Capable of making quality espresso or anything from a mug to a jug-full of filter coffee, this is a nice space saver. Milk frothing is a little basic, and I\u2019d ideally like an integrated grinder, but these minor niggles aside, this is a great coffee machine.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block block-two-column-boxes pros-cons\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"col-header\">\n<h2>\n                    <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-up\"><\/i><br \/>\n                    Pros                <\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n                        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><br \/>\n                        Filter and espresso in one machine                    <\/li>\n<li>\n                        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><br \/>\n                        Makes nice coffee in both styles                    <\/li>\n<li>\n                        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><br \/>\n                        Most parts are dishwasher safe                    <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"col-header\">\n<h2>\n                    <i class=\"fa-regular fa-thumbs-down\"><\/i><br \/>\n                    Cons                <\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n                        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><br \/>\n                        Milk frother doesn&#8217;t heat                    <\/li>\n<li>\n                        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-chevron-right\"><\/i><br \/>\n                        No grinder                    <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block block-squirrel\">\n<div class=\"squirrel_div\" data-make=\"__EAN__\" data-model=\"622356353984\" data-loaded=\"false\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"block phoenix-key-features-block__container\">\n<h2 class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__title\" id=\"key-features\">Key Features<\/h2>\n<div class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__content\">\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__key-feature__container\">\n                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__icon phoenix-icon tr__coffeemaker_colour\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__heading\"><br \/>\n                                Filter and espresso                            <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__content\"><br \/>\n                                Makes up to a jug of filter coffee or espresso via a Nespresso pod.                            <\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__key-feature__container\">\n                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__icon phoenix-icon tr__temperature_colour\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__heading\"><br \/>\n                                Keep warm                            <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                    <span class=\"phoenix-key-features-block__content\"><br \/>\n                                Hot plate keeps the coffee machine warm for up to 40 minutes.                            <\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-introduction\">Introduction<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A pod coffee machine gives you fast espresso when you want it and access to many different flavours, while a filter coffee machine offers volume and is ideal for gentler coffees and dinner parties. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than having two machines to deliver these very different styles, the Ninja Prestige Dualbrew System CFN802UK is both a filter coffee machine and a Nespresso original-compatible espresso machine.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to use, for the most part, and saves on counter space if you want both styles of coffee.

On the right-hand side is the Nespresso option, which takes pods via the flip-up flap. This machine is compatible with Nespresso original pods, both sold by Nespresso and third parties.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/12\/Ninja-Prestige-Dualbrew-System-CFN802UK-Nespresso-pod-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ninja Prestige Dualbrew System CFN802UK Nespresso pod\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4634508\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Once the pod is in place, the controls underneath let me select which size drink: Ristretto, Espresso or Lungo.

This is effectively a whisk and it does not heat milk. For hot milk, Ninja recommends using a microwave first, and then froth second. Just be careful using a microwave to heat milk in a mug: some mugs have metal in the ceramic, which means they get super-hot when heated, so use a microwave-friendly mug only.<\/p>\n<p>Turn to the left-hand side and there\u2019s the filter machine. There\u2019s no grinder on this coffee machine, as you get with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/melitta-aromafresh-ii-therm-pro\">Melitta AromaFresh II Thermo Pro<\/a>, and the Ninja Prestige Dualbrew works with ground coffee only.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a bit more of a faff, although I do get why there\u2019s no grinder: adding one would increase the cost and size of the machine.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Ninja has a coffee scoop that clips into the side of the machine, with big and small scoops. Follow the manual to get an idea of how many scoops you want, and then adjust to suit based on your taste.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/12\/Ninja-Prestige-Dualbrew-System-CFN802UK-coffee-scoop-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ninja Prestige Dualbrew System CFN802UK coffee scoop\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4634495\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Coffee grounds drop into the top, which should be lined with a paper filter.

To test, I heated milk in the microwave, using the timings and volumes suggested by the Ninja Prestige Dualbrew\u2019s manual. I then frothed as well as I could, before pouring the milk from the mug into a jug.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/a3-lazy-load\/assets\/images\/lazy_placeholder.gif\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/12\/Ninja-Prestige-Dualbrew-System-CFN802UK-frothing-milk-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ninja Prestige Dualbrew System CFN802UK frothing milk\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4634501\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I then free-poured the milk into my prepared espresso coffee.
