Customer Ratings & Reviews

Walked in to buy a different espresso machine, but then I saw this one on the end of the aisle. It caught my attention due to Ninja being super reliable and easy to use in my experience. It was reasonably priced for all it had to offer. Plus, being new to espresso, this machine has been super straight forward. Anyways, I got it for my wife as a Christmas gift and she has been using it about every day for a year now. It still works like the day we bought it. Highly recommend if you are new to espresso.

This Ninja - Luxe Cafe Premier Espresso Machine is the fifth espresso machine I've bought in the last three years which should tell you something about the others! While I've only had the Ninja for a couple of weeks I'm confident in saying that it blows all of the others, costing up to $900, out of the water. Firstly, it's beautifully thought out and foolproof in operation, secondly, it's exquisitely made, so much so that one wonders how Ninja can do it for the price and finally it makes the best coffee drinks that I've ever had by far from a home machine. So much so in fact that I wonder how other espresso/coffee machines will be able to compete.

Awesome machine. Very clean design and super easy to use.

Love this machine! Has decreased my spending on coffee out to almost $0!! So fun to make my own drinks! If I feel like being lazy I’ll just do hot coffee or ice coffee which are easy and delicious !

Super beginner friendly! I was intimidated before buying, because this was my first coffee machine. But the intro video Ninja provides was super helpful. I got the hang of it right away, and now I have a coffee shop at home! The cold foam feature is my favorite.

I watch many videos on different espresso machine's, some costing 4 times as much as this one. But the overall reviews I saw showed that it fit my level of interest. Which is a beginner and just wanting something that really works in a simpler way. I like the look, and the size was right for me. I really like the ability to make Cold brew. The built-in auto-scale for the espresso grounds is a real help in the process when doing espresso drinks. I think it's built well and feels solid and not cheaply made. For the price it is a bargain when looking at other machines, 4 to 5 times more and actually require more expertise to use. So, if you're just wanting to learn and enjoy some of the same drinks you pay for at Starbucks $$$, now you can enjoy them at home. So, you will benefit from this Ninja Luxe. The one little side note is the hard water test you'll need, which Ninja provides 2 test strips, showed my faucet filter had 3 out of 5 marks which is not a good sign. This will require regular cleanings of the machine. BUT, I tested a bottle of store bought water and the test had 0 out of 5, so I will be using the bottled for my coffee, and hopefully reduce the need to clean the unit at all. Do realize that you'll need to have specific blends for your types of drinks. Espresso does need a dark roast whole bean blend, that says Espresso on the bag, if you want real flavor. Then you need to flush out those grounds which this machine will do, so you can put other blends for different coffee, which also will show you automatically what your grind settings should be, so helpful you'll come to find out, rather that weighing and doing that on your own, and this machine keeps that info in its memory banks, based on the weights of the types of roasts you use. The professionals are really picky about any machine that cost less than 5K, but if you're a nubie, you really will not miss the extra's you could get by spending 5K. Hope this helps your decision.

This machine is perfect for someone who wants to start making their own espressos but is afraid of a more manual machine. My old Keurig machine is on its way out and I really wanted to start making more of my own coffee at home including espressos. This machine manually weighs and grinds the coffee for you. That is what made me decide to purchase it over the Bambino Plus. The only missing feature is a hot water dispenser. I drink a lot of tea as well and it would have been nice to use it for tea. Overall I do not regret my purchase and I’m hoping that’ll it will be included in the next update.

This machine is worth every penny. Quality and consistent coffee every time, and multiple machines in one - grinder, espresso machine, coffee machine, iced coffee/cold brew machine, and steamer, frother and cold foam maker with dairy and non dairy settings. The hot/iced coffee settings range from a 6oz to 18oz and with temp settings for hot. Great capacity water reservoir as well. And the icing on the cake is that it is a beautiful machine that looks great on your counter. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Wife loves this thing. Starbucks is a thing of the past, I dont even drink coffee but it has saved my life! Just buy her or him one and let the fresh blends fill your house, absolutely recommend! From what she says, it can do it all. Stop wondering "will this be worth it?" say bye to your local barista and start finding your coffee beans, travel cups, and drizzles/flavors. You're welcome!

This machine produces espresso with conditions. The instructions state to tamp the coffee until the spring tamper touches the funnel. When doing so, the machine doesn't produce enough pressure to push water and subsequently coffee through. I've been tamping lighter and that helps most of the time. The auto frother works extremely well, which is the only reason this is a 4 instead of 5 stars.

I love this coffee maker. It’s the best I’ve ever had. I love the grinder Senses what setting to put the coffee grind on and perfectly meters The amount of coffee you need. The tamper is solid and heavy for packing the coffee. The extraction process is great, and then the steam function is awesome with the self swirling feature in the bottom of the cup. Perfect for putting your mocha powder in with your milk for a mocha that’s so easy to make. Then once you push the steam rod down itself purges, I’ve never had better tasting coffee from.

Love the features The Machine works Great and I love the the coffee it makes. I have stopped Going Starbucks's since I purchased your machine!

I was skeptical at first, after trying another semi-automatic espresso machines, they felt flimsy, low build quality and what’s most important the brew quality was disappointing, I’ve owned Ninja appliances for years now, but somehow didn’t think they could also have a espresso machine in their product lineup, after enough time to check pros and cons, I can honestly say, if you want a good quality espresso without the hassle and time consuming process the purists or more experienced baristas consider a must have, this is the one for you, straightforward process, fast and clean, also giving you the versatility to create cappuccinos, lattes, or just “lungos” (americanos).

It is one of the best-purchased products lately. Easy to use, great build, and sexy machine. :-)

I would give this more stars if I could. I previously purchased a machine that was 2X more than this. It took me a week to get my coffee right. This machine was perfect right out of the box. I absolutely love it. So easy to use. Perfect drinks every time. Highly recommend. Ninja doesn't disappoint on this one.

So far it meets my expectations. I love drinking iced quad espressos daily but it was becoming a hassle to drive to Starbucks everyday for one. I had tried other espresso machines (breville, delonghi) but I had no patience in dialing in my coffee beans. This machine takes the guess work and after 2-3 runs with the same coffee beans I was able to get a decent puck. Something I had no patience achieving with the completely manual espresso machine. For me the PROS: • dials in coffee for me • it makes cold pressed espresso • drip coffee • froths for me (hot and cold) Cons for others: • no manual option for frothing • the frothing pitcher isn’t suitable for latte art.

Obsessed with the Ninja Luxe Café Espresso machine. Hot or iced, it nails it every time. Super easy to use, sleek design, and the coffee tastes amazing. Total game changer. 5 stars!

Absolutely love this mahine. Great espresso machine for beginners. Definitely recommend.

So easy to use. Everything all in one~ makes being an at home barista easy!!! Coffee & espresso is delicious.

Highly recommend this coffee maker. Easy to use, great quality and best coffees we have ever had!
