Ninja Luxe Café 3-in-1 Espresso, Drip Coffee and Cold Brew Machine | Integrated Coffee Grinder, Milk Frother, Assisted Tamper & Built-In Espresso Accessory Storage | Stainless Steel | ES601

The Ninja Luxe Café 3-in-1 has completely transformed my daily coffee ritual into something I genuinely look forward to. This machine feels less like an appliance and more like a personal barista living on my countertop. Espresso comes out rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced with a crema that rivals café quality. Drip coffee is smooth and flavorful without bitterness, and the cold brew? Shockingly good—clean, bold, and refreshing without the long wait. What truly sets this machine apart is its versatility and thoughtful design. Switching between brew styles is intuitive, the controls are user-friendly, and cleanup is refreshingly easy. It saves counter space, money, and time while delivering premium results every single cup. Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a full-on caffeine connoisseur, this machine adapts effortlessly. I can confidently say this is one of the best kitchen investments I’ve ever made. Ninja absolutely nailed it.

As my title says, it took me 3 tries to become adept at making the perfect latte, and the first didn’t count as you’re supposed to dispose of that one anyway. I’ll be honest, I was worried about becoming an amateur barista thinking the instructions for setup and brewing might go over my head. On the contrary, between the setup instruction manual and the step by step instructions through the BILT app (just scan the QR code and it’ll walk you through this part), it was quite easy to get going. In less than an hour, I had the machine setup and had brewed myself a perfect store quality caramel latte. The stainless steel design looks great and the unit itself appears to be quite durable. A sturdy design with enough weight behind it to keep it easily in place. I’m impressed with the various functions and choices available. It came with a basic recipe book that included various types of recipes, including cold brews. This lovely machine also makes an amazing cup of hot cocoa, for which I used a thick froth setting for the milk (Lactaid works just as well as regular milk, as I’ve become lactose intolerant over the last decade). I haven’t yet purchased a separate knock box for the coffee grounds, so until I do, I have an empty coffee can I keep under my sink for proper disposal. The coffee grounds come out with just a light tap. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. I’ve always been a fan of Ninja products, and this machine is no exception. The Ninja Luxe Café 3-in-1 machine makes it easy to become an amateur barista in no time. As someone who spends roughly $65-$85 a month on retail coffee shops, this machine will pay for itself quickly.

This is a great machine. We've been searching a few years, found this machine that's not $600 or more and I love it. It was a gift for a special day from my husband. If you are looking to buy a great espresso, cold brew, and regular coffee drip too!, for a gift this is it. It grinds, tells you what the recommendations are, programs itself to know what you like, and cleans itself. It comes with the utensils and booklet & easy to do recipes. It does not come w/ the old grinds box but they have that too. Oh & comes with a topper. If you take care of this machine and do what it says, you will have this a long time. The company stands behind this product which is a plus. I still have my Keurig for the need to get ready in a hurry mornings but love the Ninja for that espresso. I give this machine 5 stars for price, what it can do and quality.

Favorite and easy to navigate and figure out how to use. Makes great coffee and for the most part easy to clean! No regrets

I wish I had bought this years ago. Super easy to use, perfect coffee ever time. Literally does every kind of coffee and foam you could want- delicious every time. I have completely stopped buying coffee from coffee shops. My whole family uses and loves it.

I’ve got a bad habit of overpurchasing kitchen appliances. Even great ones like the Instant Pot don’t get as much use as the allocated space should require. Enter my coffee dilemma. Tend to have coffee every day. Have stuck to single cups for the past couple decades, started with Keurig machines using metal refillable cups, alongside Nespresso original line with third party capsules. Gave away the Keurig in favor of a simple #2 “over cup” drip coffeemaker from OXO which was nice and tiny and simple. Kept the Nespresso but used rarely since it always fell short of coffee store coffee and I always buy too many capsules. Did appreciate the ability to choose exactly the coffee and caffeine level as well as quick brew and cleanup. Now to this Luxe. Priced used mint at a price that, alongside all the people raving crazy about it, decided to give it a chance to disappoint me. Fortunately or unfortunately, turns out this Ninja Luxe is actually very impressive, fun to use, and makes a pretty good latte (and probably other things if I were more motivated). So I ended up keeping it. The coffee hopper and grinder is great. Pretty easy to follow, somehow they magically tell you how much to set the grind for and it seems to work right. If I were to design the perfect machine I’d have two hoppers- one for regular and one for decaf, but that’s just me. I can grind decaf beans elsewhere and somehow finagle them into the dual holder and it seems to work well. But the Luxe weighs the coffee and manually filling it doesn’t do that. It’s a little hard to mount the coffee onto the machine, find myself having to try a few times to find the hole. Sometimes it’s pretty tight screwing it on, and other times it’s natural and easy. Usually a near perfect 2 ounces come out, but sometimes it’s only a little over one- same beans and same grind as before. That’s kind of odd, but I just pull a second shot of water through the grind. I love the frother on this thing. Really well designed, put the milk in, lift the wand and place it down, then put the wand back in. Push a button and it makes beautiful froth. Though it could have a little more foam to it, drinks tend to be light on foam even on high setting. Water bin is large enough for pulling many cups. I’ve tried making brew with the included quad cup and it’s far too strong, guess this thing is all about Americanos if you want a straight cup of coffee. But The storage, function, design of this is really a work of art. On the side is the funnel and tamper, easily accessible and stored away. I bought a third party silicone cover for the top of this for around $15 bucks, it covers everything neatly except leaves the coffee bin alone. This allows storage and even tamping to take place on top, in a small kitchen that’s handy. All-in-all, super happy with lattes and mochas every day, and this is fun to use. Not as fast as the Nespresso but close enough and the cleaning is not very involved. Main pain is cleaning the wand right, I just use a wet sponge then purge it into water in the jug. I do notice that the water tray fills up more often than expected, and pulling it out then dumping into the sink is precarious, always spill water and usually also drop the part beneath the espresso spout area. I’m selling off or donating my Nespresso machines, and I keep the OXO single cup in the cabinet for guests or my own occasional drip coffee urges. Nice thing is I can just turn on the Ninja to grind beans for the drip. Don’t think I’d have paid retail on this, but for the price I paid on a mint used one, around $300, this is a luxury that feels decadent to have available for a coffee drinker and sometimes host. Hopefully all the computer and mechanical ballet going on with this machine holds up several years, it’s something I never thought I’d spring for but happy I did.

Estuve dudando mucho de adquirir esta cafetera porque desde hace años tenía el ojo puesto en un modelo de Breville pero dado que no quería hacer del café un pasatiempo y por el elevado costo del modelo que quería, evité comprarla. Cuando salió este modelo lo pensé mucho porque aunque Ninja hace buenos productos, una cafetera de especialidad ya es otro nivel. Como la vi en oferta (que en realidad no es oferta porque es muy similar al precio de EEUU si consideramos que allá ya venden el modelo 701) decidí animarme bajo la idea de que la Luxe café es más automática que cualquier otra marca y ofrece café de especialidad con pocos pasos y sin una curva de aprendizaje. Para empezar es necesario mencionar que eso no es completamente cierto, si bien da recomendaciones de molido, temperaturas, dosis y tiempos, no menos cierto es que no siempre le atina, además no tiene todos los aditamentos necesarios para confiarle a la máquina todo el proceso, por lo que también tiene una curva de aprendizaje, aunque si es menor que la de otras marcas especializadas. Me gustó que en general tiene buen aspecto y no se siente barata, aunque la diferencia de costos con otras marcas si se nota en los materiales de algunas zonas, pero no es algo que sea tan evidente ni tampoco tan importante. Me encantó que el diseño está pensado de manera inteligente para almacenar los aditamentos en el mismo aparato, por lo que, aunque ocupa mucho espacio en la barra, se ve limpia y tienes todo a la mano. La limpieza es sencilla e intuitiva; además, si utilizan agua de calidad se ahorrarán pasos de limpieza y la frecuencia de la misma. Las preparaciones, una vez que le agarras la onda, son bastante buenas, muy similares a los resultados de una cafetería; hasta el momento he preparado espressos, capuchinos, lattes, cold brew y cold brew latte con muy buenos resultados todos, lo cual es suficiente para mis necesidades. Desde mi perspectiva es una cafetera ideal para quien no quiere hacer del café un pasatiempo pero también es exigente en los resultados y quiere sacarle el máximo provecho a los granos que compra. Si te gustaría hacer del café un pasatiempo, busca en otras marcas porque esta se quedará corta rápido. Lo que no me gustó es que no incluye un filtro para una sola dosis de café, solo incluye para dos y cuatro dosis, así que cada que utilicen el molino, molerá un mínimo de 36g de café los utilices o no, lo cual le quita mucho encanto porque de momento no he encontrado el filtro para una sola dosis (que sí incluye el modelo 701) y cuando mi intención es preparar una sola taza de café, no me gusta guardar café recién molido para el otro día o para después, pero tampoco me gustan los cafés tan cargados. Tampoco me gusta el protector para evitar que el café se riegue por todos lados, es un aditamento de plástico muy corriente que pierde utilidad porque estás más al pendiente de no romperlo que de evitar tirar café recién molido y los remplazos no son tan baratos como uno quisiera. Por último, es importante mencionar que no permite calentar solo agua, por lo que no sirve para bebidas como tés. Para mí no es importante dado que tengo aparatos especializados para esos fines, pero para quien no tenga tanto espacio en la cocina o ganas de tener una tetera, seguramente será algo a considerar. En general me parece una buena compra siempre y cuando esté a un precio similar al de EEUU. En lo personal sugeriría esperar al modelo 701 que seguramente rondará el precio de esta máquina sin ofertas (17).

Fonctionne bien et facile a utiliser , plusieurs sorte de café rapide a faire pas bruyante lors du moussage du lait. Belle qualité je l adore

Otimo

Excelente

Llevaba varios años usando maquinas de espresso básicas, mi última oster se descompuso y decidi hacer un "upgrade" con esta cafetera despues de haber visto muchas reseñas y videos. No me considero experta en lo que es la realización de el café, pero quede bastante sorprendida y feliz con mi compra. El paquete viene con todo lo que necesitas para usar y cuidar la maquina, tarde 2 días en entender bien como se iba ajustando la ninja dependiendo de lo que quería preparar, y junto con mi grano favorito he podido disfrutar de un excelente y riquisimo café, no le veo sentido en que vuelva a comprar café de alguna cadena, gran compra!
