I absolutely love my machine. Easy to use and clean only thing that I’m not a fan of is how hard it is to get the grind right and to keep it consistent. But it’s been a very pleasant experience with my machine and I use it 2-3 times a day because it’s so addictive.

Bought this around Black Friday, absolutely love this thing. It makes great espresso, and I don't need to be a pro constantly re-testing pulls and weights etc with new beans, after a shot or two it can dial it in for me. And also, the cold foam attachment works so well, makes amazing cold foam for my drinks. I'd highly recommend this unit, could not be happier.

I have been asking my husband 4 this 4 🎄. But he got it 4 me early. I love my Ninja Espresso machine. I have used it everyday and will continue 2 use it. The price was fair and it is well built. I have no issues with it since I have been blessed 2 have it. I want 2 thank Ninja 4 a great machine. I also want 2 thank my amazing husband who wanted 2 give it 2 me B4 Christmas.

I bought a Ninja Café Lux 601 a year ago, it changed my life. I am the only coffee drinker in my house and it is perfect for me. I was using a Nespresso system, but I really wanted to upgrade my skill, for example be able to manually steam my milk, which this unit will do if you read the manual a bit. I learned about coffee balance, found a great local coffee roaster, who might just be my new best friend. I gather, the newer Ninja models are even easier to use, but I get to enjoy the aroma of fresh ground coffee before I make my puck and that is a feature that seems to me, would be sacrificed. LOL. Maybe they could put in a very slow fan that would waft the aroma into the room on their new system, turn on after the grind a before you use the lever to compress the puck. But now I am being fancy-full. Total reliability with daily use. Recommend.

I bought it for my wife for Christmas . We both love it except we cant use it before we go to work without waking up the whole house because the bean grinder is so loud. It would nice to be able to make a cup of coffee before work instead of having to buy a cup. Other than the grinder being loud its a nice machine and would be 5 stars instead of 3.

The machine is beautiful and I am still excited to use it! BUT, I cannot turn the portafilter. I mean CAN NOT. I was giving it all I had, afraid I was about to break the whole machine! The video said there would be some resistance.. Okay, right. Understood. I workout and am not frail by any means. There is something definitely wrong here.

Obsessed with this machine ~ I had a Breville for years and wanted an upgrade . I almost didn't buy this because I wanted a more “experienced coffee machine company” this machine is above and beyond my Breville ! Incredibly user friendly , pours perfect espresso everytime and the ability to create hot or cold foam makes making my latte SO much more fun

I bought this item 1 months ago and overall its good. Did hope for hotter coffee and milk. Would be great to consider this for future machines will offer hotter coffee and milk. As i did read more posts on the temperature and the option for one espresso shot.

From a functional standpoint, the machine performs well and offers good value in terms of features and capability. Its strongest attributes include the tare-based grinding function and the closed-loop feedback system that adjusts the grind setting to achieve consistent extraction by weight. Additional standout features include the ability to prepare cold coffee extractions and the ease of producing a range of milk textures—from flat milk and flat white to fully automatic cold foam. However, the product description does not clearly communicate that the machine’s construction is predominantly plastic. In contrast to the standard base model, which is clad in thin stainless steel, this version replaces nearly all visible stainless-steel components with plastic. This difference was a significant disappointment. Given the higher price point, the expectation would reasonably be for painted or anodized metal surfaces rather than plastic. While it is understood that material choices may be driven by manufacturing cost considerations, greater transparency is needed. Customers upgrading from the standard model to this version should be clearly informed that, despite the added cost and expanded functionality, the machine is primarily plastic in construction. If you asked me what I would have done - I would have paid less for the standard model as a recommendation.

Truly the best purchase I have made. I was a frequent coffee shop visitor and haven't gone since I got this espresso machine. I was slightly nervous about operating the machine, but the guided steps and videos made it so simple. It makes the best iced lattes. The cleanup is super easy.
