Peferct Gift for Coffee Lover's
Being a mother to two school age children and a newborn means my life revolves around coffee at this point! This was an early birthday present and I could not be more happier or satisfied. I had the keurig and it did its job but mine was a little loud and only did hot coffee. I was skeptical to ask for a coffee maker that was in this price range but I am so glad I did! so many options and the Over Ice option doesn't melt the ice which I was curious about. It does come with a few paper filters and the glass carafe. Not sure if some come with the travel mug by Ninja but mine didn't. Overall I absolutely love this machine and can't wait to create the endless coffee creations it allows.

Ninja Coffee Maker
The Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker is a little larger than your run of the mill coffee maker. So, if you don't have a lot of counter space this coffee maker may not be for you. It comes with a carafe for a full pot brew, or you can fold down the small side stand to use a smaller cup for a single cup brew. Also, if you're on the go a lot, put a travel mug/cup under the spout and press the button for that quantity. The dial mechanism lets you to choose from 6 settings on the quantity you would like. There are three buttons that designate the strength of the brew, allowing the coffee to be held in the grounds longer for a stronger brew. I f you want to set a timer so your coffee is ready when you wake up it is a very easy coffee maker to set up. I would recommend this product.

    Great strong coffee
    My Keurig broke and I finally decided to try the Ninja. I can make single cup or the carafe. The coffee is very HOT and STRONG, this is the main reason why I love this coffee maker. No pods (k-cups) which is a plus, saving money and the environment with less waste. The frothed is a bonus when making specialty coffee.

    This machine does it all!
    …And it does ‘all' spectacularly! Ninja's done it again with this coffee maker. They've created a one-man band that can brew a pot, half a pot, by the cup (pick your size), choose regular, rich, specialty (you won't know that it's not technically espresso), and the best cold brew I've ever made at home. The thought that's gone into features for users is incredible. No expensive pods clogging up a landfill! Use cone filters at about .02 a pop in the swing-out basket that has a switch for stopping the drip so you can sneak an early cup. Literally, you won't be pulling this machine in and out to lift a lid to access the filter basket. You'll find a double-sided measuring spoon stored on the left side, and they've lived up to the Ninja name with a flip-out milk frother that not only froths perfectly, but pops on and off for a quick rinse. The reservoir is marked for easy reference to how much you need to fill, and apparently their designers heard every one of us complaining about the awkwardness of a typical pod machine, giving the reservoir a sensible shape and (gasp!) a handle for lifting! Want to fill with a pitcher? Oh my, there's a flip-up lid. You can even buy a thermal carafe to keep your coffee hot without a heating element. Delay brew? Of course. All that's fantastic, but frankly I've never made coffee at home that tastes this good. All in all, my favorite coffee maker ever.

    Shop no more
    Love it! I had Keurig machines forever but hate the waste the pods create. This is easy. And I love to froth my milk. Not missing Starbucks these days. But the machine didn't come with a reusable filter. Had to order from Ninja.

    The most awesome coffee maker station!
    I love EVERYTHING about this coffee making station! I use it multiple times a day. I love the large water reservoir, and that you can make the coffee straight into your cup (or travel mug)! The only thing that I wish was easier was finding the permanent coffee filter basket, it uses the #4 cone shape and it wasn't easy to locate at the time of this review. Every feature was well-thought-out and designed. Definitely worth the money!

    Fun and functional
    This machine seemed really intimidating at first, especially while unboxing. Note that you want to be careful when taking everything out of the box because there are some individually wrapped pieces. I almost threw away the frother by mistake. This machine is really fun to use and the manual is super helpful, but it may take a moment for you to find your groove/preferences for that perfect cup of coffee or specialty drink. As an initial side note — this machine is large, so it will take up a good chunk of your counter, especially when the frother is pulled out from the side (it folds in, so it’s not always sticking out from the machine). Firstly, as coffee machines go, the main functionality is standard. You put water in the receptacle, which you can either fill to the max line or fill to the dash mark that aligns with how much coffee you’re going to make (e.g. cup, half a pot, etc.). You use a #4 cone coffee filter (which there a few included, but you can purchase at most stores), and use the included scoop to determine your desired amount of coffee grounds. The Ninja manual offers a suggested scoop amount based on serving size; however, I don’t like strong coffee, so I figured mine out based on my own taste preferences and type of coffee used. The machine does have a warming feature, so you can keep the carafe warm for up to 4 hours. In terms of the specialty elements, you have hot or iced options. If you want to make an iced coffee, you fill the cup completely with ice, and then brew the coffee directly into the cup (which there is a pull-down cup stand for individual brew options). For a hot latte or cappuccino, you’ll enlist the frother. The instructions say to froth milk for 30-45 seconds, but I actually had to do it for a minute and a half to two minutes to get a good foam. Don’t try to steep the milk while frothing, just let the frother rest under the surface of the milk. For me, what worked best, was to froth the milk directly in the coffee cup (about a third to halfway full) and then pour the coffee over the milk and add any additional cream, sugar, or flavoring. This is a high-speed machine, but it’s very quiet after the initial startup of the coffee brew; the frothing feature is also quiet. I like that there’s so many fold-out options. It’s an all-in-one machine, but you can tell Ninja did its best to make it user-friendly and to make it as streamline as possible.

    Was skeptical, but lives up to the hype!
    I heard about the Ninja ever since it came out, but was skeptical about its functionality and the hype surrounding it. I'm here to break down what this coffee maker can do and why it's as good as drinks you buy at Starbucks or Coffeebeans, if not better – as well as what it lacks. As far as coffee machines go, this is legit. This is a versatile coffee machine, at about the same size as a Keurig. It's hard not to compare this to a Keurig… Surface area-wise, it's the same size. The Ninja is just taller. It has a frothing extension that pulls out on the side (oh, so very convenient and neat, by the way), but it folds back up to the side of the machine, just tucked out of sight. This doesn't use any pods, so for those who are all about convenience, you won't be able to just pop a coffee pod in and press a button. HOWEVER, it's not any more inconvenient nor any more work to add coffee grinds, and that's where it really gets interesting. Coffee grinds are much more affordable than coffee pods, and they can range in taste based on the kind of beans you buy and if you ground it fresh. Regardless, the interesting part about this Ninja is where it really differs in convenience-based coffee, such as the Keurig; it is its coffee-making process. It does a whole brew-stop-brew-stop process that not only brings out the flavor of the coffee, but for some reason, no coffee pods I've ever tasted has come close to what this Ninja can brew. I'm no coffee expert, but I do know good coffee when I drink one. And I drink mine black! There's a whole world of coffee-brewing science, from the perfect temperature, to the perfect force, to the perfect way. It's really amazing, especially for people who have refined palates. It's no matter if you don't; any seasoned coffee drinkers know the difference between good coffee and meh so-so ones. That's why places like Dutch Bros get long lines… just saying. The multi-functionality of this is about the same as many good coffee machines. It has the frother that snaps back and forth with great ease and is machine-washable, it has the brew-delay where you can set a time to brew coffee for you for your mornings, it has different sizes to brew (cup, travel mug, carafe, half a carafe, etc), and 4 different ways of blending. I'm not saying that these features aren't worthy of reviewing, but nowadays, any high-tech high-priced coffee machines will have many of these convenient features. The one thing that really sets this Ninja apart from the rest is the brewing process. It's as much of an art as it is a science, and the Ninja has got this down pretty well with the 3 different programs (Classic, Rich, and Over Ice), plus a specialty blend. The specialty blend is perfect for those who like drip coffee as well. That's a slow brewing process that is getting extremely popular because of the aroma and flavor it can bring out in coffee, especially with really good coffee beans. It is absolutely not just for making strong coffee. Drip coffee (or the Specialty Blend on this machine) achieves that process by slowing dripping. It's so good, and one of my favorite features on this Ninja. Everything is so well-built as well. It's so sleek, so high quality. All the moveable/removeable parts just pops in and out of its place with such ease and gives this nice click or nice snap into place – it's so satisfying. I love it. So easy to use. It's not as difficult as it looks. 1. Plug it in, 2. Fill up the reservoir, 3. Put in the filter (reusable and paper both purchasable), 4. Add coffee grinds with the included coffee measuring spoon conveniently attached to the side of the ninja, 5. Place either a carafe or cup/mug in there, 6. Turn on the power, 7. Choose size, classic (or any of the 3 brew types). DONE. That's how simple it is. Here is what it possibly cannot do – latte art. I know that with latte art, you need to insert air into the frothed milk. With this frother, I'm not sure if it's the same process as inserting air. This is something I haven't tried, because I've never done latte art anyways. But I'm going to try it one of these days. The frother does leave a mess behind, and I think the company should come up with something to at least catch the milk froth drips. As far as coffee machines go, this is an excellent choice for the price. You get quality coffee that easily and quickly pays for itself in no time, and depending on the coffeebeans that you buy, it can easily compare to something that places like Dutch Bros can make (and thereby saving you lots of money by making it yourself at home).
