Pros

  • Two swappable 340g hoppers switch between beans or decaf instantly with no purge
  • Grind iQ self-calibrates across 50 grind settings by monitoring flow rate and pressure
  • FrothPerfect steam-and-whisk system makes genuinely silky microfoam in 5 styles, dairy or plant-based
  • Real 53mm brew group packs up to 27g pucks - far bigger doses than Philips or Jura super-autos

Cons

  • Slow per-drink cycle - reviewers clocked 2-3 minutes of grinding and prep before pouring
  • Grind iQ calibration burns through roughly 200g of beans and only allows a ±2-step manual offset
  • Huge for a counter machine at 39 lbs and nearly 18 inches deep, with a rear-access water tank
  • Brand-new May 2026 release - only 3.4 stars on Ninja's own site amid early reliability complaints
