Love this machine!

My first espresso machine, and I love it! First off….I would like to give a huge shout out to the Ninja support team who were easy to contact and helped walk me through the setup and help me fix what I mistakenly thought was a malfunction. They set up a Zoom session and patiently walked me through every step, from setup to drink crafting. I was able to make my first Latte with ease! The machine is well-built and heavy duty out of heavy plastic and stainless steel materials. It is quite heavy and sturdy. It is a beautiful and shiny piece of counter jewelry, with sparkling chrome-finished stainless steel. The grinder works well, stores your beans in a freshness sealed hopper and automatically grinds and doses a fresh dose of espresso or coffee at the correct grind setting, customized for whatever drink you choose. The machine does make some noise, but is no more noisy than what you hear in your favorite coffee shop… and TBH I enjoy the sound ☺️.
The machine comes with 2 brew basket sizes…a double shot, and a triple shot. It has 5 drink settings… espresso (double), triple, classic (drip coffee), rich (strong drip coffee), and over ice. It has three different strength settings to choose from. The machine gives you a recommendation for the grind coarseness setting for whatever drink you choose, but you are free to choose your own.
The milk frother works great and is super simple. This was the function I was most intimidated to try, but turned out to be the easiest and the funnest. One of the things that I love about this machine is it has a very small footprint, so it doesn’t take up much room on my counter. I was worried that making my own lattes or coffee with this machine would require a ton of preparation and a lot of cleanup… I was pleasantly surprised that this machine is just as easy, or easier than the cleanup from my drip coffee maker.
This machine is GREAT for a beginner like me, or for anyone who wants a well-built, thoughtfully engineered workhorse that won’t hog your counter space.
I love love love this machine and highly recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile and makes amazing coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am sold! I wasn’t sure about the Ninja Espresso Machine because I am used to a different model. This espresso machine really exceeded my expectations. It’s so versatile. From making espresso drinks, to brewed coffee, and even iced coffee. It truly does everything. It makes the best cup of brewed coffee I have ever tasted. I highly recommend choosing the “rich” brew setting to bring out all the flavor. Between my husband and I, we probably use this machine 6-7 times a day. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. It’s well-made and looks stylish in our kitchen. My one recommendation is to read the manual thoroughly, to be sure you know how to use it properly (it’s not difficult or time-consuming). This Ninja is the perfect addition to any coffee-lover’s kitchen!

I absolutely love this coffee machine! It’s so easy to use all the different features, it’s all in one. It’s super easy to brew espresso or coffee. It grinds the beans fresh daily. I love how I can move it around easily. And it comes with all the materials you need for a perfect cup of coffee.

Compact but has all the necessary features
on July 12, 2026
Posted by: JenniferH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini espresso machine is compact and fits easily on any countertop while not giving up any essential features in a good espresso machine. I love that you can grind beans, froth milk, and brew espresso (or coffee) in one machine. Highly recommend reading the instruction materials thoroughly, especially if you are new to using espresso machines like I am! It was a bit of trial and error to get the right grind size, but go with the Ninja recommendation first. I use this every day to make an iced mocha and couldn’t be happier with it!

So beginner friendly and has lots of customization !
on July 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine honestly exceeded my expectations. It packed so many features into a compact design, It doesn’t take over the countertop, but still makes café quality drinks. The built-in grinder and the scale takes a lot of the guess work out of making espresso and the barista assist features make it easy even if you’re not an experienced barista. I’ve made everything from espresso shots to lattes and the results have been consistently smooth and flavorful. The milk frother creates rich creamy foam and cleanup is much easier than I expected. I also appreciate that it feels sturdy and well-made and not like a cheaply built appliance. If you’ve been wanting to make coffee shop drinks at home, but were intimidated by traditional espresso machines, this is a great option. It’s beginner friendly and offers enough customization to make drinks just the way you like them. I can definitely see this becoming part of my own daily routine.

Barista vibes in your own kitchen!
on July 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Espresso Machine has barista assist technology to help create delicious coffee right in your home kitchen. I love the compact design of the machine and the incorporated milk steamer/frother. It did take me a few attempts adjusting the grind of the beans to get the right extraction for espresso but the instruction manual is pretty comprehensive. I’ve got my personal favorite, brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso mastered and it’s been my go-to afternoon drink this summer!

Easy to use and great coffee at home
on July 7, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted an espresso machine but they always seemed so complicated. This machine is designed to be so easy and not complicated. I love the varity of coffee shop style drinks you can make with it and that you can steam the milk all in the same machine! Espresso comes out smooth and tastes great. You can even adjust th temperature to help get the perfect taste for your preference. The inspiration guide is great for beginners to help you make a coffee shop worthy drink.
