[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe System CF090 is one of the best items I have ever received from the Spark Review Program. It makes great coffee by the pot or single serving cup It is easy to use and clean and is beautiful to look at. I would recommend this product that wants a quality coffee system Thank you Spark for such a great product.
I would give this zero stars if possible
Bought this at Sams. Moved a month later, so didn't take it out of the box as I wanted to use it in my new kitchen. Opened it up yesterday and tried to do the run through of 2 carafes of water before brewing a pot. Ninja made 2 pumps of water into the carafe. Did all the troubleshooting the booklet said. Tried 10 more times..still the same. Called Ninja and they walked me through more troubleshooting. Still same story...oh and by the way your warranty is out and doesn't cover this! ????Really. This is a brand new pot. Unfortunately I have now read on line this is a common problem with Ninja. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!! My $20 pot is still working after 2 years. $100+ Ninja is now going to the garbage. Only consolation is I can give a brand new carafe to Goodwill!!
Great features, but one major flaw.
I have had my Ninja coffee bar for just over a year now and I've been very careful about cleaning it on a regular basis. It started leaking from the bottom of the reservoir and the hole into which the water goes. My very latest attempt to run the cleaning cycle has failed miserably and I have water all over the place. If not for this problem, the Ninja coffee bar would be great. Mine is not the only one to do this, apparently it is a widespread problem. I just wish I had done my research before we spent all that money on this one.
Coffee Heaven!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me there is nothing better than the taste of coffee. I love every coffee drink known to man and the Ninja coffee bar system pretty much makes every coffee drink known to man. I am pretty sure coffee shops are not going to like the competition they are going to get with this invention being in people’s homes where they can enjoy the very same professional coffee drinks right in their own homes at a fraction of the cost. And this machine DOES make the very same drinks that taste every bit as good! You can make a single cup of pod free coffee for yourself using one coffee cup or you can make 10 cups with the glass carafe that comes with it. It has an amazing hot and cold frother on the side of it that transforms hot or cold milk into silky froth in seconds. And what makes the coffee flavor from this machine so much better than other coffee machines is it’s patented thermal flavor extraction. Many variables go into brewing the perfect cup of coffee, temperature, pre-infusion and saturation. And this machine’s thermal flavor extraction technology automatically controls all of that for us. Water is heated to the exact temperature for the particular coffee drink you choose to make. Pre infusion-grounds are evenly saturated then given time to “bloom”. Then grounds are saturated a second time for an even constant extraction. Brew size choice options on it are one cup, travel mug, X-large single cup, multi serve, half or full carafe. Classic brew is smooth rich balanced flavor, rich brew is richer than classic with more intense flavor that really stands up to extra milk, cream or flavoring. Over ice brew-designed to brew fresh and hot over ice cold coffee drink that is never watered down. And the Ninja exclusive cafe forte brew which is a full bodied cup of coffee that amplifies your coffee’s unique nuances down to the last sip. And a nice little coffee drink recipe book comes with this unit too. It also has a removable water reservoir that makes it easier to clean, a program delay brew option, drip stop, and even a clean cycle feature. The glass carafe that comes with it is very nice. Has a brew through lid which keeps the coffee taste good down to the last cup in the carafe. My husband and I are in coffee heaven with this thing. I’ve not had time to try every single coffee drink in the recipe book but I plan to eventually get to every one of them. We can even make carmel macchiatos! My favorite! I have only just got this machine so I can’t attest to how long it will last but as of right now its probably my most favorite thing in my kitchen. I’m having a blast with it! It makes the best flavored cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted from a home brewing machine. Home brewing systems that make coffee specialty drinks like this that taste this good are really expensive. But this is every bit as good as those but at a better price that we can afford.
Leaks in a little over a year! Out $169.00
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!
Easy to use
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this coffee system. It is amazing! At first I thought it was going to be difficult to use, but turns out it's quite simple. It makes single serves or up to a whole pot. What I like most is that I can feel the carafe up with ice, using the Over ice Brew function. It turns out really well. Another function that I favor is the frothing device. It makes my creamer nice and frothy, making it like a Cafe style coffee within seconds! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for these types of functions as well as simple coffee. My family and guests have also enjoyed this very much.
Star of our New Coffee Bar
This coffee maker is well designed and well made (see the pics I attached of the product). It also looks great on any countertop. The frothing mechanism swings out for ease of use but easily folds out of the way. It is the same with the single cup mechanism. To fill the water reservoir, one can flip up the lid or easily remove it to fill up straight from a refrigerator water filter (this is how I choose to do this). It is also a breeze to clean. One can choose a classic taste or rich brew just with a push of the right button. (I like the rich brew when adding lots of milk or chocolate, but not when drinking straight). Also, if you want to remove the carafe and pour a cup before the coffee is finished brewing, just flip a switch to stop the drip. No mess, no fuss. You can easily choose how much coffee to make just by turning a knob, which lights your choice. Overall I am not disappointed. My coffee tastes better than when using my old machine. Weird, I know. Now for the reasons I gave the item 4 instead of 5 stars. The frothing mechanism, while great, does not heat the milk. Also, you cannot make espresso using this machine. I guess for the price, I would have expected this. Bottom line though, my wife liked this so much she created a new coffee bar around this.
Best coffee maker ever owned, hands down!!
I received this item as a gift for christmas this past year, and I love it!! It is SO easy to set up, the instructions are really easy. It has as I like to call “dummy proof” steps to set up a delay brew for the next morning. I absolutely LOVE how hot it keeps my coffee, having an automatic shut off is helpful for me since I always forget to shut it off. I also use a ton of refrigerated creamer, so it tends to cool my coffee enough to the point that I have to reheat it, but not with this coffee maker!! The brewing time is amazingly fast as well, it takes just a couple of minutes and it’s hot as can be! Over all this is the best coffee maker I have ever owned hands down, and I would definitely recommend for sure!!
Ninja Coffee Bar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the sleek look to the Ninja Coffee Bar Glass Carafe system CF090! The display face is easy to read and to use. I love the different setting! The dial is feels a little cheap, but slides easy. The attachment for froth is easy to take off and put back on, and is super easy to wash. There is a feature to stop the filter from dripping if you want a cup of coffee before the pot is all the way done that is awesome! I am pretty impatient in the morning so it is nice to be able to grab a cup of coffee without making a giant mess. The water reservoir is easy to take off, easy to fill, and easy to clean! The glass carafe also has a locking lid which makes it nice, now I don’t have to worry about the lid lifting and water spilling out when I fill the reservoir. Over all this coffee machine makes my mornings easier, I also use it during the day to make iced coffee and in the evening to make tea. I would and have recommended this machine to all my friends and family!! I give this machine 5 stars.
Does not measure water correctly!
Brand new out of the box, this machine never worked right. I referenced the manual and info online and it pumps way too much water through for every brew setting I pick. I thought maybe I wasn't understanding or doing something wrong until I got a measuring cup and found out the regular/classic cup that's supposed to brew 9.5 ounces was putting out a little over 11 ounces of water. I tested every other brew setting (cup, XL, Travel as classic/rich/over-ice) and each cycle had the same results; way too much water, making each cup weak and nasty. It's not worth this amount of money when it can't even function as it's designed. I really wanted to love this machine and get away from Keurig, but it didn't live up to it's reputation. Sorry Sofia, you can have it back!
