Ninja Luxe Café Pro or Sage Barista Express Impress?

What actually differs between the Ninja Luxe Café Pro and the Sage Barista Express Impress, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The Luxe Café Pro is €24.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a portafilter machine, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk: the Luxe Café Pro does it with a steam wand that froths on its own; the Barista Express Impress with a steam wand you control yourself.

  • Cleaning the Barista Express Impress's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
