Ninja has upgraded its excellent Ninja Luxe Caf Pro Espresso Machine by getting renowned designer and potter Jonathan Adler to give it a makeover,
and the results are, um, well... look at the picture and see for yourself. (Image credit: SharkNinja) The Ninja Luxe Caf Pro Espresso Machine by
Jonathan Adler is "the most glamorous espresso machine I've ever seen," Adler says. It's certainly very different from the usual look of even the most expensive and best coffee makers . And you've got to admire Ninja's bravery, because this is likely to be the Marmite of luxe coffee makers. For everyone that sees it and falls in love with its loudness there will be others like me who run away screaming. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here: I'm ribbing Ninja here, but I'm doing it affectionately: my kitchen contains multiple Ninja appliances, and while I happen to like their black and chrome looks I'm very much in favor of more interesting color and design choices it's why the same kitchen also includes a brightly colored Smeg kettle, toaster and juicer. And this coffee maker is part of a new design direction for the brand, which means some really great-looking products such as the new Ninja MultiPot XL , which I think looks great in its multiple colors, and the gold detailing of the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro Limited Edition by David Beckham, which launched in early 2026.

The loudness of the new version is entirely deliberate, I think: it's a halo product that'll raise awareness of Ninja's new design direction, even if that awareness comes via gently mocking articles like this one. It's not for me, but I think plenty of folks will love it.

The differences between the Jonathan Adler version and the standard Pro are cosmetic: natural wood accents, Adler's geometric Versailles pattern on the panel and brass accents instead of the usual chrome.

Inevitably, that adds to the sticker price. The Luxe Caf launched in the US with a recommended price of $499.99 (about 400 / AU$750). The Pro by Jonathan Adler version is almost twice the price at $899.99.

That's a significant premium over the non-designer Pro, which is currently retailing at $749 / 729, but it's the same price as the limited edition David Beckham model that's still on sale. We don't have international pricing for the Jonathan Adler version yet, but if Ninja prices it like the Beckham one you can expect a UK price tag of around 879 and an Australian one of AU$999.

We'll leave the last word to Adler. "I believe glamour belongs everywhere,"
he says. "Including your kitchen countertops." Follow TechRadar on Google
