Ninja Luxe Premier 3-in-1 Coffee Machine (Gun Metal ES601UKGM) with built-in grinder and milk frother
Product description
The essentials
If you want a home machine that can cover more than one kind of coffee habit, the Ninja Luxe Premier 3-in-1 is built for exactly that. On paper, it combines an espresso machine focus with cold brew and filter coffee in one unit, and it also brings a built-in burr grinder plus an automated milk frother.
The appeal here is convenience without going fully “bean-to-cup then press a single button and hope” either. It’s closer to a hybrid: you get grind control (25 settings are mentioned), a guided control panel with recommendations and auto presets, and an automated froth wand that steams and whisks at the same time.
That 3-in-1 positioning matters if you regularly switch between a latte/cappuccino style drink, a colder coffee, and something that feels more like a filter cup. If you mainly drink one type of coffee and never touch milk or cold drinks, you may find this approach overkill—big machines cost space, and features you don’t use tend to be wasted.
What to know before you buy
This is a substantial countertop machine (17 kg is stated) with generous dimensions, so it’s not a quick “clear the kitchen worktop and go” buy. If your plan is to keep it out of the way most of the time, you’ll likely want to measure first.
The frothing side is one of the stronger points. The automated froth wand is designed for hands-free micro foam, and it includes four automated froth presets: Steamed Milk, Thin Froth, Thick Froth and Cold Froth. In practice, that’s the sort of feature that can reduce the guesswork—especially if you’ve tried frothing milk manually and found it inconsistent.
One limitation to keep in mind: the description doesn’t spell out every technical detail (for example, specific brew pressure/temperature), so if you’re very specific about espresso extraction metrics, you may need to check further product documentation from the seller or Ninja before committing.
Where it shines day to day
What you’ll notice is the “all-in-one” workflow. You can grind with the built-in grinder, use the supplied portafilter/baskets setup, and then let the frother handle the milk transformation.
A practical micro-scenario: suppose it’s weekday morning and you want a cappuccino. You can choose an automated froth preset, steam and whip the milk at the same time (as described), then pull your espresso through the included single or double basket options—without pulling out separate grinders or frothers.
For cold brew fans, the 3-in-1 concept is meant to cover cold brew alongside espresso and filter coffee. For filter lovers, the machine is also positioned as offering café favourites at home, rather than forcing you into one brewing method.

Who it suits (and who should look elsewhere)
It’s a good fit if you want one machine that can handle espresso-style drinks, milk-frothed coffees, and also give you a route into cold brew and filter coffee—without buying separate appliances. If you’re the sort of person who enjoys dialling in your grind somewhat (25 settings is mentioned) but still likes the machine to provide guidance with recommendations and auto presets, this approach makes sense.
It may not suit you if your routine is narrow (for example, you only ever drink straight black filter and never milk). In that case, the extra complexity and countertop footprint might feel like too much.
You may also want to skip it if you’re shopping for something light and portable, because 17 kg means it’s very much a “stationary” kitchen appliance.
Care, setup and small checks that matter
Before the first brew, it’s worth taking the water side seriously. The listing includes a water hardness test kit, which suggests you’ll want to calibrate for your local water conditions for consistent results and easier upkeep.
Also, consider how you’ll manage cleaning. A cleaning brush and cleaning kit are included, but automated frothers can still require regular attention (especially if you frequently use milk). If you’re not willing to clean promptly, the benefits of the milk presets can quickly turn into a chore.
When it makes sense?
This Ninja Luxe Premier 3-in-1 coffee machine is worth considering if you want a single machine that covers espresso plus milk-based favourites, and you also want cold brew and filter coffee options in the same setup. The built-in burr grinder, 25 grind settings, and four automated froth presets are the main reasons it can feel genuinely “practical” rather than just feature-heavy.
However, it’s not the best choice if you want a compact machine, or if you only drink one coffee style and would be paying for features you’ll ignore. If you’re someone who likes experimenting a bit (grind settings) but also wants the frothing process to be guided, it should fit your routine more naturally.
