Ninja Luxe Caf 3-in-1 Espresso Drip Coffee and Cold Brew Machine Intergrated Coffee Grinder Milk Frother Assisted Tamper

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

Favorite and easy to navigate and figure out how to use. Makes great coffee and for the most part easy to clean! No regrets Read more

Makes a great cup of coffee, easy to use, easy to clean, and looks great. Although I love my coffee, this machine makes the best hot chocolate with the frother. Read more

I was very nervous about buying an all-in-one product as there is a lot that can go wrong ... for example if the grinder fails, does the whole unit stop working? So I went into this with some skepticism. Ive had this thing since Feb, so about 6 months, and I cant rave enough. I was just cleaning it and told the Mrs that this may be the best purchase we've made in years. I am the kind of person that takes really good care of my things, so I do the biweekly cleaning and maintenence that a lot of people would not do, but even so I am absolutely AMAZED at the quality of the build and how consistently perfect the shots taste, especially after 6 months. Ive come to to appreciate the ease of use and consistency so much that I now skoff at videos describing great techniques for making espresso. Ive even tried deviating from the recommended grind values only to have the shots come out wrong and always go back to the grind the machine suggests. The ONLY minor issue ive had is that the little float to let you know the drain is full is getting stuck and doesnt always notify you that its full, so extra care is needed when cleaning this to ensure it can lift properly without friction. I generally dump the water as I use it so it doesnt become a problem, but this thing gets used 4x to 6x a day (by several people) and its absolutely held up. The little rubber gasket that you unscrew a thing to access and remove to clean is also still in perfect shape. Very good quality product. We have really good water here (not very hard) so ive only had to descale it once so far ... so take that into consideration. The frother is fantastic, particularly with cold foam, and I love that you can use it in 'manual mode' if you desire, but Ive never had to as the automatic setting work great. 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
