Overpriced!!!!

I ordered online but when we received the pot was very small. I think it said it had a 10 cup capacity but it only made 6 cups of coffee. Not 6 actual large coffee mugs but 6 cups. Overpriced for this reason!!! Also had to reprogram preset coffee time every time. Everyday I had to program it to come on at 6 am.

Makes great coffee

This coffee maker is incredibly easy to use and makes delicious coffee. I was hesitant to spend so much on a coffee maker, but am so glad I did! I can definitely tell the difference in the taste of the coffee. I love that it brews quickly and gives you a friendly beep when it's finished brewing. I highly recommend the Ninja Speciality Coffee Maker!

Love it!

I was hesitant to spend this amount of money on a coffee machine but it is as described. Everything works flawlessly. I can froth my cream or milk (warm in micro first no worries;'). I can set brewing to classic or rich - yummy every time. Brew as much or a lil as you want. Flavor extracted every single time. Love it!

Happy Coffee Snob

It has taken me years to find/buy the coffee maker. I am all about taste, so the fact that this comes with its own filter basket is a plus. Its easily removed and cleaned after each wash. You can use any sized cup your heart desires. I've made classic coffee and Lattes(my drink of choice). It's programmable, alerts when brew is complete and come with an attached measuring spoon for the perfect cup.

5 beeps and that’s it

I bought my first Ninja 3 years ago loved it!! Then about 1 year in it started beeping and won’t brew. Went out and bought a new one about 1 year later same thing. I called Ninja and complained they sent me a replacement machine and I kept the water tank, filter and carafe. Well now just about 1 year later same thing today go to make a cup of coffee and the deadly beeps start. I’m so frustrated I think a coffee maker should last longer than 1 year.

Life changing coffee!

My daughter's college roommate has this and my daughter called it 'life changing'. I was skeptical but I made an impulse buy while strolling through Sam's club. I was looking to ditch my Keurig and this felt like a nice upgrade, that doesn't have the expense or waste of K-cups. I live by myself and regularly only want 1 cup of coffee. I was definitely impressed by the quality of the hot coffee but my 'life changed' when I used the ice coffee function. It makes amazing ice coffee!! I will have to warn friends and family members that they may be receiving random texts at all hours due to my new caffeine habit.

Owned for Years & Delivers every time

Just sharing this bc I've owned this 'Ninja' with the aluminum pot since it came out, maybe 3 years ago? It was a lot more expensive, but it's paid for itself in great black, smooth coffee. This thing is a gem. Makes single cup and full pot as evenly rich & delicious. Makes 8oz, 12 oz (Xl) & 20oz (travel). The 'Rich' button really makes a Bold flavor. Turns Folgers into French roast. Even the Specialty button make a perfect 4oz espresso with Dunkin donuts, Lavazza or Cafe Bustelo. Used frother when we 1st got it, and it was Pro level foam but now it collects dust. The Reusable filter easily rinses clean. Occasionally scrub it with a brush. Never been in a dishwasher. Never ran it on 'Clean' mode bc it's never notified to me to do so, and as they say "If it ain't broke, don't mess with it" All I do is use a 'Waterdrop' faucet filter to add water. Clean filter & reservoir with a bottle brush every time it runs low before I refill. It's the simplest appliance with the highest satisfaction quotient in the kitchen.

Absolutely LOVE this! ❤️

Would Highly recommend! I received this for Christmas and I have owned every type.of coffee pot known! I absolutely love it! It has the mixer on back. You can do one cup, half pot or full pot. It comes apart easy to clean. Has 3 different strengths of brew along with a cold coffee option. Also by now I normally burn them up from running them so much and it is still going strong! It also has a automatic stop of the pot gets to full!! By far my favorite I have ever owned in my 35+ years of different coffee pots!!

Good product until it just stops working

I bought this product a few months ago at the recommendation of a friend. It worked well and I liked the features until it just stopped staying on one day. We have called multiple times since it has manufacturers warranty and Ninja customer service never answers no matter what time or day we call and we are left on hold for hours. I guess its just time to get a different brand of coffeepot even though this is still new as we have done all the at home troubleshooting and nothing works. Save yourself a headache and get a Keurig or Cuisanart since their customer service is great.
