So just wanted to say how amazing the coffee is with this coffee machine . I love being able to fluff my milk in the morning with the tool on the side . The coffee pot leaves the coffee nice and hot for 3 hours I would say . It reminds me to put water if there is not water in the tank . Also there are bars that start and show how much more time is needed until the coffee is done . There is a clock on the coffee maker . Also it comes with a cup to measure how much coffee is needed to pour inside the coffee pot . Mainly I like how I can put fresh water every single time and don’t have to worry about the tank sucking in coffee beans and not working . I had the Bunn coffee machine and switched to the Ninja and it’s the best decision I made .

This coffee maker is probably the best purchase I’ve made in a very long time. It makes tea and coffee to perfection and easy to maneuver.

The build quality is great, the options are seemingly endless, and the daily functions are straightforward. There’s not a lot I could say that hasn’t already been said in these reviews, except this: go to Menards and pick up a 50¢ size 00 rubber stopper to plug the whole in the lid of the carafe when you are done brewing. Greatly increases the length of time your coffee will stay hot.

The Ninja coffee maker is slim and fits in a compact place on my counter next to my stove, under the cupboard. From first glance while unpacking, you can see it is very stylish with the black and stainless-steel design. The exterior doesn’t show fingerprints. The system comes with a book of recipes, a quick start guide, and the owner’s guide. All are visually supported booklets with easy-to-follow directions. Be sure to follow the initial directions and run two Full Brew cycles before you drink anything you make. That ensures the machine is cleaned out properly. The quick start guide then takes you through the different decisions to make with your first brew. The removable water reservoir is easy to fill and dishwasher safe. It has auto-metering so you know how much water you need to add based on the size you wish to brew. There are 6 brew sizes (cup, XL cup, travel, travel XL, half carafe, full carafe). The carafe is great, and you can make a single cup with the drop-down cup plate so your hot beverage doesn’t splatter over the counter. You get two baskets; one for tea and one for coffee. I love this so my tea doesn’t taste like coffee. When you insert the coffee or tea filter, the machine senses which one it is (smart basket recognition) and gives you the brew setting choices for that one. For tea: herbal, green, oolong, white and black. For coffee: classic, rich, over ice, cold brew, specialty. The baskets are easy to clean, but make sure you don’t toss out the tea insert when you dispose of your used tea bags into the garbage. You can also use a paper filter for coffee inside the filter holder. The brew tracker (5 blinking bars) tells you how far along your beverage is and then shows END where the time is displayed when the process is complete. For my tea, it steeps in the basket, and then the brewed tea is released into the vessel below. For those who desperately need a cup of caffeine immediately, if using the full or half carafe size, you can press the drip stop button, grab a cup, put the carafe back in, then continue the rest of the brewing cycle. I have seen the cold brew prices on the shelves in stores and the prices assorted with them. This is a much better deal. I myself am a big fan of iced tea. I love that I can brew a cup and it isn’t watery despite all the ice I add. Cold brew takes 10 minutes in this system, unlike traditional cold brew that can take all night. Did I mention that it comes with a smart scoop (that conveniently attaches to the outside) that measure coffee on one side and tea on the other, and a fold-away hot frother for milk?! There are a couple of neat options you should take into consideration when contemplating whether or not to purchase this item versus another: 1. The auto-IQ option means that the system knows how much water to use, at which temperature, and for each size and brew type. 2. There is a 24-hour programmable delay brew so you can schedule brewing ahead of time so it is ready when you are. 3. With the clean function, the CLEAN light will illuminate after there is a buildup of hard water calcium. Follow the cleaning instructions in the care & maintenance section to address that. 4. The unit will automatically power off after one hour of inactivity. That way, if you forgot to turn it off in the morning when you leave for work, it will be off when you get home at the end of the day. So many options, it is sure to please the entire family, whether they are coffee or tea drinkers. The specialty brew option adds even more delectable concoctions: chai lattes, cappuchino, matchaccino, etc. The 40-recipe booklet that you receive is filled with awesome ideas. I have only had the product for a few days, and I have already made 3 of them. And it is so easy to clean. I guarantee this home brew system will be one of the most loved, and used appliances in your kitchen. You might even consider buying one for the office and get rid of the machine with the pricey cups. To me, it is totally worth the price and I am sure you will agree with me once you have had it for just a week.

I been trying to find a coffee machine that has a tea option , I definitely found it ! I love the features it has . When it comes down to making a fast fancy drink I definitely hit the jackpot
