To buy an expensive ninja coffee machine

I love homemade fresh pizzas but the ninja oven hasn’t managed to convert me yet. We just have proper pizza stones in our oven

I’m a ninja fan but nothing will tear me away from sage when it comes to coffee machines. We have the Oracle Touch and it makes the best cup of coffee (which I enjoy in my ninja sip perfect 😁)

It will almost certainly be repeated.

Black friday is renowned for decent coffee deals- it'll likely go cheaper

I have the outdoor pizza oven. I can highly recommend it. We now make our own pizzas and they taste amazing!

I now want the coffee machine after reading all these responses.

@dizzyupthegirl86 I use Causeway coffee which is local to me - The NW Coast of N. Ireland :) They win awards with every roast they bring out , not cheap , but OMG delicious ( I dont pay those prices you see online, I get a hefty discount cos I go in an annoy them for a while with my chat lol )

Tuiren is the one Ive landed on after trying most of the others, which are all excellent but Tuiren is the blend for me

We have a Sage bambino plus & a Sage bean grinder & they're the best things we've bought! Dh loves coffee & that machine is used a minimum of 5 / 6 times every single day.

We also have a Sage kettle (fab) & a Sage waffle maker. They're all really well made, heavy quality. Not flimsy.

I love how the bambino, grinder & kettle look side by side on the counter. The waffle maker lives in the utility room

I don't like the look of the Ninja coffee machine

You are all being unreasonable!
Buy a saga barista express impress. Learn how to pull a shot in a barista machine in one of those, once you get it dialled in, it is consistent as the machine controls the tamp pressure.

Best coffee I have ever had, even better than what I have drank in Italy or Spain.
Get your beans from Rave - they’re amazing. Have a go at roasting your own, even - it’s easy!

You’ll get decent coffee from a bean to cup, but it’ll never be perfect like it will from a barista machine

We only have about 3 inch down the left, it’s still pretty much in the corner.

Our Bean to Cup gave up last month and DH replaced it with the Ninja, he had been eyeing it up for a while but didn’t justify it until his broke. He absolutely loves it, wishes he had done it earlier (and I’m pleased it now matches all the other Ninja’s in the kitchen I love)

Ah Australia is PROPER serious about coffee! Do you mind if I ask who your local roaster is? I’m always up for trying new ones. Ive only ever found one truly local roaster to me and I wasn’t that impressed, but there’s quite a few that are within 20-30 miles of me.
iron & fire do one that’s kept in whisky infused barrels, it’s glorious.

I'm also a Ninjaholic! I saw an ad for the coffee machine yesterday and thought 😍 OH!

I want one.

But I don't drink hot drinks, despise coffee - but still want one...

@dizzyupthegirl86 , a local roasters beans

They are very good - the beans and the guys who own it, :) They helped me with the grinder, getting the correct weight and size of grind. I could go to one of their master classes with my own equipment but they are never at a convenient time for me so I make do

Dont get me wrong, the coffee is 90% of the time really good, sometimes its pure perfection and I really enjoy finishing work and sitting with a coffee for an hour ( I make into a travel mug for it to stay hot ) before I make a start on the rest of the day , its my reward for getting up at 5am and having my days work done whilst most are just having their 10 0'clock tea break :)

My son is a Barista in Australia. There is not a thing he doesn't know about coffee. Travels the coffee growing countries buying beans, travels the world doing demos and competitions - a real coffee snob , where as I just want a good coffee to my taste, which is rich , dark and chocolatey with a thick froth that sits on top for the coffee to come through as its being drunk , and I end up at times with a flat white :)

What beans do you use? My sister had that issue and it turned out she was using supermarket beans, which I think sort of defeats the point of a decent coffee machine! I find as long as I’m using a blend, I can get a decent result even if it needs slight adjustment as the beans age. Single origins can be tricky though. I’m sorely sorely tempted by the oracle jet 😭

Ive a wee sage bambino and whilst it does a good job, its never consistent

I buy the same beans every month and have them dialled in, hit for a double and sometimes get just a teaspoon of coffee, other times I have to override the machine as its pouring and pouring and I end up with weak pish. Sometimes I get spot on milk, over times it can just explode everywhere

So I dont always make a cappuccino - more like a frothy coffee :)

The Ninja looks like its going to take away all guesswork as it learns as it goes

@suki1964 full disclosure, I’ve got a sage machine myself! The ninja did tempt me briefly though, although when I see people compare the two, sage seems to be more favoured. I actually don’t think the ninja looks nice aesthetically, it’s a bit bulky and blocky, but it’s got lots of bells and whistles that I liked!

This is quite literally one of the funniest threads ever. OP actually asked to be talked out of it, and nearly everyone is saying “buy it.”

As a Ninja addict myself, I am very tempted after reading this thread… 😂

See this is what's making me waver, that and the funnel is plastic

At the moment I have my sage in the corner under the only top cupboards I have with the grinder beside it and the Ninja has a big foot print.

Im eyeing up the sideboard , it has the fruit bowls on it and is a bit of a dumping ground and there's a plug point beside it..............

Ninja/Shark addict here as well. Shark vacuum, hairdryer , steam mop, Ninja 15 in 1 and AF 400

Hair dryer is the dogs dangly bits

What a ridiculous statement

Interest Free credit is the way to go. I just bought a big item purchase, I had the full cost sitting there to pay for it, and when I went into pay for it a 0% card was suggested, so I applied, got it, paid for the item and cut the card in half

I always use interest free of its available , having saved the purchase price so. I dont allow debt to build JIC

I have a sage one that cost about £500 5 years ago and it’s bloody wonderful. I use it every day. Definitely worth the money!

Buy it…..! 😈

Never buy stuff on credit. Even if it’s interest free. You can never be sure what your financial situation will be like in 6 months time.

My son had a coffee pod machine and the pods were expensive. He was paying about £50 per month for them . Last year a bought him a bean to cup machine for Christmas and his coffee beans cost about £10 per month. It has paid for itself already x

If it helps, you can’t put it in a corner because all the gadgets with it you have to use fit in little compartments either side, so you’ve gotta have space either side of it.

(can you tell this is what put me off?)

Reviews are poor ...
