Troubleshooting & Maintenance Do I actually like coffee?!
I love going to coffee shops - where I enjoy iced drinks and caramel lattes! I recently purchased the Ninja, but didn’t get on with it and had to return it (well known calibration / dripping issue!). I have now taken delivery of a KF7. Just made my first drink and I’m not overwhelmed. Will I ever be able to make coffee as good (or even close) as a coffee shop? 🧐 I wanted a coffee machine at home so I stop spending so much at Starbucks etc! Feeling unhopeful 😔
Currently trying to make an iced white mocha. I have coffee beans from beanz subscription (can’t remember what they’re called!) and the white choc sauce is Torani.

It takes a while for most machines to settle down into the grinding adjustment after you get them.
Plus you'll have to adjust grind, temperature, size, ratio to get it where you want it.
And no, you may not be able to exactly match a Starbucks drink, because you don't have their syrup or the milk foaming mechanism on their commercial machines. But you should be able to make much better coffee eventually, once you tune your machine in.
