Hey buddy, the last part of your video really tugged at my heart strings. I have only seen a few videos, but as I am currently waiting on my Ninja Luxe Cafe to be delivered, AND as someone that has had Ninja coffee machines for 6 years, AND as someone that has never had any experience making espresso, THANK YOU. You are not 'Just A Dad', you are a hero to people like me. I am SOOO excited for my machine to get here, I keep refreshing my FedEx page to see the package status, but you share my excitement and happiness. Cannot wait to watch the rest of your videos on this amazing machine. The bottom of my heart, thank you!
Not sure if you realized but you have to twist your tamper before use to activate the internal spring mechanism. I see your tamper is not spring activated, I learned the hard way. They should add another sticker that notes you need to twist top of tamper. After that the tamper works amazingly! The tamper should spring up after you apply the downward pressure 😆
Thanks to Ninja for that removable sticker on top! Can’t tell you how many stickers that basically are permanent that I’ve tried to remove and more than half of the sticker remained on the machine. Well done Ninja, it’s the little things that count. Looks like a great machine at a great price. Can’t wait until I can actually buy one in Canada….. Great video! You think of everything and all my questions and concerns were addressed. It does appear your tamper wasn’t working properly. Thank you for this great video!
I brought this ninja coffee maker .. and I started viewing a lot of videos.. but this is the best review and very helpful to me to start all the set up .. thanks very much it helps me a lot..
Hi, I’m so glad that you did a review on this. Also thank you for getting back into coffee makers. That is my favorite videos that you post. Hope to hear from you.
Very impressive machine, with an even more impressive back story to your channel. I too used to say expresso before I was educated that it was actually pronounced espresso 😂 I will check out your original Mr Coffee video as your story on how you got started is fascinating 😁 Keep up the great work Mr Dad. Your videos are a godsend ❤
I returned the Delonghi Eletta Explore for the Ninja Luxe Cafe. I will never need 50 types of coffee and the Ninja does what I need. Also can’t do latte art on the Explore. The Ninja I can put in manual mode and get perfect microfoam. Plus I got it for $450 versus a $2000 machine. It’s a no brainer. I got extra insurance on the machine too just in case. My only gripe is no hot water dispenser and no single shot espresso. A double shot gets me waaaay too wired 😂 Other than that this is the perfect machine!
Got mine today. The dialing in was all over the place initially. Went from grind size 12 to 10 to 8 to 9 back to 10 and then landed on 10. 5 double's to dial in but I think it is dialed in now. Excited to give it a good go this week.
@@haha7836hahah ninja machine is still very new and like with all new appliances reliability could be an issue. Barista express has been around for awhile so it has more history. Also the two machines are really for two different groups of coffee drinkers. Ninja is more for a regular coffee drinker who really doesn’t want to dive deep into coffee whereas the breville is more for the beginner coffee enthusiast.
I am a espresso guy and Honestly this machine in my opinion is it a really good , take less time and learning to do I have a Breville barista express and I am going to sell it and buy this one..
In my opinion I would hold off on that. Barista express has been around awhile and is built to last. There’s a reason it’s sold so many units. Ninja is a kitchen appliance company and longevity may be an issue with this.
Really nice machine and a great demonstration! Great job. Now since you are so excited with this machine, you have to get what I had asked you to demonstrate the Gaggia Valasca Prestige! You will love it. 😊
Just got this machine, it successfully worked on the first grind of espresso but unfortunately the 2nd attempt the grinder now does not grind beans. I did a live video chat with Ninja, we troubleshooting with no fix until they confirmed the machine is faulty. Now have to wait for a replacement once they are back in stock
I think you’re supposed to push the portafilter all the way into the grinder until it clicks into place. Like I haven’t seen any other videos where it’s putting that much ground coffee into the basket like yours.
This looks interesting. Probably not my cup of tea. Lol. I'm wanting to see the new Keurig K-brew+ chill. I drink a hot and an iced coffee everyday. And a little more somedays. Thanks for the thorough review. Cheers to you. Edit to add-I'd live to see more videos with your drink recipes.
I'm not sure what's wrong with your tamper. It is spring-loaded, and yours seems jammed. Mines makes a perfectly flat packed puck. You really should even out your grounds before tamping. Your pucks did not look good at all. Im also not sure how you have so much wiggle room with the grinder settings. I use petes major Dickinsons blend. Its a dark roast, and im at grind setting 1. Cant go any finer
I just got my luxe cafe today i did the rinse then went to pull first shot and on the first shot my current grind was matching the recommended grind so was i supposed to pull more shots or was i just lucky on first grind?Thankyou!
@@Jamezee312 I promise you the grinder works wonderfully. Buy it, the machine is really a game changer and robustly made! It is a nice solid unit! I will be surprised if you regret the purchase once you see how amazing it is.
So you and COUNTLESS influencers are essentially getting paid for your reviews! OF COURSE you and other influencers make more dough by recommending a product! Honestly hard to trust any of you RUclips influencers
My wife has worked as a barista for years and she’s impressed by it upon our first use. It is sooooooooo good
That’s it! You helped me make the decision. Had my heart set on the Philips 5500 for $1,100. You just saved me $600!! Thanks!

I really enjoyed you talking about the history of your channel. Keep up the great work. Love the Ninja reviews
Thanks a bunch!

Thank you for this great video!
Your excitement for this is palpable... and I love it! It's already sold out on the website (as of now).
It's so good!

My pleasure 😊
Awesome machine just got one
Great video!!! I have your video of how to descale a Keurig Duo saved & rewatch it every time I descale. Your directions are so good! Thank you!!!
Awesome! Thank you!

We literally just bought one yesterday. I literally just came across your video 😅.

I'm so happy for you I'm definitely gonna save for this and buy one in a few months and I'm excited for the Videos to come 💗
Yay! Thank you!
I really love your videos, how detailed is your explanation, well done. Kudus for you. Regards from Montreal, CAN.
You are such a likeable guy honestly
Great review thank you ❤ in its introduction it's mentioned that you first have to make 2-3 cups of each coffee so that the machine can calibrate
Yes, correct. its called dialing it in, i show you how to do this in this video. you make 2 to 3 espressos to dial it in
👍@@JustADad
Mine finally arrived too! It’s unopened… I need to try it! So exciting!
Thanks for the review ❤ Looks like a GREAT machine I wouldn’t mine getting one of those. COFFEE LOVER HERE!
You are so welcome!

Well that's it! Selling the Barista Express 😂
I wouldn’t recommend that but your choice.
@@JT-zy2ftwhy? I am looking to buy a machine. Can you please elaborate

After listening to your excellent review, I will be purchasing one when in stock! Thank you so much🫶🏾
Ohh, I commented too early. I'm glad you got the K-brew and chill. Can't wait.
Just ordered me some coffee. Looking forward to it. Thank you for all your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!

@@JT-zy2ft you absolutely right , we have to wait until al error and pro and cons..
Thank you for explaining how to use this
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome video! Can’t wait for your other videos on this awesome espresso machine. I want this one , but I love my Kitchenaid
Mine arrives tomorrow

I did a live video chat with Ninja, we troubleshooting with no fix until they confirmed the machine is faulty. Now have to wait for a replacement once they are back in stock
Yeah unfortunately that’s common in combo units.
pretty sure the top of the machine is a cup warmer
I’ve just purchased this here in the uk so looking forward to it thanks for the helpful video do you ship your coffee to the UK
Sorry we do not at this time.

Is it hard to swap beans? What if someone wants just regular coffee beans or Decaf?
Can u make strong cuban coffee with it? My mom will love it if it can.
I'm not sure what's wrong with your tamper. It is spring-loaded, and yours seems jammed. Mines makes a perfectly flat packed puck. You really should even out your grounds before tamping. Your pucks did not look good at all. Im also not sure how you have so much wiggle room with the grinder settings. I use petes major Dickinsons blend. Its a dark roast, and im at grind setting 1. Cant go any finer
Should I just get this product now?I'm new to the coffee world.
Or should I wait for them to make a new edition?
I like that coffee maker I think that be too much for me to Run and it’s very expensive and I like it how’s it going for you
What is the silver hot plate thing on the top for?
most likely to put your mugs to keep them warm. This is something higher end machines offer and they are probably trying to do the same.
Mug heating plate
cup warming before you brew your drink into it
Do you think they will upgrade a new model don't see how to improve other than automatic tamping!
That tamp is supposed to spring down. Something not right! Those first two setup shots suffered because of it.
I just tried it, it now works how it should, thanks
Hoffman says the problem is coffee weight team versus time
Nice! How hot is the espresso ?
I have this machine. I set my brew temp to maximum. I don't find it that hot. But certainly makes a great coffee or espresso
very hot about 160 but that was on the middle temp setting
I just got my luxe cafe today i did the rinse then went to pull first shot and on the first shot my current grind was matching the recommended grind so was i supposed to pull more shots or was i just lucky on first grind?Thankyou!
How heavy is it??
OMG what a lot of faffing about for a coffee. I’ll stick with my DeLonghi Magnifica S thank you.
…..Ninja?
Not sure how long it will last….
Let’s see the 1yr review
KIRSY Leaves swimwear swimwear from Tesco❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
JUST BOUGHT ONE.. BUT GOT THE ESSENTIAL.. DOES 2 THING.. NO COLD FROTH.. BUT PAID LESS...BE CAREFUL IF YOU WANT THE PREMIER MODEL..
Your tamper needs to be turned. it's spring loaded
The grinder sounds really weak, unfortunately.
i want this but yes i agree the grinder worries me.
It’s not! It is a conical burr grinder and works amazing! This machine is amazing and very well built!!!!
@@thriving_on_plantz2347 I have a Baratza and it doesn't sound like it's straining like the Ninja... Night and day difference.
Other than that it seems like a very user friendly machine...
@@Jamezee312 I promise you the grinder works wonderfully. Buy it, the machine is really a game changer and robustly made! It is a nice solid unit! I will be surprised if you regret the purchase once you see how amazing it is.
Problem with Ninja products like this is longevity
Yeah that’s why I can’t recommend this for someone who’s going to be using it a lot. I would give it maybe 2 to 3 years.
Bored the last 10 min
