I never thought I’d regret taking advantage of a good deal… until that deal got even better.
During Amazon’s October Prime Day sale a couple of weeks ago, one of the highlights was an epic deal on the newly released Ninja Luxe Café, which brought it down to just AU$799. As a fan of all things Ninja Kitchen, I snatched one up, thinking the price surely couldn’t get any better on a freshly launched coffee machine.
After upgrading my ageing Sunbeam Barista Max to the Ninja Luxe Café, the machine has totally transformed my mornings. Typically, I’m up at the crack of dawn, and the only thing getting me out of bed promptly is a deliciously sweet iced coffee.
Before, the process of making my beloved bean beverage consisted of eyeballing the filter with the right amount of grinds, manual (yet messy) hand tampering and waiting ever so patiently for the steam wand to heat up. But now, waiting for my morning brew is a thing of the past, thanks to how quick and automated the Luxe Café is.
Its ‘Barista Assist Technology’ isn’t just marketing hot air: with this Ninja-branded tech, the machine offers me recommendations every time I grind my beans, automatically adjusting the settings based on how quickly the espresso extracts. While it doesn’t have dual boilers, it can act like a machine that does, pulling an espresso shot and frothing milk at the same time.
This has been an absolute timesaver for me, as I can pull my double shot and make my cold foam for my latte simultaneously at the touch of two buttons. Sure, I still have to hand tamp the grinds into the filter, but Ninja has thought of everything and provides a tamp funnel so the grounds all stay within the filter (and don’t end up all over the kitchen countertop!).
The Luxe Café also comes with three filter baskets in a range of shot sizes — single, double and quad — so you can make multiple espresso coffees at once (or give yourself a mega caffeine injection in one drink.) You can adjust your preferred drink size on the machine, too, and it’ll recommend the matching filter basket to use. For my morning iced coffees, I typically use the double filter with the espresso setting, though I have also used the cold-pressed setting, and the results were equally scrumptious.
Whatever your coffee preference, the Ninja Luxe Café basically does it all and makes it easy. That’s not just my opinion either – in our Ninja Luxe Café Premier review, our tester also found the espresso machine to be very intuitive and beginner-friendly. After two weeks of owning one, I can confidently say that I love the Ninja Luxe Café — and with this even deeper discount, I’m sure you will too.
