Back in 2014, a friend recommended that I invest in a Breville Barista. At the time it was a $799 machine, but I got it on sale for $699. It turned out to be one of the best purchases I ever made. I loved that machine for years. It was solid, well-built, and made a good cup of coffee. But after a decade of daily use, I think we finally wore it out. It started having issues and, between the wear and tear, so I pulled the plug about a month ago. When I started browsing Amazon to see what coffee machines are going for these days, I stumbled across the Ninja. I liked the way looked, had great features, and the price was surprisingly good. I ordered it and it showed up overnight. It's a tank! It's beautifully finished, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. Honestly, it feels like it should cost twice as much. It even asks you to test your water hardness so it can adjust itself to brew the perfect cup. I spent some time setting it up last night but didn’t finish. This morning, I dialed in the recommended grind for my Lavazza organic beans and made my first cup. This is hands down the best cup of coffee I’ve ever made at home! I’m beyond impressed! It looks amazing on my counter, feels like a luxury machine, and I can already tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with it for years to come. I highly recommend!

We’re pretty new at the machine and frankly had a hard time finding good information online so we went for itand bought one. Once you put it together and run it a few times it quickly starts to be very easy to sue. My only complaint would be that nothing is made fast. It’s definitely more slow brew style but also well worth the extra few minutes. Everyone in my house has a favorite drink they make.

I love it, it is so cool, I’m not professional, it helps you with the grind for your coffee beans.It is brewing all types of coffee, my wife is happy she told me it is the best investment for long term because now she doesn’t need to buy Starbucks coffee.I love the quality, I love the taste.It is a real espresso, it is a tasty cold brew.And it helps you with cream, you just need to put milk in there

WOW WOW BEST PURCHASE EVER!! Not the easiest to learn at first BUT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! Called and asked some questions and the customer service was amazing, she walked me through everything step by step. Starbucks has nothing on what I can now do at home easily. From grinding expresso beans/coffee beans to hot steamed frothy heavy cream (my favorite not one coffee place uses) to a cold foam and SO much more! This machine is a dream I’ve been waiting for come true. I have paid $125/140 for plain old Ninjas so this was well worth its cost and has paid for itself.

I admit that once upon a time, I chased the dragon. I owned progressively more expensive grinders and espresso machines and pour-over machines...at some point, I gave up chasing fantasies and bought the Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier. I don't give five star reviews unless something changes my life.My friends, welcome to a five star review of the Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier.Every day, I awaken at 5am to get ready for my day. One of the very first things I do is make my first double-shot oat milk latte. Not every day, but often, a second cup comes around 9am. If I was paying someone, I'd be broke, and if I was doing what I used to, that would be 30 minutes. Now, it's ensuring there's water in the reservoir, beans in the hopper, and the pitcher filled with oat milk and in place in the foaming station. Then I push one button to get a perfect 18g of beans ground at the optimal setting per the system's brains - I do have to WDT, level, and tamp, as well as putting the portafilter in the unit. Then I push two buttons and walk away. A short three minutes or so later, I return to a perfectly pulled double-shot and perfectly foamed oat milk. All I have to do is assemble. While there have been a few times where I forgot to put the glass under the portafilter, this is otherwise so easy you can do it sleepwalking.So, now I get my one to two cups of coffee a day, at least as good as I'll get at the drive through run by teenagers with FAR too much energy for 5am, and while it wasn't cheap, if I simply add up all the cups I've had since I got it, it's saved me money already.Good coffee requiring barely any brains for well under $600 is a steal. SO much so that many more influential reviewers have indicated it's a shot across the bow of high-priced semi-automatic espresso machines. For 66% of the price of the least expensive alternative semi-automatic machines, the Ninja Luxe Cafe simply smokes the competition. And if you don't believe me, go research it. You'll find even James Hoffman grudgingly admires this machine.Simply put, coffee shop quality espresso drinks, requiring very little effort, making the indulgence less indulgent? Yes, please. I smile every damn day when I get my coffee!

I have had a breville non grinder espresso machine for the last eight years and this one makes life much simpler. I love it though it does have different rythms to some degree. One thing which keeps it from 5 stars from me is the frothing tends to froth only at the bottom and does not make a smooth, uniform froth. To resolve that one minor thing I have ordered a separate battery operated frother with the same sort of device that is on the bottom but which can add to the frothing at the top when the machine frothing is done. Otherwise I like the convenience and it makes nice espresso which making lattes and cappucino's is my only interest. No more separate grinder.

The BEST coffee machine I’ve ever had! It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and perfect for making iced coffee in the summer. I normally don’t leave comments unless something is either super good or horribly bad—but Ninja definitely does an amazing job. I originally bought it as a birthday gift for my husband in March, but I absolutely fell in love with it myself. I’ve even recommended it to my friends!
