Ninja Prestige DualBrew System in Black

The genuinely clever thing about this machine is the dual-system approach: you can pull a capsule-based espresso drink for yourself in the morning, then brew a full 1.8-litre carafe of filter coffee when family arrives for Sunday lunch — without owning two separate appliances or clearing extra worktop space. For households where coffee preferences genuinely differ, that flexibility has real practical value rather than being a spec-sheet novelty.

Who Is This For?

This suits households with mixed coffee habits — someone who wants a quick, consistent espresso-style drink on weekday mornings alongside a partner who prefers a large, slow-sipped filter brew. It also works well for people who entertain regularly and need carafe capacity without sacrificing single-serve convenience. If you drink only one style of coffee and drink it alone, you're paying for redundant functionality; a dedicated filter machine or a standalone capsule brewer will serve you better for less.

What Buyers Say

Owners of Ninja's DualBrew range consistently praise the carafe coffee quality, noting it brews hotter and cleaner than most entry-level filter machines at this price point. The capsule compatibility with standard Nespresso-style pods is also well-regarded for convenience. The most repeated criticism, however, is the drip tray size — it needs emptying more frequently than users expect, and those transitioning from pod-only machines often find the filter basket and carafe setup adds more cleaning steps than they anticipated. Build quality is generally considered solid, but the water reservoir is noted as slightly awkward to remove for refilling.

The Deal

The Ninja Prestige DualBrew is currently £179.99, reduced from £249.99 — a £70 saving representing 28% off. However, this product is newly tracked on our site, so we have no historical price data to confirm whether £249.99 is a genuine long-term RRP or an inflated reference point. That warrants caution: it may well be a strong offer, but without price history, the "was" figure cannot be independently verified. Watch this one rather than rushing in.
