The Ninja Luxe Café Mini ES301UK combines espresso, filter-style coffee and manual milk frothing in one compact machine. Barista Assist Technology provides grind recommendations and monitors brewing, helping you prepare café-style drinks with greater consistency.
- Compact 2-in-1 design: Brew espresso and filter-style coffee, hot or over ice.
- Built-in grinder: Choose from 60 grind settings with automatic recommendations.
- Weight-based dosing: An integrated scale measures the required amount of freshly ground coffee.
- Manual steam wand: Create customised microfoam for flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.
- Customisable brewing: Select from three coffee strengths and three temperature settings.
Buyer’s Best Pick: Compact Barista Control Without the Guesswork
The Ninja Luxe Café Mini ES301UK is our pick for coffee drinkers who want to move beyond pod machines but do not want the steep learning curve normally associated with a traditional espresso setup. Its built-in grinder, weight-based dosing and Barista Assist guidance remove much of the trial and error involved in choosing the correct grind size and coffee dose.
The manual steam wand is an important distinction. It takes a little more practice than Ninja’s automatic milk-frothing systems, but it gives you greater control over the temperature and texture of the milk—particularly useful when making flat whites, cappuccinos and lattes.
Its compact footprint also makes it especially suitable for smaller kitchens. Buyers who prioritise fully automatic milk preparation or dedicated cold-brew programmes may prefer one of the larger Luxe Café models, but for guided espresso, freshly ground filter coffee and hands-on milk control, the ES301UK offers an excellent balance of convenience, flexibility and countertop size.
Espresso and filter coffee from one machine
Prepare bold espresso for drinking alone or as the base for an Americano, latte, cappuccino or flat white. You can also brew authentic filter-style coffee using Classic, Rich or Over Ice settings.
Barista Assist Technology
Barista Assist Technology recommends the appropriate grind size and monitors brewing temperature and pressure. The integrated scale uses weight-based dosing to measure the correct quantity of ground coffee for the selected drink.
Integrated 60-setting grinder
The built-in burr grinder offers 60 settings, allowing the machine to grind more finely for espresso or more coarsely for filter coffee. Freshly ground beans travel directly into the portafilter using the included funnel.
Manual microfoam control
The manual steam wand lets you control the temperature and texture of dairy or plant-based milk. Create thinner microfoam for flat whites and lattes or a thicker texture for cappuccinos.
Compact countertop design
The ES301UK is 30% smaller than the Ninja Luxe Café Pro. The assisted tamper and dosing funnel can also be stored on top of the machine to keep essential accessories close at hand.
