NinjaEspresso Machine and Drip Coffee Maker| Luxe Café Premier Series | Integrated Coffee Grinder, Milk Frother, Assisted Tamper & Built-In Espresso Accessory Storage | Stainless Steel | ES601

Greatest home coffee machine ever!! I've held out for years on getting a proper coffee maker, relying on my French Press. The Ninja arrived yesterday evening, taking only one day from order to delivery. I quickly unwrapped all the components and followed the video tutorial for setup and calibration. It took 30 minutes from arrival to being ready to brew. It seems daunting at first but the process is actually very simple. The details all make sense. The actual machine seems very well constructed. The accessories are solid and heavy. The reservoir has enough volume for plenty of cups. The bean grinder holds an entire bag of beans. Every aspect of it is exceptionally well designed and constructed. I had to run to a night shift before actually trying the espresso/coffee. On my drive home this morning, eagerly anticipating using my Ninja, I contacted my girlfriend to share in the suspense. We brewed quad espressos from our French Roast whole beans and topped it with frothed caramel Silk (almond) creamer. The process was simple and easy to follow. Brewing and frothing took about three minutes for each cup. I rinsed the accessories and left them to dry. Then... we sipped our homemade cappuccinos. Sitting in the comfort of home, saving $16 on *bucks, we fell silent. It was beyond our expectations. Incredible. Pure satisfaction. I can't speak highly enough of this machine. It was so good, we adjourned to the bedroom. Two hours later, while she's running errands, I've taken to writing this review and brewed a rich drip coffee with the Ninja. It is equally as good. I've texted my girlfriend and asked when she'll be back.

I initially got into espresso with a delonghi linea classica which is an entry level machine that costs about 250 bucks. I enjoyed watching videos and buying upgraded portafilters and tamps and other accessories. I like level of involvement in making my own coffee drinks. However I’m no barista by any means and ended up getting frustrated a lot and made many mistakes. I came across this machine and it took a lot of frustration away. The brew assist was a big help. Although I’m not trained on what notes to look for in my coffee I buy freshly roasted whole beans which makes a huge impact. I typically add a double shot to my coffee in the mornings and it makes my coffees taste amazing. I love how I can still be hands on with my coffee making in the morning. Whenever we have guests over I love being able to make cappuccinos or espresso drinks for them, and they love how well everything tastes.I’ve had absolutely no issues with this machine. I’ve owned it for a few months now and it makes me look forward to getting up every morning to brew a shot of espresso. I was a little hesitant on a consumer type of machine like this but it has been great. Takes a lot of my novice guesswork out of the picture and allows me to make fun, delicious drinks. We have a small butlers pantry and it fits perfect in that small area. I believe in time I may step up my game and add on another “pro-Sumer” espresso machine in the future, but this Ninja Luxe will always maintain to be my main staple for brewing amazing tasting coffee drinks.

One of my favorite purchases of the year. Worth it. Haven't been to Starbucks since. This machine is so much easier than others. The only thing I would mention is that you might want to buy a separate bean grinder to use on the side in case you want to have two kinds ground at once. For example, we have a regular Dunkin donuts bean in our espresso hopper right now, but we also have a decaf bean in a cheap little grinder in case we want to have decaf in the evenings. One more thing - water from the reservoir collects into the drip tray and we don't understand why. Have looked for answers on the web but haven't found. My husband thinks it should cost them a star.

We have been dedicated Breville users for years. When our grinder finally died we found ourselves in the market for something new. After reading reviews we decided to give this a try. You cannot get the same customizations that come from the human touch that the Breville allows, but if you just want a good espresso drink without any effort, this is the machine for you. I am surprised with how quiet the machine runs, both during the grind and brew cycles. While I wish there was less plastic overall, the parts that you want to be metal are. For this price point, you cannot find a better machine.

We love this machine! However the grinder did stop working 3 months in. We called the ninja customer service line and they walked us through and helped us trouble shoot the problem. The gentlemen was so very helpful! Im still taken back by how patient and helpful he was. I know if we have any other issues we will have no problem speaking to a live person and getting the help we need.

Loved the machine but the box came damaged, machine started to leak and missing pieces plus instruction book. Machine was great, very quiet and dinged when completed. Temperature was perfect and depending on the coffee you can change the strongness of the coffee for different levels of tasre. I enjoyed the different brew sizes. This is definitely a luxury purchase, if you are looking for something cheaper Mr espresso or Chefmate would do the job.

I was nervous to purchase this machine. I was willing to invest for a good machine but wasn’t sure if it was as user friendly as all the reviews stated. Let me tell you, this is worth every penny. It’s so easy to use, versatile, and performs well. I rarely stop at Starbucks anymore when I can make it at home. I’ve had this for almost 5 months and I don’t have a single complaint.
