With the Ninja Luxe Café Premier ES601EU, I can effortlessly make coffee like a barista. The machine guides me step by step, from the correct grind size to making cold brew. It is slower than other piston machines, though.
Smartly choosing the right grind size
I grind the beans using the integrated bean grinder. Normally, I adjust the coarseness myself. This piston machine helps with that. I place the filter holder under the grinder with the appropriate container for my coffee type. For a cold brew, I use the large container and for a double espresso, the medium one. The machine tells me the grind size to set, so I don't have to think about the settings.
Easy milk frothing
The automatic milk frothing system works very smoothly. I fill the milk jug with whole or plant-based milk. Thanks to the handy measuring scale in the jug, I know exactly how much milk I need for a cappuccino, latte macchiato, or cortado. I can easily adjust the thickness of the froth using the buttons below the display. With the push of a button, I briefly turn on the steam wand after use to rinse all the milk residue out of the wand.
Cold brew in 10 minutes
On hot days, I like to make a cold brew. First, I take the large filter basket for the ground beans. When I place it under the grinder, the machine automatically displays the options for large coffees. This includes cold brew. I remove the drip tray and coaster from the piston machine. This allows a large glass to fit under the brewing unit. I choose the XL option, and that way I can easily make a large iced coffee.
Always perfectly tamped
The tamper on the side of the machine has a pressure regulator. Normally, with a tamper, you control the pressure yourself. This sometimes causes the coffee to flow through the filter basket to vary. With a pressure regulator, I don't have to think about that. This way, the extraction is the same every time.
Everything at hand
I store the loose parts neatly in the compartment on the side of the machine. There's a spot for every container in the storage compartment. Even the maintenance parts fit in there. This way, I don't have to search through every cupboard for all the parts every time.

After fast shipping, it arrived the next day. Everything was packaged very neatly. The Ninja Deluxe Café Premier Espresso Machine has a beautiful, sleek, and clean look.
I found it very easy to get started right away. The handy starter guide provides clear explanations, so you can enjoy a cup of coffee in just a few steps! The barista assistance is very useful for determining how finely the beans should be ground. After a few tries, we already had a delicious cup of espresso, tailored to our brand of coffee beans. You can repeat this process with each new brand of coffee beans.
I really love a flat white. With this machine, I can easily make it myself. I made the espresso in no time using the recommended grind setting. Thanks to the built-in scale, you always have enough coffee. You simply choose the type of coffee you want, and the machine determines how much you need and how finely it should be ground. These are all things you can then experiment with and adjust to your own taste and preferences. Truly fantastic!
I found frothing the milk a bit trickier to master. The Ninja Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine does this all by itself, but I didn't like the thickness of the froth (I opted for the thin froth). Fortunately, you can do this yourself; it just takes a bit more practice. You can stop the frothing process earlier, or you can do it yourself with a separate jug.
I think this is a really great coffee machine for beginning coffee lovers. And I'm also very happy that I was able to test it.
Using the Ninja Luxe requires a bit more interest and skill than a standard bean-to-cup machine, but not as much knowledge as other machines out there.
It's a lot of fun creating your perfect coffee drink. And these aren't even all the possibilities. I'm already looking forward to trying all the possible variations, like cold brew with cold froth!

The Ninja Luxe Café Premier is a remarkably attractive product with many features. I find the design very professional, luxurious, and compact, and it looks great in my kitchen. It has a clear display that requires button operation and truly gives me a barista-like feel. I find the coffee tastes truly excellent, thanks in part to the conical burr grinder and the 25 grind settings, which the machine indicates correctly. It's a very versatile machine that makes espresso, cappuccino, latte, cold brew, and iced coffee effortlessly.
It takes a little longer to brew coffee than with a fully automatic coffee machine, which isn't a problem for you, of course, but can be more difficult when making coffee for several people. It's worth the wait; the coffee tastes richer, and the quality more than makes up for it. The step-by-step guidance with the Barista Assist, which helps you set the optimal grind and dosage for the perfect coffee, is very helpful for trying new flavors, and even cold brew is possible.
The integrated tamper with pressure regulator ensures the coffee is always pressed with the right amount of pressure. There are four milk frothing settings: steamed milk, thick or thin froth, and even cold froth. The Thick Froth setting for creating microfoam is perfect for making latte art and cappuccino. The temperature control is also very convenient for espresso. The 2-liter water tank is large enough for multiple cups. With the built-in scale and bean grinder, I always have the right amount of ground coffee and less mess.
Nice features include the bean hopper with UV protection, which keeps the beans fresh longer, the measuring marks in the milk carafe, and the self-cleaning milk frother and self-cleaning steam wand.
User-friendly for beginners who want to dedicate a little more attention to their coffee, and offers plenty of room for experimentation for advanced users.
I had the opportunity to test this product for a few weeks.
