Ninja - Espresso & Coffee Barista System, Single Serve & Nespresso, with 12-Cup Carafe, 4 Styles with Ristretto - Black

This is my second Ninja coffee maker and I must say it does everything you need and more. Very easy to use, plus you can brew specific amounts of coffee to the ounce. It doesn’t have a warmup period like my last Ninja, and also brews very fast. The delay brew is self explanatory and allows you to choose specific settings for the brew at a later time. Overall fantastic. My only complaint is that it does NOT come with a reusable filter. They want you to purchase it separately, which to me was kind of ridiculous because this is their most expensive machine. But I felt it didn’t warrant a deduction in rating.

This was exactly what I wanted. A compact machine that had the ability to use k cups and regular brewed coffee. The carafe is spill-proof (unlike other brands like Mr. coffee), is super easy and intuitive to use, and the compact frother for lattes is an added benefit.

I recently purchased the Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista System as a Christmas gift for my wife, who had been wanting an affordable espresso maker. As someone who typically sticks to a traditional coffee pot and Keurig, I was hesitant to make the switch, but this has completely won me over. The flavor of the espresso is incredible—on par with the $5+ drinks you’d find at Starbucks. The engineering behind this machine is truly impressive, and it’s by far the best coffee machine I’ve ever owned. What’s even better is the value—I've already calculated my ROI, and I’ll recuperate the investment in less than 6-7 months. It’s versatile, convenient, and an excellent replacement for anyone looking to upgrade from a coffee pot or Keurig. My wife loves it, and I’m enjoying it just as much. Highly recommend it!"

We love our Ninja Expresso and Coffee Barista machine. The coffee is always excellent and there are many size options to ensure you don’t make too much coffee. It runs quickly too in case you need to make multiple pots to get through a rough work day. There is a separate water container that puts providing the correct amount of water in the machines workflow and out of yours. There is a nice little scoop to make sure you apply the correct amount of grounds as well. Afternoons I enjoy a nice Expresso, cappuccino or caffe mocah. The Expresso is Nespresso Original Line pods which has an excellent brew quality. One day I may get an Expresso machine but this takes the pain of learning how to make an Expresso from scratch out of the equation. The Nespresso comes out excellent and there’s a ton of options out there to try. The frother is an excellent tool for making a good drink. There are more expensive coffee maker options that do more work for you but then you will pay much more money. For what we use it to or has immense ROI in productivity throughout the day.

I absolutely love this espresso and coffee system. It's easy to set up and use. I have made caramel lattes, espresso shots, iced coffee and regular hot coffee. Everything came out tasting awesome like a I bought it from a real coffee shop. I purchased Starbuck nespresso pods, caramel syrup to make my coffee drinks. Now I don't need to spend $7 on a Starbucks trip. I just need to learn how to make all those cool designs with the frothy milk on top.
