The Ninja Luxe Caf is a versatile espresso machine that shines for espresso, lattes, cold brew, and milk drinks, with easy setup, simple cleanup, and a smart frother that handles milk well. The machine can make rich, aromatic shots and has been used daily for years with strong results, while factory reconditioned units often arrive looking brand new. The main drawbacks are the limited 90 day warranty, occasional missing accessories or model swaps, and some clunky workflow for switching settings or making multiple drinks. Drip coffee can also be weak in larger pours, so it fits best if espresso drinks are the priority.
Common Questions (5)
Yes. It makes strong espresso and latte drinks, with several owners using it daily for years and describing the shots as rich and aromatic. The automatic milk steaming/frother is a standout feature for lattes and hot chocolate.
It often arrives looking brand new, sometimes with only tiny signs of reconditioning such as a small drip-tray mark, tape on the unit, or a little coffee dust in the grinder. Some buyers also received the Costco ES655CO version instead of the listed ES601.
The ES655 Costco version adds a single-shot basket option and an extra froth setting. The ES601 is commonly reported with double and quad-shot baskets only, and some units arrive as the ES655CO model even when the listing says ES601.
It usually needs some initial fine-tuning of grind size and a few test shots, and it works best with decent beans. After that, it is described as easy to use and easy to clean, though making multiple drinks can take time because coffee and milk are handled one at a time.
The listing's limited warranty is only 90 days, so an extended warranty is often recommended if you want more protection. One owner also reported a later heating/control-board failure on a refurb and said buying new from Costco would have been safer for warranty coverage.
