I got this machine a couple weeks ago and I am LOVING it! It's quiet, it's easy, and it makes great coffees! It really feels like Ninja thought of just about everything with this machine. I particularly like the grind settings that updates it's recommendation as I use the machine and change what I'm making. The frother is also fantastic and I love that I don't have to do anything with it, just set the jug underneath! This honestly makes my mornings better because I feel like I'm getting spoiled with a coffee shop latte while still in my pajamas. Would 100% recommend!

Disappointed that cheap plastic was used. It cheapens the design / overall look. Its not an impulse purchase at the high price. Stick to metal and stainless steel. I have my own mini ninja kitchen with many of your appliances and noticed that the quality of your products are using more and more plastic parts. Ended up returning.

I purchased in August 2024. The machine works decent, but I have found the water container leaking once and the dosing funnel just crumbled when I lifted it off the portafilter. For the price of the machine, the dosing funnel should be of better quality since it's necessary to use the grinder. As it stands, I'm not sure that I could recommend it. To top it off, you order the replacement filter and the shipping cost is almost double the part, evidently Ninja new it would break and just wanted to make more money on the back end.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use after following the directions and scanning the QR codes for videos. Intimidating at first but a few brews in and I’m trying all kinds of different drinks. Setup and Use The pieces and parts were intimidating at first because you’re not sure what everything is and how to use it. My wife and I spent about 30 minutes cleaning the parts and reading through some of the instructions. I like the QR codes you can scan for instructional videos. There’s an instruction manual as well if that’s your preference. Each part has a place on the machine and there’s some included cleaning supplies in a small box that I stashed away for future use. After running a rinse, I was ready for the first use. There are included test strips to test your water hardness. You then use the results from the test to adjust the water hardness setting on your Café Premier Espresso machine. The Espresso function needs a few cycles of whatever bean you’re using to learn your bean, find the perfect grind for the perfect espresso. After making the adjustments, you can just drink the test brews or dump it and make a third “optimized” espresso. Modes and Results Like it says in the description, you can do Espresso, Coffee, and Cold Brew. We started off with the espresso, double shot. You simply load in the correct basket (it can sense which one is loaded in and provide the correct options). You put the filter attachment onto the portafilter that helps with keeping the coffee grounds from going everywhere. With your favorite coffee beans loaded, select the recommended ground size for your espresso and press grind. I was happy to hear the grinder isn’t obnoxiously loud like my previous stand-alone grinder. Remove the grinder filter and use the tamper to press the grounds. There’s a built-in spring to let you know when you’ve applied the perfect amount of pressure. Load the portafilter into the machine and turn the handle. It carries some resistance so twist hard. As long as it’s moving, you’re likely doing it right. Press start brewing and you’ll watch the espresso pour out of the portafilter into your cup. If you like drip coffee, it can do that too. Much of the process is the same except you use the larger filter basket and avoid the tamper after grinding. Select normal, rich, over ice, or cold brew, depending on your preference, and the cup size. It goes up to 18oz from 6oz. It’ll grind the appropriate amount of beans based on your cup size setting. Load it in like you would the espresso and press brew. If you’re brewing cold coffee, it may take a bit longer, but it doesn’t take long for hot to brew. Finally, if you want to make delicious drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, cold foams, there’s a frother and steam wand to help you do that. Simply remove the cup and pull out the wand. Use the included book with recipe recommendations to pour the amount of cream or milk needed for the drink. Place the cup back into the machine with the wand inserted into the milk. Select the froth level and start the process. Through the wand, steam will be injected into the milk to get it to the correct temperature and consistency while the whisk in the bottom does the frothing. It’ll let you know when it’s done, just remove the cup (the wand will extend out with it) and pour your desired amount. Simply use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the wand and push it back into place (without the cup). The automatic purge system will clean out the wand into the drip tray. Cleaning and Storage Cleaning is easy. There are built in cleaning functions like simply running a cycle with a empty cup underneath and the auto purge for the frother steam wand. Many of the parts are high quality stainless and dish washer safe. Refer to the manual for which parts can be washed. The espresso machine will also let you know when it’s time to run a clean cycle by flashing “clean” on the display. It uses water and a drip tray to flush out the system. I have yet to run a cleaning cycle, but there are instructions on how to do so in the manual. As far as where you keep all the accessories? Well, they have storage places for every item (outside of descaler and cleaning tablets). There’s a place for the filter baskets, cleaning disk, and brush on the right and you can store the tamper and grinder filter on the left. This way you don’t lose any parts, and everything is conveniently right there for use. Taste and Final Thoughts Taste is going to be subjective, depending on what kind of beans you use and the drinks you make. I find the espresso’s made from my medium roast beans to be very tasty and rich. I’m not huge on non-flavored lattes or cappuccinos. I prefer a touch of vanilla, caramel, or chocolate. Mochas are my favorite, and I can’t wait to find the perfect recipe. If you prefer a guided hand, there’s an included guided barista manual that will help you make all different types of flavored drinks. The recipes are easy to follow and being able to make your own espresso shots opens the door for a ton of different drink types I couldn’t make before. This is a large machine but compared to other espresso machine’s I’ve seen available for purchase; Ninja did a great job condensing all these functions into a compact design. A lot of the machine and its parts are stainless. It does a lot for the curb appeal for my kitchen which I can appreciate. I am a bit disappointed there’s no functionality for brewing teas. With the increased popularity of a different variety of tea, I would like to rid myself of my other brewer that does handle both the bean and the leaf. I may eventually try and get away with testing some teas in this machine, but I don’t want to do anything that may damage or ruin the integrity of the machine, so for now, I’ll be hanging on to my old combo unit. If you’re looking to expand your home barista arsenal to something more than flavored creamers in your drip coffee, and maybe save some money from hitting your local coffee shop every day, you should be interested in this product. If you’ve collected a few different devices and are looking to condense it all into one package, this will check that box too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow… simply wow! This Luxe Cafe Premier Series by Ninja is a beauty! It’s easy to setup and use. I like how fresh and rich my coffee tastes after using this. I absolutely love how expressos taste after making them with this. They’re delicious. Compared with coffee and expressos bought in store, I would say they taste just as delicious when made from this machine. I love the look and quality of this machine. The machine is a little heavy but that is a good thing so no one can knock it over. :-)

I bought this a few weeks ago for my daughter as her house warming gift. They are amazed by it. They love the functionality, options and coffee made by it. I am Glad they are pleased by it. I will see how it continues to work in the future and then I will update my review.

I had been reading about the Ninja Luxe for awhile. We went around to MANY stores, looked on line and always found other stuff offered. I finally went directly to the company direct and so glad we did. This Ninja Luxe is simply SMART and AMAZING! It really does take the guesswork out of being a true Barista! The videos were so simple to follow and showed every step. We make everything from a wonderful tasting cup of coffee, to an Iced Carmel Macchiato and can add beautiful thin or thick frothing and lots more all in our very own kitchen. We are enjoying this Ninja Luxe everyday.

Bought this and used it at a work lunch. Everyone loved it. Even a former barista was impressed with the quality. Being able to set the water hardness level, and its ability to dial its self in. I think 3 other people were planning on buying by the end. No complaints. It took the heavy use well. A few folks were nervous to use it is pretty simple. Seems pricey at first but for what it does it’s really a deal.

I love this machine... upgraded from a Nespresso machine that I used for a decade. coffee is incredible with great consistency and crema. the machine is beautiful. I'm two weeks in and just how it holds up over time. this will give the home espresso market a run for it's money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to receive this espresso machine. I’ve only had it for a little while, and so need some more time to really go through all the brewing options correctly, but as someone who wants to a) have a variety of coffee beverages and b) learn how to experiment with them at home, I think this is a great product to do so. It came in a big box but is not as overpowering on my countertop as I would’ve expected and still manages to look very compact, especially considering that it combines several products into one - not having a separate grinder and frother cluttered around this is a definite plus. The built-in scale is a bonus - I never actually used to weigh out my grounds, so I appreciate getting the benefit of the correct amount without having to do it myself, and I did notice that it pours a more flavorful espresso that way (who knew?). I also like that this prevents me from messing up my drip coffee. I do like the milk frother and have been so happy to be able to make and add cold foam to my drinks. My husband does say the there’s more bubbles in the foam than there should be but I think that’s more to do with my learning curve with this machine than with the product itself, although I will see how it goes over time. I’m deducting a point because I’ve previously been using an espresso machine that had an attached drip coffee pot, which was a great alternative for when we needed to make a larger amount of coffee quickly. This only makes one cup of drip coffee at a time, which is great for not wasting coffee, but not a good option for entertaining or being efficient. I’ll need to get a separate drip coffee pot regardless. Also, while it does take most of the guesswork out like it says, I still find myself taking more time up front to figure everything out. I really, really appreciate all of the guides Ninja provided for this product however - it’s definitely more than other companies have provided and going through them has actually been helpful. I’ll update this review once I’m more comfortable with the machine and have gone through all of the settings and options fully.
