Simple set up and easy to use. The only thing is I've only had it for 2 weeks and I am constantly getting the add water symbol and even though it is filled at the maximum. Also when I use the luxe filter, I lose a good amount of coffee grounds because it falls out from the side of the funnel. I feel like it is wasting my beans.

I am enjoying this machine and have comments. It was well packaged and mostly recyclable except for 2 large styrofoam blocks. Unpacking and set up was easy. The espresso machine is attractive. Initial preparation prior to first use was simple. The water reservoir is substantial and easy to fill without removing it from the machine. Removing the bean hopper is straightforward. This machine has unique features such as weighing the portafilter, funnel and beans prior to starting the grind (setting suggested depending on the selected brew). So far I have made drip coffee and cappuccinos multiple times and have been pleased with the results. I’ve been experimenting with 3 different coffees. I appreciate the additional settings such as the ability to reduce the amount of grind for drip coffee. Another useful feature is froth queuing…which starts the frothing immediately after the espresso brew has finished…clever. As this is fairly new to me I can’t yet comment on the cleaning functions. Overall this is a very good purchase.

We are LOVING this. We were doing French Press but I wanted the option for espresso and espresso martinis so we traded out another appliance for this. We live tiny in our 5th wheel so we need something multipurpose. My husband drinks decaf and I drink regular, I am so happy that this gives us all of the options we need.

Overall, I love the Cafe Luxe! It took me about a week and a half to dial in the espresso and coffee to my exact preference, but once I got there it was all worth it. Stick with it and only change one variable at a time. I will say that the milk frother is more manual for me because I like a medium froth (not too milky and not too stiff). I end up turning off the froth right when the last progress light lights up on the cappuccino level. I do wish the Euro version was released in the US because I think some of my issues would be fixed. Tip: there are advanced settings in the safety booklet. In case it’s helpful for anyone, these are my preferences. I use Black Oak Duomo beans (M+ roast) Double espresso: grind 4 | brew temp 3 | brew ratio 2.0 Drip Coffee: grind 24 | brew temp 3 | Classic

Only have had it for a week and right away I know it was a great purchase! Easy to follow the step by step instructions and already making daily espresso shots and lattes. Don't feel like I need to stop by any coffee shops with this purchase. Worth it!

Best investment that I ever made! I am giving it 4 stars, because it takes a lot of countertop space surrounding it. It's best placed on an island because you need a full 360 degree access to the machine as well as on top. The tray does get filled with water quickly, even when I purge the milk steamer into a cup. Everything the equipment you need comes with the machine. I recommend buying a knock box (to empty the grounds) and a wet rag (to clean the milk steamer after every use). You can use your own coffee grounds, but when you make your fancy drinks, I found that coffee creamer does a better job than frothed milk for my personal tastes.

I've always known ninja to be a good brand and I have purchased other products made by them and been happy with the quality. I wanted to stop paying so much. At the coffee shop, be able to make the same. If not better quality coffee at home with an espresso machine but didn't know whoa, who is the right one? I'm glad that I got this one. Does everything I need and more? Still, haven't really figured out all of the different drinks I can make. But it does everything it says, very well from grinding the beans to making the espresso and frotting the milk. I definitely recommend given this espresso A shot.

Amazing machine. It’s extremely easy to use which is the main reason I love it. The reason for 3 stars is due to the portafilter funnel. Unfortunately the plastic has chipped in 2 places & I’ve only had it for a few weeks now. For the price of the machine I would expect the parts to be super high quality. But again, other than that issue, machine is amazing.

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.

I used a breville espresso maker at work (fire station) and knew that I needed an espresso maker. While researching them, I came across this one and knew i needed it. It has made amazing drinks and really does adjust the grind settings. I could not be happier with this machine!
