The price of Ninja's sell-out Luxe Café just dropped by £100

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.

Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine - Black

This isn't the brand new colour available – that's grey – but this is the best price on the Ninja Luxe Café I've ever seen anywhere if you like black.

Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine - Grey

Ninja's brand new Gun Metal Grey colour will be a winner as part of a neutral kitchen colour scheme.

Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine - Navy

Navy is another of Ninja's new Luxe Café colours.

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.

Prestige DualBrew System

Featuring a filter coffee maker and pod machine in one unit, as well as a fold-away milk frother, there's plenty going on with this new release from Ninja, which is also a lot cheaper than the Luxe Café.

Breville

Slimline Espresso Machine

If you want to save money and space rather than picking up the Luxe Café, this slimline espresso machine from Breville has rave reviews and a huge discount applied this Prime Day.

De'Longhi

Magnifica Evo

If it's a bean-to-cup machine specifically you're after, this is the second best deal I've seen this Prime Day. I really liked this machine when I reviewed the Plus version of it, but the Eco version is even cheaper.

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?
