I’ve made about a dozen different kinds of coffee drinks with the Ninja AutoBarista, and I have absolutely no idea what sort of grind size, tamping pressure, water temperature, or extraction timing is necessary to pull espresso shots for any of those drinks. The AutoBarista takes care of these considerations for you, making it possible to brew 13 different drinks with just the press of a button.
The AutoBarista seeks to create the experience of having a coffee shop inside of your home, but without having to master the complicated, time-consuming nuances of making perfect espresso. It makes drip coffee and espresso-and-milk drinks, like cappuccinos or flat white. The fully automatic espresso machine can even make a pretty fast cold brew or cold-pressed espresso (just add ice, or else it’s more like lukewarm brew).
