Welcome to the Ninja Luxe Club :cool:

I have medium roast beans from Wonky coffee https://wonkycoffee.com/

Which beans do you use?

I’ve had a couple from The Coffeeworks (Coffee Kev from youtube), they were good without much dialing in.
Most recent one was from Redber, i’ve followed the recommendations from the Ninja barista assist but it’s still very bitter.

spent several hours dismantelling/debugging my HX bazerra
( coffee machine failure probably follows death/divorce/moving-house in terms of stress, I need an insurance policy that would provide a temp machine.)
main relay that would heat boiler, briefly came on, when turned on, but then disengaged, and it would not heat up
- shorted pressurestat, not that
- removed relay cleaned sparked/blackened contacts&tested not that (those contacts have a few years under their belt )
- checked boiler high/low & tank probes
- was concluding that one of the relays in gicar had gone (had replaced it's 12v transformer a couple of years back)

then thought ok I'll check it would refill boiler if it was low, siphoned out some water - hay presto it then started working.

seems to me like there is some corner case in the gicar/mcu programming, such that if I do something like turn off the machine whilst it is filling it can get confused ?
OR the relays are on their way out and it is just temperamental.

figured out my issue - after problem recurred,
and realised that if low water probe was sending a false/faulty empty reading and high level was also saying it was full ie. contradiction. then gicar may be designed to shut down the machine;
after shorting the low water probe to ground/chassis machine seems to work so there is a fault in the probe - will disassemble at w/e
