Quick and convenient coffee or espresso

Just picked up this new Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista System and so far, I am enjoying it. This system is so easy to use, and I love the large carafe size at 55 ounces. On the days I work from home, I fill up the pot and keep it fresh on the warmer all morning long. There is so much to love in the convenient little coffee and espresso system.
If you are a fan of espresso but can’t make it to a coffee shop, this machine is compatible with Nespresso capsules so you can have that fresh cup of espresso in an instant. Simply lift the lever on the top of the machine, insert the Nespresso capsule, close the lever, select the espresso type, then let the magic happen. The used capsule drops into a container and is stored until you are ready to dispose of the capsules when the bin is full, the bin can hold 20 used capsules. The bin is also part of the adjustable cup tray, so you can adjust the height of the tray to best fit the mug you are using when making espresso. What makes this machine stand out from others is that it has Barista Plus Technology, which means it is a 19-bar high-pressure system that creates a café-quality espresso with a crema that is so smooth. There are 4 sizes and styles of espresso this machine can make. The Ristretto comes in at .85oz, the Espresso at 1.35oz, Lungo at 3.75oz, and the Over Ice at 1oz. The Ninja Barista System has a fold-out frother that helps to create the perfect cappuccinos or lattes, right in your own kitchen. The frother is easy to use and easy to clean. The arm on the frother that has the blender twists off for easy cleanup. The frother can be used for both hot and cold froth depending on what you are making or personal preference. The espresso portion of this machine is quick and easy to use, creating a smooth and perfect cup of espresso every time. I love the convenience of it if you are looking for that little extra kick.
This Ninja Barista System is also a grounded coffee machine. I use the coffee-making capabilities more than the espresso-making abilities in my daily routine. I absolutely love the brew this machine throws down. The machine does a wonderful job and I have yet to have a bad coffee in the morning, this machine has never let me down. I have never had a coffee machine where setting the brew time for the next day was this easy. I have always had to battle every machine I have ever had when trying to figure out the timer, it was like I had to re-learn how to do it, every single night. Not with this machine, it is so easy! It was the first feature I tried out after I set the machine up. All you have to do is press “delay” and then follow the prompts on the little wheel display. Nothing better than waking up and having the coffee be hot and ready for you. The machine even has its own coffee grounds scoop that attaches to the side and has an easy-to-read measurement guide, so you know how many coffee grounds to add depending on the size of the cup or carafe you are about to make. The coffee size-making options are awesome. You can make a single cup of coffee all the way up to the 12-cup carafe. There are a total of 9 sizes of coffee you can make, small cup, Cup, XL cup, Travel mug, XL Travel, ¼ Carafe, ½ Carafe, ¾ Carafe, and 12-cup carafe. The coffee can also be brewed in 3 different types, Classic, Rich, or Over ice. The water reservoir is removable and holds up to 60oz of water, enough to fill the carafe to the top once. The top of the water dispenser is tight and has not leaked on me. I love the handle on the reservoir it is very secure and ensures you have a good grip, so you don’t drop it. The coffee side of the machine also has a warming plate that has adjustable times, up to four hours, adjustable heat, low, med, and large all to keep the perfect temperature to your liking.
So far, I love having this machine as a new addition to the kitchen. My wife has told everyone about it as she loves it too. My wife and I went nuts on buying all sorts of new espressos from Nespresso and we have become even bigger fans of espresso since using this machine. The machine brews both espresso and coffee perfectly and evenly and even at the perfect temperature. Ninja did a great job on this machine build, it is solid and has no cheap jiggly parts, and it is very sturdy. I highly recommend this coffee machine!

This is an Amazing Duo! I just came from a Ninja Single brew system and Let me tell you….This Machine’s brewed coffee, has the same great taste as my previous Ninja did but now I can brew a single brew, with 3 increasing ounce sizes, up to a pot of coffee. But the best part is, the ability to throw an espresso pod in the machine ( original pods/capsule only). The Lungo setting gives you a nice frothy layer. I purchased a variety pack of pods on Amazon with different intensity strengths as to not have a heart attack and those are great,
It has a built in frother which I always used on my previous Ninja but I felt like a Big Shot so also purchased a heated frother and that was a game changer. You will need a rolling tray from Amazon to pull it out from under the cabinet when filling the coffee filter. Yeah, this system may be a bit pricey… but it’s so Worth it!!

The initial impression I had when opening the box for the Ninja Coffee/Espresso maker was it appeared to have a lot of attachments such as the pod ejection box (for the espresso side), water tanks etc.. But as I began to use the device to brew both Coffee and Espresso there were some things I liked and some things I did not, listed below:
Pros
Clean looking device, is not an eye sore appliance that sits on the counter like some of its competitors in this area.
Many brew options, you can choose to brew small cups up to a full pot of coffee which was a neat feature compared to the standard "full pot or none" approach.
Its straightforward use was refreshing to see as it appeared complicated at first blush, once you've figured out the capabilities of the device (which are minimal) it was pretty straight forward.
The options on the front of the unit are pretty clear and direct, does not leave a lot of room for confusion, such as brewing a cup or a full pot of coffee etc.
Brewing does not take an eternity like some others, pretty speedy for the most part.
Negatives
Instructions are fairly unclear, they do not provide feedback on if there is a grinder for the beans or list of the full features of the unit. There was assumptions made based on the name and picture of the unit.
The espresso component only takes a specific Nespresso style pod. I was hoping to move away from pods to save some money, but buying brand specific pods does not achieve this goal. Not a huge deal breaker but more of a nuisance.
This does not come with a re-usable filter for the Coffee side of the unit.
Overall the coffee maker's quality is good, it does brew faster than some traditional drip-style coffee makers, however, this is the best feature, it's a really good drip style coffee maker but nothing more. The espresso side of the unit is disappointing due to the requirement that I must use a specific branded pod and cannot take beans for that side of the process.

I've always enjoyed a fresh cup of coffee every now and then. More recently, I've been liking the cappuccino/lattes and such but don't really like paying $5+ for one whenever I want it. Enter this super snazzy coffee machine that does a whole lot more than just brew a pot of coffee.
On top of your normal brewing a pot of coffee, this machine can do individual brews, K-Cups, as well as espresso and cappuccino type drinks. Controls for the machine are pretty simple/intuitive and everything is pretty easy to clean.
After performing a thorough cleaning cycle on this machine, I brew up a regular pot of coffee and it worked well. For a full carafe, it took about 8-10 minutes or so. It used up pretty much the whole water reservoir but that's to be expected I guess. The keep warm feature is nice and the machine can take just about any grind of coffee you have. I had some leftover pods from an older machine. These were pretty fine grind so I emptied them into a filter and got to brewing. I do need to get some more K-Cups as I'm eager to try out the single brew on this as well as using the frother.
So far, it's been pretty cool to use. This isn't your ordinary coffee machine so it might take a bit to get used to. However, seems like a really nice addition to any kitchen and very useful.

This is my first espresso/coffee combo, it is easy to use. Easy to clean and self clean. It makes a fresh pot of coffee extremely fast and the taste is amazing. I love the “rich” coffee setting. As far as the espresso part, it is fast and the the espresso comes out very hot. I love the attached frother. This is just an amazing coffee maker that has exceeded my expectations

I purchased this Ninja Barista System about a year ago and I think I’ve used it every single day since. This is by far one of my best purchases of all time. Not only does the machine have every function you might need possible, but it is also extremely easy to use and understand. This Ninja device checks every box for me. I wanted a coffee machine where I could brew both coffee and espresso and I did not want to be stuck to just one brand (ex. Nespresso or Kiereg) I wanted to be able to get whatever coffee or espresso I wanted. I recommend this device to all of my friends and family.

Why spend money at a coffee shop when you can have your own coffee shop at home? This Ninja Espresso and Coffee Barista System is exactly what I need in my life! My favorite about this system is that I can make a pot of coffee or a cup of Espresso cappuccino.
This Ninja Espresso and Coffee Barista System comes with a glass carafe. I like that there is a delayed brew option and a keep warm option. I rarely use the glass carafe unless I have guests. My husband and I drink different types of coffee. He likes Folgers and I like flavored coffees. This system is great for our mornings. He makes a 32 ounce cup of Folgers for work, and I have a 12oz specialty coffee with a shot of Espresso!
I should add that this system will not use the k-cup pods. It will only use Nespresso aluminum pods. When using the Espresso side, there is an adjustable tray for different size cups and a used capsule storage bin.
Overall, this system has everything that you need to have your own coffeehouse at home. Highly recommend.

This machine has completely upgraded my coffee routine. I love that it can brew both a full pot and single-serve cups, plus the Nespresso compatibility is a huge bonus. The espresso comes out rich with a nice crema, and cleanup is easier than I expected. Perfect for coffee lovers who want versatility without taking up too much counter space.

I absolutely LOVE my Ninja Coffee system. I purchased this to replace a much more expensive brand which I had to keep sending back to the company for leak issues. I got so sick of it that I decided to purchase this. I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase.
This coffee system is amazing. It brews coffee exceptionally fast in a variety of ounces and brews (classic, rich, and over ice). The dial feature is easy to use and I thought the setup was easy. Both the coffee pot and the pods can be used at the same time. Our daughter enjoys drinks over ice, so she uses pods to brew hers and we enjoy a piping hot pot of coffee that is brewed perfectly.
The water tank is conveniently located in the back of the machine with a nice grip (as someone with grasp/grip issues this is important to me). It is easy to fill and has all the necessary markings for all the different brews available. The handle on the pot is also very easy to grip and has a nice turn to lock in place lid feature, so there are no mishaps with spilling.
A single pot of coffee can stay warm for as long as 4 hours. If there would be one improvement on this, it would be the allowance of turning on the heating element without having to brew some sort of amount of additional coffee.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

The Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista System has exceeded every expectation — it’s genuinely the perfect all-in-one machine for anyone who loves great coffee without the fuss. From the moment you set it up, it’s clear that Ninja designed this system with both convenience and quality in mind.
The versatility is outstanding. Whether I’m brewing a full 12-cup carafe for guests, pulling a rich Nespresso-compatible espresso shot, or making a quick single-serve cup on busy mornings, the flavor is always smooth, bold, and beautifully balanced.
With four distinct espresso styles, crafting the perfect cup becomes effortless. You can brew a classic 40ml espresso, a smoother 110ml Lungo, a refreshing 30ml espresso over ice, or the Ninja-exclusive 25ml Ristretto for an intensely rich, concentrated sip. I also appreciate the adjustable tray heights in the espresso section, which make it easy to use different cup sizes. There’s even a convenient pull-down tray above the warming plate for smaller cups — thoughtful touches that make it feel like an actual barista setup right on your countertop.
The controls are wonderfully intuitive. Everything is clearly labeled, responsive, and simple to navigate — even before your morning caffeine kicks in. The machine heats quickly, produces espresso with excellent crema, and looks sleek and modern in black.
Cleanup is easy, the build feels sturdy, and the performance is consistently reliable. It’s rare to find a machine that handles both coffee and espresso this well, but Ninja truly nailed it.
If you’re looking for convenience, high-quality brewing, and genuine versatility in one stylish system, this is the machine to get.
From the ease of searching for the best product for my space and wish list to using the chatbot for questions and the order process, the transaction was so easy! Thank you, Best Buy!

I recently purchased the Ninja 7 Style Espresso & Coffee Barista System in Black, and I must say it's been a game-changer for my morning routine. The ability to use both single-serve and Nespresso capsules offers great versatility. The built-in frother makes lattes and cappuccinos a breeze. The 12-cup carafe is perfect for entertaining guests. It's a sleek and stylish addition to my kitchen. Highly recommended!

This coffee works great. I enjoy the different settings it has for the pods. It’s easy to use once you flip over the instructions. The attachment for the frothier is so convenient. The only con I would say is that in pod mode it is loud when it’s pre heating.

First and foremost, i am a casual coffee drinker. I mainly drink black coffee in the mornings and tea in the afternoon. I have had the original ninja coffee maker for years and years and finally decided it was time to upgrade. My old one still worked fine but i really like the idea of having the option for making espresso as well as coffee. This new ninja is great. I didnt want a k cup make because i like the option of making single cups or a whole pot of coffee. Plus it has a milk frother built in. It doesn't steam the milk so you do have to microwave it to heat it up and just push the button on the frother and it spins and froths the milk. The nespresso pods are nice. It takes the smaller pods in this model and i have found a good variety of pods at kroger and sams club sells starbucks pods. Overall i am very happy with this machine and recommend it. It would be nice if it had a tea setting on it. I find that if i brew a pot of tea that the tea turns cloudy after sitting. I read that can be due to too high of a brew temperature. But other than that its excellent!

So far, this is the best coffee maker ive purchased yet. I prefer espresso, while family prefers regular brewed coffee so having the option for both built into one machine is very convenient. And the frother is awesome! Setting up was super easy, just follow the directions.

This coffee maker is legit. Most of the time we have 3/4 pot of coffee and the flavor comes out fantastic. We purchased a stainless steel filter and it works perfect with it. Then for an afternoon pick me up, been doing a double espresso with a vanilla protein shake on ice. It’s the perfect afternoon coffee.

I really liked this machine when we first got it—it was super convenient having both drip coffee and espresso-style options in one system. It brewed quickly, the coffee tasted good, and it looked great on our counter.
But after about 3 years of regular use, it just stopped puncturing the espresso capsules and won’t brew them anymore. I expected it to last longer for the price.
It’s a solid machine while it works, but if you’re looking for long-term durability, this might not be it.

This coffee maker makes great coffee with a very good taste, its frother is also very good and the whole thing is easy to clean. The espresso maker makes very good espressos that are very smooth. The big issue is durability the espresso maker broke after a while theres a broken pin so the pod only gets punctured on one end causing only water to come out of the espresso side, I will be exchanging this product due to the defect and getting another of the same to see if there is still an issue. I will update my review if the next one does not suffer the defect.

My wife is a coffee 'snob' if that means anything. She likes all thpes of coffee, and buying this for her was everything she could have wanted. I also got her some Nespresso pods from amazon to use as the espresso, and she has loved those as well. Works very well, and its insane how fast it brews coffee compared to the traditional pour over. Im not a fan of coffee, but even i enjoy this. Also very easy to use, and having a delay button to program up to 24 hrs in advanced is wonderful . Really cant say enough good stuff about it.
