SharkNinja, Inc. has introduced the Ninja AutoBarista, the brand’s first fully automatic espresso machine that brews true espresso, drip coffee, cold brew and microfoam.
The Ninja AutoBarista uses the brand’s Grind iQ Technology that continuously monitors and adapts each brew in real time. The system adjusts grind size, doses by weight, optimizes brewing pressure and compensates for aging beans to help ensure balanced extraction and consistent flavor, SharkNinja said. The machine has 13 drink presets available, including hot and iced lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, americanos, drip coffee and cold brew.
The AutoBarista also uses the company’s FrothPerfect technology to deliver microfoam hands-free — from steamed milk to cold foam for dairy and plant-based options from four preset programs.
The Brew Two function can pull two double espresso shots at once; two interchangeable hoppers let you toggle between roasts without cleanup; and two personal profiles store each user’s preferred strength, size, temperature, and froth.
“Great coffee has always come with a tradeoff – quality or convenience,” said Kait Hebert, global chief marketing officer at Ninja. “Ninja AutoBarista changes that. It brings real café-quality espresso and microfoam into your daily routine, with the precision of a barista built into every cup.”
The Ninja AutoBarista is available now from $899.99 to $999.99 at SharkNinja.com
