I was definitely over the k-cup novelty and expenses but wanted the convenience of a one-cup brewer with the versatility of carafe option for weekend guests. Ninja nailed it. I'm using less coffee to make a robust cup-o-joe and I'm digging the toss-the-filter clean-up. Easy to clean, easy to use, great cup of coffee... and no bacteria-laden stagnant water, water reservoir that I can't get to with this gem. You won't have buyer's remorse with this unit. Pull the trigger!

Best coffee pot ever! I was skeptical at first with the celebrity TV commercials advertising but decided to take a chance when Sam's Club was selling it for $139.98. Boy, am I'm glad I did! I replaced my Keurig Coffee machine with it ant the brew is much better now.

I have been using this coffee maker now for about a week. I was glad to see that the product was packaged very well. There wasn't anything that really could have been broken the way it was packed in the box. Once we took it out of the box, there was really no setup required, just pulling off a few stickers. The best thing about this product is the recipe book that came with it. I made my wife a "flat white" coffee the first time using the milk frother and it was great she told me. We grind the coffee beans up just before brewing it so the flavor is great! The different settings allow for easy use depending on what kind of coffee you are wanting to make. I would definitely recommend this product to the novice coffee maker or the at-home barista!

Great coffee maker! Love how it automatically knows what size brew and I love how we can make all of our own fun coffee drinks in our own home with little effort. Have had it for a little over a month and has worked beautifully.

I bought this coffee bar about 3 weeks ago I liked it so much that I sent one to my daughter for Christmas.

Awesome little coffee maker. It was packed well and arrived in great shape. The unit was easy to unpack and get setup. Remember to run some water through it to get it cleaned and ready for use. I'm switching from keurig and used the reusable kcup to measure my coffee and wow was it strong. I'm using less coffee now to make the same cup as before, love that. My wife and daughter enjoy the other features and have had some fun making various versions on their favorite drinks. Also like how easy it is to make a cup during the week when I'm running off to work and a full pot on the weekend when we're all at home. I will say at some point you will fail but keep trying and sooner or later you'll get your favorite recipe figured out. You'll have the taste you want at far less cost than your local coffee shop. Great coffee, stop waiting and buy it.

This system is very easy to set up, and has endless possibilities. I like the fact that you don't have to use a K-Cup since it comes with a reusable filter, which is very economical and environmentally friendly. The machine comes with easy to read instructions and walks you through the proper set up and cleaning process. We used the frother, which works great, and makes a very rich, creamy cup of coffee. The only thing I was concerned with on this is that it doesn't seem to make a small cup of coffee. Even the smallest setting fills up my travel mug 3/4 of the way. If you choose this setting with a regular coffee mug, you have to watch it closely so it doesn't overflow. However, this was probably just a glitch on my machine. Overall, I have really enjoyed the system. It's a great value. I love the fact that it can make one cup, a 1/2 carafe, of a whole carafe of coffee. It just gives you many options. I'd recommend for sure to anyone wanting a great coffee maker that can handle regular or specialty cups of coffee.

Bought this approximately 2 weeks ago, and clean light has indicated it has to be cleaned again. Also when making a single cup of coffee the temperature is not hot.

I'd had this maybe a month when the very top rim of the water holder. It's only gotten worse. The silver material next to the plastic just corroded away right away and it already looks terrible. Serious design flaw. Everything else about the machine is perfect.

I did my homework online for over a month before I bought this. But, thanks to retailers hiding the negative product reviews, to where you have to dig for them, I did not see all the warnings about the bitter tasting coffee. I couldnt wait to get it home to clean it and use it. I followed the instructions concerning cleaning before using, and then set in to making coffee. It was some of the WORST coffee I have ever tasted! I do NOT like bitter coffee, and that was all this machine would make. I tried 6 different brands/blends of beans/grind, and countless different amounts of grounds with different settings, and even different coffee filters (natural and bleached) in an attempt to make coffee that didnt taste bitter. Nothing worked. I dumped out more coffee in the 2 weeks that I had this pot, than I have in my entire life. I REALLY wanted this coffee maker to work, as I absolutely loved everything else about the machine! But it simply makes BITTER coffee. Even cutting back on the grounds, simply made the coffee taste like bitter, coffee flavored weal water. Adding more grounds made the coffe string and bitter. Ninja even advertises how their makers "extract" more flavor from the coffee. It extracts so much, it makes the coffee bitter. Dont take my word for it, search online for "Ninja bitter coffee" and see what you find. Even well known sites like CNET reviewed the Ninja Coffee Bar and said the coffee was bitter. I even told a friend I could tell the bitter coffee from other coffee, blindfolded. She made 2 pots of coffee, one pot in the Ninja, and one in my old coffee maker. She used the exact same amount of grounds out of the exact same bag of coffee, with the exact same filters from the exact same package, with the exact same amount of tap water (from the same softened well water Ive used for decades) and in a blind test, I knew immediately which coffee was the bitter Ninja Coffee Bar coffee. I had 3 other people try the coffee, and all 3 said it was bitter. Its a shame the coffee is terrible, as the rest of the machine is awesome. There is no other machine that offers all the options and features that this machine does. BUT, all of that means nothing, when the coffee tastes like swill.
