I bought this for myself as a fathers day gift as soon as I saw the first YT review video. So far everything been working great. All the different types of coffee drinks have been exceptional. This expresso maker is easy to use and the coffee tastes better than from a mocha pot or from other hands on expresso maker. Ninja really made some great features over their other available models. Glad I waited before getting one of the other models.
Best in the game to create cafe-quality drinks with the touch of a button!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has always found the art of coffee making a bit intimidating, the Ninja AutoBarista pro is surprisingly easy to use. It takes the guesswork out of making coffee drinks and the whole process is complete at the touch of a button! It’s very easy to set up and it really is all automatic. All you need to do is add water, beans, and milk (if you like!).
Cleaning is a breeze, especially with the added touch of automatically rinsing itself when the machine is turned on and off. It will let you know when a cleaning or descaling cycle is needed. The machine itself is aesthetically pleasing, it feels solid and well- built. The quality is evident from the moment you set it up.
For a busy, working mom who needs good, strong coffee to keep me going through the day- this Ninja AutoBarista is heaven sent.
So glad we finally pulled the trigger and bought a fully automatic machine. we have only had it 5 days, but have already enjoyed every type of hot and cold espresso drink you can imagine as well as cold brew.
We've had our Autobarista for a week now and I have not gotten one shot out of it that looks right. I've tried three different beans two of them were roasted in the last month. I run the grind IQ and the last shot it runs looks like its working.. Then go to make coffee and shot doesn't flow at all it only drips on 5/5 strength. so try 3/5 strength to get more water it still just drips. Make sure everything brew group etc is clean and try again no luck. Have gone through tons of beans running the grind IQ many times. If I bump the grind size up one notch in settings the flow is way to fast. I'm returning this machine it's not working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with this machine! I haven't bought coffee in 3 weeks since I have bought it. The only downside is that it's large and very heavy to move around. I love making my iced coffees using whole beans and making my cold foam with the press of a button.
I absolutely love this machine! It has made my mornings so much smoother. As a busy mom trying to get three kids ready and out the door, having great coffee at home without the hassle has been a game changer.
The drinks are consistently delicious, the machine is easy to use, and it takes a lot of the guesswork out of making espresso-based drinks. I can have my coffee ready in just a few minutes while juggling the morning rush. It’s quickly become one of my favorite kitchen appliances, and I use it every day. Highly recommend!
