This Ninja Luxe Caf\u00e9<\/a> claims to be the only \u201cno guesswork\u201d semiautomatic espresso machine that also comes with the ability to make drip coffee and cold brew. Using \u201cBarista Assist Technology,\u201d it can suggest what grind size to use based on the drink you\u2019re trying to make, ideally saving you a few minutes and some stress in getting your fresh-roasted beans dialed in right for an espresso.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It will also weigh the ground coffee coming out of the machine so you don\u2019t have to rely on inconsistent timed grinds. Afterward, you\u2019ll press the grounds with an assisted tamper, then, like most other espresso machines, manually install the portafilter in the group head.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But at $499<\/a>, its step-by-step guidance might be worth considering for espresso, coffee, and milk-based drinks during your morning rush that are a step above what you\u2019d get from pod machines like those from Nespresso or Keurig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n SharkNinja says the machine\u2019s automatic steamer and frother can prepare dairy and plant-based milk to the perfect texture<\/a>, including microfoam, that you can immediately pour from the jug to create your own latte art. For those who prefer cold coffee drinks, the machine can accommodate large glasses and extract lower-temperature coffee that you can drip right over ice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
