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!

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!

[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!

We have this coffee maker for about 3 months. We ran a pot of water in the clean mode. We have done this with every coffee maker we've ever purchased. With that being said, it brews just fine for the most part. We have had 3/4 of a pot brew on the full pot cycle. Whatever that's easy to deal with. The major issue we have with this product is the STRONG chemical/plastic smell and taste. It is so bad my husband can't and will not drink anything brewed from this coffee maker. It has literally made him sick! BUYER BEWARE! (We will be writing the company with a complaint.)

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.

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.

I love that I can make a full pot or just a cup. The versatility of it as well as the milk frother is a bonus. I don't like that I have to microwave the milk or cream first, per machine instructions. I did try to froth it without microwaving first and that was a failure. I have to heat up the milk in a separate cup then froth it which is one more dirty dish. I also wish that the frother button didn't have to be held the entire time. Overall a good machine.

Like others, I thought this is great! In theory it was...until the "clean cycle". Now it beeps and shuts off the brewing cycle 5 seconds into a brew. Basically you have to touch the brew cycle button in 15 second intervals about 10 times before you get ONE cup of coffee. I don't know how you are before you have your morning coffee...but I'm not in the mood for that sort of nonsense. DO NOT BUY!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though I did not have enough time to test every recipe it is very impressive coffee maker. I only use to make classic coffee for right now. It is very simple to use even though at first glance it does have a lot buttons but once you check out it is very simple to use. The coffee taste is great because I always use rich brew setting. It comes with booklet that contains 10 coffee house style recipes. It is very clever idea of integrated frother that swings back inside when not in use, but it would be even better if can heat up milk instead of using microwave first (according to directions from their booklet). Preparing brand new coffee maker is procedure that requires you run the clean cycle two times before you can use it. One hour to run the water through, and about 8 to 10 minutes at least to flush the system and then again repeat same thing as calling priming Ninja Bar system. After that you are set to use. Ninja Coffee Bar system is very tall machine about 15 inches in height so make sure you have enough room for this unit especially because at top of coffee maker there are steam holes that need even more room to release extremely hot air. Overall it is very nicely made design compare to how many different functions can be used with different parts retracting in and out.

big issues with this coffee maker, go to their FB page (https://www.facebook.com/ninjacoffeebar/) and see all the negative comments. Don't be fooled by all the amazing features. after a week you will be plagued with the clean light bottom that constantly comes on. Than the machine will not even make a pot or cup of coffee, beep 5 times and shuts off. They are aware of the issue when you call their customer support they want to give you a new base at no cost to you just pay the $19.99 fed-ex shipping. No thank you, I'm not spending another cent on this junk, I'm bringing mine back to Sams Club and buying a single serve Bunn.
