Ninja Luxe Café Pro Series, Espresso Machine, Drip Coffee, Cold Brew, Hot Water, Integrated Tamper, Built-in Grinder, Hands-Free Frother for Cappuccinos, Lattes, Americanos, Dairy or Non-Dairy, ES701

I had never made Espresso or a Latte in my life before purchasing the Ninja es701. This machine made doing so child's play. The built in Barista helps configure the machine for the drink you want to make. Our coffee drinks are turning out great and are every bit as good as the high-end coffee shops. Clean up is easy, especially with the auto-purge for the frother. Footprint isn't much bigger than our old K-cup machine. Recommend also buying the Ninja knock box for removing coffee pucks. Much easier and cleaner than attempting to do so into a trash can. We are very satisfied with how well this machine is working and we now enjoy good tasting coffee.

It is absolutely beautiful and so easy to use. It has really fast brew time which I didn’t expect and super easy to clean. I also expected it to be louder when grinding the coffee beans but it wasn’t at all. I wouldn’t say it is quiet but not at all jarring. The whole setup took minutes and I was drinking a delicious double shot latte. I love it.

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!

Overall it has been an excellent experience! We are fortunate to have a daughter that worked for Starbucks so she figured out everything right away. For everyone else, like myself, it took a few days to get used to it. I prefer the taste of the coffee over Keurig pods any day of the week. My daughter makes lattes and cold brew coffee drinks that would rival any coffee house! Anyone she makes a drink for immediately says I have to get one of these! The ability to grind beans and then brew fresh coffee is awesome! I would say the only drawback is having to empty the bottom water tray. Our coffee bar is across the kitchen so we have to walk all the way across the room to dump it without spilling. Other than that, the water reservoir holds a good amount of water, the water temperature is on point, and the taste of the coffee is amazing!

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 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!

I’m in my mid-40s and have used only standard simple drip coffee makers and basic Keurig machines my whole life. This Ninja Luxe Café Pro is a completely new experience, and its introduction to my family felt truly next-level. There is an initial learning curve to operating it, but the instructions include clear diagrams and are very easy to follow. You must patiently work through the instructions upon opening it. Once complete, you understand the mechanism, and the process becomes straightforward. This product was clearly engineered with cleanup in mind, as it's very easy to remove parts and put them in the sink or dishwasher. The best feature of the device is that it handles all the measuring for you. All you do is manually fill the water reservoir, pour in whole coffee beans, and set the grind dial. The machine then displays the optimal grind setting number for whatever you are brewing (espresso, americano, etc.). You then tamp the freshly ground coffee (a very simple process), install and twist on the portafilter containing the compressed grounds, select your desired brew if you haven't already, and hit start. The result is amazing coffee unlike anything I have ever made at home. The frothing milk function is also a breeze and simple to use. I made a cappuccino that was Starbucks-level quality; it had no added sugar, yet tasted incredibly fresh and naturally almost sweet. Upon initial impression, the machine is clearly well-designed, and I have no immediate complaints. I will update this review if I run into any issues later.

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!

La función de Agua Caliente no funcionaba, "escupía" el agua como si tuviera aire, así que la devolví.
