This coffee maker is hard to find in stores. All other stores have last years models. This one has 6 Brew Size Settings: Cup, Large Cup, Travel Mug, Large Travel Mug, Half Carafe, Full Carafe. I have about 6 different coffee makers from Expresso, cappuchino, to 3 different Keurig machines, and this is by far the easiest and best of all of them. I use the first Travel Mug setting (16oz) size. The temperature is 119- 200 degrees after adding Half & Half in a ceramic room temperature mug. I use 3 1/2 small scoop size per mug. The basket is easy to clean. Just rinse it out in the sink and rinse its holder out. No fussing with spoons to measure coffee or fit measured coffee into a small holder(like Keurig adapters). Measurer that comes with Ninja doesn't hold coffee in it. No static electricity, all coffee comes out of measurer. Just shake Ninja's Spoon in your coffee bag to get rid of excess coffee you have on spoon. Perfect measurement every time. I noticed something most coffee makers do not have. When brewing cups or travel mugs, not carafe, the water is held with the coffee to steep it like a French Press, before it goes into the mug making a better cup of coffee. When in Carafe Mode the maker is just a drip through coffee maker. The Cone Shaped(included filter) is a breeze to clean. One note of CAUTION! When set on Clean, the coffee maker will use all water in reservewa. I tried adding water when container was halfway through 1st cleaning cycle and Hot Water flow did Not Stop or reset for 2nd cleaning cycle. Water all over counter and it is HOT!!!. REMEMBER! ALL WATER IS USED IN CLEANING CYCLE NON-STOP!!! This coffee maker comes with a Glass Carafe, An Ice Over Pitcher, and the Built in Milk Frother. Hot plate only comes on in the Carafe Modes not Cup or Mug Modes. Machine is not deep so you can put Carafe and Ice Pitcher behind it on the counter. For this latest model make sure it has 6 settings on the Dial. Sam's Club has it on Sale for $129.00. Hope sale is still on for you. Has clock to set wakeup brewing time and stay warm timer. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MONETARY OR PERKS FOR THIS REVIEW. I can just say, "What a relief to get a strong, hot, cup of coffee with minimum preparation and cleanup." Get it! You won't be sorry with this latest model. Eddy, Fishkill, NY

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.

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 was excited to try the features on the Ninja coffee bar system. It started out great but soon was very disappointed with the brewing of this system. I have softened well water that is run through two water filters to produce clean water. We used this system for a short period of time before the "clean light" came on. I followed the instructions for cleaning but after cleaning it would not brew properly. Cleaned it again. Not any better. Cleaned it 5 more times before it would properly run thru the clean cycle. Cleaned one more time for good measure and it finally was brewing. Well that was short lived. Had to do the process of cleaning all over again so I decided I would use distilled water once I got the brewer to work again. Well, it seems this brewer will only work for a short amount of time before you have to clean it, and you have to clean it, and clean it, and clean it again and again, you get the picture. My advice is to buy another coffee maker, this one has been nothing but a nightmare.

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 went back and forth for months on whether or not to buy this coffee maker. Honestly, it was the price that kept tripping me up. I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase, SO WORTH IT! This coffee bar makes the perfect iced coffee, hot coffee, and the frother is a great add on! I have zero complaints about this product. This machine even comes with a little recipe book to help you create your favorite coffee shop specialties at home. I know I have already made my money back on this purchase just by the amount I have saved making my favorite drinks at home instead of running to the coffee shop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several Shark-Ninja products at home. I have never been disappointed in how they work, or how they look, until now. I've had this "Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe System CF090" for several weeks now, and have only just now been able to get it to work. I even had to call customer service to get some idea if it was my fault, that perhaps I wasn't doing something correctly. I followed all the directions to set it up, just like I always do with a new and unfamiliar appliance or tool. After following all the added suggestions of the person at customer service, I finally put it through a cleaning cycle, as he suggested. That only added to my disgust with this product, as this was a brand new out of the box appliance. Why should I have to put it through an intense cleaning cycle before I could get it to work properly? It's supposed to know how much water to draw from it's reservoir, after you choose size and type of brewing you want to match with the mug or carafe you are using. Nope! No matter how I set it, it wanted to draw all the water out. It's finally working, although I don't trust it enough to walk away while it's brewing, only to come back and find coffee all over the kitchen! About the only part of this machine I do like is the frother. However, I can't see spending $$ just for a fancy frother. The other thing is that it is labor intensive to clean. Much more work that is necessary for a single cup of coffee. I think I'll just go back to my standard coffee maker, until I do more research and find a Specialty Coffee Maker that is easy to use and clean.

This machine made some good coffee but didn't last more than 10 months before it broke, its temperamental with coffee not liking some brands and over extracting them to bitterness. The worst is the customer service and the fact that a class action investigation is pending because of all the problems. I got 2 one for my son and one for me. I wish I spent the money on Bonavita, KitchenAid or some other good brand. :(

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!

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
