Ninja Luxe Cafe Premier ES601EUBK

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.

The Ninja Luxe Café Premier ES601EU is a versatile coffee machine that effortlessly makes espresso, filter coffee, and cold brew. Thanks to its smart features and milk frother, you can make barista-quality coffee at home. Stylish design and easy to clean. Highly recommended!

I had the opportunity to test this machine for several weeks. The Ninja Luxe Café Premier ES601EU is an excellent choice for coffee lovers who want to enjoy barista-quality espressos, cappuccinos, and latte macchiatos at home. After several weeks of use, I can say that this machine offers the perfect balance between ease of use and flexibility. The machine arrived in excellent packaging, and all components were securely and professionally packed. This immediately gave me a feeling of excellent quality, which was confirmed during testing.

Ease of Use The operation is simple and intuitive. With clear buttons and lights, brewing an espresso is easy, even if you're not an experienced barista. The removable water tank and easy cleaning options make maintenance effortless. Be sure to take the time to carefully study the manual, as making an espresso is truly simple. The manual includes many clearly described recipes. It's definitely a great addition to this machine.

Design and Build Quality The machine has a sleek, modern design with a robust appearance. The combination of stainless steel and high-quality plastic not only provides a premium look but also ensures durability. Its compact size fits easily on a standard countertop without taking up too much space. It's sure to be a statement piece in your kitchen.

Performance and Taste Experience The machine produces powerful, aromatic espressos with a beautiful crema. The steam wand allows you to create creamy milk froth for delicious cappuccinos or latte macchiatos. You do need a little patience when making a cappuccino or latte. Flexibility This machine offers the ability to fully customize your coffee. Coffee strength and temperature can all be adjusted to prepare your perfect cup of coffee. This flexibility is a great advantage, but it does mean it takes a while to brew the perfect cup of espresso. But I think this is also the charm of this device, because you have to go through a learning curve to get the best results.

So far very enthusiastic about making different drinks. Easy to do with the manual. For connoisseurs and people who can appreciate quality.
