I absolutely LOVE my Ninja Luxe Coffee Maker. I’ve had quite a few coffee machines over the years, and this one is hands-down my favorite. It makes rich, smooth, coffeehouse-quality coffee right at home. The variety of brew options is amazing — whether I want a classic cup, a stronger brew, or something more specialty-style, it delivers every time. The flavor is bold without being bitter, and the temperature is perfect. I also love how sleek and modern it looks on my counter — it feels high-end without the crazy price tag. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and consistent every single morning (which matters when you’re not fully awake yet 😅). If you’re on the fence — get it. It’s worth it. Best coffee investment I’ve made in a long time! ☕️💛 as you can see. I added a little glass coffee pot that did not come with it and it’s perfect! Read more
As my title says, it took me 3 tries to become adept at making the perfect latte, and the first didn’t count as you’re supposed to dispose of that one anyway. I’ll be honest, I was worried about becoming an amateur barista thinking the instructions for setup and brewing might go over my head. On the contrary, between the setup instruction manual and the step by step instructions through the BILT app (just scan the QR code and it’ll walk you through this part), it was quite easy to get going. In less than an hour, I had the machine setup and had brewed myself a perfect store quality caramel latte. The stainless steel design looks great and the unit itself appears to be quite durable. A sturdy design with enough weight behind it to keep it easily in place. I’m impressed with the various functions and choices available. It came with a basic recipe book that included various types of recipes, including cold brews. This lovely machine also makes an amazing cup of hot cocoa, for which I used a thick froth setting for the milk (Lactaid works just as well as regular milk, as I’ve become lactose intolerant over the last decade). I haven’t yet purchased a separate knock box for the coffee grounds, so until I do, I have an empty coffee can I keep under my sink for proper disposal. The coffee grounds come out with just a light tap. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. I’ve always been a fan of Ninja products, and this machine is no exception. The Ninja Luxe Café 3-in-1 machine makes it easy to become an amateur barista in no time. As someone who spends roughly $65-$85 a month on retail coffee shops, this machine will pay for itself quickly. Read more
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! Read more
This is a great machine. We've been searching a few years, found this machine that's not $600 or more and I love it. It was a gift for a special day from my husband. If you are looking to buy a great espresso, cold brew, and regular coffee drip too!, for a gift this is it. It grinds, tells you what the recommendations are, programs itself to know what you like, and cleans itself. It comes with the utensils and booklet & easy to do recipes. It does not come w/ the old grinds box but they have that too. Oh & comes with a topper. If you take care of this machine and do what it says, you will have this a long time. The company stands behind this product which is a plus. I still have my Keurig for the need to get ready in a hurry mornings but love the Ninja for that espresso. I give this machine 5 stars for price, what it can do and quality. Read more
