Ninja Luxe Café Pro Series ES701UK

The ES701UK's most compelling trick isn't the built-in grinder or the guided brewing modes — it's the combination of both in a machine that actively walks you through the process, adjusting grind size recommendations based on the drink you've selected. For anyone who's spent good money on a separate grinder and espresso machine only to produce inconsistent results, that closed-loop approach is genuinely useful. It removes the most frustrating variable in home espresso: guesswork at the grind stage.

Who Is This For?

This machine is built for the enthusiastic home barista who wants café-quality espresso and milk drinks without the steep learning curve of a traditional two-piece setup. If you regularly spend £4–£5 on flat whites and want to bring that ritual home without buying a barista course alongside your equipment, this is a credible proposition. If you already own a capable standalone grinder and espresso machine and know how to dial them in, the integrated convenience here won't justify the outlay.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the XL froth jug for producing genuinely silky microfoam — a capability that separates it from most sub-£300 machines — and the guided interface gets credit for making the learning curve manageable from day one. The most common frustration is the cleaning routine: the grinder pathway and brew unit require regular, attentive maintenance, and owners who skip this find flavour quality deteriorates noticeably within weeks.

The Deal

At £549.99, reduced from £699.99, the saving is £150 — a solid 21% off. However, this product is newly tracked on our end, so we have no historical price data to confirm whether £699.99 is a genuine long-term RRP or a short-lived pre-promotion figure. It's worth cross-referencing against our best Ninja deals page before committing. Watch this one rather than rushing — a machine at this price point deserves verified price history behind it.
