Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was skeptical of this design, because it claims to do so many things: grind the coffee, brew the coffee (cold or hot, espresso or drip), and also make hot/cold foam? Things that try to Swiss Army Knife rarely do any task well. A friend told me it was worth it, so here we are, and I am seriously impressed. For context, I have two espresso makers, multiple french presses of different sizes (including a Stanley for camping with a hand grinder), pour overs, everything besides an aeropress. I buy fresh coffee roasted locally, grind it just before brewing, use a kettle with exact temperature settings. I pay attention to detail, and like my coffee straight up, so I can taste what I'm paying $16/lb for. And now I don't need any of those (besides the Stanley for camping). The SharkNinja does it all, effortlessly. Setup was well documented, the parts all feel high quality with good weight and build. The springloaded tamper is genius for getting tamp right, and the multiple brew baskets mean my girlfriend can brew espresso for her latte, and I can do cold brew a few minutes later, easy peasy. This thing grinds as well as my expensive grinder – and SO much quieter, it brews as well (if not better) than my other gear, and though I don't take milk in my coffee, my girlfriend loves that once you figure it out, it's hard to get it wrong. The pros: - great build quality - actually makes great coffee, whether hot brewed, cold brewed, espresso, etc - everyone in the household can have the coffee they want, all within the same breakfast prep time - grinder is super quiet - lots of clever additions like the garages for all the gear - everything just works The cons: - it DOES have a learning curve, and every time I want to try something new I'm back in the manual figuring out the process. - sometimes it's TOO good at doing everything for you. Once you're on a path, the only way to change your mind is to turn the thing off and on again. - the menu fonts are really small, and a bit confusing. It took me a while to figure out how to select Espresso options because it wasn't intuitive how to navigate to them. - I wish I could attach the water tank to a water supply – somehow it seems to use far more water than ends up in the cup. Definitely recommend this, especially for the price, compared to "pro" machines for $500 more, and compared to plastic junk for barely any cheaper.

I’ve been using the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series 3-in-1 Espresso, Coffee, and Cold Brew Machine for a few weeks now, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s incredibly easy to use, even for someone who isn’t a trained barista. The built-in grinder and scale make it simple to get the perfect amount every time, and the hands-free frother is a great touch that makes delicious, creamy foam without any mess. The quality of the coffee it produces honestly beats what I’d get at most coffee shops — smooth, rich flavor whether I’m making espresso, a hot brew, or a cold brew. Plus, the stainless steel design looks beautiful on my countertop. If you want café-quality coffee at home without any hassle, I highly recommend this machine!

I’ve been using this coffee machine for a few months ago now, and it has genuinely made my mornings so much easier. It heats up quickly, brews smooth and consistent coffee, and is very easy to clean. The design is compact and fits perfectly on my counter. Overall, it’s reliable, user-friendly, and definitely worth the purchase.

Works great, even for a family that has never used this type of coffee maker. It's easy to set up and use, the coffee is delicious! Very heavy and high quality components. Overall pleased with it!

Very good coffee. easy to use. Nice looking machine. I would argue that the self frothing capture takes a little longer than I would like, and I do find that the water reservoir that you need to empty out underneath the machine fills up more quickly than I would like.

I recently got the Ninja Luxe Café coffee machine, and it has been my best coffee experience ever! The design is sleek and modern, instantly upgrading my kitchen’s look. It’s incredibly easy to use, with intuitive controls and multiple brew options that let me enjoy everything from rich espresso to creamy lattes at home. The frother works beautifully, and the coffee tastes just like a café-quality brew. Cleanup is simple, which makes it even more convenient for daily use. Overall, it’s perfect for anyone who loves café-style coffee without the hassle of going out. Highly recommended!

I’ve had many espresso makers in the past, from inexpensive boilers to outrageous fully automatic, this Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier is the best yet. The unit comes well packaged and unboxing was quick and easy. Setup on the other hand took about half an hour after peeling off the safety tape holding all the bits and pieces. You get two hard water test strips and dial that in first thing. After the initial water flush cycle, you run a couple of shots so the Barista Assist Technology can gauge the proper grind setting for your specific bean choice. This is a really nice feature as I changed bean type after the first few shots. Once the first shot with the new beans completed the machine told me to change my grind setting for the next one and it was much better. The next incredible thing about the Luxe Cafe is that rather than just grind beans for a set period of time like every previous machine I’ve used, this has a built in scale and it weighs the dose based on your drink selection. You can choose from espresso, cold pressed and drip varieties of coffee drinks. One thing I noticed is that this model does not do a single shot espresso, only double shots and quad shots. For drip coffees, there are seven size choices from 6 oz all the way to 18 oz. Love it! If you like milk drinks like lattes and cappuccinos, the auto frother is the best thing I’ve ever seen. There are five froth settings, four heated choices from steamed milk to extra thick froth and a cold foam selection. You also choose between dairy and plant-based milk products. To make your froth just fill the included pitcher (which has a spinning spring whisk in the bottom) , set it on the platform, make your selection and press start. That's all there is to it. The machine beeps when your froth is ready. The steam wand even automatically cleans itself when you push it back to the down position. But how does it taste you ask? I’ve been using the same bean brands for years and this is the best espresso I’ve had from any of my previous brewers. The extraction is on point and the crema is rich and creamy. The drip coffees are full bodied, consistent and delicious. A couple of additional things I really like. The bean hopper is removable and it closes the beans in so you don't spill when taking it out for cleaning or changing bean types. There are storage spaces on either side to hold the included tamper, portafilter funnel, large basket, cleaning disk and brush. I also like that you can move the cup holder height and remove the middle of the drip tray if you have a really tall cup or mug. On the other side, there are a couple of areas that might not be so great. I’ve had a couple of times where the beans do not feed through the hopper properly. This has happened on other machines as well when using oiler beans. The difference with this machine however is because it doses by weight not grind time, simply giving them a quick stir, the grind will continue until properly dosed. Also, when inserting the portafilter, it's a bit tight. There are rubber feet on the unit to help hold it in place though. When using the spring loaded tamper, don't over do it. One or two presses is fine. Finally, this unit does seem to discharge a lot more waste water then others i’ve had. When the red bobber pops up it means business, it needs to be emptied or it will leak. Little room for error here. This is not a fully automatic machine but it is the best tasting brewer yet. I give it five stars and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to make professional coffee drinks at home.

This espresso machine is an absolute game changer for coffee lovers. It delivers rich, full-bodied shots with a beautiful crema every single time. The brewing process is quick and consistent, and the temperature control ensures perfect flavor extraction. Its sleek, modern design adds a stylish touch to any kitchen, while the sturdy build feels durable and premium. Easy to use and clean, it’s perfect for both beginners and experienced baristas looking for café-quality coffee at home.

Sure! Here’s the translation: Excellent espresso machine. Easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes great-tasting coffee with good crema. Modern design and quality materials. Highly recommended.

Absolutely LOVE my Ninja Lux Cafe. I'm not a fan of having multiple appliances if it can be combined, so I love the fact that this can do a regular drip coffee AND espresso. I love that if the water runs out mid cup, you have the opportunity to refill the container and continue brewing your cup (i was coming from an older ninja coffee maker and that was something that bothered me). Learning how to make your perfect cup of joe or cappuccino is a breeze and the fact that everything has is own spot is a major plus. I highly recommend the ninja lux cafe!!

I am not a coffee expert, but I like to experiment with various coffee beans and ways to make many types of coffees. Based on my experience, I have found that coffee is hugely impacted by how finely the coffee is ground and how consistent the grind is. Pre-ground coffee normally tastes stale to me, so I usually use a hand crank conical burr grinder. It’s a trial-and-error process to determine the best grind, so I was excited to try this all included Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series Coffee maker. As expected, the setup was pretty easy. I was able to get the machine up and running quickly. I noticed extra purged water would store in the bottom half of the machine in a tray for easy removal and cleaning. The first thing I made was an espresso. I have to admit the espresso was better tasting than when I grind the beans myself. I am not sure if the taste was better because of the more consistent grind, the nice included damper, or the machine. The next coffee I tried was a cold brew. I normally “brew” at room temperature for about 10 to 11 hours. This brew did not taste as strong or complex as the brew I am used to making. I could see myself using this in a pinch, but it is no substitute for the way I typically make cold brew. I am not a fan of hot coffees, so I did not try many of the other options. I am excited to try some of the other coffees in the recipe book, and I believe this machine would make a lot of rapid-made coffees better with the consistent grind and recommended adjustments. I will note that while cleaning, you will want to turn the machine off before removing and cleaning the drip tray. While cleaning the tray, I turned the machine off only to discover a stream of water dripping in an area where the tray would have collected it. Overall, this machine is great and makes coffee better than I could. I gladly recommend this coffee machine; however, I will continue making my cold brew to brew at room temperature.

Works great, makes good espresso and drip coffee. Once you get use to it it is super easy to use.

Amazing machine! It’s the best on the market! Super easy use. You don’t need months of learning how to use it, super simple and makes amazing drinks!

Love this machine! We are not by any means baristas but this makes serving up great coffee creations a breeze! We love the single cup brew for weekday mornings and the latte and cappuccino options for weekends. Perfect every time. Would definitely recommend this as well as all Ninja products for ease of use and performance.

How could I ever have a great life without this coffee maker? Every cup takes me straight back to the streets of Italy, sitting in the sun, savoring the best latte you could imagine. This machine is so easy to use, and the quality is incredible. The coffee is perfect every single time: same amount of beans, same amount of water, same beautiful taste. Honestly, it’s the best investment I’ve ever made for my perfect mornings.

Works great, easy to use, easy to clean. Coffee is fresh and tastes clean. Well worth the money. Perfect for coffee house style espresso at home.

Exactly as advertised; Let's take a few things into account. This is not a professional machine, you won't catch this in a coffee shop, and to be fair, you shouldn't. I have had the fortunate experience of using my brother's very expensive machine and did a comparison and honestly, it holds up if you're trying to just not go to the coffee shop or a StarBucks. Pro's Super easy to use, like dummy proof, it calibrates itself, and has pretty easy settings to figure out. Everything is accessible, has great storage for the tools it comes with. Quick once it's set up Con's It takes a good day to calibrate. I needed a full day to calibrate this guy and figure out what the ideal setting was for my shots. You do need some experience or a really good youtube video to know what a shot should look like. You do need it's own cleaning tabs to clean the system if you want the best results (not too bad.) It can flood if you forget about the water tray. Freaked me out when I first forgot to dump it. It does not come out steaming hot. Warm but not cold. Overall its great for what it is. For those who have had the best, stick with the best, this machine is for those who need convenience and are not seeking it beyond a simple morning beverage.

Great product. Easy to maneuver and makes coffee shop quality coffee!

First off I should note that I really like Ninja products. My kitchen has a number of them. Secondly I work professionally in food service, including as a barista. The machine I use at work is a fully automatic programmed for Starbucks coffee. Thus far I am really enjoying the Ninja Luxe Cafe. I had been debating the purchase for some time, and decided to take the plunge. The construction of the device feels pretty good. Yes, there are plastic pieces but that is true of most machines anymore, including the overpriced one I use for work. The machine has all the little touches I've come to expect from a Ninja product. Things like the little storage areas for the parts, the heavy duty feeling pieces, and the generally straightforward screen design. The grinder built into the machine seems to be pretty good quality. It's easy to dial in the grind. The funnel setup that it uses makes tamping easy, and I really like the setup for that. The machine pulls good shots, at least on par with the machine I use at work. The milk steamer with the whisk in the bottom makes very consistent foam, though not the best for 'art'. You can manually steam the milk if that is an issue for you though. I have not yet used the full range of features, but the core ones (making lattes and other standard hot drinks) has worked great for me. Others have complained about noise, but I've found this machine to be very quiet. The grinder makes almost no noise at all, and the biggest noise is actually the beeps the machine makes (and those can be turned off). The milk steamer can not be run at the same time as the espresso shots are being pulled. I know in professional machines you can run both at once, I don't know if that's the case with home machines. The learning curve feels a lot lower with this machine than with other semi-automatic machines. Grind weight, tamping, pulling, and steaming is all very streamlined and easy for a new user. Harder to use than a standard coffee pot, sure, but much easier to use for a consistent cup than most machines. This machine is, in many ways, a very streamlined consumer version of an espresso machine without being fully automatic (and therefor costing quite a bit more). Great bargain for what it is capable of and easy to get a consistently good drink out of.

I’m really happy with my Ninja machine. It makes a great cup of coffee or espresso in just minutes, and the flavor is much richer than what I was getting from my Keurig. It’s easy to use, heats up fast, and feels like a big upgrade for my morning routine. Definitely glad I made the switch.
