Our old drip coffee maker finally decided to "die" after 12 years.... little did i realize that we were not enjoying our Starbucks coffee beans like we thought, once I made coffee with the Ninja. Ninja was able to super heat the water and allow for better coffee flavor to be extracted: I am using about 10% less coffee to make a nice robust cup. The frother works fine. everything is easy to clean.

Love this unit. Coffee has never tasted so good. I have used the Keurig since it first came out and thought I would never change but took a chance on this unit and was sold on the first cup. The frother adds the magic touch. Just received my order of flavored coffees from Coffee A.M and I am set for the cold weather. Thanks Ninja!

I bought this about a month ago and I'm so glad i did. After my first cup of coffee I was impressed. It's nice being able to brew one cup or a carfe. The specialty feature and attached frother are my favorite. I make my own drinks now and will save a ton not going to coffee shops all the time.

I've only owned it a week but so far I've been very impressed! Makes multiple styles of great coffee. The specialty brew is just like making espresso. Switched from the keurig because I wanted the option to make a whole pot as well as single cups and not have to buy the K cups anymore.

I bought this on black Friday sale. Sams club given me a very good deal on this. Ninja Coffee bar system is amazing. Those who are coffee lover and want to try different varieties of coffee this will perfectly suits them. I loved drip off and milk frothier features. Now brewing coffee became my new hobby.

I did a LOT of research before I bought this- I knew I wanted a Ninja but there are so many different models! I wanted the thermal carafe to keep it warm but the price jump was intimidating. And reading reviews of it, out sounded like it didn't really live up to the thermal part (keeping it warm only a couple of hours). I use the glass carafe and if I have more coffee I want kept warm, I have a large Contigo travel mug that keeps it just fine and that way it doesn't burn or get more concentrated as it would in the glass carafe. I have made many different kinds of coffee already and I feel like I'm just getting started!

I love the options offered! One cup, haft pot or full pot. So user friendly...easy to fill, operate, clean and looks great too. The frother for milk is a nice extra. Recipes are fun to try and gave me great ideas for my own creations. I've had it a month and it works great so far.

My daughter really wanted this coffee maker and I was a little skeptical at first since I am used to using a Keurig and getting a cup of coffee in around a minute and wasn't sure how this would compare. However I was pleasantly surprised! It does take slightly longer to brew a single cup (~3 min) but that is on the Strong Brew setting. The Classic Brew setting is slightly less time, but either way the coffee is great. I have a reusable pod container I used with my Keurig and this uses about 2/3 the amount of coffee and makes a stronger brew! The advantage of brewing a whole or half pot does offset the additional time to brew a single cup. The Over Ice Brew setting works well for iced coffee (at least my daughter says so). The frother works well, it's definitely not the same as steamed milk but it gets the job done. If you want hot frothed milk you do need to heat the milk first though. If that is the primary reason you are buying the brewer I am not sure you will be overly impressed, but it does work well for the occasional frother. Overall I am very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it.

We bought this about a month ago and it's great. It makes really good tasting coffee and we love the built in frother! It's taken our coffee game to the next level! I find the removable water tray to be super convenient and again, love that the frother is built in (doesn't take up additional counter space) and easy to remove for cleaning. All around, it's just been a great purchase.

This machine brews coffee fast and the taste is excellent. They say not all coffee machines are made alike, this hold true for the ninja coffee bar system. The side frothier makes coffee just like Starbucks. Excellent machine and highly recommend it.
