Versatile coffee maker

Just bought this and only had it for a couple of weeks, but already it outshines My prior coffee makers. I love the fact that I can't brew Is it from the ground coffee or pods? I've done both and it works very well thought it.

Nice concept

Lid pops open when brewing, not finishing making a cup. You have to hold down the lid in order for it to make a cup. Inconvenient when you're in a hurry and need to do other things at the same time. Ended up returning after 4 months.

Couldn't get any simpler

We prefer a single cup brew machine verses making a half or full pot so that we don't waste coffee. This machine is all we need, It brews a perfect cup to suit your taste by finding your perfect coffee to water ratio.

Iced coffee perfection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Making iced coffee at home always felt like a compromise until I tried the Over Ice brew setting. The coffee comes out perfectly concentrated, ensuring my drink is flavorful even as the ice melts.

Amazing Coffee Machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine has replaced 2 separate machines that I have. It is very easy to use and the size of the machine helps because it does not take up as much counter space as bulkier units. It runs very quietly and is also very easy to clean! Highly recommend

Not what i thought it was

I was soooo excited to buy this coffee maker. I was tired of my Kureg and wanted to get a new unit. I saw this and thought it was going to be awesome because there is a milk frothier and you can make specialty brews like cappuccinos. Well I only make one cup of coffee because its just me but this unit doesn't allow you to use reusable pods, you have to buy the single use pods. I don't like all that plastic waste. It works nice, I used the coffee basket where you put more coffee in but like I said, I won't be making that much cups. Looks like I will be returning it. Hey Ninja, next time make one that can use reusable pods!

Meh…I wanted to like it, but I don't

Purchased to replace my older Ninja Coffee Bar that started leaking. Wish I had listened to my instincts and kept looking when I saw almost all of the 5 star reviews were from people who received free product. Machine is noisy. Coffee is not as hot and doesn't taste the same as my old Coffee Bar machine. Continually have grounds in my coffee, even after trying multiple grinds. Have not used pods/pod adapter. Permanent filter is a pain to clean-can't just dump into garbage because grounds stick and it needs to be washed every time, sending grounds down the drain, which probably isn't good for my septic system. Machine height necessitates pulling it out from under counter to add/remove grounds-not a deal breaker, but all things considered, very disappointed in this machine. I like the various brew options-got hooked on those with the Coffee Bar, but that isn't enough to redeem this machine. It will be my interim machine until I find something comparable with better quality.

Great coffee maker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Ninja PB051 Coffee Maker, and I am pretty impressed with how well it holds up in my kitchen and coffee routine. It's a pretty awesome machine that is surprisingly compact and easy to use, making it a perfect addition to pretty much any coffee lover's apartment / house. One of the first things I want to talk about when it comes to the coffee maker is how well built the machine is. It's a sleek and modern design and blends right in on my counter. The black and silver color scheme it has going on makes it look like a high end coffee rig. The machine is also incredibly easy (and quite fun!) to use. Just fill it up with water in the back and use the top panel to choose what you want. What puts this coffee maker on a whole nother level is its ability to create specialty coffee foams and drinks. The built-in frother is genuinely awesome, and makes for a fantastic addition to the coffee maker. It makes creating cold foam or other types of frothy toppings easy, and gives you something to spice up your drinks with. I think pretty much the only thing that doesn't settle well with me is how loud it can get when brewing and making drinks. I found that it's a bit on the louder side compared to other coffee makers that I have, and depending on when or where you're making your coffee, this can be a big deal. Overall, I am really satisfied with my Ninja coffee maker. It's really easy to use, versatile in all the right ways, and makes it easy to make delicious coffee drinks. If you're looking in the market for a premiere coffee maker, this is definitely a great choice.

Ninja Single Serve Coffee Maker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee maker, it's so easy to use and it takes up such a small amount of space on my countertop. It makes great coffee, I have made coffee from grinds and k-cups and both came out perfect. I am very impressed and have been recommending it to my friends.

Mixed review

Mixed review. When doing the initial priming clean which uses the grounds basket I was very surprised at how noisy it was but wrote that off as new system and needing to get water through. After priming I inserted pod attachment and made a 12 oz cup of coffee. It ran quiet until the very last spurt, and that sound wasn't alarming. Coffee tasted great and was quite hot which I liked. So I ran a second batch of water through, 14 oz, using the grounds basket and no grounds in the basket. Lots of noise and grumbling sounds with steam coming out around the control lid. I am going to return this to the store. I had planned on using this frequently for custom blend coffee and large travel mugs but the noise is not acceptable for me. If I was only interested in using it for k cups then it would be a keeper. Since I'm not keeping it I haven't tried the frother.
