SharkNinja has launched its Black Friday sale early, cutting the price of the Ninja AutoBarista Automatic Espresso Machine bundle to £659.99, a saving of £239.99 from its usual £899.98 price. The sale arrives weeks before the official Black Friday date of November 27.
Ninja AutoBarista Bundle Discount
The bundle includes the automatic espresso machine and two Sip Perfect Travel Mugs. At the reduced price, the saving equates to roughly 164 cafe-bought coffees, based on an average coffee cost of £4, meaning daily takeaway drinkers could recoup the cost within six months.
The machine can make espresso, filter coffee and cold brew, and prepares hot or cold drinks across 10 drink programs, four milk froth presets and a 250g bean hopper. One-touch options include Americano, cappuccino, cold brew, cold-pressed, filter coffee, espresso, flat white, hot water, latte and drinks over ice. Its AutoBarista technology automatically sets grind, brew and froth settings for each drink.
Shoppers can create personalised profiles for their favourite drinks. The machine has dishwasher-safe removable parts, a self-purging steam wand and an auto-rinse cycle. The included 300 ml Ninja Sip Perfect Travel Mug is described by the brand as cooling hot drinks down to pleasantly sippable temperatures in minutes. The machine alone is priced at £649.99, down from £849.99.

One five-star review of the AutoBarista machine reads: "I absolutely love my Ninja AutoBarista Automatic Espresso Machine. This is my first time using an automatic coffee machine, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. The coffee tastes amazing; it’s so enjoyable to make, and we’ve been really impressed with the quality and performance."
Another shopper wrote: "It does everything a barista does in one machine and it cleans itself! Brilliant appliance that will pay for itself in the long run with the time saved." A third added: "Perfect espresso with the push of a button! Just call me a barista; this beauty made me the perfect coffee!" One reviewer deducted a star, noting the small tray that holds mugs near the coffee spouts scratches easily if mug bases have a rougher surface.
