Ninja - Luxe Café Pro Series 4 in 1 Espresso, Drip Coffee, Cold & Hot Brew, Tamper, Grinder, Scale, Hands-Free Frother - Stainless Steel

My husband and I are loving our Ninja Luxe 4-in-1 coffee machine! At first, we were considering a pod-based machine, but we realized we'd be spending more on pods than on coffee beans. Plus, we didn't want a super complicated machine since we don't have time in the mornings before work to be baristas. This Ninja is perfect! Easy to use, surprisingly quiet, fast, and makes delicious coffee every time. From classic brews to specialty drinks, it handles everything without any hassle. We're officially hooked and can't imagine our mornings without it! Highly recommend for anyone who wants great coffee without the fuss.

We had a nespresso vertuo that was ok and easy but after a trip to italy we decided we wanted something better. I did ALOT of research (online reviews toms coffee, kevs coffee, etc.), demos in store with multiple products: Breville, DeLonghi, jura, etc. and I decided to take a bit of a risk with this fairly new Ninja product due to the expected flexibility, ease of use, and the overall Ninja brand product performance. We have blender, cookware, and other items from this brand that has held up very well thus far; so I am expecting that this product will as well. However, my biggest concern is a 1 Yr warranty only with no ability to buy a longer warranty. This worries me, however I believe Ninja will stand up for their product and either fix issues or offer customers the ability to purchase a 3 year warranty. Now, for my experience over the last 2 weeks of using the Cafe Luxe Pro every day for 2 people. We mostly drink cappuccinos and lattes; we used filtered water as recommended. I prefer double shot while my wife prefers single shot. Pros: We started with double shots and the machine only required 3-4 attempts to dial into a really caramel color espresso that tastes fantastic. The grind, weight, and recommendations on grind are mostly on, but once we found the grind setting that worked for a double espresso, we left it alone no matter what the machine said. We are using illy classico beans which were a recommendation. Milk Frother was used on automatic vs. manual and has done a great job. We have used both whole and 2% milk and both work well for us. We are not into latte art and even if we were not sure the milk container is good for that. But to me that makes no real difference. The froth on middle setting works great for just the right consistency of froth milk that is at a great temperature. Portofilter/brew area heats up as well which is nice. Cleanup is really easy as the puck falls right out with one tap with very little wipe of grinds, pop the basket out and rinse and you are done. Froth wand needs a damp paper towel for quick wipe and auto purge works great. As other reviews/videos have mentioned lots of water is used and excess goes into drip tray so definitely remember to dump this when you see orange on the dial. Overall, after 2 weeks (which I know is a short time) we are extremely impressed with this machine Cons: Biggest "potential" con for me will be warranty of just 1 year if something happens. We will follow the cleaning and descaling; but with all my ninja products thus far I have not had issues; and I would expect and believe Ninja will do the right thing if there is some major issue. Another con is that going back and forth from double to single espresso shot is difficult and we have not gotten enough water to brew through the single shot low strength option. It is even less total brew volume than the double shot which makes no sense to me and I am hoping ninja can give me advice on this. Also, on the video review I saw ninja had added lights to the ES701 but I do not see any lights. Also, the review I saw showed me water filter tablets and device that came with the machine but ours did not have that. Ninja- was this a mistake? Why did I not receive one?

Definitely an investment, but it was everything I was looking for. Grind, Tamp, Pull, Foam all in one. If you are looking for a non-toxic espresso machine, there is ZERO plastic and ZERO PFAS in the inner housing chambers/water lines. This is very important for our health. Besides that - it literally does everything you would need to make the perfect coffee. Nothing better. GO NINJA!

Works very well. It was a bit daunting at first - getting the machine ready but instructions are clear and there are youtube videos to guide me through. Am very happy with it so far. The espresso produced with the barista assist tastes wonderful and I love the fact that I only need to tune 1 variable to tune in to my taste instead of the many parameters needed to produce good espresso with fully manual machines.

This is the perfect machine! I bought it knowing i could use for all our coffee favorites. Even had family over just for coffee. We are happy to have replaced our grinder, Keurig, coffee machine and iced coffee maker. Uses so much less space with just one great machine. .
