[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the sleek and modern design of my new Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe System CF090. The fact that it’s so easy to operate is a huge plus to me. I have used it to make hot coffee, iced coffee and some of the yummy treats that come with Coffeehouse Style Recipe booklet. I especially like the single cup function because I never want to brew ‘a pot’ after dinner. I am very impressed with the warmer plate which works very well and the frother, which I’ve never had before. The unit makes delicious coffee and I like that I can brew in whichever strength I prefer, selecting the type I like from ‘classic,’ ‘rich’ or ‘over ice.’ This machine is beautifully designed and the touch buttons are intuitive. The water reservoir easy to remove and easy to clean. You can brew directly into your favorite mug or travel cup. I am extremely happy with this unit. If I had to make a suggestion to improve the Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe System CF090, it would be to offer a larger size glass carafe (this one holds just over 10 oz.), an option for more than a 2-hour shutoff and a filter system, which is especially important to me as we live in an area with very hard water. This is an excellent coffee system and I am very happy to recommend it highly!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love coffee...and we have tried just about any type of coffee maker. Some were too big, too small, too complex or just did not deliver a hot enough cup. The Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe System is neither too big (see pic comparing size with icoffee, just a bit wider and taller) nor too complex since it has easy to use feature selection knob and buttons with clear labeling. The main features are: - Sizes are preset, just turn knob from single cup to full carafe and several sizes in-between - Holder for grounds is easy to clean and swivels out and locks in place very easily, no fumbling in the basket because of the big handle on side (see pic) - Hot and flavorful coffee - Carafe is easy to pour - Warming plate time is adjustable and it senses when a carafe is placed on it and then comes on automatically, which is pretty neat - Includes milk frother and measuring spoon attached to side - Easy fill and remove water reservoir that is clearly marked - When placed on counter in middle of room, carafe is accessible from both sides - Makes regular coffee or a stronger brew Husband and I like the clean lines of the coffee bar, and it makes a good cup of coffee. So why only four stars? - The touted single cup filter was not included, but I bought it separately on ebay. In the meantime I brewed a large single cup using a regular filter and there was some splashing. - Takes a bit longer to go from cold to hot than our dedicated single cup machine and the fold-out holder for the small single cup has a bit of a flimsy feel to it. - I am getting older and the markings could be a bit bigger for my aging eyes - Longer single cup prepping time: It might not be fair to compare a dedicated single cup machine to the Ninja Coffee Bar, but my one major gripe is that my husband makes his full pot (which he likes) and then I come with my single cup and a different type of coffee and that means taking off the carafe, cleaning out the filter, pouring more water in the reservoir, and resetting the size, and then putting his pot back on after I am done, but maybe I can beat him to the machine in the mornings...

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.

If I could rate it a minus I would ..be aware and go to their facebook page and see the number of complaints... yes it makes wonderful coffee if you can get it to work, mine lasted about 8 months which is good compared to some others who posted..I now have a clean light that won't go off (yes, I continuously cleaned it faithfully every 2 weeks) and now it takes 6-9 times of pressing the button before it brews 1/2 pot. Don't waste your money, it is too expensive to take the chance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in-love with this coffee bar! I've wanted one since I saw the first infomercial ages ago. It really does live up to the hype. It's super-simple to un-box, set-up, use, and to clean. In the box: Fully assembled Coffee-bar, Manual, Quick start guide, Recipe book, Cleaning guide, attached milk frother, attachable double-end measure spoon with amounts per brew molded into handle, Glass Carafe, Cone#4 filters and all kinds of stickers on brewer to get you quickly acquainted. Everything about it feels high-quality. It reminds me of commercial/business type machines a little bit. It's a bit on the larger side as far as coffee makers go but not so big that it makes an imposition in my tiny kitchen. It is tall and has a small amount of steam released from the top during use. The steam isn't so much that it would damage standard height cabinets above it. This may be something to consider if you plan on using it where there might be a low overhead. The recipe book is well written and contains details about all the types of brews, sizes etc. It has 10 recipes, only 3 are cold brews. I personally think they could of included way more but the ones they do have can be adaptable to taste. I was really impressed that my first attempts at making fancy drinks were relatively successful. The recipes are easy to follow and don't require any expertise. Overall, I'm very happy with my coffee bar. My only kinda-cons are that my specific model didn't come with a reusable filter and the recipe book could be bigger. I definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm instantly impressed by the Ninja Coffee Bar's ergonomics and plentiful features. It easily fits under my upper cabinets. I had to pull my previous machine out to fill the water reservoir or brew basket, but with the Ninja, I can now lift the reservoir off the machine and slide the brew basket open without moving the whole thing! One of my favorite features- the spoon! It might seem little, but I love that Ninja embossed a guide for # of scoops per type of brew on the spoon and that it can be stored right on the side of the machine! There's a variety of brew choices for all preferences: standard classic, rich so can add cream and not lose coffee's flavor, cafe forte is full-bodied that tastes great black, specialty is an ultra-rich concentrate, and over Ice brews cooler to go into a cup of ice without over-watering it down. Pretty cool! From my testing so far, all of the brews live up to their names. Some of the brews only brew in one size. E.g. cafe forte is always 8oz. But overall the flexibility in brew sizes is great- cup, XL cup, travel, XL travel, half carafe, carafe. When you take this coffee bar out of the box, there's a sticker over the size dial that actually tells you the oz. of each size. When you peel it off, the machine only has icons and names (which light up to indicate which is chosen). I wish the oz. were on the machine too. But you can reference the Quick Start Guide. I really like that both the carafe and single-serve cups fit in the same brew space, unlike my previous 2-way flex brew machine that had two separate brewing areas, therefore was much larger. The drip stop is another great little feature to keep from making a mess on the hot plate if you want your coffee right away. Overall I'm really impressed with the Ninja Coffee Bar so far, and hope that continues as I put each and every feature to the test!

This coffee maker is amazing! I just got it today and have already tried out making four different kinds of specialty drinks for friends. Everyone loved it and said it was just as good if not better than Starbucks! I have not brewed a regular cup of coffee yet but I expect the flavor to be just as good as with the specialty drinks. I love the versatility of this product. I bought it to replace a 5 year old Keurig machine. This machine can do so much more than the Keurig. You can make a single cup, travel cup size, half a coffee pot or a full pot as well as all of the various specialty drinks. I also like that it comes with a nice recipe book to try out new drinks! Even though I got it on sale for $99, I would definitely purchase it again at full price! It is worth every penny!

Little over 18 months of use and it leaks out from under the reservoir! Poor design and performance for a $169 plus coffee maker! I have a ninja blender that works great....very disappointed with their coffee maker though. I really expected better performance from a $169 coffee maker...especially from ninja!

I purchased this coffee maker about 5 weeks ago. Now it will not brew a single pot of coffee a gives me the 5 beeps of death. Looking the problem up on the Internet it requires you to take a part the coffee maker. I'm not qualified for that if they be coffee maker requires you to fix it every time you make a pot of coffee the coffee maker is garbage.
