Ninja Luxe Café Pro Series ES701UK

The real problem with high-end home espresso isn't the machine — it's the guesswork that turns a £600 investment into a source of daily frustration. The Ninja Luxe Café Pro ES701UK sidesteps this by combining a built-in burr grinder with guided brewing prompts, meaning you get grind-to-cup espresso without needing to understand extraction ratios or dial in pressure curves. That guided experience is what separates it from cheaper bean-to-cup machines that produce inconsistent results the moment you switch coffee bags.

Who Is This For?

This machine suits someone who wants genuinely fresh espresso at home — ground from whole beans, not pods — but doesn't want to spend months developing barista technique. If you're making two or three milk-based drinks a day and resent paying £5 a time at a café, the maths here works in your favour within a few months. If you already own a dedicated espresso machine with a separate grinder and enjoy the craft of manual dialling, this all-in-one approach will feel like a compromise rather than an upgrade.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the XL froth jug for producing genuinely textured microfoam — not the airy, dry froth that cheaper machines default to — and the grinder for being quieter than expected for a built-in unit. The most recurring criticism is the cleaning routine: the grinder chute and brew group require more frequent attention than the machine's polished presentation implies, and neglecting it noticeably affects flavour within a week.

The Deal

At £549.99 against a listed was-price of £699.99, that's a £150 saving — but our price history across 11 data points shows the current price is also the lowest and highest this product has ever tracked at, meaning the "was" price has not been independently verified through observed history. It may well be a genuine RRP reduction, but treat it as an introductory price rather than a confirmed discount. For more deals in this category, browse our best kitchen deals and best Ninja deals. If you want this machine, the price is fair — just don't rush on the assumption it's a limited-time rescue.
