A stylish and understated new colourway of Ninja's sell-out Luxe Café bean-to-cup machine just dropped

If stainless steel isn't for you, this elevated grey might be

Ninja's ever-popular espresso machine is available in a brand new colour, Gun Metal Grey. Available as an Amazon exclusive for the time being for £532.35, this new version is great for those looking for a more understated colour as opposed to stainless steel. Or, if you're looking for the Luxe Café on sale, you can pick it up for the bargain price of £449.00 in Black.

I awarded this machine an easy five stars in my Ninja Luxe Café review, as well as crowning it the best coffee machine for most people thanks to its user friendly features and value for money (considering the much higher price of rivals like the Sage Barista Express Impress). One of my only gripes was with the stainless steel finish, which is a magnet for fingerprint marks. If you'd like to avoid that conundrum, this new understated colour might just be the one for you.

Ninja has already released a host of other colours for the Luxe Café this year, including Navy and Black, but this looks like the first Amazon exclusive of the year for this product though I'm sure there will be more to come on Black Friday.

One of the things I wish I knew before I got my hands on this machine was just how easy it is to use – if you do decide to spend the cash, you'll be making barista-worthy brews in no time. Or if the Luxe Café is still too pricey for you, I've included some cosy at-home café alternatives below.

You don't have to take just my word for it either – this machine has an impressive 4.4 out of five star rating from 224 reviews at present on Amazon itself. Have you been mulling over buying the Luxe Café?
