Ninja Espresso Machines

1 models · Updated · United States · Founded 2003

Ninja, part of SharkNinja, entered espresso from the drip-coffee side. The Luxe Café is a three-in-one machine that pulls espresso, brews drip and makes cold brew from a single conical burr grinder with 25 settings, with hands-free milk frothing driven by preset programs. It is aimed squarely at a household that wants one appliance rather than an espresso setup, and it is priced accordingly. Ninja publishes less brewing detail than the espresso specialists — pump pressure and portafilter size are not stated on its US product page, and we record those as unpublished rather than estimating them.

US warranty

Service & parts

Frequently asked

Where are Ninja espresso machines made?
Ninja does not publish a country of production on the US product pages for the models we track, so we record it as unpublished rather than guessing.
What is the cheapest Ninja espresso machine?
The Ninja Luxe Café Premier, at a published list price of $600. Note that list price is not the whole cost — beans, descaler, filters and electricity add a few hundred dollars a year on any machine.
Do Ninja machines need descaling?
Yes — every espresso machine that heats water does. Use the manufacturer's approved descaling solution every one to three months depending on your water hardness. Scale is what ends most machines, not use.
Are Ninja machines repairable?
Serviceability detail is limited on Ninja's published materials; the machine is supported through SharkNinja's own channel rather than a third-party parts ecosystem.
