The Ninja Luxe Café is designed for relatively easy cleaning and maintenance: Daily cleaning involves rinsing the portafilter and wiping down the milk frother wand. The machine has an automated cleaning cycle that takes about 6 minutes and should be run weekly. A descaling process is required periodically, which takes about 90 minutes. Many parts, including the funnel, baskets, and drip tray, are dishwasher safe. However, the fixed brew group limits manual deep cleaning options.
