The quality of espresso it produces isn't amazing but it's pretty good. It's plenty good enough for someone that isn't an experienced espresso snob and it gives you just the right amount of training wheels so that you can make consistently good espresso drinks. The workflow is pretty good and it's a good gateway machine to use for a few years before you decide if you want to move up to the next level (dedicated grinder, espresso machine, steam wand, etc.)
A good alternative to this if you have the patience and want to learn is probably a baratza encore esp/df54/shardor 64 grinder + breville bambino and this would still be a competitive price compared to the ninja but the ninja can also make coffee/iced drinks if you want it to.
Been watching this for a while and choose this as my 'starter machine'

I so don't need this, but I can't disregard the deal!
This is an excellent espresso machine for the price. Unfortunately, I don't know why people get snobbish when it comes to espresso machines and brand equity matters so much to people. A gaggia or a Jura would indeed be better, but then those are $2000 machines. And every professional review of this machine puts it on par with Breville machines that are $1000. I like Breville machines. I've had one for 8 yrs. But they are kinda overpriced. And they are unreliable. Just read the 20% 1-star reviews on Amazon for the impress (the competitor to this ninja).
Anyway, this ninja machine is great for anyone buying an espresso machine for the first time. You get to understand what dosing in a shot means. And it has great features like regular coffee and hot water. If you don't like this machine -- ESPECIALLY at this price point, you are too blinded by branding. Is this a perfect machine -- No. I think the 'hidden' menu that's in the manual, should not have been hidden. It's a weird oversight to have those options, but one has to refer to the manual to get to those. I think they needed to keep costs down and so didn't have a screen, that's why they resorted to this hidden menu. But it's still weird. Like milk temperature should not be a hidden menu, for example. Yeah, it's just a couple of presses. It most people won't even read the manual and will not even realize there is a milk temperature setting separate from espresso temperature setting. In any case, where the fundamentals matter- this machine delivers. If you don't care about 'advertising' what brand you purchased get this. It'll be just as good as a De'Longhi or Breville and a much better price. And read the manual -- it has extra features like manual frothing and milk temp settings which are not apparent till you read the manual.

We still don't know about its long-term reliability, so that will remain to be seen.
