I bought this about a month ago. I have used it nearly everyday since, and even got my wife into espressos with it! I rave about it to all my friends and family. This machine is absolutely perfect if you are someone who has always wanted to delve into the world of true espresso making, cappuccino, flat whites, etc but were a little overwhelmed or intimidated by all the ratios, weights, scales, grinding, etc. This takes the guesswork out while still leaving a bit of room with customization. It makes espresso making extremely accessible with intuitive, easy to understand instructions and processes. Enough to make you feel like you had a legitimate role in making your drink (tamping, adjusting the porta filter, utilizing the steam wand) but not leaving you to spend a clueless 25 minutes making a drink you're not sure you will enjoy. It is one of my favorite purchases ever, and an appliance I am proud to show off to guests and let them try a hand at espresso making!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I opened the box, I was a bit worried that the machine would be too complicated to use. However, after going through the instructions, I found it to be extremely easy and intuitive. The product is also designed with built-in storage for all of the accessories, which i appreciated. I love that I can make either Espresso or coffee and how many options there are for foam. I can honestly say this made the best cup of coffee I ever made at home! Absolutely recommend!

I bought this machine as a Christmas gift to myself and I am so happy I did. The quality of coffee from this machine has me in awe everyday. It's up to par and goes toe to toe with my local coffee shops. I use the frother to froth cold temp dairy milk. I only drink cold/iced coffee beverages and I must admit, the frother having a cold setting is grand. This is a money saving great tasting coffee machine. Ninja hit it out the park with this one.

Great coffee maker I love that is compact and it's a perfect combination regular coffee and espresso the only downside it doesn't heat up my milk as hot as I want it so I have to put it in twice with a higher setting of froth still does not achieve it my last Breville did a perfect espresso. I think this machine lacks and heat and pressure. China you're doing a Great job you almost perfected it keep up the good work

I purchased this for my wife for her birthday. She enjoys it so far but I on the other hand... My tastes are a large volume of caffeine, so I like multiple cups to satisfy my need (want). The espresso options are high density coffee, which I enjoy, but the coffee options are watered down coffee. Like a k-pod and too much water. So when making multiple cups of high density it takes much longer than traditional drip makers. And for some unknown reason we're still troubleshooting, when our's grinds it prematurely fills the port filter so we get little grinds. Or it clogs. We haven't figured out why. Same brand, same flavor of bean, but new bag of a previous bean we tried and had no issues. I think maybe the oil content in the bean is clogging the grinder but I'm not sure. We've stripped it down and cleaned and dried it twice but same issue. We use the cleaning brush between each grind while it brews and sometimes still get this issue. So if you aren't paying attention to your machine it'll clog and you'll spend an hour or so cleaning when all you want is a cup of coffee before work. Having learned this the hard way I've been forced to start my day earlier to accommodate the clogging grinder. The making of multiple cups espresso since the coffee is watered down. And I'm not sure if it's the coffee being too dense for the machine to "push" water through the grinds; the drip tray fills up every few cups. Not sure if it's from a self cleaning purge after brewing a cup or if it's water trapped in the cycle that can't push through the port filter so it cycles down to the drip tray. Be prepared to empty daily and clean daily. It's a learning curve that's for sure. I almost regret getting rid of the drip we had. It's not a bad machine. Very user friendly. It's only been a couple weeks. I'm sure I'll get used to it. We will learn more about bean choices and what we're doing wrong and it'll get easier. But as of now this is what we're facing.

This machine does everything I expected and more. Fresh ground tastes so much better and the smell in the morning! Milk frofting works well on all settings. We are able to do any type of coffee depending on our desire. Get this it is easy to do the daily cleaning! At this price point it is the best on the market. Gland we choose this for our home.

The first couple of days we spent watching videos and learning how to use it but after that it is so easy to use. We love making our espresso in the morning with my frothed cream. So good! I choose the trace blue color and love the way it looks in my kitchen.

Always I want a espresso machine, but all are really expensive and I don't found any one impressed me, but when I saw the ninja brand I'm in love... Is these best, easy and simple use, this coffee machine has everything, and every details impress me. The plant base milk detail in the frother is awesome for me. The coffee machine, is the coffee machine for my dreams.

Absolutely in love! I enjoy nice simple latte most days but in the summer I also love a good iced coffee. It is so easy to switch between different drinks and it dials in new beans very quickly! I haven't had bad cup of coffee yet. I am coming from a different popular home espresso machine and the Ninja is so much easy and quicker. The coffee tastes just as good if not better!! Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this product it was just magnificent, coffee lovers need this! I love the excellent espresso and iced coffee this makes makes both hot and cold foam, so many possibilities. I am in love with my ninja lux espresso machine. It adds an elite touch to the kitchen.
