Glad the review was helpful. That’s a very nice gift to receive. I hope you enjoy it.

Our pleasure. Thanks for commenting and for supporting our channel.

Hi Lucianac. Yes, we use the Ninja for oats all the time. We use the large pitcher usually and combine rolled oats with almond flour for muffins or for pancakes. The smaller pitcher with the more typical blender blades works well for this also, and seems to make a finer flour than the larger pitcher and blades. Also, I have not tried to grind or chop nuts, but the nut butter did work quite well with the pitcher with the paddles. I would assume chopping nuts would work also, probably with the larger pitcher and blades.

@@sevenminutereviews Thanks so much for your quick reply!

Hi Michael. We have been using it from time to time, when we want to make Nespresso coffee. We usually use our espresso machine, though. Interestingly enough, last week I accidentally tried to make a drink with the water tank completely empty, and the machine started making a weird noise. I then added water and tried running the machine again, but at that point it no longer was working. A few power cycles, unplug and replug in, but I was still unable to get it to work. Hope this info helps. I usually recommend buying from Amazon or Best Buy and getting extended warranties with coffee machines, especially espresso or Nespresso machines.

Hi Luclecool. Thank you so much for your kind and inspiring words. We are so appreciative that you found and enjoyed our channel. We hope to keep making more content that you enjoy.

Thank you for your insights and for supporting our channel.

Hi Miss Erica. Your comment is so appreciated. We work hard to bring quality reviews and deliver them in a time frame that's easy to watch. Your comment makes us so happy that we've been able to achieve that for you. Thank you for your support of our channel and for such encouraging words.

Hi Scott. Yes, believe it or not, 50 minutes to an hour is a good time frame for these muffins. Being that they're made with oats and almond flour, they take longer to bake than when using regular flour.

@@bonus999 Sorry to hear you're having the same issue. It's tough with such expensive consumer products and sometimes lack of longevity/reliability. I hope the warranty through Breville resolves it for you.

Hi Skwan. Thank you for your comment and questions. I completely understand where you’re coming from. Your situation isn’t too different from where we were in our home. My wife likes easy, capsule based machines. I prefer grinding from whole beans. You may want to look at two different, machines, such as one of the Breville machines and a separate capsule based machine. In this case, the Bambino Plus wouldn’t be a bad idea, along with either of the Nespresso machines or the L’Or. I don’t think you will notice much difference between any of the Nespresso machines or the L’Or. The L’Or gives more flexibility with larger coffee drinks. Even the Vertuo machines by Nespresso are ok in this case, but I don’t like their espresso as much as the original capsules. I mention the Bambino Plus because it has the automatic milk steaming, so you and your husband can do milk steaming easily, if he or you don’t want to do it manually. He can even use the Bambino Plus milk steaming to go with his capsule based coffee. The only issue here would be the lack of a grinder for whole beans, which would be another separate purchase. I wouldn’t recommend using pre-ground beans. Another option would be trying one of the Breville Impress machines, such as the Barista Touch Impress. We reviewed that one also, and it actually failed on us, but I believe we were overusing it for what it’s designed for. It may be better suited for you and your needs. It’s easy enough to use that my wife was happy with it and didn’t feel a need for a capsule based machine, and it gives you grinding and easy tamping as well as very good milk steaming/foaming. But either way, I would recommend getting an extended warranty, such as with Best Buy or even Amazon. I have found both to stand by their warranty well.

Not true. I’ve had mine for 2 years. It works perfectly.

I've read other comments where people have called their help line. I wonder what they would say.

The first red flag is the built-in grinder. Avoid these types of machines.

You must be his mom

Ice cream is not one of the settings on this blender. I was not aware of a way to make ice cream with it. But, after your question I did a google search and I did find a generic way to make ice cream in a blender. It also mentioned scraping the sides of the blender intermittently, so the smoothie bowl maker (the pitcher with the paddles) would probably be helpful with that. Hope this helps and thanks for supporting our channel.

Glad to hear. Thank you for supporting our channel.

Hi lfguyj. Sorry to hear you’re having some difficulty. I use the spread setting, and I would recommend roasted nuts. Raw nuts (not sure if you tried with raw or roasted) won’t work very well. Also, I’ve found the paddles that turn with the knob are only effective if the pitcher is filled enough. This part may take a bit of trial and error. You don’t want the pitcher completely full, but do want it about 2/3 full so that the paddles can make contact with the nuts in order to properly mix around the ingredients. Ninja does recommend using about two tablespoons of canola oil and about 1.5 cups of almonds (almonds are a little more dry for example than peanuts or other nuts) on one of their recipe guides, though I’ve found that it does work without any additional oil as well, as it did in the video. I personally don’t like the idea of added oil, but it’s something that would help if you’d like to try that as well. Once you get a better feel for it I’m sure you will have better success with different types of nuts. I hope some of this helps. Please keep us all updated. Thanks for your kind comments and thanks for your support.

@@sevenminutereviews i gave it another shot, so I got the roasted mixed nuts from Costco and it worked like a charm, just like in your vid. Thank you. the power paddle is a pain to clean coz butter gets stuck on the paddles and there is very little room between the paddle and the bowl, so a sponge won't work.

Yh I got it yesterday but the coffee kids are all very nasty strong coffee.. u don't get any later or cappuccino

It is on sale in the US for $50.00 off and 30 free capsules

Im jealous

​@danielrusso8876 where?

Replacement machine was working fine this week and now it's not. I'm getting no water flowing through even on a blind shot. It's just pooling up in the portafilter. I pull a blind shot to clean after brewing and again before I brew a new shot. I have begun to really, really hate this machine.

Yes they do, as long as it’s the original line capsules (smaller capsules) and not the vertuo capsules. And thank you for your support of our channel.

Hi Lillian. Happy 50th birthday. We’re so happy to hear that our review was helpful to you and your purchasing process. Smart move on buying the warranty. Even with the potential failures with Breville, we have another one now that we’re using and will review soon, and our good friends just bought one based on our recommendations as well. All with extended warranties of course.

Lillian, any problems with your machine 6 months after?

Return it? Idk, probably has something wrong with it.
