Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

The Ninja Coffee Brewer can brew coffee using a permanent filter or a #4 paper filter. I first sampled coffee by placing a paper filter in first and selecting Classic Brew. The coffee came out good but had a bitter taste. I then decided to Brew coffee with the permanent filter and selected the Rich setting. The coffee had no bitter taste and tasted smooth. My family and I all agreed that we enjoyed the Rich setting better than the paper filter setting. I am a coffee lover and could drink the coffee in either setting. But if you like a smooth flavor to your coffee, I recommend the Rich setting. The coffee takes about 12 to 15 minutes to brew. My favorite parts of the coffee brewer are: 1) the measuring spoon attaches to the coffee maker 2) the ability to set the time I want the coffee to brew, 3) having options of what type the type of coffee I would like for example (classic or rich brew) 4) being able to set the timer off when I want the coffee maker to start brewing the coffee 5) the ability to pull the carafe off the coffee maker in mid-brew 6) the fact the coffee brewer will turn off after it has been left on for an extended time. This helps me greatly as I live with elderly family in the house who sometimes forgets to power the machine off. When filling the water reservoir, I would prefer glass instead of the container being made of plastic because it makes me wonder if the measurement of the cups will eventually come off. Other than that, I like the product. It gets the job done!

If you need to place this under a cabinet DON’T!! It will ruin your cabinets. Gives off way too much steam.

IT LOOK NICE AND BREWS GOOD COFFEE. FITS NICELY ON THE COUNTER. NOT MUCH TO WRITE ON THIS, REASONLY PRICED

We went through a few coffee makers before we came upon this one. Love the look, ease of use and features, but especially the consistancy of a good cup of coffee! The removeable water container is easy to handle. The small batch setting makes a great couple cups of joe. And the self storing measuring spoon on the side is fantastic. I love this coffee maker, no complaints.

Makes coffee like a dream. I have been using the delay brew option lately and its nice waking up to the smell of coffee. Brews perfectly, zero issues. Easy to clean. Reusable basket or takes filters. Large capacity water, makes enough coffee for a few people. I would definitely recommend if you need a new coffee maker.

My husband and I drink at least a pot a day. We go through coffee makers very quickly. This coffee maker is the best we have purchased. The carafe does not leak or spill when you pour. The design is sleek. I love the reservoir for the water. It's easy to fill and lift. The timer works great! And my husband loves the 4 cup option if he wants to make coffee at night. Ninja made the perfect coffee maker for my husband and I!

Detachable water tank easy to use. Permits filling and cleaning easily. Enjoy the strength selections. Every permanent filter I’ve used leaves some residue in the bottom of the pit but this is quite low.

Makes good hot coffee. The only thing I don’t like is it spills when refilling water.

I am really happy with this coffee maker. It is easy to use, the coffee tastes great, and I no longer spill when pouring into my mug. It is to see how much water has been added and it is easy to fill the detachable reservoir. The coffee tastes great. It has multiple settings and once you find what you like it is easy to make a perfect pot each time. It comes with a built in scoop but the scoop is on the small side so I use a digital scale to measure out a full pot of coffee. The smaller pots I sometimes make using their 1-4 cups setting also come out great. Easy to use the front panel for selecting how you are brewing. Since I make a large pot I use the stay warm feature to keep it hot longer. I had read that it emits a lot of steam at the end of the brewing cycle. It does seem to emit more than other coffee makers, but it is not at all a problem for me because it is on a counter in the open. Not sure if it would cause a problem for folks in some situations, so just making that observation.

Overall, this is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. Admittedly, I have always gone for the $20 Mr. Coffee makers in the past...I used to put up with all manner of leaking, buttons malfunctioning, lukewarm coffee temperatures, and, worst of all, the wretched plastic taste. I would always end up going back to the French press for the taste. I wanted something programmable and easy without sacrificing flavor. This coffee maker absolutely meets that need. I wake up to near pour-over flavor coffee every morning now. Here are my highlights: -Flavor: The most important factor for me. It tastes excellent and is customizable. I especially appreciate that not only can you select small batch, but you can combine this setting with "classic" or "rich." I typically only make coffee for myself, so this is amazing. Not many reviews seem to mention this, but the "shower head" spout is one of its best features. The water evenly drips through all parts of the grounds and is more comparable to the pour over method. More expensive coffee makers feature this, but not many in this price range. Nice! (I was a little worried that all the plastic inside (stainless steel only on the exterior) would give it a bad taste, but I am picking up no weird plastic taste.) Ease of Use: Very easy. The water basin detaches for easy filling, the parts are easy to clean, the buttons feel high quality, programming and setting the time works as intended. The coffee scooper attached to the side is pretty gimmicky to me, but can be convenient I'll admit. Build Quality/Design: Good, but not perfect. It looks nice, albeit a bit aggressive appearing. It might be too large for some crowded counter spaces as it seems to be moderately bigger than other 12 cup brewers. The stainless steel looks great, but most of the inside is sadly pure plastic. Luckily, it hasn't given off any weird flavors or smells. The biggest con: The steam. It is not a deal-breaker, but this coffee maker sure does steam a lot while brewing. And I mean a lot. It can be an issue if you are placing it right under a cabinet space, but it hasn't posed any problems for me.

Absolute LOVE this coffee pot. This particular design is amazing. Removable water reservoir to fill, to leaking from the lid when you poor a cup of coffee.

Finally upgraded from my old $20 coffee maker. Love this one, coffee seems to taste better! Easy to use, not too many buttons to confuse my "getting slower, old brain" !

It is a decent coffee machine for big brews for small office or heavy drinker of brewed coffee. It is bulky size plus, does not have “over the ice” for hot summer days which comes in very handy. If you expect dark, rich and concentrated flavor from the “pods”, this machine is not suitable for you. This could be viewed as a little upscale version of Mr. Coffee. In the attachment comparison with same ninja brand but model "Ninja® Coffee Brewer with Auto-iQ (CF021)" Rated based on the availability of basic functionality for coffee brewing at msrp price point.

There is only the two of us and we used our Keurig single cup more than anything. With winter upon us our company would drink more hot drinks than anything but our Mr Coffee quit working. So I went on a search for a new coffee maker and I found this 12-Cup Coffee maker. We own several Ninja kitchen products and love them a lot so why not their coffee maker. I really like the cone shape reusable filter and by the taste of it this makes better tasting coffee. The removable water reservoir makes it so easy and less messy to fill. If you want 1 cup of coffee this maker is the one for you. Most morning I make 4 cups but my Yeti cup will hold at least 3 cups so making 4 is great for me. There is a small batch button that makes 1-4 and this is what I use daily. As with most Ninja appliances there is a beep that alerts you when the coffee is done no matter if it is 1 cup or 12 cups. It will keep your coffee left in the pot hot for 1 - 4 hours depending on the time you set in the setting. I just left it on 2 hours. The lid may be difficult at first but once you get the hang of how the lid actually fits on the Carafe it is so nice. It kind of snaps on in groves and then locks on so there is no chance of it falling off. The coffee runs through the top and down a straw like device under the lid so it can distribute the coffee and flavor all over instead of going in one spot. One of the best parts of the Carafe is the spout. It is constructed so there is little to no chance of spilling while pouring coffee or dripping after pouring. I think it really works as described. The coffee is hot and with the warming plate on it will stay hot. If you make your coffee the night before and want it to start brewing the next morning at a certain time there is a delayed brew button for that. You just have to select that button and set the time. If you are like me, I forget when I last cleaned my coffee pot and the best part is after a couple hundred pots there is a clean button that will light up to remind you of this. The time is easy to set as well. This coffee maker has never let me down or disappointed me in anyway. If you are in search of a coffee maker this one is for you.

Excellent! The Best Buy salesman recommended it and it's been working great. V happy.

Coffe taste good. I just dont like that it makes too much noise when its brewing the coffee. It's easy to clean n water reservoir is great. I can see the numbers

Does a perfect job making coffee and I like the coffee maker of not needing a coffee filter. Easy to prepare the night before with the timer accessory.

My coffee pot went out on me. I purchased this as a replacement and have loved it. It is easy to clean and makes great coffee.
