To buy an expensive ninja coffee machine

85 replies

Ninja have got £50 off their bean to cup coffee machine.
My name is Caramac and I am a ninjaholic.
I don’t NEED another coffee machine although my current one will be replaced by a bean to cup at some point. It’s quite new so can’t justify replacing it on age.
I can afford it although there are other things which the money would be better spent on.
There is a 12 month interest free option to spread the cost which I would probably use.
My very patient DH would not be happy.
I know IABU to buy it. Please reinforce that to me.
I am going to walk the dog now and put it out of my mind.

Dam this thread !!!

Ive been tempted but have been telling myself there is nothing wrong with my Sage because its just me that drinks coffee in the house and its a considered purchase

Now Im back looking .........

Just a quick addition that the Ninja soupmaker is the best I've ever owned so I'm not entirely an impulse buyer.

I've just purchased one from Harvey Norman at £449, Ninja also offer 10% off on your first purchase.Never even considered it until I read your post so that really is impulsive.
I use plant milk so I'm really interested to see how it works.
If you don't purchase one yourself you can always live vicariously through me😄
No more expensive suggestions please.

Do it. Says the women who just got the slushie machine and has a second on order 😅

What other things would the money be better spent on?
Gut feel is that you are thinking of using credit to spread the cost of something which is clearly a luxury item, then it is probably a bad idea. Sorry.

I would get the ninja slushie frozen drink machine as summer is coming tbh

Do it!

Get one if you want but honestly we're super happy with our cafetieres. We've got 3 sizes, stainless steel ones with the smallest for one mug and the largest for 8, and we buy decent ground coffee or grind beans if we feel like it (a batch at a time in a spice grinder, takes 5 mins to fill a jar). It's every bit as good, saves space and saves all those coffee pods.

I’m going to be no help as I’ve got one! I love it. The coffee tastes amazing. I use plant milk and its froths brilliantly. I did look at Sage machines first, but the ninja was cheaper and I don’t regret getting it.

Do you have the money? YES you answered this

Would you use it regularly? YES (assumption from your post)

Would it be better than your current machine? PASS, I hate coffee no idea

Would it make you happy? PASS, I assume so but you need to answer

Would you rather use the money on something else? PASS you said there are other things but the fact your asking suggests you would rather spend on this

If the answers are all yes then go for it! If there are any no's then there is your answer!
