1 week of use thus far; not impressed

After a week of daily use, it seems the Ninja Coffee System probably isn't for me. I was looking to replace a Cuisinart 12-cup coffee maker and a Keurig K-cup system. Saw this at my local club (and on discount) and figured it may be a useful "two birds, one stone" type solution for the coffee makers that needed replacing. I'm not particularly interested in the extra bells and whistles on the Ninja; likely won't ever use the "specialty" or "cafe forte" capabilities, the frother, or any of the other unique features or recipes. I simply want something that can make a full pot when needed and a 2-4 cup pot when needed (K-cup replacement). With this machine, whether using the "full" brew setting for the big pot or the "travel mug" or "XL travel mug" for the small pot, I cannot get it to brew properly flavored coffee. And I'm certain it isn't the beans, roast, grind, or any other variable outside the capability of the coffee maker. I'll likely give it another week or so of attempts, but I suspect this thing is going back on my next club visit. If it turns out my experimentation this upcoming week with different amounts of ground coffee and filtered water for each particular brew setting solves my dilemma, I'll amend this review and upgrade my overall rating. One final thing that kinda bugs me about this machine... the water reservoir. The Ninja machine never uses all of the water each time I make a pot. There is always a couple ounces of water that remain in the reservoir. I believe this results from the pre-measured quantity brew settings of the maker's operating system and the reservoir not playing on the same sheet of music. Perhaps the old Cuisinart spoiled me by not making the water reservoir visible (and therefore, not something I ever noticed), but the knowledge of the Ninja letting water sit in the reservoir until the next pot is brewed is disconcerting for some reason :( I did not have any spillage or water mess as some of the other reviewers have documented. Overall, at this time, I can't recommend the Ninja, especially since Sams offers others for far less $

Lot of features

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

Beware: you will not get model # CF090A

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.

Wonderful !

I bought one for the office and then went back and bought one for home. I love the options offered with this coffee maker and the ability to make one cup is the best

love,love,love,love it!!!!!

Easy to use, Best coffee taste-wise because it is my own measured amount, easy clean-up, and fancy accessories to make coffee-house style beverages. Best coffee maker I ever purchased by far! I absolutely love this machine.

Great coffee maker at a great price

I bought this coffee maker. The coffee is not bitter. Its flavor compares to a lot more e pensive coffee maker. The only downfall is it doesn't warm the milk, will just froth it.

Great coffee

I bought this a few weeks back and the coffee is the best that I have ever had in a home machine. Also like the versatility of making a whole or half pot and the different size cups (4oz, 8 oz and tumbler sizes).

Great Product!

I bought this a month ago and out family loves this machine. Nice features and customizable drink sizes and types is really nice. The built in frother is great and the coffee scoop is stored on the machine...smart! We save money on coffee now.

Well worth the money

I bought this for my mom for Christmas even though recently she was given a brand new Keurig. The frother is awesome!! She states it makes the best coffee ever and I agree.
