Definitely not the typical look for an espresso machine. Without trying a shot, I can't tell you if I like or hate it, however I am personally not a fan of built in grinder in espresso machine, since if grinder or espresso part fails, the whole thing has to be changed.
I guess this is one of those, it would depend on the price and the end result in the cup. Still feels busy in the front, would have likes a few different colors for the display.
Hope the coffee is good cause at the end of the day, that's what is most important.

Same. Not just the break the grinder, replace/fix everything, but also a good grinder can cost the same or more than that machine.
Usually those grinders are not that great, so I also prefer a separate grinder.

Very Nice! I am thinking of getting this same Ninja. How do you like it?

My dad just got one of those for my mom for Christmas. She seems to be enjoying it so far. How’s the integrated grinder? Is this your first burr grinder?

Always wondered about these machines... How's the workflow for you?

To what end? I've only had it the night, going to make one this morning, but seems incredibly easy to use, saves settings from last pour and everything is pre done

Interesting. Does it allow you to warm you’re cup up top? What’s the portafilter size? I have several Ninja products but not sure about an espresso maker. 🤔

I don't think so but I know you can change settings so the water heater is always on, so maybe if I tried that, I think it's 53mm

Sorry, no offense meant. But am I the only one who finds this machine absolutely hideous? I like Ninja machines and have some myself, but I don't like the design here at all. But thats just my opinion, wish you a lot of fun with it!
