Community Reviews
This Ninja Luxe Cafe espresso machine stands out for easy espresso and latte making, with automatic milk steaming and enough flexibility for drip coffee, cold brews, and fancy drinks. The refurbished units often arrive looking nearly new, include all parts, and have made coffee costs pay back quickly for daily use. Cleaning is straightforward, though the machine can feel clunky, especially when switching grind settings, baskets, or handling the large milk jug. The main caution is warranty and repair support, since the factory reconditioned listing only carries 90 days and replacement parts can be hard to source.
Common Questions (5)
At around $250, it can be a strong value if you'll use it often, since it can pay for itself by replacing coffee shop drinks. The main caveat is that the 90-day limited warranty is short, so an extended warranty or a new Costco purchase may be safer for long-term peace of mind.
Yes. Refurbished units have arrived looking practically brand new with only minor marks, and some buyers received the Costco ES655CO version instead of the listed ES601. That version may include slight upgrades and extra accessories like a tamper and more drink options.
Yes. It can make espresso, lattes, and regular drip coffee, and it also supports cold brew. The machine is especially useful if you want one appliance for both espresso drinks and drip coffee.
Yes. Automatic milk steaming is a standout feature, and it makes lattes and other milk drinks easier to prepare. The machine is also described as easy to use and easy to clean.
It can take some fine-tuning, and making several drinks may be slower because you may need to brew coffee and foam milk one at a time. The machine is also described as clunky to switch between grind settings, portafilter baskets, and the large milk jug.

Everything is included. I did however, receive a different model. It's the Costco model. Es655co. Some slight differences which can be upgrades from the es601. I'm super happy. Slick deal indeed.

Great machine. I bought one for my gf as a gift she loves cold brews. Was also new with all the sticky tapes.
i myself never use it because her settings are opposite than those for my lattes, it's a pita to switch back and forth the grind settings and swap portafilter baskets so I don't bother. Also the milk jug is huge and clunky and I hate handling it. I hate inserting portafilter and locking it in, it's pretty awkward I can't hold the whole machine as I wrench it in the way I do with my little one.
At my home I have a dedicated small Casabrews espresso machine and a grinder and I find them much easier and nicer to use although the actual amount of labor is the same but it feels like it's easier for some reason. I find Ninja to be very… clunky, super awkward and unwelcoming, idk… although it's all just a matter of habit I guess.
But… my gf loves it and that's all that matters
