Ninja - Hot & Cold Brew 10-Cup Coffee Maker - Black/Stainless Steel

The best thing about the Ninja is that my coffee tastes great. I got my first drip coffee maker (Hamilton Beach) about ten years ago, and all that time I thought that coffee just didn't have much flavor. Even most coffee I would get at a coffee shop didn't seem to have much flavor, so I never understood people who said they liked the taste of coffee. When I decided it was time to upgrade, I chose the Ninja based on the many good reviews. I immediately noticed that the coffee it makes tasted great - even though I'm using the same amount of beans with a higher volume of water (more on that below). It definitely extracts more flavor from the coffee than my old machine did. I'm also making more tea because the Ninja makes it so easy. Only two minor issues: 1. I was getting a lot of water pooling under the water reservoir, which others have also noted. It was more of an annoyance than an actual problem, but it was solved completely by putting a standard rubber garden hose washer around the outlet (also something suggested by another reviewer). This is clearly a design issue that Ninja should fix, but it's no longer an issue for me. See photo. 2. Unlike most drip coffee makers that allow you to choose exactly how much water to use, with Ninja you're stuck with the six specific volumes of coffee they give you. I used to grind 40 grams of coffee beans every day and used 17 grams of H20 per gram of coffee = 23 fl oz. Ninja's 14 oz "travel mug" was too small and their "half carafe" uses about 32 oz of H2O. I didn't want to increase the amount of coffee beans I was using, so I tried sticking with 40 grams for the half carafe, even though that works out to a water to coffee ratio of more than 23. So I was pleasantly surprised at how good the coffee tastes, even though in theory it should be weaker, so I've stuck with that formula.

I loooove this! I am a cup-a-day drinker for the most part. I like to have iced coffee and hot coffee depending on my mood and this machine is great because it does both! I used to have a kuerig but I was tired of knowing the cups would go to a landfill and honestly the coffee wasn’t that great in my opinion. I was scared because of some of the reviews but I’m really happy I bought this machine and on sale too. Some reviews said it leaks everywhere.... but I haven’t had any issues. I never refill the water by taking the canister out. I always refill by pouring my Brita water into it which I think helps prevent that situation. I’ve never had the water leak. Additionally some of the reviews said that the grounds get in the coffee. I bought coffee filters rather than using the one it comes with and I haven’t had issues. Granted, I do drink only about a cup or two at a time but I have used the half caraf setting with no grounds issues as well using the disposable filters. I bought this knowing I didn’t drink much at a time so the grounds issue probably wouldn’t happen to me. I’ve had mine for about a month or so now and love it! The frothing attachment works good but I don’t use it a lot. It’s nice to have for when I’m feeling fancy though :) The coffee tastes good hot, and the cold brew setting tastes so much better than when I used to try to make it with already hot brewed coffee. So good. I like having this since I work at home now too - no more trips to buy coffee in the morning. I haven’t tried the tea setting but I do drink tea at night so I might try it sometime. If you like having iced coffee and hot coffee I think it’s worth it!!

I got another brand expresso/coffee machine few months prior to purchasing the Ninja Coffee Maker. I got very disappointed with the quality and durability of the Other product, therefore I returned and I got this Ninja Coffee Maker instead. I can say that was the best thing that happened to my breakfast mornings! The coffee taste really amazing, very rich, even when you choose the classic mode. It’s easy to clean and to setup as well. I highly recommend!

Excellent coffee maker. Makes coffee by the cup, thermos, 1/2 pot or whole pot. Will froth milk and cold brew.

LOVE this machine! it makes a great drip pot of coffee. Hot and very flavorful. And let's talk about the cold brew!!!! I make this weekly. One pot makes a cold brew for four days. The perfect summer afternoon beverage. I am so glad I bought one.

Awesome. Many features, extremely easy to use. Great value

One machine for whole family. I love hot coffee and my husband loves tea and my kids love iced coffee. I am so happy that this one machine fulfills the desire of whole family!

I am very much in love with my new coffee system. It took three attempts to purchase it( long story wait for the movie)but it was worth it. I can definitely taste the difference in my brews. I like being able to alternate between tea and coffee. I’ve only had it a few weeks and I can say it’s pretty much payed for itself already.
