SharkNinja has launched its Black Friday sale, and the Ninja AutoBarista Automatic Espresso Machine is a standout deal, dropping from £899.98 to £659. The machine can make more than 14 different types of drinks, including cappuccino, americano, espresso, filter coffee, and flat white, plus four froth presets.
Features and Technology
The AutoBarista uses AutoBarista Technology to automatically grind, brew, and froth drinks without needing to fine-tune settings. Its large bean hopper capacity means users can enjoy morning drinks without constantly refilling beans. Customers can also pay £10 more to get two travel cups in various colours.
For those seeking alternatives, the Bosch Tassimo Coffee Machine is available on Amazon, reduced from £39.99 to £29.99, requiring minimal input with a single button press and compatibility with over 50 drink pods. The De'Longhi Stilosa coffee machine is also discounted on Amazon, from £126.99 to £89.99, featuring a 15-bar pump espresso maker for cappuccinos and lattes.
Shopper Reviews
Shoppers who purchased the Ninja AutoBarista have praised it highly. One wrote: "This product is just perfect. Is a good size. Not too big but not too small. The water tank takes up to 1.2l. I like that there is a variety of coffee you can make with it but also the frothing and hot water features makes it more appealing. Is so easy to use and set up. The coffee comes out perfect."
Another added: "Ive been looking at this coffee machine since its been launched, and can honestly say its the BEST, I love how easy it is to use, just a press of the button, and you've got a perfect coffee every time. Im so glad i wait for the Green one to come back in stock, as its so lush."
Mixed Feedback
However, not all reviews were positive. One customer wrote: "I was sent this and was initially thrilled. Despite loving freshly ground and brewed coffee, I’m not sure it was made for me. Firstly, it is MASSIVE. I was expecting something large side-to-side but it’s far too big front-to-back and top-to-bottom. Also, it goes through beans like nothing I’ve known; I had to use about a bag a day for three or four cups. The coffee was okay, but was it worth £850? Not for me."
Another added: "Looks like a great machine but on the demo, the espresso spilled over. In the mornings, when I have my coffee, I have a whole routine where I step away and don’t want the faff of mopping up afterwards. Also, it’s £1,000, which is quite an investment."
