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 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!

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.

We have used every option on this machine and loved them all! From the 4 oz specialty brew to a pitcher of iced coffee, every cup/carafe has been rich, smooth and delicious! I convinced a friend to order one (we both replaced our "K-machines") and she thanks me everyday! I have NO regrets!

I have a Keurig that I just love bUT there are times I want a POT of coffee or I want to make a specialty coffee. I debated for about a month before purchasing this. A coworker of my. husband was raving about his and that pushed me over the top along with Sams great price point. I have made cups, 1/2 carafes, carafes, flavored, lattes, cappuccino, iced, and travel mugs. I like the frother but still like my Keurig frother since it heats and froths all together. I am not disappointed. I love the sleek design, I am very pleased with the versitility and delighted with the final results. I think I may plan a cafe party.

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.

From the moment we made our first pumpkin space latte, we fell in love with our Ninja Carafe Coffee Bar! Making specialty coffees from the recipe book that was included is a breeze and is transforming us into baristas! We also appreciate the programming feature that allows us to set the coffee bar to have our coffee ready as we are waking up in the morning! Highly recommend!

Works ok, but doesn't seem to make a good simple cup of regular coffee. Still trying to figure that out.

They are supplying a different model number from the one advertised on their web site. No excuse for them to not keep their web site info correct.

To be able to make my own coffee and speciality coffee is amazing right at home. Thanks to my hubby for my bday gift. Wonderful treat. Frother just tops it all off!
