Ninja just dropped its most exciting coffee maker yet: the Luxe Café Premier Series and I can't wait to try it. This is Ninja's first foray into the world of luxury espresso machines, and it's a barista-ready brewer that can make drip coffee, espresso, and even rapid cold brew. The Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series is the first of Ninja's machines to offer an in-built conical burr coffee grinder, which features 25 settings to provide a grind size for every type of brew.

Creating a grinder that's capable of making coarse grounds for drip coffee and the ultra-fine grounds needed for quality espresso is a real challenge, so I'm looking forward to testing how well Ninja has achieved this when I get my hands on this latest launch. Perhaps the most exciting element of this launch is that the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series costs only $499 . While that's still significantly more expensive than many of the best coffee makers on the market, it's a really competitive price for a top espresso machine with an integrated grinder.

What we know about the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series Although it's clearly a capable machine, the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series is jut 13.2 inches deep, 13.6 inches wide and 14.

6 inches tall, so while it's decidedly larger than most Keurig machines , it won't take up too much space on your counter. Not content with simply being a barista-style coffee maker, the machine offers "3-in-1 versatility" with a setting for drip coffee, espresso, and cold brew. So.
