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.

Great right out of the box. Will be 5 Stars if it lasts 3 years. My experience after a lot of coffee makers is that 3 years is the best they can do. Love the size selections and the frother (will mainly be used for our Granddaughters Hot Cocoa) 2 minor issues with this one. 1. Would be nice if the Stay Warm light on the coffee maker control panel was higher, so you can see it over the coffee cup that is always there. 2. We fill the tank installed on the machine (we do not take the tank off to fill it) So fill lines on the front of the coffee water tank in addition to where they are now on the side would be nice. Hopefully the fill lines give you some ( /- 1/8th- 3/16th") wiggle room, since the lid covers the max. fill line rib. We could just take the lid off and fill it then reinstall the lid...that's asking a lot of a body just needing that first cup :D

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.

We bought it several weeks ago. We loved our Keurig too but Ninja has so many more features. my husband likes his coffee stronger and me not so much he likes a super large cup i like a smaller cup. I also like iced coffee. Ninja makes it just like McD's caramel, mocha.

I bought this on sale and I'll have to say this is by far the best coffee maker I have ever owned. The Kuerig doesn't even come close to this coffee bar. I love it for multiple reasons such as, it's the best full flavored tasting coffee, specialty drinks, iced drinks, full pot of coffee, half pot of coffee, travel mugs small or large, milk frother as well. This coffee bar is so versatile for every need, I love the frother attached, the small/large scoop attached to machine, carafe, travel mugs size and the filter for the best tasting brewed coffee. The only fault i would have would be you have to warm your milk in the microwave prior to frothing, they should have added a hot steamer in the design to heat it while frothing but other then that it is a wonderful coffee maker and well worth the money.

I used to love the convenience and flavor of my old Keurig K cup machine, but the cups got too expensive. So then I bought a Mr. Coffee Expresso machine. It worked great for 2 years, but I got tired of packing the disks and I didn't feel like I was enjoying it as much. So, I saw this Ninja Coffee Bar. Its really great!! They have thought of everything. Its also a beautiful looking appliance. Someone really put a lot of thought into designing this machine. It does it all. Only thing I am getting used to is, the coffee comes out pretty strong. So I am adjusting to that, but I think I just need to use less coffee. So far, I really love it!

Purchased about a month ago, glass craft, I use the craft for brewing because the mugs in my cupboard are all different sizes. I use paper filters because, in my opinion, all permanent filters release sediment. I have not used the timer feature yet, but I do set up before bed and just push the pre-chosen button in the morning. I use the frother on lazy mornings, I warm my mug and cream prior to the froth and brew. I am happy with the purchase and will be that much more happier when my housemate gets used to it.

We bought this because we were using two coffee pots. A full drip brew and single server Cuisinart K cup. Using this model Ninja we can brew a pot then make my single. Using paper filter or gold filter coffee comes out smooth hot and consistent strength. Keeps coffe in pot warm without burning. Have only used it for a week but am delighted so far. Will be trying some speciality brews over the holidays. Liking my purchase of this system.

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.

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.
