The Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus does the one thing I know most new home baristas struggle with: dialing in. Ever wondered why nothing is coming out of your espresso machine, or it’s coming out like water from a newly unblocked pipe? It’s because you haven’t dialed your coffee in yet.

But Ninja said ‘No more!’ No longer do you have to waste precious coffee on figuring out optimal grind size’ The Luxe Cafe Mini Plus has auto-grind-size calibration that tells you the precise “click” you should grind your beans at. This is genuinely so helpful for newbies.

So, is this enough to make the Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus one of the best espresso machines? For beginners, totally. Say goodbye to coffee-related headaches (unless you’re slamming double espresso after double espresso, but that’s a completely different type of headache). Want to find out more? Why wouldn’t you? Keep reading this Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review.

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Specs

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Price & availability

The Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus is $499 from SharkNinja U.S. and £499 from Amazon U.K.. Although this looks like an objectively large amount of money, I can assure you this is actually reasonable for an espresso machine with a built-in grinder.

Ninja also makes the Luxe Cafe Mini ($459). The Mini doesn’t have automatic milk frothing. On the Luxe Cafe lineup is the Luxe Cafe Pro ($749), Luxe Cafe Premier ($599), and then you’ve got the eye-watering AutoBarista Pro ($949).

The cheapest setup I’d recommend is the Casabrews 3700 Essential ($129) and the Timemore C2s Chestnut ($60), which works out to $189. However, this is a hand grinder, so it might not be best for those who have no desire to spend ten minutes turning a crank (me included — I make my boyfriend grind my beans).

When you get into bean-to-cups, the price increases dramatically. You’ve got the Casabrews Marenza ($349), the cheapest bean-to-cup I’ve ever reviewed, but there’s a catch — the grinder hopper smashed after the second use, so I wouldn’t recommend it for longevity.

You’ve also got the Breville Barista Express ($699), one of the most iconic bean-to-cups ever made, and the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte Evo ($699), the best-value bean-to-cup I’ve reviewed. The Luxe Cafe Mini Plus undercuts both by some margin.

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Design

Just like the Ninja AutoBarista Pro I reviewed last month, the Luxe Cafe Mini is effectively a big plastic square. The machine gets the job done, but I don’t think it’s as pretty as the Breville Barista Express, De’Longhi Arte Evo, Lelit Mara X3, or the Fellow Espresso Series 1.

Of course, though, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you may totally disagree. That’s fine! Ninja knows what works, obviously; it wouldn’t keep releasing espresso machines with the same functional aesthetic otherwise. It must work.

What separates the Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus from the Luxe Cafe Pro or AutoBarista Pro is pretty obvious — its size. The Luxe Cafe Mini is 3 inches narrower, half an inch slimmer, and 1 inch lower than the Luxe Cafe Pro. I’d recommend it for small spaces any day.

There’s an LCD screen on the front of the machine: you can see your grind size and coffee settings here. It’s easy to change said settings: just twist the knob and press the buttons. They’re all labeled, and it’s practically impossible to go wrong here.

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Espresso

As this is a bean-to-cup, I’ll discuss grinder and espresso here. I’ll go through milk performance later. The grinder operates at 71 dB, which is around the same volume as a running shower or a flushing toilet. As it only grinds for a few seconds, I’d say this is pretty quiet, all things considered.

Grinder

Unfortunately, you can’t set the grinder to whatever step you please. As the machine recommends you a grind setting, you can’t just go rogue and do what you want. As a result, I was only able to do a portion of my “normal” grinder testing. Obviously, if you’re making “drip”, the machine will suggest a much coarser grind size.

You get a dosing collar that slots into the grinder mechanism to prevent mess, too.

Normally, I would go through every fineness: Turkish all the way to cold brew. Here, though, I was only able to test the espresso-fine 12-step.

Here’s my standard uniformity testing. I’m looking for big jumps here: I want 0% to 90%. This proves the grinder is uniform, as all the grounds are the same size.

I would have liked to do more testing — but as I said, the machine only lets you grind on its recommended size!

As you can see, the grinder isn’t overly uniform. However, dialing in is super easy, as the machine does everything for you. No weighing or dosing or adjusting the grind. The machine takes care of all that headache.

Espresso

The Ninja’s espresso tastes fine. It’s not delicious, but it’s not disgusting, either. If you’re the kind of person who puts syrups or flavoring in your coffee, you probably won’t notice the taste flavor at all — but isn’t that kind of the point? The espresso tastes like coffee. Not massively nuanced or bright coffee, but coffee. It tastes like Starbucks.

As you can see, the shot is a nice caramel color with a layer of crema. The crema isn’t as creamy as I’d like, but it still tasted good. There was no nuance or complexity to the shot: it tasted like chain coffee. However, this is still good enough for most people — and without the dialing-in headache. It brewed 34g of coffee in 26 seconds.

I will note that the portafilter is tiny — just 53 mm. This means you likely won’t be able to get much aftermarket stuff in terms of accessories, but, again, I’m not sure that’s who this machine is aimed at. You do, however, get a dosing collar and a spring-loaded tamper as standard.

As I mentioned earlier, while the grinder isn’t “technically” perfect in the same way you’d expect from a standalone grinder, it’s fine for casual coffee drinkers who prioritize ease of use over coffee snobbery.

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Milk

The Luxe Cafe Mini has two milk steaming modes: automatic and manual. You can choose from three levels of foam: low, medium, and high. Weirdly, the “medium” foam level is more like a cappuccino. It took 1 minute 49 seconds to heat a jug of milk to drinking temperature, which is longer than the Breville Bambino Plus’s auto milk frothing time.

Manual milk steaming works the same as any other espresso machine. I was surprised to see the Luxe Cafe Mini Plus has a super strong steam wand — much stronger than Casabrews alternatives I’ve tested. It’s around the same strength as a De’Longhi Arte Evo.

Here’s a photo of automatically frothed milk.

As you can see, the texture is okay. It’s not perfect, but it’s soft enough to achieve some latte art. There was a disconnect between the milk and froth, which resulted in a dodgy pour. I’d recommend serious home baristas foam their own milk, but newbies might find this super helpful.

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Storage & maintenance

As the Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus is, well, mini, it’s a better option for smaller spaces. Although it’s not as small as a standalone espresso machine, it’s smaller than alternative bean-to-cups. Let’s get our comparison caps on! N.B.: the last model, Breville Bambino, is a standalone espresso machine. This is just for a baseline comparison as the Bambino is the small machine of choice for many. I’m aware they serve slightly different audiences.

As you can see, the Luxe Cafe Mini is considerably lighter than the other bean-to-cups. It’s also shorter and slimmer than all the others, but the De’Longhi Arte Evo is narrower.

I have no qualms about recommending the Luxe Cafe Mini to those who need a smaller espresso machine but don’t want to sacrifice a built-in grinder.

In terms of longevity, Ninja offers a 2-year warranty, which is the same as Breville and De’Longhi, so pretty standard. As the machine doesn’t come with cleaning products, you’d need to get backflush tablets and descaler yourself. These are $34 for a 4-month supply directly from Ninja. It does come with a water filter, though, which is nice!

Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus review: Verdict

The Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus is a fantastic first espresso machine. I won’t impress coffee snobs, but it will hit the spot if you value ease of use, simplicity, and consistency. The automatic dial-in process is perhaps the best thing for newbies. No stressing over why no coffee came out or why your coffee tastes like sour bean water. You do get a decent shot of espresso every time.

No, there’s no nuance of complexity in the shot. I use the same beans for all my testing, and they tasted like Starbucks rather than the snobby shop down the road. But is that a bad thing? Starbucks is popular for a reason. People love coffee that tastes like coffee. I personally wouldn’t get this machine, but I’m a coffee snob. Take what I say with a pinch of salt.

If you’re reading this and nodding along, you’re definitely the target audience for the Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus. It helps you make consistent espresso and milk. Coffee lovers looking for a one-ticket route to consistently great coffee? Ninja Luxe Cafe Mini Plus.

I have a strong feeling that how we use microwaves is about to change forever — and when I mention the name Ninja, you probably won’t be surprised.

The brand, known for dominating our countertops with some of the best air fryers, blenders and coffee machines, has never entered the microwave market, that is, until now.

Today, Ninja is once again shaking up modern cooking with the U.S. launch of the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer, available for $449 at SharkNinja. It’s the anchor product behind the brand’s new summer product lineup, which also introduces the Ninja Crispi DualZone and Ninja Multipot.

Putting an end to "soggy" microwave meals

It’s a significant leap for Ninja and one that I’ll be closely watching to see how it impacts the microwave market, including whether other kitchen appliance brands follow suit.

To put my interest into context, I’m a child of the ‘70s. I vividly remember my family’s awe when we got our first microwave. While my mom tried to cook everything in this ‘miracle’ oven, including roast chicken and meringue. I can clearly recall the artificial browning she used to color the pale chicken and the black carbon bottoms of her failed meringues.

Unsurprisingly, I’m far more conservative with my microwave adventures, and like most of us, I use it for simple tasks, such as defrosting, softening butter and warming up food.

But according to Ninja, those days are over, and the “soggy microwave problem we’ve accepted for years has officially been solved,” without sacrificing speed or texture.

The tech behind the appliance

The secret behind Ninja’s appliance is FusionCrisp Technology — combining microwave speed with superheated, cyclonic air at temperatures up to 450°F.

So how exactly does this work? The Ninji Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer starts by microwaving the food from the inside, then switches to air frying to produce a crisp texture, resulting in a cooking time 50% faster than a conventional oven.

Apart from giving crisp results, it offers 14-in-1 functionality. The 8 microwave presets include popcorn, potato, defrost, beverage, soup, frozen dinner, frozen vegetable, and soften butter. There are a further 5 air fry presets, including max crisp, crisp, air roast, air bake and air broil, each with FusionCrisp Technology.

Ninja ditches the traditional turntable

Instead of the traditional rotating turntable, Ninja opted for a flatbed design, which it claims offers 40% more space than a standard turntable microwave. That’s plenty of capacity to hold the 5.5-quart glass basket that comes with the appliances, which is capable of holding an 8lb chicken, four pizza slices or a 9 x 11-inch casserole dish, feeding up to 8-10 people.

Although the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer is now available in the U.S., U.K. readers will have to wait until mid-August for it to land.

I’m looking forward to testing and reviewing the Ninja Crispi Microwave and Air Fryer and will report back as soon as I get my hands on it.

In the meantime, I’ll have to rely on those of you in the U.S. to see how this exciting new product performs and whether you think it will shake up the microwave market. If you've tried one, leave a comment below with your thoughts.

It's been several years since I lived in a dorm — but if I were shopping for back to school season today, I'd be super excited about the latest appliances from Ninja and Shark. From portable smoothie makers and misting fans to cordless vacuums and multifunctional hair tools, these space-saving essentials make dorm life simpler.

If you're gearing up for the new semester, I recommend grabbing some Shark and Ninja appliances — especially right now since Amazon is knocking up to 40% off select models. For instance, the Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo is currently over $50 off and is perfect for keep you cool while hanging out, studying or sleeping in the dorm.

There's plenty more convenient devices for back to school season below — and they start at just $79. Keep scrolling to check out all my favorite Shark and Ninja appliance deals on Amazon.

Ninja/Shark Deals

As a kitchen and home appliance reviewer, there's no denying the infatuation I have with Ninja Kitchen. I have loved every product I've tried from the brand, from fun, novelty gadgets to actually practical, borderline normal gizmos. Late last year, Ninja's glass air fryer, the Ninja Crispi, launched in Australia, and I immediately got my hands on it.

After using mine for the past six months, I can honestly say that I swear by the Ninja Crispi every night for easy and deliciously crunchy dinners. And right now, my favourite air fryer is discounted by 37% on Amazon to just AU$188.

What really takes the cake with this discount is that it's the lowest price I've ever seen for the Crispi, undercutting the AU$196 rate on Christmas Day 2025. Better yet, this discount is for all three colourways: Cyberspace, Sage and Stone.

But the Ninja Prime Day discounts don't stop there, as the latest evolution, the Ninja Crispi Pro, is also discounted by 32% to just AU$341.05. The new air fryer only debuted last month in Australia, and this is the first discount I've clocked for the device.

Do note that these discounts are exclusive to Amazon Prime members – and you'll likely need to act fast, as the Prime Day sale ends on Monday, July 13.

In our Ninja Crispi review, we gave it a massive 4.5 stars, as it was super quiet and delivered surprisingly crispy results. Our reviewer was pleasantly surprised by the device, and found the gadget "reinvented the traditional air fryers" they've used in the past. As for the Crispi Pro, we gave it 4-stars, as we found it was a bit pricey to justify at full cost. However, this tidy 32% discount nips that in the bud.

While I haven't used the Crispi Pro as much as I'd like, I've really appreciated the simplicity and convenience that come with the Crispi. It's become an integral part of my daily routine — from frying up chicken tenders to roasting salmon perfectly, I've enjoyed every meal and side I've made with my Ninja Crispi. But something I've appreciated even more than the tasty results is the fact that I can pop a lid on my leftovers and chuck them in the fridge almost immediately.

Both of these sentiments easily extend to the Pro, as in my short time of having the device, I've thoroughly enjoyed making larger portions of my favourite dishes and using the Pro to help with meal prepping for the week ahead.

The key differences between the air frying pair are that the Crispi Pro comes with three borosilicate containers instead of two, and uses a sliding mechanism to slot into the base, rather than using the Crispi base as a lid. Further, the Pro offers more control over temperature settings, whereas the Crispi has four preset modes to choose from. The timer on both the Crispi and Crispi Pro can be adjusted in minute increments, and you can also add or reduce your cooking time.

But no matter what model you choose, let the Ninja Crispi be the airfryer for you.

Back to school season means checking off a long list of essentials — and if you're moving into a dorm, small appliances deserve a spot at the top. Whether you need a fan to beat the heat or a coffee maker for early classes Amazon has plenty of dorm room deals to help you kickstart the school year (without overspending).

Top brands like Keurig, Dreo, Ninja and Shark are discounting best-selling small appliances that will make dorm-life simpler. And the best part is, I've rounded up my top picks — and they're all under $100. Keep scrolling to check out all the back to school appliances that are sure to come in handy this upcoming semester.

A year after I first tested the Ninja FrostVault, I'm still sure it's the best cooler you can get your hands on. It keeps the ice frozen for five whole days at the height of summer, so it's safe to say I can rely on it.

This summer is expected to be one of the hottest on record for parts of the U.S. and the rest of the world. Whether it's for garden parties or to take with you on the road, the NinjaFrostVault is the only cooler I trust with my fresh food and beverages on some of the hottest days. Let's recap the reasons why you shouldn't give this box the cold shoulder this summer.

Keeping ice cool

The most impressive thing about the Ninja FrostVault is how long it can keep ice frozen. After five days, there was still solid ice in the cooler, and all of the cans I'd put in there were super cold.

Having a cooler with such incredible insulation is essential, especially during the crazy heatwaves we're seeing worldwide right now. Having cool beverages to drink on hot days makes all the difference.

I would be very comfortable relying on this cooler for a short camping trip, but I would advise adding in a digital thermometer to ensure food-safe temperatures.

Tough build

If, like me, you find yourself on campsites with uneven ground or heading down to the beach, you're going to need something easier to maneuver. And since this cooler comes in 45QT or 65QT, you're not going to be carrying it.

Luckily, the Ninja FrostVault has some heavy-duty wheels and a tow arm to get you where you need to go. I tried this out on a bunch of different terrain, and I could pull it around with ease. And trust me, if I can move it, anyone can.

Convenient compartments

You load the main compartment with ice to ensure everything stays cool, but there's also a sneaky drawer at the bottom. This uses the cooling effect of the top compartment but eliminates the moisture created when the ice melts.

Anything kept in this drawer won't get soggy but will stay ice cold. This makes it perfect for things like meat, fruit or cheese.

Do yourself a favor this summer and forget about refilling the ice bucket. Check out the Ninja FrostVault.

Prime Day may be over, but it seems like the savings on Ninja appliances are still going strong. With 4th of July sales happening now, it's the perfect time to take advantage of discounts — especially if you're hosting a backyard barbecue or holiday celebration.

If you're getting ready to fire up a new grill, the Ninja FlexFlame Propane Grill is down to $999. Need a new cooler to keep those beers and sodas ice cold? The Ninja FrostVault 30QT is sporting a $50 discount. And if you're looking for an all-in-one blender to assist you in prepping dips, drinks, desserts and more, the Ninja Kitchen System is now 41% off.

Ninja has everything you need to cook (and host) like a pro this 4th of July — and the devices start at just $69. Keep scrolling to check out these summer deals.

While you're shopping for Prime Day deals, you might've noticed that the Ninja Slushi isn't discounted as part of Amazon's annual summer sale. That said, I was checking out SharkNinja's website and was hyped to see the machine that earned me over 1 million views online listed for $100 off right now.

The Ninja Slushi is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets for entertaining, turning everything from cocktails and coffee drinks to frozen sodas into smooth slushies without needing ice. Right now, Ninja has discounted the entry-level model by $100, bringing it down to just $199.

The Ninja Slushi has become the centerpiece of almost every gathering I host. The cranberry vodka mule slushie I made for Friendsgiving that ended up being such a hit, people were asking for refills before they finished their first drink.

More recently, I hosted a cafe-themed birthday party and served vanilla iced coffee slushies that disappeared almost as quickly as I could pour them.

I've made everything from eggnog slushies during the holidays to cherry Coke creations inspired by classic convenience store Slurpees. At this point, it's less of a kitchen appliance and more of an excuse to invite people over.

What makes the Slushi so easy to use is that Ninja does most of the work for you. The machine features dedicated presets depending on what you're making, whether that's a frozen cocktail, coffee drink, milkshake or soda-based slushie. You can also customize the texture, dialing in exactly how icy or smooth you want the final result.

The freezing process depends on factors like sugar content and how much liquid you're adding, but I've personally seen Ninja's RapidChill technology transform drinks into slushies in as little as 20 minutes.

Once it's ready, the machine can keep your drink at the ideal consistency for hours. That's especially useful when hosting, since guests inevitably want another round. (One of my favorite tricks is batching extra drinks in pitchers ahead of time and storing them in the fridge.)

If I have one complaint, it's that cleaning takes a little effort. Thankfully, the machine comes apart intuitively, and after a few uses the process becomes second nature. For me, it's a small tradeoff for a gadget that consistently steals the spotlight whenever friends come over.

If you've been curious about the Ninja Slushi but couldn't justify the original $299 price tag, this $199 deal is the lowest entry point I've seen for a machine that's genuinely changed how I host. And judging by how often guests ask for "whatever slushie you're making tonight," I'd say it's money well spent.

We review a lot of coffee makers and espresso machines at Tom's Guide, so it takes a lot to really win us over, but Ninja did just that with the Ninja Luxe Café Pro. When we reviewed it last year, we praised features like its tamping arm, multiple presets, and massive jug for making two lattes at once.

At $749, it was priced as a premium product, along with your DeLonghis and Brevilles. However, for Prime Day, the Luxe Café Pro's price has dropped to $599 at Amazon, making this all the more attractive.

In our Ninja Luxe Café Pro review, Millie Fender, our tester, loved the hot water dispenser, something that was sorely lacking in the original Luxe Café Pro, and will be welcome for those who love making Americanos.

She was also impressed with the grinder — not only does it use a weight-based system that was "shockingly accurate," but the machine can also recognize when you change filter baskets, and it also purges some grounds when you change the grind size, to ensure things remain consistent.

The machine was also great at foaming milk, and it comes with a very large steaming jug, so you can make more than one latte at a time.

The Luxe Café Pro's drip tray is removable, which lets you place larger travel mugs under the group head; it's a handy feature, but the one tradeoff is that you'll have to empty the drop tray more often.

I'll let Millie sum things up:

"As a seasoned espresso snob, I didn't expect to enjoy this machine as much as I did," she wrote. "Ninja has put a lot of thought into every element of this machine, from the automatic purging when you change grind size to the storage space for your spare baskets. And the inclusion of a tamping arm is a smart one, allowing you to still feel like you've crafted your coffee, but with less mess and more precision."

The Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro Series is one of the best espresso machines, without a doubt. We reviewed the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro last year and loved it. But even discounted from $799 to $599, the Ninja is still pretty pricey. If you want a machine that can do pretty much all the same things for less, let me introduce you to the $399 De'Longhi Arte Evo. Both espresso machines can make delicious espresso and cold brew in minutes.

When I reviewed the De'Longhi Arte Evo, I received the pictured yellow version. The yellow version is not included in this deal as, unfortunately, it's a U.K. exclusive. Even so, the function of the machine is exactly the same — and I only have photos of the model I tested, naturally!

If you have $599 to spare and want a machine that can do it all, then you should consider the Ninja. However, if you want to spend as little money as possible, you might be better off with the De'Longhi.

Both the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro and the De'Longhi Arte Evo have their perks: they're both attractive coffee machines with powerful steam wands and a huge array of functions.

In our review of the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro, Millie wrote, "Another cool feature that I’ve never seen before is the fact that the machine automatically detects when you change filter baskets. I’m not even sure how it does that, but it never failed in the pretty frequent switches I was making between the luxe basket and the double filter."

I've tested 49 coffee makers and I've never seen this feature either. The Ninja holds your hand during the brewing process, ideal for beginner home baristas or if you simply can't be bothered to figure out grind size before your morning espresso.

If you're more of a hands-on barista, you might be more interested in the De'Longhi Arte Evo. This machine has a built-in grinder and an easy tamping system to prevent coffee grounds mess.

The Arte Evo can't make drip coffee like the Ninja, but it can make cold brew. While it's not "true" cold brew (it's not steeped over 16 hours... obviously), it tastes pretty darn good. This is a feature on all of the La Specialista series, of which the Arte Evo is the cheapest.

Of course, the Arte Evo has a powerful steam wand (you can check out my review for picture proof!) and looks a treat while doing so.

Both espresso machines are great, but if you want to save as much money as possible this Prime Day, I'd recommend the Arte Evo. It's jsut $399 right now, which is stupidly cheap for an espresso machine with a built in grinder. Grinders alone can cost $200+!

It's always the season for a sweet treat, especially with the sun threatening to boil us all alive this summer. For all my ice cream lovers out there, the Ninja Creami is a must-have. Not only has this viral ice cream maker become a cult favorite for making mouth-watering shakes, smoothies, and more, but it's also one of the most fun kitchen essentials out there. And If you've been waiting for a good deal, the Prime Day sales going on this week make now the perfect time to splurge.

Right now, the Ninja Creami is just $169 at Amazon — the lowest ever price we've seen on this ice cream maker. But you'd better act fast, because we've seen stock sell out before on Black Friday. And that was when it was $10 more. For even more savings, check out our favorite kitchen appliances on sale this Prime Day. You can score up to 50% off brands that rarely go on sale like Keurig and KitchenAid to build your dream kitchen set-up. Just be sure to invite me if ice cream's on the menu.

Why we love the Ninja Creami

The Ninja Creami tops the list of the best home ice cream makers we've ever tested, and it's easy to see why. In our 4-star Ninja Creami review, its versatility seriously impressed us, and its intuitive design made it easy to whip up everything from rich gelato and refreshing sorbet to creamy milkshakes that put McDonalds to shame.

While you'll need to freeze your base for 24 hours before churning, which can be a pain, the Creami makes the rest of the process super simple. It also includes two pint containers, so it's easy to prep multiple flavors in advance.

What’s more, if you have dietary requirements, the Creami has several settings designed to fit different needs like Keto, vegan, and even fruitarians! Where it really shines, though, is with mix-ins and powders. Protein powder, instant coffee, matcha, chai latte powder, and the like blended smoothly into our recipes without the chalky texture that often plagues other blenders and ice cream makers.

If you've been thinking about adding a Ninja Creami to your kitchen, now is a great time to take advantage of a deal and start experimenting with homemade frozen treats. For more inspo, follow these 3 tips for perfect results every time.

Ninja has got quite the hold on the air fryer world, dominating the space (and our best air fryers guide) with the Pro 4-in-1 and Foodi DualZone. When the Ninja Crispi air fryer was released in 2025, it even prompted our expert tester to say, "It made me rethink everything I knew about air fryers."

The Ninja Crispi is a glass air fryer that cooks everything from pasta to green beans and a whole lot in between. It reinvents the traditional air fryer whilst looking incredibly smart and almost futuristic for an everyday kitchen appliance. So, how can you possibly evolve the Ninja Crispi even further?

Well, Ninja has just launched the Ninja Crispi DualZone – the first glass air fryer to cook in two independent zones. You're telling me I can cook my salmon at the same time as my vegetables, and they'll both be cooked to perfection, ready to be plated at the same time? This is the feature I've been desperately hoping for!

Meet the Ninja Crispi DualZone

The Ninja Crispi DualZone isn't the brand's first evolution of the Crispi; the Crispi Pro launched earlier this year. But, it is the first time it's used its patented DualZone technology on the innovative glass air fryer.

And it's the two independent cooking zones that are the real shining star of the new Crispi. Each zone is made up of a CleanCrisp glassware container that is designed for non-toxic cooking and speedy storage, but there's more technology at play here that's worth talking about.

Smart Finish, for example, is Ninja's answer to no-stress mealtimes. With this technology, the Ninja Crispi DualZone intelligently syncs both zones to finish at the same time. Pair this up with Match Cook that mirrors what settings you've got running across your zones, and you can use it for double-batch cooking, too.

No longer will you have to cook your food back-to-back with the Crispi or bring in other kitchen appliances to make sure your meal comes together at once – and for me, that sounds like the dream. And if you're keen to cook up using different functions, there are six customizable options onboard with Air Fry, Bake, Dehydrate, Max, Crisp, Roast and Recrisp all available,

Why I can't wait to try it

I've loved the look of the Ninja Crispi since it launched, but I've already got the Ninja Foodi DualZone that allows me to cook on two sides at the same time. It's hard to compete with that until now. I finally feel like I could replace the Foodi with the Crispi, but there's more to it than that.

I've also recently moved over from plastic food storage containers to glass, and I've definitely noticed a difference when it comes to taste. If the same can be said for the Ninja Crispi DualZone, then I'm super intrigued. With no PFAS and PTFE, it also feels like a smart choice for chemical-free cuisine.

I'm really keen to grab a Ninja Crispi DualZone now that it's got the feature I've been desperately waiting for, and it doesn't hurt that it looks incredibly stylish, too. I'll reserve full judgment until we get it in for a full review. Now, I just need them to make a Ninja Crispi Pro DualZone, and I can fit food in for the whole family.

We're down to the final full week of EOFY sales, and boy, has it been a wild ride this June. With discounts across the latest tech, NBN plans, home appliances, activewear, beauty, and so much more, there's a plethora of good deals out in the ether right now.

As a kitchen appliance reviewer and hobbyist chef (in the making at least), I've found some stellar deals across kitchen must-haves this EOFY on Amazon. From coffee machines and air fryers to fun novelty accessories and heavy-duty cookware, I've gathered 12 of my top-rated kitchen deals for your perusal below.

Notably, some of these deals are products I already own and use every day — namely the Ninja Luxe Cafe coffee machine, now 41% off, and the Inkbird meat thermometer, now 25% off — but some are new products I've just added to my kitchen's arsenal to upgrade my cooking skills (or drink making, in the Teanagoo's 7-piece Matcha set's case).

Don't just take my word for it, though — all these products come with 4+ star ratings, including those of my colleagues at Tom's Guide. I'll stop with the waffling now; here are the best EOFY kitchen deals I've found on Amazon this week.

I always think it's a bit of good luck that Amazon Prime Day falls right before the 4th of July. It means I can grab all of the essentials for my backyard party at a fraction of the price. I love hosting, so being able to get the gadgets to create the best vibe on a budget is essential.

This year, I find myself with the role of making the drinks — and yes, I will be pulling out all the stops. So to make sure they taste and look as fresh as possible, I'm going to be juicing all of the mixers myself. That can only mean one thing — getting a cheap juicer so I can prepare my juices beforehand.

I've been trying out the Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer, and it's currently 20% in the pre-Amazon Prime Day sales.

Most of the best juicers on the market will cost you around $400, but not the Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer. Though it may not be the most powerful, it will only cost you $119 in the early Prime Day sales, making this an absolute steal.

This is the perfect gadget for me to get all of my vitamins and nutrients into one yummy glass. The juice is great for whipping up themed cocktails and mocktails for gatherings with family and friends. It's become my new favorite party trick.

The juicer was able to create delicious juice from everything I threw at it, including carrots, oranges, strawberries and apples. Even tough ingredients were no match for it. Since it's a cheapo machine, you miss out on features such as variable speeds and a hands-free hopper, but it does the job.

I've also found it to be a secret weapon during a heatwave. I throw the juice in the fridge, and I can have a refreshing drink on hand any time. But the real trick? Pour the juice into ice pop molds for a light and refreshing snack.

If you're anything like me, you've probably been scouring the Prime Day sales ever since you first heard about the Ninja Creami Scoop & Swirl. The idea of making your own soft-serve ice cream at home is very exciting, but the prospect of actually paying Ninja's heavy price tag is not that appealing. But what if I told you there was a cheaper option, capable of dispensing homemade soft-serve and slushies?

I'm talking about the Gourmia Soft Serve Ice Cream and Frozen Drink Maker, which is exclusively sold at Costco for $200. While it lacks some of the feature's you'll find on a Ninja Creami, it makes up for that by essentially throwing in most of the capabilities of the Ninja Slushi. All for a fraction of the price (and space) of buying both those machines yourself. (Not a member? You can sign up for a 1-year membership for $65 and get a $20 shop card for free).

That's what I did, and so far I have no regrets.

Amazon Deals

Ninja's appliances are regularly on sale, and both the Ninja Slushi and Creami Scoop & Swirl are enjoying early Prime Day discounts right now. But, even with those discounts, they're still both rather expensive machines. The Ninja Slushi will currently set you back $199 at Amazon, while the Ninja Scoop & Swirl is $279.

Not only will that cost a combined total of $478, but you'll also need to find double the counter space if you plan on using them regularly. This is a lot less of an issue when everything has been mashed together in a single appliance. And buying one online means you don't even need a Costco membership.

The main benefit that Gourmia's frozen treat machine has is that it actually has its own built-in cooler. This means that making ice cream is as simple as pouring in the mixture and letting the machine get to work. That's in contrast to the Ninja Creami, which requires you freeze everything for at least 24 hours before you can enjoy the fruits of its labor.

Naturally, this also means you can dispense your soft serve directly from the mixing area, rather than having to move your finished mix to a different part of the machine. The finished mixture will also stay frozen for around three hours after you finish, which means you don't have to consume the entire batch in one sitting.

The six one-touch presets let you make soft serve, slush, frozen cocktails, milkshakes, frappés and sorbet, depending on what takes your fancy — in as little as 30 minutes.

However, my choice from Costco lacks a bunch of the specialized programs that you'll find on a Creami — like the CreamiFit mode that can freeze protein shakes into a frozen dessert. There's also no dedicated ice cream maker, which means you're only able to make and dispense soft-serve.

You do get some extra features, though, including a built-in stand to store ice cream cones, a warming pad to melt your own previously-made sauces, and a sprinkle dispenser. Gourmia's frozen treat machine also takes up a similar amount of space to the Creami Scoop & Swirl, with a little more length but slightly less height.

There are a few downsides, though. In my brief experience with the Gourmia machine, I found that things can get a little messy due to the slight gap between the machine and the drip tray. This did cause a small puddle of water to form under my unit after I ran a cleaning cycle. The parts are all removable and dishwasher safe, if you prefer.

Anyone with a preference for sugar-free slushies also needs to be aware that they don't slush properly. They will freeze, but you don't get that slushie consistency due to the way a lot of common sugar substitutes crystallize when frozen.

Still, with the heat really ramping up this year, it helps to be able to make your own frozen treats at home — rather than overpaying to get them somewhere like a coffee shop. That's certainly what I'm going to do, now that I have the Gourmia Soft Serve Ice Cream and Frozen Drink Maker on my kitchen counter.

The Ninja AutoBarista Pro is a curious automatic espresso machine. It can make a huge variety of drinks, including espresso, drip coffee, cold brew, and both hot and cold milk. So is this enough to make it one of the best espresso machines?

Hm… not really. The Ninja AutoBarista Pro is an ambitious machine, but I think it’s got its fingers in too many pies. It can’t decide what it wants to be. Does it want to be a drip machine or an espresso machine? Or a rapid cold brew machine? (The cold brew comes out warm…)

Even so, I gave this machine 3 stars for a reason — it’s unbelievably easy to use, perfect for the home barista who wants to click a button and get fresh coffee instantly, and is relatively cheaper than other automatic machines. Want to find out more? Keep reading this Ninja AutoBarista Pro review.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Specs

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Price & availability

The Ninja AutoBarista Pro is $949 from Best Buy and £899 direct from SharkNinja. I hate that I’m writing this, but $950 isn’t actually that expensive for a fully automatic espresso machine.

I’ve also tested the $1,499 De’Longhi Rivelia, the $2,699 Jura E8, the coffee-only (yes, no milk) $999 Jura ENA 4, and the $1,999 KitchenAid KF8.

So, in comparison, the Ninja AutoBarista Pro is pretty well-priced. Although it doesn’t have totally hands-free milk — you still have to pour the milk into the jug and then pour it into your espresso — it does froth the milk for you.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Design

I was surprised when I unboxed the AutoBarista Pro — it’s not as visually appealing as I’d expected. Ninja seems to always hit design out of the park, especially with the Crispi and the Creami, and even the Luxe Cafe.

But not the AutoBarista Pro. I’m not sure what about it rubs me the wrong way. Perhaps the sharp lines, the somewhat dim screen? The chrome buttons? It just looks like something that would have come out about ten years ago, not now.

The machine is almost entirely plastic, too: the water tank is relatively flimsy, the exterior is a shiny plastic, and the drip tray is mostly plastic. This is a shame, but, then again, you can’t expect perfection from a (relatively) affordable automatic machine.

The screen is nowhere near as clear as the Breville Oracle Dual Boiler ($3,000), but is, thankfully, easy to use and perfect for beginners. There are little graphics of all the different types of coffee, and then you can adjust details like coffee intensity, milk texture, heat, as much as you like. I suppose, though, it’s unfair to compare a $950 machine and a $3K machine — you would expect the quality to be different.

One thing I love is the steam wand. It looks almost identical to the Oracle Dual Boiler — it’s wider than most at-home steam wands, and has a single powerful spout rather than holes — and is incredibly powerful. I’ll talk about it more below, but this is one of my favorite aspects of the Ninja.

Don’t get me wrong, the AutoBarista Pro isn’t hideous or a plastic hunk of garbage — not at all. It just doesn’t look as premium as I would like. Even though it’s cheaper than other automatic machines, almost $1,000 is still a huge amount of money. As a result, I’d like it to look a little more premium.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Espresso

In terms of ease of use, the AutoBarista Pro wins all the awards. It’s supremely easy to control. You don’t have to do any prep at all. You do have to wait, though — each drink took at least a minute to make. This was noticeably longer than the De’Longhi Rivelia and De’Longhi Magnifica Evo ($899).

When I first installed the hopper and poured in my beans, I used GrindIQ to adjust the grind. This took about six minutes and used a decent amount of coffee, so I’d only recommend using this if you tend to use the same beans over and over. I would hate to waste that much coffee for every 200g bag of specialty beans, for example.

Thankfully, like the De’Longhi Rivelia, you get two bean hoppers, so you don’t have to empty out the hopper if you want to switch beans.

But after the machine calibrated itself, it was beyond easy to use. I simply adjusted the intensity using the screen, adjusted the ratio (you can do anything from 1:2 to 1:6), and pressed go.

On medium intensity, the espresso is really weak, so I found I had to use the strongest level to get a normal-tasting espresso. Even the most intense mode isn’t as flavorful as a manual espresso machine — so I wouldn’t recommend this machine if you’re an espresso evangelist. I think most of these issues lie within the grinder, which you can't manually control.

Here’s a photo of an espresso made using Ninja’s default settings (so 1:2, medium intensity, double shot).

As you can see, the color is quite light. This was using artisan beans with notes of almond, fudge, and cherry.

The shot tasted a little juicy, a little nutty, but didn’t have the rich mouthfeel you might expect from a manual espresso machine. Again, this is a fine trade-off if you seriously value ease of use and can’t be bothered with grinding, tamping, and dosing at 7am, but coffee nerds might want to look elsewhere.

My colleagues reported that the coffee generally tasted quite weak, but was still drinkable, even on the most intense setting.

I would also advise against using this machine for cold brew. Take a look at this...

This tasted incredibly weak (if you couldn't guess that from the photo) — there was maybe a whisper of flavor. I honestly had to throw this away. I was impressed to see the machine automatically adjusted the grind for cold brew (it needs coarser than espresso), but the result was still poor and it didn't taste good.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Milk

Even though the espresso functionality left me longing for more, I do really like the steam wand function on the AutoBarista Pro. It’s not as hands-off as other automatic machines like the Jura E8 or the KitchenAid KF8. You have to pour the milk into the pitcher and then pour it into your mug. You also have to clean and purge the steam wand as you would on a manual espresso machine.

As a barista who loves the ritual of making coffee and getting her hands dirty, this is much more my style than the fully automatic machines I’ve tested in the past.

You don’t get any control over the actual steaming, though, which is perfect for hands-off baristas who want consistently technically perfect coffees, but not ideal for someone like me.

You can adjust the milk texture settings from wet, to melted ice cream flat white texture, to cappuccino texture. You can even cold foam milk, which was super fun. Here’s a photo of a standard flat white using all of Ninja’s default settings.

As you can see, the texture is pretty good, but it’s not as soft or velvety as a human barista. Even so, my colleagues reported that the milk texture was “yummy” (direct quote), with a soft mouthfeel and a nice creaminess.

You can also toggle the “dairy milk” and “plant-based milk” setting. I’m not sure what difference this actually makes, as I forgot to turn it to plant-based milk when I was frothing oat milk and it turned out the same.

However, I would not recommend this for cold foam.

As you can see, the texture is a bit strange. It’s much too bubbly, not really stiff peaks like you’d expect from cold foam. And if you swipe to the second picture, you’ll see how it looked after a few seconds. Yep… that’s basically just an iced latte.

So, the long and short of it is: hot drinks, yes, cold drinks… no.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Storage & maintenance

As you might expect from an automatic espresso machine, the Ninja AutoBarista Pro is pretty large. It’s 17.8 x 10.7 x 15.8, and took up a decent amount of space in my kitchen. Not a con, just something to be mindful of!

Now, a con: you will be refilling the water tank after about four drinks. And if you’re making cold brew, one drink.

No, that’s not an exaggeration, and yes, I’m quite sure. I had to refill the AutoBarista Pro after four drinks, every single time. I’m not sure where all the water goes, but it goes somewhere. It’s thirstier than an AI data center.

Alright, so now you know what to expect, we can move on. Cleaning the AutoBarista Pro is straightforward: Ninja provides you with a few months’ worth of cleaning tablets and a water filter (mandatory if you live in a hard water area). Running a cleaning cycle is as easy as following the instructions on the machine itself. Replacement cleaning products are around $14 from Amazon.

Ninja offers a 2-year warranty, which is the same as Fellow, De’Longhi, and Breville.

Ninja AutoBarista Pro review: Verdict

If you prioritize ease of use over anything else, you’ll be happy with the Ninja AutoBarista Pro. This is one of the easiest coffee machines I’ve ever tested. You literally just have to press a button, and the machine does the hard work for you, in the same way the De’Longhi Rivelia takes all the guesswork out of coffee-making.

However, I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone. It’s considerably bulkier than I expected, and the screen is nowhere near as bright as the aforementioned De’Longhi Rivelia. The coffee tends to be weak, even when extracted on the maximum intensity setting — and I wouldn’t recommend it for cold brew or cold foam at all.

All that being said, if you want a (relatively) affordable espresso machine and you’re the kind of person who drinks flavored lattes away — or you simply want a cold foam maker and you want it right now — then the Ninja AutoBarista Pro will do the job. It’s one of the most “brain off” espresso machines I’ve ever reviewed. I just wish it hit more of its marks.

Prime Day is less than two weeks away, and new deals have been dropping every day in the lead-up to the event. One of my favorite offers so far is on Ninja kitchen appliances, which are currently up to 40% off during Amazon’s early sale.

From air fryers and blenders to juicers and coffee makers, Ninja has everything you need to cook like a pro — and the devices start at just $69. Keep scrolling to check out these early Prime Day deals.

Ninja Deals

As a home appliance reviewer, I'll be super honest here — I'm a big fan of all things Ninja. During my tenure at Tom's Guide AU, I've gotten to spend some serious hands-on time with Ninja's novelty kitchen appliances — and it's safe to say that I'm pretty obsessed.

However, my biggest gripe is pricing. While the brand always impresses me, its pricing can be a sore spot for those with tighter purse strings. And I get it — thanks to the current cost of living and inflation, everything feels super expensive right now.

Thankfully, Ninja (and sister brand Shark) has come to the rescue with some seriously tempting deals during its EOFY sale on its website and Amazon storefront. From now until July 1, 2026, you can save up to AU$200 off across Ninja's kitchen range — from grills, to blenders, novelty appliances, like the Slushi or Creami, and even my favourite Ninja Crispi air fryer, now just AU$220.

I've gathered my top-rated EOFY deals from Ninja for your perusal below. You'll need to act fast to nab these deals, though, as they will expire as soon as July 1, 2026, rolls around.

Best Ninja Kitchen EOFY deals

Ninja is well known for being one of the most popular air fryer brands. Apart from coming top of Tom’s Guide’s best air fryers guide, Ninja performs consistently well across industry tests and consumer reviews.

So, when I got to introduce Cuisinart’s ClearView air fryer, it came as a bit of a shock, as this newly launched glass air fryer gives the Ninja’s Crispi a run for its money.

Many people may well opt for Ninja over other brands, just for the company’s consistent performance and reliability. But my advice is don’t assume that the Ninja Crispi is the best buy. Cuisinart’s ClearView air fryer has a lot to offer that could make you change your mind.

Ninja Crispi vs Cuisinart ClearView: Price

When comparing air fryers, a good benchmark is price. The Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Glass air fryer that my colleague tested in the Stone colorway is $179 at Amazon, while the CyberSpace Gray version is currently $164 at Amazon. The online store is selling plenty of other color options, including Sage, Ginger Snap and Electric Cobalt.

Cuisinart’s ClearView 4-quart air fryer is available for $139 at Amazon — $40 below the regular price of the Ninja Crispi. However, you only get the standard black color option.

Winner: Cuisinart

Ninja Crispi vs Cuisinart ClearView: Design

The key factor about these two air fryers is that they have clear glass bowls. It’s what makes them different from the majority of air fryers on the market, as you can instantly see what’s going on inside without disturbing the cook.

The design also means you can place the bowls straight on the table without them being an eyesore, or cover them with a lid to store in the refrigerator or freezer.

I’ve already mentioned above about the great color options you get with the Ninja Crispi, and for this reason alone it wins on design. However, although you get panoramic glass windows on both air fryers, to give you full sight of cooking progress, you get a top viewing window with the ClearView, and a light to help you see more clearly what’s going on inside.

Although you will pay more for the Ninja Crispi, you do get an extra 6-cup storage bowl with a snap-lock lid. A handy extra if you often have leftovers.

Winner: Ninja

Ninja Crispi vs Cuisinart ClearView: Functions

The Ninja Crispi is slightly different from standard air fryers. Instead of a temperature control with 5-degree increments, like the Cuisinart’s ClearView, it has four preset buttons: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry and Recrisp (which translates to Roast, Recrisp, Air Fry and Keep Warm on the U.K. model).

If you’ve used an air fryer before, you might feel the presets seem limiting. However, you can adjust the timer, either up or down, in one-minute increments. However, you can’t stop the cooking setting early if you decide your food is ready, you’ll have to turn the whole appliance off.

With Cuisinart’s ClearView, you get full-on temperature control and two custom presets for all your favorite recipes. What’s more, it has a ‘Shake reminder’ to alert you when it’s time to turn or shake your food for crispy results.

Winner: Cuisinart

Ninja Crispi vs Cuisinart ClearView: Verdict

When you take into account the price, design, and functionality, I’ll be putting my money on Cuisinart’s ClearView air fryer over Ninja's Crispi air fryer for now. But for a fair trial, I'll be testing the Cuisinart ClearView air fryer shortly and will report back with my full review.

Update: The wait is now over as my review of the Cuisinart Clearview air fryer is now live.

Ninja Deals

In 2024, Ninja launched a frozen drink maker that turns any drink into a slushy. The aptly-named Ninja Slushi was, and has continued to be, a huge success. So much so, the Ninja Slushi Max launched after it, providing you with even bigger, smarter and faster frosty beverages.

It shouldn't be all that surprising then that Ninja has introduced its next twist on the viral original. Twist being the operative word. What is surprising is that it did it so quietly.

All of a sudden, the Ninja Slushi Twist, able to mix two flavors in one go, is now available to buy for $399 at SharkNinja.com. Or, it would be, if it wasn't already completely sold out. A viral success like its predecessors, a quiet launch clearly didn't go under everyone's radar.

But, if you're patient enough to wait, you'll be able to grab one when they're back in stock — just in time for some summer hosting.

Meet the Slushi Twist

The Ninja Slushi Twist takes the unique design of the OG model and combines it with the increased capacity of the Slushi Max (just 6oz less). But, what makes it really different is that it allows you to mix two separate flavors together, if you want to.

With purely automatic programming, at just the touch of a button you can slush two drinks together creating endless exciting combos, or keep them entirely separate. And what's really clever about the Slushi Twist is that it uses Dual SlushAssist Technology to sense the ingredients in each vessel to auto-adjust temperatures to suit.

So, if you're hosting in the summer months, whether it's for a BBQ or World Cup viewing, you've got the perfect slushy, every time. Plus, the Slushi Twist is capable of producing 10 separate servings at a time for all your guests. Even better? You don't need any ice whatsoever. Pour, press, and slush.

Ninja is calling it "the first of its kind," creating an ultimate solution if you're after multiple slushies without having to buy multiple Ninja Slushi machines.

Why I can't wait to try it

I think I'm amongst friends when I say that when I'm picking my frozen slushy at the movie theater, I'm combining flavors. But, I've never been able to recreate this at home.

And then Ninja is suggesting I could whip up a kid-friendly slushy in one side and a more adult-friendly drink in the other (I'm thinking frozen margs) and now, I'm incredibly intrigued to try it out. As long as I'm labelling each side appropriately!

But, while the Slushi Twist images I've been seeing online show off perfectly twisted drinks in vibrant colors, I'm a little worried I won't be able to recreate this myself. I know there's an art to it and fortunately, Ninja knows that too. In fact, it has even made a YouTube tutorial on 'Mastering the Twist' that makes it look a little simpler.

Whether I've got the skills or not, I'm certainly excited by the prospect of twisted frozen drinks on tap. I'll just have to wait until I get my hands on one for a review.

• Forget the Ninja Slushi — how to make a slushie in a blender in 3 easy steps

Straight off the back of the recent Slushi Max launch down under, Ninja has welcomed another viral portable into its Aussie arsenal.

Introducing the Ninja BlendBoss — the brand's first-ever tumbler blender that you can take on the go. You can crush and blend your favourite ingredients, detach the base and sip with the matching lid for the ultimate portability. With more people prioritising wellness and self-care, it's the perfect product for leading a healthy lifestyle and all-around convenience.

Better yet, it comes in some seriously delicious-sounding colourways, and an equally attractive price tag. Available at Ninja direct, and retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys, the Blendboss retails at AU$199.99, and comes with a powerful 1,100W motor base, 760ml large tumbler, a specialised crush blade and a chug & straw lid.

Now, I can see what you're thinking — yes, AU$199.99 is a bit much for any blender, let alone a portable one and in most cases, I'd agree, but in the case of the BlendBoss, IMHO, its RRP is a bargain. In terms of functionality, the BlendBoss combines the need for a cup post-blender (or tumbler, in this instance) with a powerful base that can mix almost any ingredient.

In our Ninja BlendBoss review, our Homes editor, Millie, gave it 4.5 stars, attributing it to the pitcher's portability. In her words, "it's hard to fault performance" as it aced every performance test she put it through. Not to mention, the BlendBoss is very cute and easy on the eyes, making it a surefire hit for those with colourful appliances or thousands of emotional support drink bottles (myself included). Plus, it fits in most cup holders, so it's ideal for carting to the gym, work, sporting games or anywhere in between if you (or your kids) are reguarly in the car.

Speaking of cute colours, it would be remiss of me not to mention the fabulously fruity names that Ninja has crafted for the BlendBoss.. The colours include: Cyberspace, Blue Raspberry, Watermelon Bubble Gum, Lavender Lemonade and Stone Mint. My personal pick would be Blue Raspberry, which has a blue motor and a green tumbler base, and is somewhat reminiscent of blue spirulina smoothies I used to make during my short-lived 2021 fitness kick.

Oh, and if you're worried about clean up, fret not — all of the BlendBoss' parts are dishwasher safe, so you can chuck it on the top shelf once you've finished your blended beverage.

When it comes to viral Ninja products like the BlendBoss, bear in mind you’ll need to get in quick — these bad boys are sure to fly off shelves.

The Moccamaster is revered in the coffee world, and for good reason. It's one of the few SCA-certified (Specialty Coffee Association) drip brewers, it has a lifetime repair promise, and is so good that it's remained mostly unchanged since the '60s. But it's also $369... yes, $369. This price is simply unattainable for most of us.

If you're looking for a drip brewer for less, let me introduce the Ninja 12-Cup Coffee Brewer. This little workhorse is just $89 — but often discounted to $69 — and is a fantastic budget option. We've got this in our New York office and it's a crowd pleaser (and then some).

So, no, you don't have to spend $400 to get one of the best coffee makers. Let me tell you exactly what the Ninja 12-Cup Coffee Maker is capable of. Spoiler alert: it's an absolute steal if you can snag it for $70.

Choose your brew

Just like the Technivorm Moccamaster KGBV Select, the Ninja 12-Cup puts you in the driver's seat. You can choose to brew either a full batch or a small batch (1-4 cups vs 12 cups), so you never waste coffee. And when you have guests around, everyone gets a cup of hot coffee at the same time.

If that's not enough, there are also two brewing modes: Classic and Rich. Classic makes that smooth and full-bodied cup, whereas Rich is more intense. Of course, you can still adjust this flavor based on how much coffee you put in the filter basket — you're in control, after all.

Wake up to a fresh pot every day

Now, this is something my Moccamaster actually can't do. With the Ninja 12-Cup, like the Smeg Retro Coffee Maker, you can program a delayed brew start. Essentially, you can set your coffee maker up before bed, then it will come on before you wake up so you get a fresh pot of coffee as your alarm clock.

Honestly, how cool is that? I want to wake up every day to the smell of coffee. Maybe it'd make that early-morning alarm more palatable.

But there are some sacrifices for the $90 price tag

Of course, you're not going to get the same performance in a $90 coffee maker as you would in a $370 coffee maker. The Ninja doesn't have SCA certification, and it doesn't have a 5-year warranty or lifetime repairs.

Ninja only offers a 1-year warranty, which obviously pales in comparison to Technivorm's. If you want an SCA-approved machine, you'll unfortunately have to fork out a bit more for something like the Moccamaster, the super-speedy Breville Luxe Brewer, or the gorgeous Fellow Aiden.

One of the cheapest SCA-certified models I've seen is the $149 Bonavita 5-Cup. Of course, though, this is only a 5-cup brewer — the Ninja does double that!

You're always going to have to weigh up pros and cons when choosing a new coffee maker — but the Ninja excels in the price department. You get a surprising range of features for your $90, which is why the Ninja 12-Cup is my go-to for a great drip machine that won't break the bank.

Have you tried the Ninja 12-Cup, or would you try it? Let me know in the comments, and be sure to check back next Friday for more from The Coffee Lab. I post new videos on Tom's Guide's TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube every single week.

Coffee culture is booming, and nowhere is this more evident than in our own homes, where we are now fully-fledged baristas making our own exceptional brews.

Ninja is a brand we love that's ever-popular with consumers for its high-performance appliances, and it doesn’t fall short when it comes to the coffee market.

In Ninja’s first-ever celebrity collaboration, it has partnered with soccer superstar David Beckham to launch a limited-edition version of the Luxe Café Pro. When we reviewed this espresso machine last year, we gave it a 4.5-star rating, stating: “The Ninja Luxe Café Pro offers the perfect balance between ease of use and manual features to create a uniquely accessible machine that almost everyone will love.”

Designed by Beckham

Aside from previously recommending the Ninja Luxe Café Pro, this limited-edition version offers a new take on the original design.

The Beckham design features a bead-blasted matte-black stainless-steel body with a black chestnut wood grain and gold accents, and Ninja says these materials are new to the Luxe Café line. The decision is apparently inspired by natural textures of the English countryside, a link back to Beckham’s roots.

What can you expect to pay for this limited edition? It’s a hefty $899 from SharkNinja, which is $150 more than the standard Ninja Luxe Café Pro that SharkNinja sells for $749. You could argue you're getting a bit more bling for your money, but the underlying appliance remains the same. So it's a question of how much you value having a little bit of Beckham on your countertop?

Adding color to our kitchens

The Beckham collab is one of seven new limited-edition colorways rolling out this spring across the Ninja Luxe Café Premier and Ninja Luxe Café Pro series, with the Ninja’s Premier limited-edition series priced at a slightly more modest $599. The Premier range is available in Oat Milk, Ash Green, and Raspberry Blush, while the Pro lineup adds CyberSpace & Gold, Oat Milk, and the Beckham collab — with Stone & Gold and Onyx to launch in May.

Ninja is certainly adding more color to our kitchens, especially with Raspberry Blush, which makes me think of the delightful colors that KitchenAid offers with its stand mixers, not forgetting that Ninja already offers similar color options with the Ninja Creami and Ninja Crispi.

Is this a sign that we’ll see more colors added across Ninja’s ranges in the future?

“We have always believed that the objects you interact with every day should bring you joy, and color is one of the most powerful ways to do that,” said Howard Nuk, Chief Advanced Concept Engineering Officer at SharkNinja.

“Introducing bold colors like CyberSpace & Gold and a cheerful Raspberry Blush is our way of saying that performance and personal expression are not mutually exclusive.”

Now that spring has arrived, one of my goals is to eat healthier — which means cooking more meals at home. While it might sound like a bit of a hassle, with the right kitchen appliances and tools, it can actually be a breeze.

Sure, Amazon's Big Spring Sale might be over — but surprisingly, we're still seeing amazing deals when it comes to kitchen appliances. In fact, brands like Ninja, Nespresso, Cuisinart and KitchenAid are slashing the prices on their best-selling appliances.

If you're in the market for a new air fryer, I highly suggest the Ninja Flip, which is sporting a $50 discount. Need a new coffee maker? The Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ is down to $99.

I love a good family-style meal. Whether it's hosting a dinner party for my parents or enjoying a cake picnic with my closest circle of friends, I love plating up exquisite dishes and trying new recipes. But this hasn't always been the case. I was a notoriously bad chef, and I would often groan at the thought of any meal taking longer than 20 minutes to prepare.

Fortunately, that’s where the world of kitchen appliances comes into its own, with the sole purpose of making cooking easier and more efficient. I’ve been fortunate enough to try out a variety of kitchen gadgets and gizmos, and I can honestly say they've improved my cooking skills. These appliances have helped me bid farewell to the days of burnt toast, undercooked chicken, and soggy fries — all without adding any extra fuss to meal prep.

From effortlessly creating complex cakes with my KitchenAid stand mixer to brewing up caffeine delights with my Ninja Luxe Cafe, the gadgets listed below are my most-used, most-loved and most-rated in the kitchen. And the best part? They're now discounted at select retailers, including Amazon, KitchenAid and The Good Guys.

You'll need to act fast to nab a solid discount, though, as these prices won't stick around long.

Air fryers are highly sought-after kitchen appliances, and for good reason. They offer the pleasure of crispy, fried dishes while drastically reducing the oil, fat, and strong odors associated with traditional deep-frying. But with so many air fryers to choose from, how can you pick the best one?

The Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer also functions as a convection oven and toaster, and certainly looks the part. And with a 5-quart capacity, it was plenty big enough for my family of four. However, you’ll want to measure your countertops before buying this appliance, as it will take up a good amount of space.

I tested the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer to see how it compared with other popular choices. My verdict? I’d put it up there as one of the best air fryers for a medium-sized family who enjoys pizza, fries, bagels, and more. Here’s how the Ninja performed during my testing.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer: Price and availability

The Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer is available on Amazon for $181. You can also purchase the air fryer on SharkNinja’s website or at major retailers like Target, Kohl’s, Best Buy, and Walmart. Currently, it’s not available in the U.K.

In addition, there’s only one color option: stainless steel with black accents. However, this classic design should look at home in most kitchens, regardless of color scheme.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer review: Design

The Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer is a sizeable appliance that arrived in a large box, and at 16 x 15 x 13 inches, it will take up quite a bit of room on your countertop. It’s well-designed, however, and pairs well with other appliances. But if you’re short on space, you’ll need to make sure you have a place to store it when not in use.

It comes with several accessories: an air fry basket, a wire rack, a sheet pan, a broil rack, and a crumb tray. Each component is easy to clean with warm, soapy water; Ninja does not recommend putting any of them in the dishwasher. After washing and rinsing, pat the accessory dry and replace it in the air fryer to store until next use.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer review: Performance

I tested the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer for two weeks. I looked for a mix of recipes and meal ideas that would let me test several functions. Here’s how the appliance performed in my kitchen.

Air-Fried Sweet Potatoes

To test the air fry setting, I peeled and chopped a sweet potato into cubes rather than into fry shapes. Per the instruction booklet, I soaked them in cold water for 30 minutes, then patted them dry. I tossed the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil, then threw them into the air fry basket and set the Ninja to “Air Fry” at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 18 minutes.

About halfway through, I took the sheet pan out and shook the sweet potatoes to ensure even crisping. I liked that the timer paused when I opened the doors, so I didn’t have to worry about losing time or ending up with undercooked veggies. After about 15 minutes total, the sweet potatoes looked done, so I removed them. The resulting sweet potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside — just as I like them.

Sausages and Peppers

To see how the air fryer handles protein, I followed a recipe from the guide that came in the box: Sheet pan sausage and peppers. The recipe uses the air roast function and the sheet pan. I sliced the bell peppers and onions and tossed them with oil as directed. Then I placed them on one side of the sheet pan and added the sausages to the other.

The recipe says to set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and the time to 25 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the peppers after 10 minutes. The sausages needed to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to be done.

After 20 minutes in total, everything looked very crispy, so I tested the sausages and found they were done. I served them on buns with the peppers on top, and they were delicious.

Bagels

The Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer has both a bagel and a toast setting. I decided to test the former while making breakfast. Both settings let you choose the number of bread and bagel slices (1–6) and the shade level (1–7). I set the appliance to toast two bagel slices with a shade level of 4.

Using these settings, the air fryer was automatically set to 5 minutes. However, after 4 minutes, I noticed that the bagel looked a little browner than I like, so I took it out. It was definitely overdone and chewy when I ate it. I’d stick to choosing lighter shades or keeping a closer eye on the appliance when making toast or bagels in the future.

Pizza

My family loves homemade pizza, so I was excited to test the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer’s pizza setting. I’ve made pizzas in a toaster oven before and liked the way they turned out, so I wanted to see how the Ninja would measure up.

I set the temperature at 400 degrees Fahrenheit and the time for 45 minutes. In my full-size oven, it would easily take that long to make four pizzas (one at a time) for my family. The air fryer preheated within 90 seconds. I added the first pizza and kept a close eye on it until it turned golden, about 8 minutes. In total, I had all four pizzas ready in less than 30 minutes — much faster than my usual method.

The pizzas were perfectly cooked, and my entire family devoured them. My favorite part was that the fresh mushrooms I added to my pizza didn’t make the dough soggy, as they usually do in my oven. I will definitely use the Ninja for future family pizza nights.

Noise

As with any kitchen appliance, noise is a concern—especially in my open-plan kitchen, where it travels to the living room. I noted that the Ninja French Door Premier was much quieter than I expected.

While traditional air fryers vary in noise level depending on the fan setting, the Ninja French Door Premier’s noise range was similar across all settings. I measured a maximum of 64 decibels during preheating and periodically during cooking — that’s similar to the quiet drone of a business office.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer review: Ease of use and cleaning

I found the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer extremely easy to use, and all my questions were answered in the owner’s guide or quick-start guide. The first couple of times I used it, I got a little confused by the settings — for example, I kept hitting “start” in the middle of the dial when trying to toggle between modes, temperatures, and cook times. But after a couple of uses, this wasn’t a problem anymore.

Similarly, cleaning the appliance is easy. After each use, simply remove the sheet pan or rack and wash it with warm, soapy water. There’s also a crumb tray at the bottom that you can remove after each use and wash or wipe clean to remove crumbs and other residue.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer review: Competition

Since the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer also functions as a convection oven, it’s hard to compare it to a typical air fryer. This appliance is designed to be a jack-of-all-trades, whereas our best-rated air fryer, the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1, only has four functions (air fry, roast, reheat, and dehydrate). The Pro 4-in-1 performs these functions extremely well, but it can’t toast, bake, or make pizza like the French Door Premier can.

Another option to consider is the Cosori Turboblaze, which has bake and grill settings comparable to those of the Ninja French Door Premier. The Cosori also has a higher maximum temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (the Ninja tops out at 400 degrees) and is smaller than the Ninja, which might make it a better fit (literally) if you have a small kitchen or limited counter space.

Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer review: Verdict

After testing the Ninja French Door Premier Air Fryer in my kitchen for two weeks, I can highly recommend it — as long as you have the space. Its large size could be off-putting if you have a smaller kitchen.

But if you have the space to store it, it’s worth the money. It will certainly become a mainstay in my kitchen, if only for its ability to make perfect pizzas and fast weeknight meals.

Let’s get one thing straight: if you haven’t at least considered buying a Ninja appliance in the last five years, you’ve probably been living off grid. The company is synonymous with the rise of air fryers, at-home ice cream makers, and blenders. And honestly, when an Amazon sale comes around, it's the first brand I look for.

Nowadays, I don't think I could live without my Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer, which allows my wife and me to cook a full meal without turning the oven on. In fact, our oven broke three weeks ago — and we've opted to go without it during our kitchen renovation, because our Ninja does the job just as well, if not better.

At the moment, Amazon's Spring Deal Days is in full flow, and with that comes some excellent savings on some of Ninja's best products. I've scoured the sales event to find the best options from air fryers to knife sharpeners, and everything in between.

Why I think everyone needs a Ninja Air Fryer

When I first saw the hype about air fryers, I thought it was a fad that would quickly disappear. But after finally taking the plunge and surrendering my countertop, I have to admit defeat: you absolutely need a Ninja Air Fryer in your life. It fundamentally respects your time in a way few other appliances do. Going from frozen ingredients to a perfectly crispy dinner in under twenty minutes means I actually cook instead of mindlessly ordering takeout after a long day of staring at screens.

If you grab one of their dual-basket models, the "Smart Finish" feature is a legitimate game-changer. Roasting veggies in one drawer while air-frying chicken in the other, and having the machine sync them up to finish at the exact same second, takes away all the stress in the kitchen. It isn't just a passing TikTok trend; in fact, I'd go as far as to say that it’s easily the most impactful piece of tech in my house that doesn't have an Apple logo stamped on the back.

It's no secret that Ninja makes some of the best small appliances on the market. From air fryers and blenders to juicers and coffee makers, the brand has everything you need to cook like a pro — whether you're a seasoned chef or you're just starting out on your culinary journey.

I own several of Ninja's top-rated gadgets, and they genuinely make everyday cooking faster and easier. Luckily, now is the perfect time to buy. Amazon is offering up to 35% off select Ninja appliances for a limited time. So, if you're ready to upgrade your set up and make meal prep simple, look no further than my favorite Ninja picks below, starting at just $69.

Ninja changed the air fryer game when it released the Crispi in 2025, but can the new Crispi Pro do the same? A larger, more permanent addition to your countertops, this modular glass cooking system can accommodate food for up to 10 people.

The new Crispi Pro also resolves one of my main gripes with the original Crispi and offers precise temperature controls instead of a range of preset cooking modes. This air fryer can cook from 80 to 450°F, which is pretty versatile, and the timer can run up to one hour.

After using the Crispi Pro to make everything from a roast chicken to frozen french fries, my only real gripe is the price tag. $279 is hard to justify, even for the very best air fryers.

If you're happy to pay, though, the Ninja Crispi Pro is a worthy addition to any kitchen countertop. I was impressed by its build quality, which felt sturdy and expensive, and its cooking performance is hard to fault. Here's what you need to know.

Ninja Crispi Pro review: Price and availability

The Ninja Crispi Pro is astoundingly expensive, and once you've invested, you'll pay handsomely to upgrade your cooking system further. At $279, you could buy two of my top-rated Ninja Pro air fryers, and have a little pocket money to spare.

What's more, you only get two cooking containers included with your Crispi Pro: the 2.5 quart and 6 quart containers. Want to try the 4-quart container? You'll need to spend an extra $50 at SharkNinja to get your hands on it.

It does look fantastic on a kitchen countertop, and I enjoy the range of colors to choose from. I tried it in the shade Cyberspace, but if I were buying it for my home, I'd definitely opt for Rose Quartz. Mark my words: one of these days, I'll get my hands on a pink air fryer.

Ninja Crispi: Design

Both glass containers included with the Crispi Pro have a removable nonstick plate insert and a lid that can be used to store leftovers or meal prep directly inside the containers.

They also come on plastic bases, which allow you to lift your hot cooking container and place it straight on your dining table for serving up family-style meals.

To cook with the different sized containers you'll need to move your stand up or down to accommodate. The middle setting is effectively defunct until you buy a 4-quart container, so you'll be using the top height for your 2.5-quart container and the base for your 6-quart container.

The settings are clearly marked on the display of the Crispi Pro: there's Air Fry, Max Crisp, ReCrisp, Roast, Bake/Proof and Dehydrate. That's two more than the original Crispi, which just had Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp.

You're also able to toggle the temperature and timer using a dial on the front of the display. It feels great to use, with a tactile clicking sensation as you twist it and a button finish to start and stop cooking.

I found that the Crispi Pro automatically paused cooking when I took out the cooking container, meaning you can stir or shake food mid-cook, just like you would with a regular air fryer.

I can't remember the last time I cooked frozen food in the oven. That's my air fryer's job! When I tested the original Crispi, I found that it was a worthy competitor to most traditional air fryers, and the Crispi Pro is no different. It cooked some tasty gochujang chicken wings from frozen to juicy and sizzling in just 18 minutes, which was 7 minutes less time than the packaging instructions.

Halfway through cooking I added some frozen french fries in with my chicken wings, and they came out golden and crunchy — perhaps a little overcooked!

This is largely down to the fact I was cooking in the smaller 2.5-quart container, which meant my frozen food was very close to the heating element. Because of this, the pre-heat time needed was minimal, and the crisper plate allowed air to circulate both above and underneath the food, resulting in an even finish without having to flip my food.

Roasting chicken and potatoes

Ninja boasts that the Crispi Pro can cook an entire chicken, but considering I was just cooking dinner for two, I decided to test this theory with half a chicken sat atop some potato wedges.

I first cut some potatoes into thick wedges and tossed them in oil and seasoning before sitting my criper plate and my peri-peri half chicken on top. You'd struggle to fit a large chicken on a crisper plate, but if you removed it, there's no reason why you couldn't cook an entire bird in the Crispi Pro.

The results were impressive. Yes, the seasoning on top of the chicken skin browned a little faster than I'd have liked on the Roast setting, but it was sat very close to the heating element. I didn't flip the chicken midway like I usually would, but the finished meat was still very juicy and well-cooked, and after 40 minutes it was ready to serve.

What wasn't ready were my potato wedges. In the oven, these would typically take 45 minutes, but because they were sat under the crisper plate and removed from the heating element, they were almost-cooked and not very crisp after the chicken was removed. I removed them from the glass container and slotted them on top of the crisper plate, where it only took an extra 10 minutes to take them from pale and soft to brown and crispy.

Reheating mac and cheese

One of my favorite uses of the Ninja Crispi is to reheat or add a crispy top layer to sauce-based dishes. Because the crisper plate is removable, it means you can cook directly on the glass base, just like a typical baking dish. To test this in the Crispi Pro, I reheated some mac and cheese and topped it with panko and parmesan to give it a new lease of life.

I was surprised at just how much mac and cheese fit into the 2.5-quart container. It was easily enough to feed two as a main, or four as a side dish. Using the Max Crisp setting, I was left with a browned and bubbling pasta dish in just 8 minutes.

How does the Ninja Crispi Pro compare?

While they're both part of the same line, the Crispi and Crispi Pro are very different air fryers. You'll have to make the Crispi Pro a permanent feature on your kitchen counters, whereas the original Crispi is compact and ideal for storing in kitchen cupboards when not in use. For usability and versatility, I'd opt for the Pro over the original every time, but if you're short on space, the Crispi is a great choice.

At half the price of the Crispi Pro, you might enjoy the Ninja Air Fryer Pro 4-in-1 if you want a countertop fryer. It's not got the glass aesthetics or modular design, but it's a fantastic drawer-style air fryer that aced every test I put it through, and currently sits at the top of our best air fryer guide.

Should you buy the Ninja Crispi Pro?

If money were no object, I'd be giving the Crispi Pro five stars. But it's so hard to recommend a $279 air fryer that doesn't outperform the cheaper options I've tested. If all you want is a great air fryer and you don't mind about nonstick interiors or the lack of modular storage, you could save yourself a lot of money by picking up another one of Ninja's excellent fryers.

That's not to say that the Crispi Pro is bad, because it's not. This is a fantastic air fryer — it did a brilliant job of cooking my chicken evenly, left me with a bubbling, crisp mac and cheese and would also be a fantastic option if you love to meal prep. I also love how it looks, and can't fault the user experience. If you can stomach the price tag, you'll enjoy everything else about the Crispi Pro.

With spring fast approaching, it's time to declutter not just your home, but your appliances as well. And if you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen setup, Ninja is the go-to brand that offers a range of tools and cookware to meet your needs and lifestyle.

We’ve put together some of our favorite Ninja kitchen essentials that will cut meal prep in half and make cooking a breeze. Ranging from blenders for making quick, tasty smoothies and air fryers for whipping up everything from snacks to desserts — delicious treats just in time for spring.

Here are my top Ninja picks to spruce up your kitchen this season.

I know what you're thinking — Ninja saw the viral Stanley Cup tumblers and said "hold my smoothie." But there's a lot more than an on-trend aesthetic to like about the Ninja BlendBoss: it's stupidly powerful for a single-serve blender, blasting through ice, frozen fruit, and even dips with ease. In fact, the eye-catching design might be the least impressive thing about this single-serve blender.

First released in the U.S. in 2025, and now available to buy in the U.K., the BlendBoss is part of a new drive from Ninja to make kitchen gadgets that you not only need, but also want to have in your home. And if you ask me, the BlendBoss is an excellent example of how fun can meet functional.

I put the BlendBoss through its paces in the Tom's Guide test kitchen to see how it compares to the best blenders, and there's what happened.

Ninja BlendBoss: Specs

Ninja BlendBoss: First impressions

I was sent the BlendBoss in Lavender Lemonade, which combines a purple base with a purple and yellow pitcher. The pitcher is tinted, meaning all my drinks looked a little purple until I poured them out.

Each blender comes with one tumbler, so you'll need to buy extras if you want the whole family to take their blended drinks on the go. Except, there's a catch — they're currently all sold out at the SharkNinja website, and they retail for $39, which isn't cheap. With the likes of NutriBullet blenders, you'll usually get a minimum of two cups and a number of lids for sipping or simply covering in the fridge, so the BlendBoss is less versatile in this regard.

What it lacks in add-ons, the BlendBoss makes up for in features. It has three settings: Smoothie, Ice Crush and Blend, and an AutoIQ setting which will automatically tailor your blend cycle to the ingredients you add to your cup.

Its 1100-watt motor is well above what I'd expect for such a compact blender. It does make the base very weighty, but given its low profile it's still easily portable and will sit just about anywhere in your kitchen.

As for its Stanley Cup-esque design, the likeness doesn't end with the shape and handle. It also comes with a pop-up lid and a straw that can be inserted so it pops up when you open the cup. If, like me, you're so committed to drinking out of a silly little straw that the idea of using a normal cup does not appeal, this is a feature you'll enjoy using.

Ninja BlendBoss: Performance

If you were wondering if the BlendBoss is style over substance, I'll jump to the chase and say that it aced every single test I gave it. I was not only impressed, but also incredibly surprised. This is easily the most powerful single-serve blender I've tested —and I've tested a lot!

Smoothies

First up, I made a smoothie from frozen berries, oats, milk and honey. This is a classic in my house, and a good test of any blender's ice crush mode. Frozen cherries are a challenge for any blender, and if left un-blended oats and berry seeds can make the texture of the smoothie quite gritty.

I added the ingredients to my cup, screwed on the blending lid and switched to Ice Crush mode.

The BlendBoss is noisier than I was expecting. On my SoundMeter app it hit 92dB when crushing my frozen ingredients, which is as loud as the Vitamix Ascent X2 which currently sits in the top spot of my blender buying guide.

However, like the Vitamix, the end result is worth a bit of grief from your neighbors. My smoothie was thick and ice-cold, with no lumps or un-incorporated ingredients. The only thing that stopped it from hitting Vitamix-level creamy (and for reference, the Vitamix is six times the price) was some seeds and a little bit of oat grittiness, which is absolutely to be expected with a smaller blender.

Protein shakes

My partner makes a protein shake for breakfast every morning, so in my house, it's the number one reason for having a blender. Sure, you could use a shaker, but a blender will leave your drink well-mixed and lump-free.

I added a scoop of chocolate protein, some ice and some milk to my cup and turned the blender to Smoothie mode. The blender took just shy of a minute to finish blending, and the result was incredibly creamy.

This is the sort of drink I could feasibly throw straight in my bag and take into the office or to the gym, so I added my straw and popped on the to-go lid. The lid opens when you press a discrete button on the front of the lid, and there is a risk of something pressing against this button in your bag and flipping the lid clean open.

We ran some slightly unscientific tests in the kitchen to see if this could feasibly happen. Fortunately we found that unless you directly press against the button, there's no spill risk.

Brushing against it won't cause it to pop open as the button isn't overly sensitive, and when I shook the bottle upside-down nothing spilled from the sides or top. Still, I think it'd be good if Ninja added a lock feature to this lid, which is a feature you'll find on bottles from Owala and the like, to make sure there's no chance of accidental spills.

Hummus

I doubt Ninja made this blender with the expectation of people using it to make hummus, but it's one of the standard tests we do when testing blenders, and I wanted to give the BlendBoss a proper challenge.

To my cup I added a tin of drained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, seasoning and a couple of ice cubes (which I'm told give a smooth and creamy result) and twisted the cup into place.

This seemed like the perfect test for the IQ setting, which detects the strength and timings needed and adjusts accordingly.

When I've made hummus in personal blenders before, I've needed to take my cup off and give the contents a stir to make sure they're all blended evenly, so it was a real surprise when the BlendBoss automatically pulsed to evenly mix in my drier mix and the hummus started to swirl around inside the blending cup, no assistance needed.

Texturally, the finished result was easily as good as the hummus I've eaten at my favorite Lebanese restaurant. With some fine-tuning, I could happily never buy a tub in the supermarket again! It was incredibly creamy with no lumps or grittiness, the dip scooped easily out of the cup and into my serving bowl.

Ninja BlendBoss: Cleaning

Blenders are some of the most annoying appliances to clean, but fortunately the BlendBoss cup, lid and straw can all go in the dishwasher. Hooray! If you're cleaning by hand, this is also easy enough. I used a scrubbing brush to get the caked-on patches of protein powder away from the base of the cup, and due to the relative lack of grooves compared to something like the Beast blender, there weren't any fiddly areas I struggled to clean.

Should you buy the Ninja BlendBoss?

I'd buy this blender, and I'd recommend you do too. It's hard to fault its performance, and I also think it's very competitively priced for such a powerful option. While I'd never score it bonus points just for looking cute, let's be honest, it's easy on the eyes and that's never a bad thing!

The only real reasons not to buy the BlendBoss are if you want to use more than one blending cup, given the (at time of writing) lack of extras available at the SharkNinja website, and if the 24oz capacity would be too small for you. But if you're in the market for a super cute and capable personal blender, this is the one I'd recommend.

Ninja is known for making some of the most buzz worthy small kitchen appliances on the market — and I can personally vouch for the brand's hype. I own several of Ninja's top-rated gadgets, and they genuinely make everyday cooking faster and easier. Luckily, now is the perfect time to buy.

Amazon is offering up to 40% off select Ninja appliances for a limited time. One of my personal favorite deals is on the Ninja Flip Toaster Oven & Air Fryer, which is now $100 off. I own this super convenient and versatile appliance and use it on the daily to cook up my favorite meals.

From portable blenders and air fryers to ice cream makers and electric grills, Ninja has plenty of deals that make it easier (and more affordable) to cook like a pro. Keep scrolling to check my favorite Ninja picks from Amazon's sale.

I love a versatile kitchen appliance. If it can do more than one cooking mode or preset, consider me sold. Air fryers are perhaps the pinnacle of versatile kitchen appliances, and I’m happy to report that this is especially true for my kitchen’s latest addition, the Ninja Crispi.

Ninja's newest air frying device launched in Australia late last year to near universal praise, flying off shelves in an instant. What's even better is that right now, the Ninja Crispi is discounted by 29% on Amazon.

Sure, there's also a nice 17% discount directly at Ninja, but this AU$211.65 Amazon price is the second-cheapest it's been since the Crispi's Aussie debut in November. (If you were quick, it was just AU$196 on Christmas Day.) And better yet, this discount is across all three colourways: Cyberspace, Sage and Stone.

Note that this discount is exclusive to Amazon Prime members – and you'll likely need to act fast, as Amazon has flagged that this is a ‘limited’ promotion.

In our Ninja Crispi review, we gave it a massive 4.5 stars, as it was super quiet and delivered surprisingly crispy results. Our reviewer was pleasantly surprised by the device, and found the gadget "reinvented the traditional air fryers" they've used in the past.

I've really appreciated the simplicity and convenience that come with the Crispi. It's become an integral part of my daily routine — from frying up chicken tenders to roasting salmon perfectly, I've enjoyed every meal and side I've made with my Ninja Crispi. But something I've appreciated even more than the tasty results is the fact that I can pop a lid on my leftovers and chuck them in the fridge almost immediately, saving me the painstaking task of finding a plastic container and matching lid in my endless pit of a Tupperware drawer.

Unlike traditional air fryers, the Crispi doesn’t use traditional temperature adjustments and houses just four settings: Roast, Recrisp, Air Fry and Keep Warm. While the presets don't specify an exact figure on the device, the handbook says that temperatures start at 70°C on the lowest setting and go up to 200°C, which is a comparable range for most air fryers.

The timer on the Crispi can be adjusted in minute increments, and you can also add or reduce your cooking time. And to turn off the device, you'll need to hold down the 'Start' button, as it doesn't have a labelled off switch.

It has some quirks, then, but they haven’t stopped me from loving the result I’ve achieved with my Ninja Crispi.

It's National Pizza Day, and while wood-fired will always give you a more authentic result, electric pizza ovens are popular for a reason. They're incredibly easy to use while still offering great-tasting results, and they often kick up a lot less smoke than many of the best pizza ovens.

But, it's cold outside, so you might be looking at an electric pizza oven to use indoors. . Two of the top options are the Ninja Artisan and the Ooni Volt. Both offer 12-inches of cooking space and a range of settings for different types of pie. And fortunately for you, I've tried them both head-to-head.

So what's better, the Ooni Volt or the Ninja Artisan? Keep reading for my full verdict.

Ooni Volt vs Ninja Artisan: What's the difference?

On the surface, the Ooni Volt and Ninja Artisan look like very similar pizza ovens, but there's one very major difference which could help you decide on a winner. The Volt is designed to be an indoor-only oven. Its predecessor (now discontinued) was engineered to work both indoors and outdoors, but the latest iteration (the Volt 2) can't technically be used outdoors.

Now, my outdoor space sits below a balcony and therefore isn't at risk of getting wet, so would I break the rules a little and put it on my patio table for some al fresco cooking? Absolutely, and I have. But technically, you're not meant to.

The inverse is true for the Ninja Artisan. Despite its safety legs which elevate the base of the oven, and its electric design, it's actually engineered to be an outdoor-only pizza oven. Again, I can't recommend you use it indoors because Ninja doesn't, but I personally tested mine indoors during a rainy week in the fall, and it didn't cause any issues for my kitchen countertop, or kick up too much spoke.

If you've got a specific space in mind for your oven and you're less rebellious than me, that could be your decision made.

If you want to use your oven indoors, opt for the Ooni Volt. If you'd prefer to use it in the garden, the Ninja Artisan is going to be your best bet.

Ooni Volt vs Ninja Artisan: Price

Ooni's Volt 2 pizza oven retails for $699 / £499, whereas the Ninja Artisan costs $299 / £299. In the U.S., the Volt 2 will cost you twice as much as the Ninja oven, whereas in the U.K., where I (and Ooni) come from, the price is a little closer, but still significant.

With that price difference, you get Ooni's pizza pedigree and a machine that feels more slick and premium. We gave the Volt 2 a 4.5-star rating in our review, whereas the Ninja Artisan got 3.5 stars when we tested it last year. So on paper, while the Volt costs more, it's the better oven.

Ooni Volt vs Ninja Artisan: Features

With five settings (Neapolitan, Thin Crust, Pan, New York, and Custom) to the Ooni's three, you might think that the Ninja Artisan is the more versatile choice. However, these five settings are really just different pre-determined temperature settings within the oven, as opposed to the Ooni's 'Pizza Intelligence' system, which adjusts the heat input from both the top and bottom of the oven to cook different types of pizza in different ways.

The Artisan's temperature range is also smaller: 90-700°F compared to the Ooni's 68-850°F. This means you can cook your pizza in record times using the Ooni, and its top temperature is more than capable of giving your Neapolitan pie that iconic leopard-spotted look.

Included with the Ninja is an air fry basket and a roasting tin which allow you to use it as an outdoor oven, as well as for pizzas. The Volt 2 comes with a shelf, but you can also buy a pan for Detroit-style pizzas, as well as a sheet pan and rack. For the price, it would've been nice if these came included.

While you pay for it, the Ooni is the more versatile choice. However, due to its pre-sets, the Ninja is incredibly easy to use.

Ooni Volt vs Ninja Artisan: Performance

While the Volt hits the higher temperatures, that's not to say you can't get an authentic pizza from the Ninja Artisan. Below is a photo of a pizza I made at its hottest setting, the Neapolitan setting, and it did manage to brown and crisp around the edges before my toppings became too scorched.

When setting both ovens up, I noticed that each of them took around 15 minutes to hit their top temperatures. However, I found that the Ninja took much more time to re-acclimatize between pies, meaning I wasn't able to batch-cook as effectively. If you want to host pizza parties or have family pizza nights, the Ooni will definitely cook your pizza faster and hit those target temperatures at a greater speed.

While both my neopolitan pizzas came out with a great rise on the crust and a crisp base, I found that the Ooni had far more of the signature leopard-spotting. If, like me, you can be a bit over-zealous with your toppings, you can also switch on a 'Boost' function to kick the top heating element into high gear, which is a setting you won't find with the Ninja.

When it comes to user experience, I appreciated that both ovens offer a viewing window to allow you to watch your pizza as it cooks. The Ooni's is larger and more brightly illuminated, but for the price, I think it's pretty good that Ninja included one at all. Its Woodfire series doesn't feature a viewing window, making this a much smarter option for budding pizzaiolos.

Ooni Volt vs Ninja Artisan: which pizza oven should you buy?

Buy the Ooni Volt 2 if:

You're passionate about pizza: Simply put, it's the better pizza oven. Its Pizza Intelligence feature gives it a lot more versatility than its three pre-sets suggest

You want to cook indoors: The ability to make perfect pies while sheltered from the element is pretty awesome, and it's ideal for those without the ideal outdoor space

You love an authentic neapolitan slice: With its higher top temperature, it'll churn out piping-hot thin-crust pizzas in minutes

Buy the Ninja Artisan if:

You're conscious of costs: For significantly less money, this is a pretty good alternative to the Ooni Volt 2

You'd prefer to cook outdoors: Ninja designed the Artisan to be an outdoor oven, meaning it's best suited to those with space to store and use it in the yard

You want to cook more than pizza: With an air fry basket included, there's no reason to stop at pizza with this oven

We get overexcited at Tom’s Guide whenever we learn Ninja has launched a new product, because we know you get just as excited, too. And we can share that Ninja has launched a new kitchen appliance that’s perfect for winter.

Enter the Ninja HyperHeat 6.5-qt Pressure Cooker, designed to cook your food super-quick. In fact, Ninja claims it’s twice as fast as a standard pressure cooker. But you will have to pay for the convenience — it’s currently $169 at Amazon.

Ninja has a reputation for high-performance appliances and is held in high regard by consumers, who trust the brand, but a pressure cooker is probably not the first product that comes to mind when you hear the name. You’re probably more likely to associate Ninja with the best air fryers and best blenders.

However, Ninja never fails to impress with whatever products it releases. But why would you choose this pressure cooker over any other one on the market? With 1200-watts of power, and HyperHeat Technology, your dinner will be served twice as quick.

What’s more, Ninja claim its faster than the Instant Pot Duo, which offers 1,000 watts. We’re keen to put it to the test to see if it delivers on its promise.

So, what do you get with Ninja’s latest versatile cooker? You get a decent 6.5-qt capacity, giving you plenty of space for a 4-lb chicken or to cook a stew for a crowd. Plus, with nine functions, it offers multi-functional capability. Choose from pressure, slow cook, rice, pasta, sear/sauté, yogurt, steam, Sous Vide, and keep warm.

In addition to speed, Ninja has considered cleanup and included a SimpleServe Pot that can be easily removed and washed, ready for your next cook-up.

What’s more, the cookpot won’t look out of place on your table, making it perfect to cook and serve, whichever of the three colorways you pick. My favorite is Blue Macaron, but you can also choose either Dark Gray or Stone Purple.

We've all heard about the viral Ninja Creami, right? For those who haven't, it's Ninja's beloved ice cream maker. People rave about it, and it has often sold out online with so many people wanting a taste of this appliance. We reviewed the Ninja Creami and loved it, having rated it 4 stars out of 5, mostly for the fact that it's so convenient and easy to clean. But it makes customizing ice cream flavors so simple.

Well, that's what we thought — it turns out that people are using this machine for making more than ice cream. One TikToker, in particular, has divided the internet with a video of them making hummus in their Ninja Creami. And we have so many thoughts.

Is it actually chickpea ice cream? Does it melt when it reaches room temperature? Does the missing tahini make a difference? Here's what we think — and what the 150+ commenters had to say about this bold move.

Chickpea ice cream or hummus?

You're going to want to scroll through the comments on this video, mostly for a laugh. It turns out that hummus made in the Ninja Creami is a divisive situation — some people love the idea, and think it's total genius. Others think it's crazy and nothing other than chickpea ice cream.

"That’s because the Ninja Creami is a glorified blender," writes one commenter. And while this is true to some extent, our review can vouch for the fact that creating anything other than basic vanilla ice cream in a blender or food processor tends to end up a "chalky or sandy" consistency.

"Why would you want ice cold hummus?" adds a commenter. And they speak the truth: no one wants ice-cold hummus. Refrigerated hummus is as cold as I'll personally go. Yes, you could leave it out at room temperature before serving, but then that begs the question: would it melt?

One viewer commented, "Yeah, and then it’s liquid at room temp and is ice cream consistency when cold". While others also asked the creator the same question — what is the hummus like when it's not ice cold?

So, is it worth the risk to find out for yourself?

Where's the tahini?

There's lots of disagreement about the missing ingredient in this frozen hummus recipe. And that's tahini. Arguably, this is normally the star of the show for any hummus recipe. "I'm from the Middle East and I don't approve of this "hummus" without tahini" claims one commenter.

The creator of this recipe insists, though, that it doesn't need the tahini — this is music to the ears of people who track their macros. Apparently, you can't even taste that this key ingredient is missing.

Others rave about it...

There are people in the comments section who saw this hack as genius. "I have a sesame allergy, so this is perfect!" writes one commenter.

And, as it turns out, while people won't do this with their own machine, they love seeing others take risks. "This is the kind of mad experimentation I love seeing people do with this machine," adds another comment.

Ninja's advice

In the Ninja Creami instruction manual, it says that you should never blend dry ingredients — hence the use of the chickpea water in this recipe. The manual clearly states, in bold writing "This is NOT a blender". It goes on to add that you should never process a solid block of ice, or ice cubes. The same goes for a smoothie or processing hard, loose ingredients. It says that fruit must be crushed ahead of processing.

In the video, creator @fitnessproductfinder does say that this recipe freezes exceptionally hard, so you might have to spin it a good few times. He also runs the frozen tub under the faucet for a few seconds, after removing it from the freezer, before placing it in the outer bowl.

In the video, the Scoop and Lite Ice Cream settings are both used. The Lite Ice Cream setting is designed for, according to the manual, "health-conscious consumers to make ice creams that are low in sugar or fat or use sugar substitutes. Choose when processing keto or paleo recipes". It's definitely the smartest setting to use in the case of this hummus recipe.

Weekday mornings are a struggle in my household. Not only do I have to get myself up and moving, but I have to gather enough energy to motivate my two kids out of bed to get ready for school. My morning routine is just about impossible without a nice, hot cup of coffee to energize me. But my previous coffee maker wasn’t programmable, so I had to stumble into the kitchen each morning and manually make a pot of coffee. Who has the time or energy for that at 6 a.m.?

Enter the Ninja Fresh Brew 14-cup programmable coffee maker. I was thrilled to get my hands on this machine, if only for the fact that I could set it up the night before so it would automatically begin brewing before my alarm went off. Plus, with a huge 70-ounce capacity, I could brew enough coffee for me and my husband to both have seconds.

I tested the Ninja Fresh Brew over two weeks and was pleasantly surprised by the rich flavor of the resulting coffee. I brewed full carafes, small batches, and everything in between to see how the Ninja measured up. By the end of my testing period, I honestly couldn’t imagine going back to a non-programmable machine. Read my Ninja Fresh Brew review to see why I’m a total Ninja convert and why I think it’s one of the best coffee makers for the price.

Ninja Fresh Brew Review: Price and Availability

The Ninja Fresh Brew 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker is available on Amazon in the U.S. for $119.99, and is not available in the U.K. at this time. You can also buy the coffee machine directly from Ninja’s website, as well as from big box stores like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.

Ninja Fresh Brew Review: Design

The Ninja Fresh Brew is sleek and stylish, featuring a stainless steel finish, a glass carafe, and a removable water reservoir. It matched nicely with the other appliances in my kitchen, and its medium size was the perfect fit on my countertop.

The machine comes with a reusable filter, but you can also use disposable filters if you prefer. I stuck with the reusable one, mainly because the paper filters I had wouldn’t fit in the basket. If you prefer paper filters, you’ll need to buy #4 cone-shaped filters rather than the typical basket filters.

The removable water reservoir is huge — 70 ounces — so you can easily make enough coffee for a large family or for you and your guests. But the Fresh Brew also has a Small Batch setting that lets you brew up to 4 cups without compromising on taste. No matter how much you brew, the glass carafe pours smoothly with no drips, minimizing mess. And the warming plate is adjustable, so you can keep your coffee hot for up to four hours across three temperature settings.

Ninja Fresh Brew Review: Performance

The Ninja Fresh Brew is easy to use and comes with a well-written instruction booklet to help you brew your first carafe with ease. The machine has several settings to familiarize yourself with — Classic, Rich, and Small Batch — and I tested out each one to see how they measured up.

Classic and Rich settings

Brewing a Classic or Rich pot of coffee is quick and easy. Simply fill the reservoir to your desired level (up to 14 cups or 70 ounces), scoop ground coffee into the filter using the Ninja Smart Scoop (Ninja recommends one scoop per two cups), select Classic or Rich, and hit the Brew button.

The Classic setting brews coffee with a smooth, well-balanced flavor, while the Rich setting has a more intense flavor. I preferred the Classic setting — it brewed a richer coffee than I was used to, so I decreased the amount of coffee grounds accordingly.

I measured a maximum noise level of 65 decibels and an average of 47 dB. This is comparable to the hum of a refrigerator or the buzz of a quiet office.

The variable warming plate is programmed to keep a partial carafe of coffee warm for 2 hours, though you can still taste the difference when drinking a cup brewed several hours ago. A fresh cup was full-bodied and flavorful, while a two-hour-old cup tasted a bit stale. My previous coffee machine had a stainless steel thermal carafe, which helped the coffee retain its freshness for longer, and the difference in taste after switching to a glass carafe machine with a warming plate was definitely noticeable.

You can adjust the warming plate's timing to keep a carafe warm for up to four hours, though I wouldn’t recommend it unless you enjoy the taste of stewed coffee.

Small Batch setting

The Small Batch setting is intended for brewing one to four cups. I used it several times when I needed a quick coffee fix but didn’t want to brew an entire pot. The setting is optimized for the best flavor in smaller drinks, and I thought the taste was comparable to the Classic setting for a larger pot.

A four-cup carafe took just over five minutes to brew using the Small Batch setting, which seemed a bit long.

Delay Brew setting

I hate getting out of bed in the morning, but knowing there’s a freshly brewed pot of coffee waiting for me makes the process less painful. I used the delay setting every weekday, setting it to 6 a.m. and waking up to the glorious smell of brewing coffee.

Setting the time for your brew is simple. First, you’ll need to set the current time by pressing the hour and minute buttons beneath the time display. Then, press the Delay Brew button. The time display will flash, and you’ll set the time for your desired brew the same way you did to set the current time. Your coffee will begin brewing at the set time, simplifying your morning routine.

Coming from the OXO Brew 8-Cup Coffee Maker, which doesn’t have a delay brew setting, this was one of my favorite features of the Ninja Fresh Brew. I do love my OXO, but I’ve always wished I could set it to brew coffee automatically each morning. This setting was an absolute game-changer for my mornings.

Ninja Fresh Brew Review: Storage and Maintenance

The Ninja Fresh Brew is about the same size as any drip coffee maker and fits nicely on my counter without taking up too much real estate. After each use, I washed out the carafe and reusable filter with hot, soapy water. Both the carafe and filter are also dishwasher-safe. The carafe’s lid comes off completely, and it’s easy to rinse without leftover bubbles lingering inside.

The machine also has a cleaning function that Ninja recommends running if a full carafe classic brew cycle takes more than 25 minutes or a rich brew cycle takes more than 30 minutes. To clean, simply add a descaling solution or 16 ounces of white vinegar to the reservoir and fill with water. Then, press the “clean” button. The cycle takes about 75 minutes, so don’t run it if you need to brew coffee anytime soon. Once the cycle has finished, run a classic brew cycle with water only to flush out any remaining cleaning solution from the machine.

How Does the Ninja Fresh Brew 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Compare?

The Ninja Fresh Brew has a much lower price than our top coffee maker, the Fellow Aiden, making it a better option if you’re on a budget. Although the Ninja’s glass carafe and warming plate don’t quite measure up to the Fellow Aiden’s double-walled thermal carafe, they do the job nicely. If you’re a coffee snob, you might prefer the flavor of the Aiden’s brew, but for the average coffee drinker (like me), the Ninja Fresh Brew is ideal.

Another top pick, the Breville Luxe Brewer, has a much sleeker design than the Ninja Fresh Brew, but that design comes with a hefty price tag. Both machines have removable water tanks for easy filling, though the Breville comes with a choice between a glass and metal carafe, while the Ninja only has a glass option. The Ninja also has a larger capacity than the Breville, so you can brew coffee for a larger group.

Should You Buy the Ninja Fresh Brew 14-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker?

At just shy of $120, the Ninja Fresh Brew is a solid option if you want a large coffee maker that can brew a decent cup of Joe. Its 14-cup capacity is ideal for large families, while the small batch option lets you make smaller amounts without sacrificing flavor. Although there are fancier machines out there that can brew barista-worthy coffee, you can’t beat the Ninja Fresh Brew at its price point. If you’re looking for a reliable machine that you can pre-program to brew a fresh carafe for you every morning, you can’t go wrong with the Ninja Fresh Brew.
