SharkNinja took centre stage at IFA 2024 with the launch of 20 new products, but it was its first-ever coffee machine, the Ninja Luxe Café, that truly stole the show. Demand skyrocketed, and the preorder waitlist closed within minutes as coffee enthusiasts eagerly anticipated whether it would uphold SharkNinja’s stellar reputation. Time for us to find out.

From the moment you unbox the Luxe Café, it’s clear SharkNinja has put thought into the user experience. The well-organised starter kit includes a portafilter, tamper, frothing jug and a guide with QR codes for instructional videos. While the setup can be a bit fiddly, the guide ensures the process is manageable, and we had everything up and running in an hour. The kit also includes cleaning tablets and water test strips to calibrate the machine for water hardness - a thoughtful addition for those in hard water areas.
