Whether you're looking for your first bean-to-cup coffee machine or to upgrade your much-loved one, there’s more choice than ever before, whether you value control, convenience or a balance of both. Plus, there's plenty of Black Friday deals to help you find your perfectly matched machine for less.
How do the Ninja Luxe Café coffee machines work?
What is a bean to cup coffee machine?
A bean to cup coffee machine grinds whole beans, tamps the grounds, and brews fresh coffee automatically at the touch of a button. Freshly ground beans deliver the best flavour and aroma, offering an experience other types of coffee machines cannot match.
Are the Ninja Luxe Café machines automatic?
The Ninja Luxe Café machines are semi-automatic rather than fully automatic, offering more of a balance between automation and hands-on preparation. The Mini, Premier and Pro all offer assistance with grinding, dosing and extraction, while the Premier and Pro also automate milk frothing. The Pro goes a step further with an integrated tamper, whereas the Mini keeps things more hands-on with a manual steam wand for those who enjoy the process of making coffee as much as they do drinking it.
For a more hands-off experience, the Ninja AutoBarista Automatic Espresso Machine is the fully automatic option. It sets the grind, brew and froth settings and offers 10 one-touch drink programmes – it's like having your own personal barista right there in your kitchen! It's perhaps better suited to those who want café-style coffee with minimal preparation.
How to clean Ninja Luxe Café machines?
Ninja recommends daily maintenance for keeping a clean coffee machine, ensuring that used grounds are knocked out, the portafilter rinsed, and the steam wand wiped immediately after use.
The individual parts of the machines detach easily and should be separated into dishwasher-safe and handwash-only items, before giving everything a good clean accordingly.
Most of the Luxe Café range are equipped with an indicator light, informing you to execute the 6-minute cleaning cycle, and an orange warning light, to let you know to run the 90-minute descale process.
This protects the performance of the machine and maintains great-tasting coffee.

What can you make in Ninja Luxe Café machines?
The options are vast and varied as to what you can make in Ninja Luxe Café machines. Depending on the model, you can make espresso-based drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos and Americanos, alongside filter coffee, iced coffee, cold brew and cold-pressed coffee. The cold settings also make them useful for fun recipes such as espresso martinis and shaken espresso, while the milk-frothing functions open up options for flavoured lattes and other café-style creations.
What about hot chocolate? While there isn’t a dedicated hot-chocolate setting, the milk system can heat and froth milk, so you can use this to prepare the milk for a delicious hot chocolate before combining it with your favourite hot chocolate powder.
