[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted one for years and it does not disappoint. There is a learning curve that takes about a week to be comfortable. The learning curve on this machine is knowing the ounces of the cups you are using. The quick start guide is handy to have nearby while you are learning. Here is the good and bad. The bad: This is not an under counter unit as steam is released from the top. I pull mine out to use it. There is no way to fully remove the carafe cover to easily dry the carafe if you care about water spots. The beep telling you its done is false. You need to let it drip more or you will have water in your filter when you empty it. You will need to not only run a few primer cycles before using, but I recommend a vinegar cleaning cycle as well. (see instructions) I tasted just the water and it took many cycles to not have a new hose taste. I also used it for hot water for tea. Now for the good. There is nothing cheap about this. Well designed. The frothing unit pushes back and out of the way when not in use. Easy to remove and put back for cleaning. The measuring scoop has storage on the side of the unit and is flush so you won't see it. The drip stop really works well and has a warning beep if you try to make coffee with it still on. Using it as a habit took a couple days. The water tank is easy to lift and fill with a good grip and solid slide into place. Measurements on the side are easy to read if you only want to fill it for current use. Whoever designed this hated messes and cheap fitting equipment Making the coffee really is as easy as turning the knob, and selecting your brew. This is where knowing ounces of your kitchen cups is handy. I made every brew, (including delicious iced) and each one was as simple as turning a knob and selecting the brew. The fold down cup holder is silicone covered for no chance of accidents security. The recipe book is real life and not fancy and complicated. Every recipe is simple, and delicious. If you like adding sugar /sweetener add it to the froth so you don't ruin the beautiful layers. Yes, you can froth non dairy flavored creamer! So many more details, so little room. When you have wanted something for years, your expectations are high. This did not disappoint. Simply allow a week for learning curve because the options are many and you will want to use them all. Now you really can have coffee house coffee at home. Everything it claims it can do, it does without being a bother. It's a pleasure to use and produces great coffee.

All 5 star reviewers got it for free!!! I loved mine until it stopped working. The internet is crawling with Ninja's that just stopped working properly after a period of time. Mine was 6 months. Company is fine replacing but you have to pay for shipping.

I've had this coffee maker for about a year now and it works great. It has many different settings and ways you can make coffee. You can make single cups or a whole pot with this coffee maker. I have found that it can be a bit difficult to clean. The filter where you put the ground coffee is also a bit difficult to clean. I had to actually throw mine out and use mini coffee filters from Walmart because my filter kept getting mold in it even after washing and drying it properly.

I only made one pot and a latte and both are amazing! I have had a keurig for many years and I don't think I'm going back, kinda early to make that statement but the coffee is rich, hot and pretty quick and plus all the specialty drinks it can do its an awesome machine so far

I bought a ninja coffee maker and I had no luck since it arrived it never worked perfectly but I kept using it but it has reached a stage where I can't pass a cup of coffee if I don't press the water button 10 times and it is very expensive I'm unable to buy a new one and I like it very much I even pointed it out to my friend and hers works perfect and mine doesn't want to know if they can do something to help me?

What we needed was a coffee maker to make a pot in the morning on a timer then turn itself off and single cups in the afternoon. This one machine takes the place of two. Having frothy milk adds some fun and the whisk is easy to clean. Love being able to choose brew strength. We use paper filters just for the extra convenience. Love the water reservoir and not having to fill it for each use. Oh, and yes, makes a good tasting cup of coffee. Rather than expensive k-cups we purchase better quality grounds.

The coffee pot will only increase your stress level. First you'll be lured in by the features. Then slowly you'll become frustrated by the cleaning light coming on after only brewing a couple of cups. Then I'll come on after every cup. When you finally decide to ignore it, it'll only brew a small amount of coffee no mater what size you select. And finally it just won't brew at all. This coffee pot is the biggest waste of time and money ever. Just don't fall for it. You'll never enjoy a cup of coffee again.

We had this coffee maker about a year and a half before the dreaded beeping started. It will dispense about an ounce and then the 5 beeps start. I've always cleaned it when the light came on and have done it several times since the beeping started. It saddens me because they are not cheap and it could be an amazing coffee bar but I don't want to waste more money trying another, especially after reading the hundreds of the same comments. As with most others I've done the tips and YouTube fixes but they don't last.

My ninja coffee bar has been the single worst purchase I've made in my kitchen. I've had it for over a year and I have never had the thing work properly for more than 3 consecutive days before I have to employ some ridiculous fix (up to and including taking the machine apart). If you search online you'll find that my problems are exceedingly common (brews an ounce or so and shuts itself off). I can't possibly recommend buying this machine unless you are looking to start your day with nothing but aggravation and buyers remorse.

I bought this for my husband who was spending too much at the coffee shop and we couldn't be happier. While we haven't used every function on it yet, his favorite part is the built in frothing tool. I like how versatile it is. We tried following the recommendation on the coffee scoop but I warn, it's entirely too strong!
