Ninja Prestige CFN802UK 2-in-1 filter coffee & pod capsule machine with built-in milk frother (black)
Product description
At a glance
If you want one machine to cover both capsule drinks and proper filter-style coffee, the Ninja Prestige CFN802UK is designed for exactly that. It combines a filter coffee brewer with compatibility for Nespresso Original-style pods, plus a built-in milk frother so you can make drinks like lattes and flat whites without needing a separate milk frother.
On paper, this “two systems in one” approach is where the value sits: you can switch between filter coffee (including over ice options) and capsule-based espresso-style drinks, then lean on the frother to add milk-based variety.
What it’s for (and what it’s not)
This is aimed at households that like choice. You’re likely to enjoy it if different people in the home want different coffee styles—some prefer the convenience and repeatability of pods, while others want the richer, classic feel of filter coffee.
It may not be your best move if you’re chasing maximum barista precision. Dual-purpose machines like this can do a lot, but they’re often a compromise compared with single-purpose setups: you’re buying convenience and flexibility first, not ultimate control.
Key features that matter in daily use
The headline is the 2-in-1 setup. You can brew Nespresso Original capsules and also brew filter coffee, with options for different styles and drink sizes.
For capsule drinks, the machine is set up to brew up to 4 styles and drink sizes using Nespresso Original capsules and other 3rd party brands. Ninja notes it’s not affiliated with Nespresso or other brands, which is worth remembering when you’re thinking about your pod supply.
For filter coffee, you can choose a style such as Classic, Rich, or Over Ice, and you can select from 10 drink sizes—from cup options through to a full 1.8L carafe. That range is genuinely useful if you sometimes want a quick single mug, and other times you’re making enough for a group.
The built-in foldaway milk frother is the other big everyday piece. It’s there for espresso and milk-based drinks including cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and more. It also makes the machine feel more complete than “just a coffee maker”, because you can turn a capsule or coffee base into a milk drink.
The essentials: milk frother and iced drinks
The practical benefit of a built-in frother is that you don’t need to get out additional kit when you fancy a latte. In real-life terms, that matters on mornings when you’re juggling tasks and timing—fewer steps usually means more consistency and less faff.
Similarly, the Over Ice filter option is a clear nod to warmer days and “grab-and-go” routines. If you regularly want something cold without turning it into a whole process, having an ice-focused setting on the filter side can be handy.
One limitation to keep in mind: the details provided don’t spell out milk texture settings, so expectations should stay grounded. You’ll get milk-based drinks, but if you’re very particular about microfoam-level latte art, it’s worth thinking carefully.

Compatibility & requirements
Ninja states the machine is compatible with Nespresso Original capsules and other 3rd party brands (it also states Ninja isn’t affiliated with Nespresso or other brands). If you’re already using a specific pod range, it’s sensible to double-check it matches the “Nespresso Original” format before committing.
For filter coffee, you’ll simply be using ground coffee in whatever method you prefer, since the product positioning is geared to brewing filter styles like Classic, Rich, and Over Ice.
Pros and things to watch
What stands out: - Dual approach: capsules for convenience, and filter coffee for more classic styles - Built-in milk frother, so milk drinks don’t require extra equipment - Practical drink sizes, including travel mug options and a large 1.8L carafe
Worth noting (so you’re not surprised): - It’s not a dedicated single-style machine, so if you only ever want one type of coffee, you may not need all the extra capability - The details don’t cover milk-frothing controls, so if you’re after very specific textures, you may need to manage expectations
Practical “who will like it” examples
If you’re the sort of household where one person wants a strong capsule espresso-style drink and another wants filter coffee on a weekend, this setup is designed to reduce friction. You can brew a capsule drink for one cup, then switch to filter and make something like a Rich or Over Ice style for the rest of the table.
If you often host, the ability to go from smaller cup sizes up to a 1.8L carafe helps—rather than brewing in batches, the machine is set up for larger output when needed.
Is it worth it?
It makes sense if you want a single machine that covers capsule drinks and filter coffee styles, with a built-in milk frother for lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites. The range of drink sizes and the inclusion of an Over Ice filter option add to the “daily driver” feel, especially for mixed preferences at home.
You may want to skip it if you already know you’ll only drink one style of coffee and you’d rather avoid paying for features you won’t use. It could also be a slightly risky pick if your priority is very fine control over milk texture, because the information provided doesn’t detail frothing customisation.
