Luxe Café Premier 3-in-1 Espresso Machine, Drip Coffee, & Rapid Cold Brew | Built-in Coffee Grinder, Hands-Free Milk Frother, Assisted Tamper for Cappuccinos & Lattes | Cyberspace | ES601CY

I almost never leave reviews, but I was so impressed here I was left with no choice. This machine is, hands down, the best value automatic or semiautomatic espresso machine on the market right now. I've owned and tried many of them, including the creme de la creme, the Jura machines from Switzerland which run $2000 to $6000. I can't believe how many features and how much quality they packed into this machine for such a price. I honestly don't know how they did it. I got mine for less than five hundred dollars and they even threw in no interest financing for a full year. Are you kidding me? I should've bought ten of these things for that kind of a deal. You can try out the expensive ones like Jura, Miele, Bosch, etc, or the mid-range ones like Gaggia, Breville, DeLonghi, etc, or the less expensive automatics like Kitchen Aid, Philips, Cuisinart or any number of brands made in China with their company name & logo slapped on them, and you won't find a better value than the Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier. It just ain't gonna happen. I won't go into the details of a product testing review as you can find endless numbers of those online or on YT. Suffice to say I was blown away by the power of the pump and boiler, the quality of the grinder, the perfect and easy-as-pie milk frother, the speed and efficiency of every function, the design, and....just everything about it. If you want great espresso, perfect milk foam, fantastic drip, a capable grinder and a price that no other company on the market can even come close to with this level of build quality and performance, look no further. You've found your new machine.

I was very nervous about buying an all-in-one product as there is a lot that can go wrong ... for example if the grinder fails, does the whole unit stop working? So I went into this with some skepticism. Ive had this thing since Feb, so about 6 months, and I cant rave enough. I was just cleaning it and told the Mrs that this may be the best purchase we've made in years. I am the kind of person that takes really good care of my things, so I do the biweekly cleaning and maintenence that a lot of people would not do, but even so I am absolutely AMAZED at the quality of the build and how consistently perfect the shots taste, especially after 6 months. Ive come to to appreciate the ease of use and consistency so much that I now skoff at videos describing great techniques for making espresso. Ive even tried deviating from the recommended grind values only to have the shots come out wrong and always go back to the grind the machine suggests. The ONLY minor issue ive had is that the little float to let you know the drain is full is getting stuck and doesnt always notify you that its full, so extra care is needed when cleaning this to ensure it can lift properly without friction. I generally dump the water as I use it so it doesnt become a problem, but this thing gets used 4x to 6x a day (by several people) and its absolutely held up. The little rubber gasket that you unscrew a thing to access and remove to clean is also still in perfect shape. Very good quality product. We have really good water here (not very hard) so ive only had to descale it once so far ... so take that into consideration. The frother is fantastic, particularly with cold foam, and I love that you can use it in 'manual mode' if you desire, but Ive never had to as the automatic setting work great.

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 us tge vest machine I have purchased. It makes a perfect espresso, or cup of coffee. Its so easy to use and everything is explained on screen. You know what to do. Tells you when to clean and when to descale and is way easier to do than any other machine I have had. Taste is great. You can tell its pulling a perfect espresso every time. Can't say enough about this machine!

Fantastic machine! This was my first espresso machine and I could not be happier! Coffee is strong and so good! Follow the videos to set it up. I had to Google how to make a regular cup of coffee, but once I figured it out, it was super easy. Best purchase and worth the money. I bought a knock box with a lid too and keep my coffee grounds for my garden. Finally, purchase a rolling stand so you can move it around to add water and beans- makes it so much easier.

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.

Terrific coffee/espresso maker. Does everything well and easy to use. After 8 months of heavy use there have been no issues. We found that the beans are really important, must be fresh and use espresso. The very best tasting milk is the barista almond milk sold in a carton, best price is Amazon. Also, when you use the descale chemical be sure to wipe the chrome clean or it will leave spots that can’t be removed. We are ordering another Ninja Luxe for our vacation home, can’t live with out it.

Purchased Jan 28, 2026, and overall this is actually a pretty solid espresso machine with some features I really like. But it also has one behavior that made me question my life choices the first few days. Let’s start with the good stuff. What I Like The built-in grinder works well and the grind adjustment is very easy to change. The machine even recommends a grind setting for espresso, which is nice for people who don’t want to play coffee scientist right away. Another thing I like is the storage design. A lot of the accessories actually have their own place on the machine, so parts like the tamper and tools don’t end up wandering around the kitchen drawer. The frother works well, and I’ve had no problem getting good foam for milk drinks. And most importantly… It makes a good espresso. Shots come out consistent, and once you dial in the grind it performs pretty nicely. Now… the thing that drives me slightly insane The waste water reservoir fills up very quickly. I’m not exaggerating when I say that after about three espresso shots, the orange light pops on telling me the drip tray / waste reservoir is full. Which means the workflow becomes something like this: 1. Make espresso 2. Make another espresso 3. Make a third espresso 4. Machine says “stop everything and empty me” So now you stop making coffee, remove the tray, dump the water, put it back, and continue. And yes… if you ignore it, it will overflow the next time. Why This Happens (Apparently) After reading about it, this seems to be normal behavior for machines like this, not necessarily a defect. From what I understand, the machine sends water to the drip tray for several reasons: • Pressure relief from the brew system after a shot • Thermal stability to maintain correct brewing temperature • Internal rinsing cycles that keep coffee oils from building up • Pump pressure management during extraction So some of the water you see isn’t “wasted” exactly. It’s the machine protecting itself and keeping the brew system clean. Still… when you start with 16 oz in the tank and see 4–5 oz end up in the waste tray, it feels like the espresso machine has a very generous interpretation of the word “efficiency.” Things People Suggest to Reduce It Some suggestions I found (and experimented with): • Adjusting the grind slightly coarser than the recommended setting • Making sure the portafilter isn’t overpacked • Running shots back-to-back instead of letting the machine idle between them • Making sure the drip tray is fully seated and sensors are clean The one that made the most sense to me was going one grind setting coarser, since extremely fine grinds increase pressure and can cause the machine to release more water through the relief system. It helped a little… but the tray still fills up pretty fast. My Comparison I’ve owned cheaper espresso machines that honestly didn’t do this as aggressively. So when it started happening my first thought was: “Is this normal? Is it defective? Is it kind of defective?” From what I can tell, it seems to be how the machine is designed, even if it’s a little annoying in daily use. Final Thoughts Overall: • Good grinder • Smart design with built-in storage • Good espresso quality • Easy to adjust grind settings • Solid frother But also: • You will be emptying the drip tray often I also use good filtered water to reduce scaling, so watching several ounces of it head straight to the waste reservoir feels a little painful. At one point I briefly considered recycling the water… but let’s be honest, that’s where we draw the line. If you’re okay with occasionally pausing your coffee session to dump the machine’s hydration program, this is still a good espresso setup. Just know that this machine apparently believes every espresso deserves a water ceremony afterward

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).

Been using it for a week and it was a game changer! The one I had broke and I decided to upgrade with this machine and it for sure was an upgrade! The froth is amazing! Love that it has the grinder included, it’s an all in one and I’m loving it!
