Ninja Luxe Café Mini
Shrunken-down Luxe Café that keeps the built-in grinder, precision scale, and Barista Assist but swaps the auto frother for a manual steam wand - espresso plus hot and iced drip in a 12-inch footprint.
The compact Luxe Café with the hands-free frothing the Mini lacks: an AutoFroth temp-controlled steam wand with 3 presets joins the built-in grinder, precision scale, and assisted tamper for espresso plus hot and iced drip in a 12-inch chassis.
Ninja's first fully automatic espresso machine grinds, doses, tamps, brews, and froths hands-free, with dual swappable 340g bean hoppers, Grind iQ self-calibration across 50 settings, and 13 one-touch espresso, drip, and cold brew drinks.
