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.

I bought this two months ago and very pleased with the features and makes excellent coffee. However, the problems is the temperature is never consistent, and does not always keep coffee hot. Apparently something wrong with the hot plate? Will probably return for another.

I bought the Ninja Coffee Bar online which is advertised as model CF090A. Model CF090A comes with a double walled plastic carafe for iced coffee. I received CF091A which does not come with the Iced Carafe. I promptly exchanged the ninja coffee bar in store for the CF090A. It Comes with a 20 recipe book, a scoop that tells you how much coffee grounds you need for each size, a reusable brass filter than will not corrode, a removable 50oz water tank, a 50oz Glass carafe for hot coffee, and a 50oz insulated plastic carafe for Iced Coffee. You can throw ice into the glass carafe and brew but it may crack by going from cold temps to hot. All Ninja coffee bars can brew 4 strengths of coffee, Classic, Rich, Over Ice, and Specialty/Café Forte. Classic is your standard coffee. Rich will be slightly darker. Over Ice will be even darker to compensate for the ice melting. Specialty is 4oz espresso-like and Café Forte is 8oz espresso-like. Darker blends are made by the brew basket having a plunger. For Darker brews the plunger in the basket will cause the coffee to backup and brew longer in the coffee grounds. The coffee can brew several sizes, Cup (12oz), XL Cup (15oz), Tumbler (19oz), Multi-Serve (24oz), Half Carafe (25oz), Full Carafe (50oz). All models have the same basic features but some have the clock, delay brew, and keep warm buttons on the bottom with a chrome trim. CF090A has those features on the bottom. Here are the extras that each model has: CF090 - Nothing extra and has a 10 recipe book instead of 20 CF090A - Ninja 10 - Cup Over Ice Carafe CF090CO - Ninja 100 Recipe Book CF091 - Nothing extra CF092/CF092W - Ninja XL Hot & Cold Tumbler

We had the old ninja coffee bar. That is still a good machine. But this hands down takes the cake. It took every problem the other one had and they completely fixed them. The built in frother is powerful and very easy to work. You can set a timer for any size cup you want in the morning. The model has a self cleaning option which is great. The design is much more pleasing to the eye. The coffee tray is more sturdy and doesn't tend to come off track as the previous model. Buy this machine you regret it!

works like it should except leaves a lot of water in tank when it is done brewing .

I just love the versatility of this coffee maker. I boxed up my Kuerig and put it in storage. So far no problems.

This coffee maker makes great coffee whether it is a single cup or iced coffee or lattes of a full or half pot! Really great coffee!

When I ran the "trial run", the unit shut off half way through and wouldn't start again. I returned it.

So happy I bought the ninja coffee bar. It's everything the description says it is. Still experimenting with it

Broke after 18 mos. Electrical failure. only a 1 yr warranty. Paid too much money for it to fail that quickly
