Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Ninja Luxe Premier has completely upgraded my mornings! It’s fast, easy to use, and makes café-quality drinks every time. The frother gives that perfect creamy foam, and cleanup is super quick. I’ve tried everything from iced coffees to lattes, and they all taste amazing. It looks great on the counter, runs quietly, and feels premium all around. Honestly, it saves me money and tastes better than what I used to buy at coffee shops. Highly recommend — this machine is a daily luxury I didn’t know I needed!

I see plenty of reviews with details on all the features so I'll skip that stuff. It definitely can make any coffee drink ever, the different ones I've tried all taste great, but that's not why I'm so happy and am begging my spouse to let me keep it. I love how this thing is built. Every time I dreamed about being able to make a drink that tasted as good as a coffee shop (espresso and some frothy milk), all the products felt like two options: 1. Metal and sturdy, but you need a PhD to get things just right; 2. Simple to use, but cheap plastic and impossible to clean. I also really hate "smart" devices and touch screens that have a million ways to break and annoy you. I want buttons and knobs, not some AI deciding to "add a hazelnut flavor splash based on my recent vibes" THANK YOU Ninja for building the coffee maker I wished every other coffee maker was. It's metal and sturdy, but it tells me exactly what to do, with BUTTONS AND KNOBS! It says how/when to clean things, then I can easily take those things apart and wash/clean them! I wish new cars were like this. I wish so many other new devices were like this. I appreciate the Shark/Ninja stuff I've bought before and how long they've all lasted. This coffee maker feels like it will last a long time too. And it better, because now I'm making perfect lattes every morning without understanding how and I'm spoiled.

Overall I am loving this machine. It takes away a lot of the guess work when making espresso so it’s great for a beginner like myself. The regular drip coffee, and cold brew are also really great. I probably will never go to Starbucks again

good product, makes very good coffee and easy to use

Ok, full disclosure. Don't expect this to be as good as a $1500+ machine. And true coffee snobs will know it's near impossible to have an all in one machine make the perfect espresso. But expect it to be good, consistent, and (so far) reliable. I wanted all of the above but something that I didn't have to put a ton of time into every time I wanted to make coffee. I know how to do it but I don't have the time to do it. There's a YMMV on the espresso piece I'll get into. I previously had a Chemex Ottomatic 2.0, Aeropress, Nespresso Creatista Plus (mainly for quick espresso drinks). And I've sold them all but the Aeropress for this. It looks great on the counter, I even had to call customer service because I damaged the portafilter sleeve and I had a dedicated VIP customer service agent that did a video call and sent me a replacement immediately free of charge. Starting in reverse. The "Barista Assist Technology" needs some work. At first, I was super unhappy with the espresso shots it was making even when following the 2 shot dial in instructions. The shots were bitter and had an aftertaste. I realized that it was recommending too fine of a grind for the beans so once I started experimenting with my own grind number the shots were much better and I could taste the flavor more. In short, I've dialed it in manually. That said, I wish the shots had more crema but they are good now that I've dialed it in. Everything else is amazing. It makes a very good cup of coffee, especially in the Rich setting. The frother is also really good, and I love the cold foam as well as the cold press options. It's easy to clean. Love the quad shot option. All in all, I'm very happy. I wish it made a better espresso but once you dial in your grind manually, they're good. Not $1500+ good, but very good for the price point and other features.

I am absolutely thrilled with this purchase. I have been living with it for over a month and have had no issues. The machine comes with excellent setup guides and how-to materials that make calibration and use simple. I was brewing within minutes! I really enjoy how ergonomic it is - that each accessory has a little home built intelligently into the machine, how easy it is to take it apart for cleaning, how much it does while also not taking up too much counter space. I haven't tried the cold brew yet, but the quality of drip coffee and espresso drinks are excellent. As a former barista, I thought I would miss the ability to foam milk (manually) on my own, but I really enjoy not having to manage that. The quality of foam is also great and it's amazing to not have to monitor if you step away as it knows when the right temperature is reached. Of course, there are all kinds of ways you can customize the settings - a deep dive on YouTube will show dozens of tutorials that get into the weeds of customizing the strength of espresso or the brew temperature but honestly, straight out of the box this thing delivers! I waited for months hoping on a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal but couldn't wait any longer and I believe it is worth the money. The number of Ninja appliances I have at home is growing and it's easy to see why, they are all great!

Bought this 3 weeks ago after getting tired of the work of my Breville expresso machine and too many appliances on my counter. Debated a while about getting it. Jumped in and I am so glad I got it. So easy to use. I don't need to make a pot of coffee and got tired in the past of the pod machines. This makes my expresso taste delicious without the work of all the adjustments with the other machine and I can make my individual cups of regular coffee too. Can choose what coffee beans or ground coffee I like and want to use. I have had NO issues with this. I had a regular Ninja coffee maker for YEARS and loved it and it finally died so wanted to try the combination of coffee maker and expresso in one machine without a pod and stick with Ninja brand.

I hope Luxe becomes a new product line from Ninja, because this espresso machine makes a great brew and has the fit and finish of much more expensive ones. Design wise, it has the elegance of classic chrome espresso machines with digital elements nicely blended in. The rotary dials and buttons have a solid stiffness to them and all of the metal elements have a sturdy weight and feel. Turning the portafilter all of the way into the locked position seems a little too stiff though. I know it should be tight, but I have to hold the machine down with one hand while I turn the portafilter handle with the other or else I’ll turn the whole machine. That’s really the only knock on it, but I’m hoping it’ll loosen up as I use it more and it breaks in. I love the integrated storage compartments for the tamper, funnel, basket and cleaning brush. It means I don’t need to find a special place to keep them and are therefore much less likely to get lost. But where this machine really shines is the coffee (and auto frother!). BREWS The espresso is strong and flavorful with options for a single, quad, and cold-pressed. It produces a nice crema with Lavazza espresso beans, but those aren’t my favorite beans so I’m looking forward to trying others. The bean hopper is removable for easy cleaning and it makes it easy to dump and swap out the beans early if I really wanted to. On the coffee end of the spectrum the brews available are classic, rich, over ice, and cold brew. I especially like the cold brew during this heatwave which goes great over ice. There’s even a cold frothing option which works astoundingly well and adds a great texture over an iced cold brew. I will warn you that while the coffee and espresso is outstanding, be prepared to go through beans quickly. Apparently it takes a lot of grounds to make a quality brew, but it’s well worth it. If you like your cappuccinos or lattes, or just foam, you’ll appreciate the milk jug and auto frother. Even the jug itself has some thought put into it with grooves on the inside and outside that measures ounces and recommendations for cappuccino or latte. Put it into the machine, select between dairy or non-dairy, your desired froth level and press start. A vortex immediately begins in the jug and in about a minute it whips up the perfect froth. No longer am I working the steamer wand pretending like I know what I’m doing. No, this thing froths. And as much as I used to tease people about needing foam in their coffee, it really does make it better. Going out for coffee feels pointless now and the money saved from those trips will probably offset the cost of this machine within a year. FEATURES Ninja calls this a 3-in-1 machine, because it brews espresso, coffee, and cold brew but it actually does a bit more. It has a removable bean hopper and burr grinder for that freshly ground taste. There’s a funnel you put on the portafilter and rest the whole thing in a cradle that automatically senses which basket you’re using (double or luxe) and recommends what grind size to use based on your chosen brew. The instructions are funny, because Ninja seemingly takes their coffee so seriously that they recommend throwing out the first 2 espressos made because they were calibration brews. I love it. But despite having digital elements and “Barista Assist Technology” this isn’t a fully automatic one touch espresso machine. You still need to tamp the grounds in the portafilter for an espresso, or keep it loose and level for coffee or cold brews. But overall, as long as you’re remotely tech friendly it should be a pretty easy machine to use. The screen even tells you which basket (double or luxe) to use for the brew chosen so I don’t need to reference a manual. Locking the portafilter into place takes a bit of effort, but I’m hoping it gets easier as it breaks in. Aside from selecting between espresso, coffee, and cold brew, there’s also a few customization options like brew temperature, brew strength, and milk temperature for the frother. There’s also dedicated buttons for descale and cleaning which should make maintenance a breeze. OVERALL I highly recommend this machine if you like coffee. It’s not a one touch espresso machine, but it’s simple enough to use and makes an impressive brew. Ninja has taken their fit and finish to another level with the Luxe Café and I sincerely hope this is a sign of things to come. It’s an impressive machine and now a beloved friend. I highly recommend this machine if you’re in the market. PROS - Delicious espresso and coffee - Makes a quick cold brew - Convenient auto frother - Adjustable bean grinder - Easy to find clean and descale modes for maintenance - High end fit and finish - Integrated accessories storage - Well thought out design - Impresses relatives CONS - Portafilter to group head connection too stiff - Need to turn machine off/on to change brew style after grinding beans - Sooooo many beans

So having the Ninja & Delonghi I can compare the 2 as in-site. The Ninja Luxe is a great looking quality machine. The grinding process is awesome with its bean detection. Process is a little more as you need to be a little more hands on vs Delonghi, but not a big deal. Ninja offers bigger sizes as with Delonghi you have to repeat options to make more coffee etc. Temp is super hot w/ Luxe. I haven’t tried the Froth process yet but guessing it’s great as well- Delonghi does make easy great Froth beverages & does it automatically. Delonghi is self cleaning as Luxe needs a little wipe down. Both machines are good looking w/ 2 different looks- see pic. I honestly like the look of Ninja. Pros: ( ninja vs Evo) -can see beans in hopper - grinding aspect -temp Delonghi (vs Luxe) - easy clean up, clean catch trays for water / pucks every few days ( depends on use) -self cleans nozzles, but uses more water. -ease of use after start up press button ( if settings are set) -Frother is easy on / off & can save in bottle what you don’t use that day ( self cleans) Cons: - Ninja takes a little more to clean - get Errors w/ Delonghi which is sometimes annoying- unplug & they go away. -Delonghi pucks drop into holder awkwardly so sometimes error says tray “full” fault when there are only 4 pucks in catch. Overall both units are great. Delonghi w/ frother is $200 more. Looks, I like the Ninja. Overall both do something great. As a coffee drinker I favor the Luxe because of taste & size options.

CUSTOMIZABLE DRINKS AT HOME!!! No more complicating your order at the coffee shop! It’s so easy to make hot or iced coffee drinks at home with this Ninjaluxe Espresso machine. It’s so amazing it takes out the guesswork of making espresso! Your machine will tell you exactly at what grind level to put it at based on freshness of espresso beans. Makes either a double shot or has the attachment for a QUAD shot. Yum!! Included in the box are the machine, attachments, descale tablets, user manual and a recipe book!

While I have over 10 years of working/creating espresso drinks on commercial grade espresso machines, my wife did not. This unit is a great compromise for our combined experience and I find it makes excellent espresso (we use it to make espresso about 95% of the time). We both find the interface appealing and easy to use. Now, we both can enjoy the specialty coffees we love in a way we couldn't do it at home previously. The resulting product is comparable to high end espresso shops and well worth the money.

Very user friendly and works better than expected. Daily use and able to customize drinks better than going to a coffee shop. I have already got my monies worth.

Great coffee maker! This product exceeds my expectations for what I thought it could achieve. Very consistent and easy to use. The portafilter is a bit tight at first.

This has been a wonderful machine. It is so easy to use and does exactly what it says it does. Yes, I would recommend this machine to anyone. And I have had mine for almost a year before writing this review.

Amazing coffee maker this thing does it all! Froth is amazing not a commercial grade but works well, grinder also the same. expresso comes out amazing!

Starbucks who????!!!! Coffee roaster runs???!!! Admittedly, I'm a bit of a coffee snob (Navy/Cop dad - it's written in my DNA)... Dad drank sludge - I was stubbornly determined to make my caffeine addiction take a different path... It happens... When my brother-in-law suggested this machine, I thought what the heck.. That's 2mos of avoiding those runs and it's paid for... Christmas present for hubby... new year's resolution... blah, blah, blah... Here's the kicker - We save nothing!!! Everybody in the house loves it so much, I still have to make the coffee roaster runs quite frequently for the fresh beans... Worth it!!! The coffees are so smoothe and rich with this machine... Everything from cold brew to espressos, to lattes and cappuccinos... delicate where it needs to be and bold when that punch is needed... Better than barista quality! This is THE ONE! Easy to use perfection!

I'm not an espresso hobbiest, so I can't speak to the quality of espresso this machine makes compared to others. I am however, someone who was buying coffee from a coffee shop several times a week because espresso drinks are my favorite treat and drip coffee just doesn't always do it for me. If you're like me, and you're looking for something that will allow you to make coffee shop quality coffee at home, this machine is it! It's simple to set up, simple to use, and all of the functions work great! I've made latte's, cappuccinos, regular hot and iced coffee, cold brew with flavored cold foam, and every drink I make turns out delicious. I highly recommend that you use high quality beans and milk because your coffee will only be as good as your ingredients, but if you want to cut back on trips to the coffee shop, this will do it for you! I absolutely love this machine!

I use this almost every day! I love Starbucks and Dunkin but I am 10 miles away, and at $7+ per drink it’s unsustainable to get a daily drink. I can make one (or more) every day with this machine and not even think twice about the cost! I mainly use the double espresso and cold brew. But my mom said the drip coffee tastes good. I have also used the nondairy cold foam function and it’s really fun and delicious. I have tried a separate grinder and espresso machine and I could never figure it out to make it taste good. But somehow with this smart machine it’s always perfect.

Very easy to use and makes the perfect coffee or espresso every time. It dials in exactly how much to grind and you just set it to match the number and hit the button, perfect espresso.

We love it! Super easy to use and so many functions. Looks sleek and nice on our countertop. Easy to clean and use!
