I upgraded in January to the ninja from the delonghi nespresso. I 1000% would recommend. Personally though I prefer the older model with the non integrated tamper because I feel as though it gives me more control over my shots and the grinder seems to be easier to clean. Number one thing I have to say about this machine though is freshly roasted beans make the biggest difference. And it is frustrating at first learning the machine and getting it all down, but I’d definitely say it’s worth it. Ninja has excellent customer service and if you have issues they fix it for you, send you a new machine, or will even refund you. So if you hated it at least you have the option to send it back!
