Introduction

This video compares two espresso machines for beginners: the Sage Barista Express Impress and the Ninja Luxe Café essential. The focus is on ease of use and how quickly a user can make a good espresso without extensive barista training or experimentation. The video reviews their similarities, differences, espresso and milk frothing capabilities, and concludes with a winner.

Key Takeaways

• Both machines are designed for beginners, use professional features, and have good build quality for their price range.
• The Ninja Luxe Café offers greater automation with an integrated scale, intelligent grind size adjustment ("Barista Assist"), and automated milk frothing.
• The Sage Barista Express Impress requires more manual adjustments for grind size and milk frothing but includes automatic tamping.
• The Ninja's automated features, while innovative, require 2-3 uses to perfect. Initial espresso was slightly burnt and bitter, but improved after temperature adjustment.
• Though the Ninja's filter coffee feature exists, it produces inferior coffee compared to inexpensive filter machines. The Ninja is declared the overall winner due to its automation and lower price.
