Ninja Luxe Café Premier 3-in-1 Espresso, Drip Coffee and Cold Brew Machine

Pros

• Guided tamper convenience ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.9
  Owners praise the click pillar tamper and dosing collar system, which works in concert with the grinder cradle to guide roughly 30lb of pressure, keep grounds corralled, and form a flat puck without removing the portafilter, making tamping easier and less messy than on many entry level machines.
• Overall user experience ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
  The overall experience is repeatedly described as beginner-friendly: it can feel intimidating at first, but the guided workflow, clear progress feedback, and automated dosing/frothing help users get confident quickly while still delivering results that satisfy more experienced drink makers.
• Value & Price ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
• Brewing performance & consistency ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Reviews report that the Luxe Café’s Classic and Rich coffee modes mimic pour over style brewing with pauses and low flow pulses, delivering single serve cups from a cold start in under five minutes that repeatedly measure in the SCA strength sweet spot and taste richer than typical single cup auto drip modes.
• Grinder, hopper & dosing system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
• Espresso & beverage quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
• Milk, steam & frothing ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.4
• Design, ergonomics & footprint ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
• Speed & time-to-cup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.3
• Iced / cold-brew function quality ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2
  Iced options are convenient and generally tasty, with a cooler cold-pressed espresso mode well-suited to iced drinks; however, this review suggests the dedicated over-ice and cold-brew coffee modes can taste very similar, making the feature set feel more redundant than distinct despite solid results.
• Accessories ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.2
  This review supports a helpful starter kit and onboard organization, including a funnel and a dedicated storage spot alongside the pressure-click tamper, plus baskets for different drink modes; it also adds a durability concern, noting the funnel’s plastic corners began chipping after a couple months.
• Accuracy of marketing claims ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.2
  This review partly validates the marketing promise: the guided workflow (weight-based dosing, grind recommendations, and mostly hands-off milk frothing) can make the machine feel like an at-home cafe; however, it adds clearer caveats that initial calibration can be finicky, espresso can still be inconsistent, and the drip/cold-brew side of the all-in-one pitch is less impressive.
• Assembly & Setup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.1
• Build quality & durability ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.0
• Mess-free used-puck disposal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
  Used grounds generally come out without much hassle, with the basket staying secure and pucks/grounds clearing after a few firm taps; a dedicated knock box can be an added-cost accessory rather than a standard inclusion.
• Warranty & Customer support ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.9
• Cup, tray & carafe handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.7
• Capacity ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.7
  Capacity is tuned for single-serve flexibility: coffee runs from about 6 to 18 ounces and the height adjustment can fit a large travel mug; this review adds a constraint on the espresso side, noting there are no single-shot baskets, only double and quad options.
• Water system, maintenance & descaling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 3.6
