Pros

  • Integrated tamper and grind-by-weight scale make prep nearly foolproof
  • 4.7 stars across 400+ Best Buy reviews - owners rave about the frother
  • Adds hot water spout, single baskets, and extra brew ratios the ES601 lacks
  • Heated brew group pulls genuinely intense shots through real unpressurized baskets

Cons

  • Flushes roughly 100ml of water between drinks, so the drip tray fills fast
  • No pressure gauge or temperature readout for shot diagnostics
  • 25 grind settings are coarse-grained for serious espresso dialing
  • 53mm portafilter ecosystem is proprietary to Ninja
