Coffee machine

Good7.5/10Mid-range

Ninja's Luxe Café takes much of the guesswork out of espresso with guided grinding and dosing. CHOICE rated the espresso very good but the build plasticky. A strong beginner rival to Breville's Barista range.

Good at

  • Built-in grinder, scale and guided dosing
  • Easy for beginners to get good espresso
  • Makes espresso, drip and cold brew in one machine

Weak at

  • Plasticky build
  • Milk and hot water only average
  • No long-term reliability record yet
