Is it a deal breaker for you when there's no option for a full pot of coffee? If you liked this video, you might like this Ninja Dual Brew Pro Review as well! ruclips.net/video/AMAUC5pcWyw/видео.html
I think most people never brew more than 2 cups in the morning (maybe larger families with older kids), honestly the extra time to brew a second cup shouldn't be a dealbreaker if the coffee is way better
@JoesPhenomenal oh that's different, regular drip coffee has way less caffeine than espresso, I don't know the exact amount, but I'd estimate that a full pot can't have more than the equivalent to 4 shots Remember you can always water down espresso to make an americano
this is pretty interesting, under 500 bucks for an espresso machine with a grinder, scale, accessories (and a place to store them), i'd just replace the portafilter with a bottomless one. Seems like an extremely solid setup for great coffee at a competitive price
Interesting! I own a Lelit Italian espresso machine and Eureka Mignon Specialita grinder. The grinder cost the same as the coffee machine :) my point being the grind is important in espresso. I’m looking at options, a coffee machine for my business. I want something easy to use with a quality coffee to present. I will be watching your review with interest and curiosity!
@@JoesPhenomenal so far you haven’t disappointed with your thoroughness and attention to user-details which I really appreciate. I bought a Ninja Creami, your review helped influence that decision and I’m really happy with the result. I also own the 15-1 Foodi which is awesome! Also have the non-stick pans, you could say I’m a bit of a convert to their products. Your reviews are spot on!
Thanks.. Appreciate it. That company has really stepped up in recent years. I'm surprised they have so many inventory issues though. The espresso machines seem to be staying in stock so far though.
Oh, I like it! I only drink espresso so this is very interesting. I have a Nespresso that I love but maybe I'll look into this if mine ever dies (it's been going 7 years). Been mourning the loss of my beloved pet so slow on watching RUclips. 💔
@@JoesPhenomenal My condolences. They are little innocent fur babies who love us unconditionally. Such a hard loss. Another of my kitties just got home from the vet. She got subq fluids, antibiotics shot and blood work. I thought UTI but have to wait for results. They said she's fat 18.4 pounds.
@NessaRossini... My cat used to get urinary tract blockages all the time. Ended up having to do a surgery to "correct" it... He's been OK since though.
Nothing close to a Jura but that is the Rolls Royce of coffee machines. This I think will compete with the Breville and Phillips coffee machines. Got to admit that it is a very nice looking unit. Joe, these machines are not designed to make a pot of coffee but individual cups. If you want coffee by the pot get a drip filter machine or percolator.
@@JoesPhenomenal I wish I did, and those machines are indeed badass. When I was a Shark ambassador and promoting the vacuum range we made our coffee in store through a Jura. One button operation.
Based on your comment I went n searched for the jura you speak of. Couldn't find anything comparable to this machine. Just some automatic ones n ones with no grinder. So what's the model you're talking about?
Been looking to upgrade my kuerig for a while now, thanks for the info man. If you need more copyright free music that’s what we do. Great review/ unboxing
I have yet to see a ninja product that sucks, they are all great and hold up to the test of time. Yes, they use plastic, but they are definitely doing something right.
I get the plastic... Otherwise the cost would have to skyrocket. The only thing that I wasnt really super amazed with were the Blast portable blender and the Flip Toaster to a lesser degree... Liked em both, but if I had to rank them.....
Exactly my thoughts. I guess this will be addressed as soon as espresso gurus begin to test this machine. Tom, from Tom's Coffee Corner, will be reviewing the LUXE soon. However, I would expect (hope) nonpressurized baskets since Ninja touted the LUXE as being an 'easy but quality' solution to espressos. At 10:00, the video shows the bottom of the double shot basket and it seems like nonpressurized.
That's the whole point...reducing the use of K-cups when it doesn't get any fresher grinding your own beans with this new machine. Too much plastic in landfills with all those pods and K-cups!!
I have a review for the dual brew pro. I use that every day in the house. I suppose it depends on how much coffee you drink. The dual brew will do a carafe, and has a timer on it. but as far as a single cup goes, the flavor in this is really great. However, it grinds the beans fresh, and that makes a huge difference. If you grind the beans for the dual brew it's really great too. If you want espresso, capps, or lattes, I think this one is gonna be better based on the tiny bit of testing I've done so far though.
Good question...the single and double both use the double basket I think... still tryjing to mess with it for the review, but I will check that and let you know.
I saw that Ninja sells the bean hopper separately. Can I just get a second bean hopper to have one for crema beans for the drip coffee and one for espresso beans? Or is it not possible to keep them in there out of the machine?
That's a good question... You should be able to, but I'd have to look at the bottom of the hopper to see if beans would pour out. If I remember correctly, it should work. That's a great idea though.
@@JoesPhenomenal Believe it or not but Ninja upgraded the Ninja Luxe Café machine for the German market and added a hot water and americano function and even added a single espresso basket😅
@svenjabesch2266 hmm... Maybe a matter of having no choice given the market there around espresso? It's funny how much the models vary between counties!
@@JoesPhenomenal you don‘t really have anything comparable to this machine here on the market so I guess they just tried to optimize it after getting a lot of reviews requesting those things!
@@JoesPhenomenalthanks. I thought maybe you could tell by the look of the mechanism. But I think that ninja is clever enough to have their own lock mechanism 😀
Just missing a timer. It would be nice if I could grind some beans the night before, put the portafilter in, and have it pour my travel mug at 7am each morning as I'm getting ready for work, grab and go.
@bensiegel5574 when I've thrown them out, so far they come out pretty solid. I was pretty impressed with that. Last espresso machine I tried, they just sorta dripped and fell apart coming out. When I do the review on it, I should show that. I'm sure other people would want to know about that too.... I hate the messes myself, too by the way.
That wasn't normal milk. All I had at the time was nofat ultra pasteurized stuff. I've tried it since then with full fat, and the froth was right up near the top of the cup. So that would be my fault. Sorry for that. Making a note of that for the review.
It tasted really good... I'm thinking maybe that cup was too big to show it off... Also, I probably could have primed the machine a second time before I made a cup... I'd say that's more on me than the machine.
This machine is great for people who don’t know much about espresso and don’t want to deal with the hassle of dialing in a shot and all its variables. For those people, this is convenient and the easiest path to making coffee drinks. For an espresso enthusiast who enjoys the craft, this machine is an abomination lol
It may be an abomination, but hot damn! If it reduces the amount of having a coffee grinder, espresso machine and the workflow is easier, neat and tidy, no fuss, no muss, I'm all for it!!
its funny how half the time you pretend you are seeing it for the first time but them you seem to know so much about it the other half the time, ill never buy anything from somewhere that treats its customers like morons.BTW that is not a macchiato , macchiato is an espresso 'stained' with a spoon of milk, that thing looks like a milkshake
Heya. The unboxing in that video is sight unseen. I do those because it's fun to share inital reactions. Once I got the box open and all the tape off, I had to read the quickstart guide first, off camera though to figure out how to run the water hardness test. Also, after that, I messed up and I didn't run an empty brew to prime the machine and had to do it again for the firsr brew. That's why I had a text overlay in there about being sure to run a cycle empty before starting to use it. Other than that, theres really only a few buttons on it, so it's straight forward. I worked for Wolfgang Puck for several years, and I when I first started, I was the espresso machine guy for a while, so I've used them for a bit. In any case, my point isn't trying to sell anyone one anything, just to maybe show people what's in there, so if it's not for them they don't have to waste a bunch of time buying and returning stuff. Sorry ya felt that way though. I never want to make anyone feel dumb. I do that to myself, plenty. LOL. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts regardless. It's always welcome!

@JoesPhenomenal oh that's different, regular drip coffee has way less caffeine than espresso, I don't know the exact amount, but I'd estimate that a full pot can't have more than the equivalent to 4 shots

@blukins8 maybe that's why my eye is still twitching!
U
I've had mine for a week; this former barista is very happy with their new toy.
That's awesome that they actually use the machine before packaging it up. Breville / Sage could learn a thing or two from Ninja.
I was really surprised by that.
👊 The new studio is looking great Joe ... All your hardwork has paid off 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks! Still not quite there... But it farther along than in this video now.
Ninja keeps taking all my money!!! 😂❤
I know the feeling. 😉
There's a difference between being mugged and volunteering.😂😂

Can't wait to really put it to the test. It's promising though.
@bradley7506 oh geez.... I'm in the USA. My son played in the CFL, and we were up there for the Grey Cup last season... The exchange rate was wild.
Regarding the Ninja Certification-The toxic part in me would be angry I just paid all that money for a used machine😂
You know.... that went through my mind for a second also. lol
Just bought one, I really hope it's worth the price. Better be lol.
Lol. Hope you like it! Tell me what you think when it comes in.

Can we gwt a look at the bottom of the coffe baskets? Are they pressurized or non pressurized?
@@pizzajeff-nola I think the machine produces 9 bar max. When I do the review I'll be sure to give ya a good look at those baskets though.

LOL. nice
What is the size of the box? Wondering if it would fit in my suitcase
I don't have it handy but it's big.... On the safe side I would say 25x25x25 and about 33lbs
Man I love/need a good coffee in my life. I have tried a few Panasonic & De'Longhi machines. What an awesome setup you built. I like it :)
Thanks! It's getting there. Almost finished. How did you like the De'Longhi?
@@JoesPhenomenal I liked it, but it was an older machine that does grinding, pressing, and pouring.
@smika710 ahh.. I think I know which one it might be.
Now Ninja needs to make a fully automatic that can be used with coffee beans/ground. But also kcups.
That's the whole point...reducing the use of K-cups when it doesn't get any fresher grinding your own beans with this new machine. Too much plastic in landfills with all those pods and K-cups!!
I'm sure it's on the way! They'll just slap a Deluxe or xl monicer right on there. 🙂
That's a good observation.
Really contemplating this one or the ninja dual brew pro. Which one would you recommend?
I have a review for the dual brew pro. I use that every day in the house. I suppose it depends on how much coffee you drink.

Joe's!Hi~ you did good video~ciao! 💫
Thank you! 😃
Nice video fun and informative
Thanks!
When is this lovely coming to uk
Hopefully soon.... It just got released here.
We only use filtered water from the machine across the street. We don't drink our water in our home. Have not drink tap water in my home in 16 years.
Better for your body in general... For your appliances too!
How do you make a single shot? Only showed a double & quad basket
Good question...the single and double both use the double basket I think... still tryjing to mess with it for the review, but I will check that and let you know.
My ninja lux will be delivered next monday. Any chance anyone knows what size the portafilter is. I would love to get my screen ahead of time
I can measure it if ya like.
@@JoesPhenomenal thank you. Would be much appreciated
@stanleyderochea6505 I only have a tape measure in standard measurements, but it's 2 1/4 inches inside diameter.
@@JoesPhenomenal thank you very much. I can convert that
@@JoesPhenomenal that makes it a 57.15 mm
no single shot basket?
Weird, huh?
I prefer my Breville Oracle Touch
can it froth and brew espresso at the same time?
If you're doing cold froth yes. If hot, you can set it to go, and it will autostart when the coffee gets done.
I saw that Ninja sells the bean hopper separately. Can I just get a second bean hopper to have one for crema beans for the drip coffee and one for espresso beans? Or is it not possible to keep them in there out of the machine?

Thank you, Kindly.
can you please tell me box dimensions and weight?
I don't have the box anymore, but on the high end it was about 25x25x25 34 lbs.
What size is portafilter (mm)?
57.15 mm inside measurement.
How was that first cup of coffee?
It was delicious.... And the studio smelled like espresso for hours after that too...
It's so big going to need it's own room
Is the brew basket pressurized or standard?
I believe it's standard. I think it has the same number of holes on the top and bottom. will have to check and get back to you.
Just checked. It's standard.
How many bar of pressure does this machine put out?
I've heard 9 bars
9 bar
Could you use a third party filter on this? Has anyone tried yet?
I haven't seen one yet, but it just came out.
@@JoesPhenomenalthanks. I thought maybe you could tell by the look of the mechanism. But I think that ninja is clever enough to have their own lock mechanism 😀
