Ninja - 12-Cup Coffee Maker - Black/Stainless Steel

I am very impressed with the brewing capability of this Ninja Coffee Brewer, and how perfectly it makes great tasting coffee. DESIGN AND CONTROLS: This is my third Ninja kitchen appliance. I absolutely loved the previous two (a blender, and an air fryer), so I was expecting another winner. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. This coffee brewer could not be easier to use. All the settings are logically labeled and self-explanatory. All it takes is putting coffee in the reusable filter and pushing a few buttons. It is constructed of quality components (that is expected at this price point). I especially like that a washable filter is included. The brewing modes are: Rich, Classic, and Small Batch. The Small Batch setting, which is designed to optimally makes 1 to 4 cups of coffee, is the equivalent to about 1 to 2 large coffee mugs. It can make up to 12 cups of coffee, which is the equivalent of about 6 large mugs. The Delay Brew function can be programmed to have hot coffee waiting for you when you wake up. The components are easy to take out and clean after use. Just rinse, and dry and they are ready for the next day. APPEARANCE: This coffee maker has a premium appearance and will look great in any style kitchen. VERDICT: The Ninja Coffee Maker is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. It looks good, has a nice feature set, and most importantly makes a delicious cup of coffee.

My grandmother loves to drink coffee. She has it several times throughout the day and into the evening. For quite some time, she has been using a single-serve coffee pot and we decided to give her an upgraded system for the holidays this year. Since she drinks coffee multiple times per day, we wanted her to have a full size coffee pot and since we have used other Ninja products, we thought this 12-cup coffee maker would be a good investment for her long-term use. This coffee maker is easy to use. There are easy to read labels on it and it’s fairly self-explanatory. I really like that all the components — including the filter — are washable. There are several brewing modes, which comes in handy since the members of our family all like their coffee just a little different. The small batch setting will work very nicely for my grandma as it will make 1-4 cups of coffee (approximately 1-2 large cups) which is perfect for her uses. This coffee maker has a sleek, attractive design and it’s very sturdy. I love that this is easy to use since my grandma appreciates technology, but doesn’t always understand how it works. I like that this is a high quality coffee maker at an affordable price. I would recommend this to others.

Easy set-up and I like the touch screen option (user friendly). It has standard features that come with most coffee makers. I like the option that the water tank is easily accessible and you can take it off to fill it with water. Also I like the custom brew technology that lets you choose between mild to strong-something that is not in many coffee makers. I tried different options and did see a big difference on the coffee strength. You can choose small batches (1-4 cups) or full carafe. I was concerned that this will make noise if I have to use it at work, but was surprised how silent it was compared to my old one. Found something interesting on this coffeemaker that is not there on any other machine - it drips into the top and goes down a straw (like device) & out into the bottom of the pot. I did see a big difference- helps keep every cup hot and flavor is evenly distributed in the carafe which is good when you make a full carafe. This is definitely a neat technology to keep every cup flavorful. Also, the coffee is pretty hot, so let it cool a bit before you take your first sip- guessing its common as the heater element is new. Most important of all - use high grade coffee beans to really see the difference. I grind my coffee every week to keep it fresh and flavorful

After 3-weeks, I seriously love the Ninja 12-cup coffee brewing system. A perfect drip coffee consistent pot after pot. The water tank is easy to fill either by pouring water into it or removing the tank and filling it from the tap ( my sink has a carbon water filter). The coffee filter inside the Ninja brewer has a fine mesh gold screen filter medium. Works well enough but I prefer to still add my paper media inside it as it filters the fine coffee grind residue even further. If you brew 4 or less cups, just push the 4-cup button for a perfect brew. I make 6-cups (half a pot) and after a few adjustments for strength versus desired flavor, each pot is now great. Built in bright white-blue clock allows you to program a start brew time so your morning coffee is waiting. Automatically turns off if you forget or leave it warming for 2-hours. Strong or regular there is a setting for this too. I like the easy to remove lid on the pot making it easy for my large hands to wash out the glass pot.

This coffee maker has a very attractive design that feels very sturdy and refined. The water tank is easy to fill either by pouring water into it or removing the tank and filling it from the tap. The coffee filter inside the Ninja brewer has a "Gold-tone permanent filter" which works well but you are able to still add a traditional paper filter if one might prefer. The permanent filter works well but on occasion allows granules through. This maker is great for brewing 4 or less cups, which is done by pushing the 4-cup button. I usually only make about 4 cups so this mode is frequently used. Adjustments for strength can be made on the maker which features two modes but also by the amount of coffee added. The built in bright white clock allows you to program a start brew time so your morning coffee is waiting. Automatically turns off if you forget or leave it warming for 2-hours. This unit is fairly tall so accessing the filter and water tank may not be able to be done from under cabinets so the unit needs to be pulled out first or set on open counter top. Other than this it has been a great and simple coffee maker!

We've been using this coffee maker for about a month and we really like it, but there are a few improvements that could make it better. Some of the things we love about the product are: - Easy to setup - Cleaning is very easy and parts can easily fit in dishwasher - Doesn't need paper filters - Stays hot for up to four hours Things that could be improved: - If you fill to 12 cups, it is right to the brim so you have to be careful not to spill - Not 1-button start, need to turn on and hit start - Would be nice to have backlit buttons None of the items above are show-stoppers, or even major annoyances, but little things that could improve it in the future. The timer works as expected to have a hot cup of joe ready in the morning. Overall, we like the Ninja Coffee Maker and would recommend it to others.

Let me start by saying this coffee maker does brew great tasting coffee. Out of the box it was ready to go. The brewer and pot are of high-quality material and the top of the carafe goes on snuggly with a twist to make sure it’s on. I can’t tell you how many times I didn’t put the top on tightly on my previous coffee maker and ended up with a puddle of coffee on the counter. I love that this has a removable water reservoir. It saves me a step of filling the carafe and then pouring it into the coffee maker. Nice touch. Set up was easy and straight forward. I set the clock and changed the warming plate to go ff in 4 hours. That was it. The first pot was great, even compared to my high end coffee maker that cost 3 times as much. It has most of what you would expect from a good coffee maker, delayed brew, mid brew pause, warming plate timer and removable reservoir. The only thing I found missing is there is no water filtering, so if you don’t have good tap water, you may want to use filtered water in this brewer. Overall, I am very impressed with this coffee maker and it has replaced my old one for now.

All in all a very nice coffee maker. There are 2 reasons why i enjoy this maker. Sturdy and design. The maker is sturdy. At a glance it seems a little compact but after looking closer it is actually a pretty thought out design. One thing that annoys be with coffee makers is that the actual peculating device (pump) inside is somewhat cheaply made, I didn't think that was the case with this maker, it actually seems to be a quality build. Secondly, the design. I think having a completely clear water reservoir is a cool touch. I have never seen this before. It usually has that transparent "guess" line. This reservoir leave no guess to the actual amount of water that is in the storage. I think this feature plays into why i am gaining more and more trust for this brand. All is very thought out about this sturdy futuristic coffee maker.
