Ninja Luxe Café Pro Series, Espresso, Cold Brew, Hot Water, ES701

I researched extensively before buying this espresso machine. I came across a number of reports of defective machines but decided to take a chance based on Ninja’s reputation. I’m so glad I did! The machine is extremely solid and well built. It can make everything from regular coffee to espresso to iced coffees. This is a very sophisticated machine and reading the manual is essential for a good result. The coffee produced smells and tastes amazing. The milk frother works better than any frother I’ve had before. The bean hopper holds a large amount of coffee beans which I appreciate. I find the speed of the machine to be good and comparable to other espresso machines I’ve had. I’ve seen reports of the coffee produced being too hot or too cold but mine has been perfect for me for each type of drink. Given the many different types of coffee beverages this machine makes with ease, I highly recommend it. In fact, I went to stay with relatives for a month over the holidays and I took the machine with me!

Love my coffee machine and I honestly can’t have coffee a different way. I do noticed that sometimes it won’t grind the full amount and I have to save that coffee for later and grind a second batch. Other than that machine is great, easy to use and coffee tastes good.

Omg! Just got mine in and my son and I experimented the last 3 hours! This thing is awesome!!!! We ended up going to the store to get some whip cream and syrups! Perfect every time but the problem is now I may not get any sleep tonight due to how much expresso we drank tonight lol. I love how easy it is to use and clean! The people that wrote bad reviews, I am sorry you found it difficult or less satisfying but I assure you its well worth the money!

It is the best coffee machine I’ve ever had and I’ve had a rainbow of them however it could do better on the Crema of the espresso as it is not very cream thick, but everything else is great especially the frother, it takes away that has work to make great cappuccinos and incredible chilled coffee drinks! The materials of it look really good even though it’s not stainless steel the whole thing and it does have several parts that are made out of PVC. I think the cost is a little high, but I guess with everything that it comes with, including the semi automatic tamper is also a super convenient feature, you can see it’ll last you for years. The only downside to it is that the use of water is quite a lot so you have to be emptying the tray constantly after you make around to good drinks. I think ninja should look into integrating a rubber doing for discharging this water into your sink and that would solve the problem! The coffee quality depends on what coffee beans you use but as far as functionality with the beans, it’s great the brew speed, coffee, quality, and heat level of it are great as well. The capacity you get on each beverage is also great and especially by the fact that you can choose from Ristretto, espresso, Lungo and Americano among other to choose from. It also gives you automatically the number that you should match to the machines suggestion in order to have the perfect grind for your choice of drink. Last but not least it comes with Storage for your coffee, tools so they are entirely hidden from site inside the machine on the right side. The only downside this machine has is the fact that it accumulates a lot of water as the byproduct of making the different coffee choices. It should come with a drain tube to go directly into the sink or spout! The counter space it takes is a little bit chunky but against having an espresso machine and a drip coffee machine it’s a win-win! I think it’s a great upgrade from the last Ninja, but the pro series is incredible!

I can't say how pleased I am with this espresso machine. It is so intuitive and easy to use. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. When I was looking for an espresso machine, I looked at this one and one from another company. As it turned out, I went with the other one. That machine malfunctioned within 7 months of the purchase date. After going back and forth with phone calls and sending the unit back for repair, they sent it back to me with a different problem. I contacted that company again. They sent me a new one and now after another 4 months, the water pump went out of it. I gave up and decided to purchase the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro Series Espresso Machine. I have been completely pleased with the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro from day 1. This machine tells you what the bean grind number should be, brews a perfect espresso, allows you to choose the texture of the froth and then automatically cleans the frothing wand after use. There is no guessing as the Ninja will not allow you to move to the next step if you have missed anything or have done something wrong. My only regret is not going with Ninja in the first place. I own several Shark/Ninja products. They are reliable, their customer service is top notch, and they make sure you are satisfied with their product. I have learned my lesson and will stick with the quality of Ninja products. Absolutely exceptional!

We purchased the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro after our previous machine quit working. (Previous was a different brand). The Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro is an amazing machine. We haven’t tried all of the drinks in the recipe book that came with it. But so far we’ve been impressed by the simplicity, the flavor, and the beauty (of the machine and the drinks). The only problem we’ve experienced is that we are so tempted to keep making more coffee drinks when we’ve already had enough for the day.

I LOVE THIS THING. These ate my takeways so far Pros: -Takes out guesswork in measurements and no technique required -Built in tamper is very helpful -Versatile coffee and frothing styles -Built in storage for baskets and accessories -Luxe basket for brewing 2 drinks at one time -Self cleaning steam wand -Indicators for easy maintainance (more beans, empty water tray, etc.) -Comes apart for easier cleaning -Adjustable stand for espresso cup -Very large water reservoir Cons: -Cold brew is not instantaneous-It brews in small amounts every 20seconds or so instead of all at once -May be noisy to some-beeps every time a process is done, grinder loud, loud brewing -It is quite large and heavy so you will need adequate space and can’t be moved easily -Cant fit all baskets in the storage or portafilter when not in use

I couldn't stand the tamper. I thought getting the version with the built-in tamper would make things easier, less messy, but I didn't think I would have to sacrifice the quality of the shots for it. I am no coffee expert, but I have seen enough coffee content to know that you want your puck of coffee to be evenly dense and flat. The way the coffee grounds are despensed, they end up in a little mountain in the porta filter, but the front side of the filter has less coffee than the back side. The porta filter is stuck in its spot until you tamp bc otherwise tons of grounds will fall out if you try to pull it out to evenly spread out the grounds. So you have to tamp it with this uneven mountain of grounds. Every puck I ever tested would have a soft spot on the front where there were less grounds. This will cause channeling, causing your shot to be under extracted. Not very "pro." I thought maybe my countertop was sloped, so I checked it and nope. Perfectly level. I added a ruler under the back feet to tilt the machine forward slightly; which helped the grounds distribute better, but it wasn't a complete fix and not a permanent solution. I would perfer the manual tamping version of the machine so that I can evenly spread the grounds before tamping. Also, I think something was wrong with the system that reads the grinder. Everytime I unplugged the machine (because I have limited outlets) and then plug it back in, it would change what grind setting it said it was on. Example: I use the machine and it says grind size 18, recommended size 18. I unplug, but leave the machine untouched and in the same place. I plug it back in and it says its set to grind size 17, but recommends 18. The machine wasn't reset; it remembered all its previous recommendations and settings, but it would say the grind size was one off from where I left it. This meant I was constantly changing the grind setting and the recommendations were always changing, even when I was making the same thing with the same beans. I did like the barista assist technology. I wouldn't have had a clue on where to set the grind size without that. I loved the auto frother. I could just set my milk to frother and I could walk away and do something else while the machine worked. Its pretty cool that you can change out the filter size (single, double, quad basket) and the machine would just know which one you were using. It looked nice on my counter top. Most parts of the machine felt sturdy and high quality. But, a few more cons: the warmer on top never felt more than barely warm. Couldn't really warm anything. I don't know if this was a flaw of my particular machine or if this model just doesn't warm much. The drip tray at the bottom is too small and pretty annoying. I was making 2 drinks a day, using the milk frother, and it seemed like every 2-3 days I had to empty the drip tray. Its a wide flat tray with multiple holes on top, plus water can leak from the sides. So, you have to carry it very carefully to not slightly tip it or let the water slosh much because water would drip out. If this was a once a week or every other week task, it wouldn't bother me so much, but doing it 2-3 times a week got annoying fast. I saw one guy rig his up with a tube that he ran to the sink so that he wouldn't really have to empty the tray, but my machine was nowhere near my sink unfortunately. Overall, I liked the machine, but I couldn't get past the tamper, especially since I felt like I upgraded to the "pro" version but felt like I got a massive down grade instead. I am going to get the non-pro version with the manual tamper and I guess I will just deal with getting a few coffee grounds on my countertop rather than sacrifice my shot quality. If you are someone who isnt picky at all and doesn't really notice the nuances of quality and you just want the easiest most stress free espresso machine, then I would recommend this machine. If you are someone who ever tastes something and you feel dissatisfied enough to say something to a waiter or barista, to just throw it away rather than consume it, or maybe if you are more into coffee and maybe want to make a bit of a hobby out of it, I would not recommend this particular model, but maybe the non-pro version.

A Ninja Luxe Café Pro Series superou todas as minhas expectativas. A qualidade do espresso é incrível: extração consistente, sabor encorpado e uma crema que rivaliza com muitas cafeterias profissionais. O sistema Barista Assist facilita muito a vida, ajustando a moagem automaticamente e ajudando a encontrar o ponto ideal para cada grão. A máquina é rápida, intuitiva e muito estável — cada bebida sai igual à anterior, o que mostra o cuidado no design e na tecnologia. A steam wand é potente e produz uma microespuma cremosa, perfeita para cappuccinos e lattes. É exatamente o tipo de espuma que eu antes só conseguia em cafeterias especializadas. Outro ponto forte é a facilidade de manutenção. Os ciclos internos de limpeza são guiados, a interface explica tudo de forma clara e o processo é muito simples. Nunca tive problemas de entupimento ou variação de sabor. Além de tudo isso, o design é lindo, moderno e robusto. Dá aquela sensação de produto premium mesmo — parece peça de barista profissional dentro de casa. Depois que comprei, passei a preferir fazer meu café em casa ao invés de comprar fora. A Ninja realmente elevou meu padrão de café diário. Recomendo demais. Vale cada centavo!
