Anyone here have the Ninja Luxe Cafe espresso machine?

I’ve been using a cheap Gevi espresso machine and a separate Gevi bean grinder.
I want to step my game up. The things I don’t like about the Gevi, the espresso isn’t hot enough, and the frother doesn’t froth very well.
I have a single cup, cheap espresso machine at work, that I paid $5 for at a garage sale that froths better than the Gevi.
The Ninja looks pretty bad arse. It’s a smart machine, making slight changes after each grind and brew.
Its $500

The reviews I have seen say it’s a great machine. That being said there are drawbacks. Since the grinder is built in to the machine if it breaks you could be SOL. I find it’s better to have a separate grinder. I have also read where if you want to make coffee instead of espresso you have to turn the entire machine off since there is no way to toggle in and out of drink choices. These aren’t deal breakers but if you are looking exclusively for an espresso machine I would recommend the Breville bambino plus with the Baratza Encore ESP. Both can be had for under $500 total and can crank out very good quality espresso.

I’m looking for both espresso and coffee so MrsAntiqueTiger gets rid of that damn Kurig machine.

Ha ha ha ha I can understand that sentiment if that’s the case I think it’s a great option for you. I have other ninja products and I’ve been very happy with the quality

Looks decent. If I were in the market for that type of machine, I’d probably opt for this Ninja over a similar Breville.
