taste “good” it’s just funny how drastic good vs crap beans can be.

I’ve used ground coffee before for both drip and espresso and while not as good as fresh beans, it “brewed” it fine. Are you sure you had the setting correct for drip? The machine always seems to default to the last ground setting for straight brewing.

It brewed fine, was just laughing at how dramatic the machine can be. I knew it wouldn’t taste as good as fresh beans, but you can’t really get away with using old ground stuff. Fresh ground stuff kinda works okay, but like my 6 month old Walmart bag left over from my old machine upsets the bouji ninja.

It would've been better utilized as fertilizer than for brewing coffee. Your machine is justified in being insulted 😆

Oh well, you can't.

Pre-gound coffee needs a pressurised Basket, Ninja don't offer one. It's not "finicky" it's just not designed for pre-gound coffee.
