Is the Ninja Luxe Café Premier worth it?

It makes sense if you regularly drink espresso drinks and drip coffee and want one machine for both. If you mostly drink plain drip coffee, a simpler brewer costs far less.

How does it compare with a dedicated espresso machine?

It trades some espresso control for convenience and adds drip and cold brew. Serious espresso hobbyists may prefer a dedicated machine with a standard portafilter and a separate grinder.

The ES601 is a brewer, not a grinder. You need a separate burr grinder for espresso, and a consistent fine grind matters most for results.

How long does cold brew take?

Cold brew is a slow steep, typically many hours, so plan ahead rather than expecting a quick batch. Check the machine's guide for the recommended steep time.

Expect the machine, a portafilter and brew baskets, a milk frothing pitcher or carafe, and a drip coffee carafe. Confirm the exact accessory list with the retailer before ordering.

Our take on the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Espresso, Drip Coffee & Cold Brew

The Ninja Luxe Café Premier (ES601) is a three-in-one countertop machine that pulls espresso at 9 bar, brews drip coffee, and makes cold brew. It stands out for combining all three methods in one footprint, with an assisted tamping and milk-frothing setup aimed at people who want café-style drinks without learning a manual workflow. It is a large, silver, residential machine built by SharkNinja. Pricing moves around promotions, so check the current quote against recent sale prices before buying.
