FULL STORY ======================================================================

If you're shopping for a coffee maker in this year's Black Friday sales, the Ninja Luxe Caf is likely to catch your eye. It's one of the best coffee
makers we've tested here at TechRadar, but with several versions available at different prices, which one should you choose?

The two main versions you'll see in the Black Friday sales are the Ninja Luxe Caf Premier and the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro. Both have received steep price cuts (and you'll find all the best offers below), but why does one cost more than the other, and is it worth paying more? Read on for the full low-down on both machines, but today's best Black Friday deals . Ninja Luxe Caf Premier vs Ninja Luxe Caf Pro: price

The Ninja Luxe Caf Pro is more expensive than the Ninja Luxe Caf Premier. The Premier has a list price of $549.99 / 549.99 (about AU$850), while the Pro is listed at $699.99 / 699.99 (about AU$1,100). However, there are steep price cuts on both machines for Black Friday, details of which you'll find below.

Note that although Ninja does operate in Australia, neither of the Luxe Caf coffee machines is available to buy there at the time of writing. US deals

Amazon has the best deal on the Luxe Caf Premier in the US, with over $100
off the list price. The same machine is $499 when bought direct from Ninja , but comes with a knock box for used coffee grounds and two insulated bottles, so it's up to you whether you'd prefer Amazon's price cut or Ninja's
freebies. View Deal

The Luxe Caf Pro is a whole five cents cheaper at Amazon than if you buy it direct from Ninja in the US. Either way, it's the cheapest this premium
coffee maker has ever been. Ninja also sells a festive green and gold version , but only the stainless steel edition is included in the Black Friday sale. View Deal UK deals

Over in the UK, the Ninja Luxe Caf Premier is cheaper in blue (called Cyberspace) than any other color for Black Friday. It's selling for full
price at Amazon at the time of writing, but you'll get a generous 100
discount when you buy it direct from Ninja's online store. View Deal

If you're in the UK, the premium coffee maker is cheapest when you buy it directly from Ninja, with an epic 150 price cut. You'll get free two-day delivery seven days a week as well, which is very convenient. View Deal Ninja Luxe Caf Premier vs Ninja Luxe Caf Pro: specs

Yes The original Ninja Luxe Caf has proved extremely popular since its launch last year, but is it the right coffee maker for you? (Image credit: Future) Ninja Luxe Caf Premier vs Ninja Luxe Caf Pro: design

The most obvious difference between these two coffee makers is the large handle on the side of the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro, which is absent from the Luxe Caf Premier.

The Pro edition is also slightly larger and heavier than the Premier, but the difference is minimal. The Ninja Luxe Caf Pro is about half an inch taller
and deeper, and a quarter of an inch wider. It's also 8oz heavier, which
isn't enough to make a practical difference. If you choose the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro, just make sure there's enough space to the left of the machine for you
to reach the tamping lever. If you choose the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro, make sure you have enough free space on the left to use the tamping handle (Image credit: SharkNinja) Ninja Luxe Caf Premier vs Ninja Luxe Caf Pro: features

When it comes to features, the biggest difference between these two coffee makers is that the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro has a lever-operated tamping system
that compresses your ground coffee evenly without the risk of spilling
freshly ground coffee.

The Ninja Luxe Caf Pro also offers more drink presets than the original version of the coffee maker. The Ninja Luxe Caf Premier offers four espresso styles, four coffee styles, seven drink sizes, and four milk froth presets, whereas the Ninja Luxe Caf Pro gives you 13 espresso styles, four coffee styles, seven drink sizes, and five froth presets.

The number of drink presets probably won't be enough to sway your decision
one way or the other, but it's interesting to note that the upgraded tamper isn't the only difference. The Ninja Luxe Caf Pro is only marginally larger and heavier than the original machine (Image credit: Future)

Otherwise, both machines have a smart dosing system with a scale to help you grind the right amount of coffee into the filter basket, assistance with choosing the best grind size, and an automatic milk texturizing system (which can also be used manually).

You can also use both machines to brew filter coffee and to make refreshing cold brew (which is much faster than infusing in the fridge overnight).
