saving lots of dollars with not going to Starbucks!

worth for 99. thanks best buy. it make good coffees.

Highly recommended for all every 1 trustful company.

My son and daughter love their’s better than Keurig.

I waited for this product with excitement, a coffee bar, wow. It looks cool and is fairly simple to operate after initially being a bit intimidating. We start our day with a large cup of coffee and let's just say that I have a little coffee with my sweetener AND flavoring. Lol. We make a half carafe, just press the preheat button, fill the water reservoir, add your ground coffee and select 1/2 carafe. Quickly & quietly you get a good cup of coffee. It beeps to let you know when its ready and will keep the pot warm for 2 hours or you can program a hold time you prefer. Frankly it tastes just as good as my cuisine art grind, burr & brew with freshly ground beans. There are a number of options to select different size cups with different strengths. On cold afternoons we have tried some of the recipes in the book that comes with the Ninja. Every option I've tried works well an we've enjoyed the frother attachment. Things are convenient with the attached scoop and frother attachment right on the system. All this being said, a cheap coffee pot with a wire wisk would probably do the job. All of the speciality coffees are pretty much a result of whatever milk and syrup you add, the strength of your brew and the #of cups you choose. It is fun when you have company to let folks choose their own options. We really like our ninja coffee bar and our cuisine art has gone away. But folks, I just don't get why you would pay $6 for specialty coffee when all you need is a frother, syrup and milk/cream. Oh yes, don't forget your favorite coffee blend.

Makes coffee good. Milk frother is a plus. Water container is a little small. Good value.

Its important to know that I have the ability to drink a variety of beverages

Impressive machine. Does everything except real espresso. Very happy with this purchase.

Nice coffie machinefor a the price ...............

Love it but frother broke after one month. However ninja is sending a replacement for free

Works really well and really easy to use. You can also make iced coffee

Good deal for the money would definitely recommend.

Great for the money little confusing at the beginning but once you get the hang of it

I've been slogging along with an old coffee maker for years. It was functional but I was actually a little embarrassed to get it out for coffee when we had company. My old coffee maker was boring and frankly just didn't make a very good cup of coffee. I had been entertaining the idea of a new coffee maker for quite a while then when I came across the Ninja CF091 Coffee Bar. Holy Smokes! A few days later I'm a coffee-bartender making great looking frothed-topped coffees and specialty drinks like a pro and I can't wait to have people over who want coffee! First though, when you first set it up, you are supposed to run it through two cleaning cycles before you put anything through it you actually drink. Heads-up -- each cleaning cycle takes about an hour. The Quick Start guide mentions running an initial clean cycle, but doesn't mention how long it will take. Neither does it mention or explain the "flush" cycle that follows. For those specifics you'll have to read the cleaning section of the full manual. None of it's hard to do, but I do wish the Quick Start had even mentioned the 2nd-stage flush cycle and how long the initial clean was going to take because I was eager to make coffee and thought at first that I was doing something wrong because "it was just sitting there". No marks down for this, the end result is worth the wait, but it's worth noting if your idea of "clean" was to run a few coffee pot cycles of just water with maybe some white vinegar the first time through. Initial setup aside, the final product was an enormous improvement over my previous coffee maker. I bought several types of coffee grounds -- Colombian, Kona, Sumatra, etc -- to try it out on. The Classic button did indeed make a pretty classic tasting cup of coffee, but I quickly became a fan of the Rich Brew button. It makes the same amount of coffee overall as Classic but takes a little longer. The manual says Rich Brew "... flavor that stands up to milk, cream, or flavoring." and I completely concur. I have a pretty standard Orange/Mocha drink that I really love (and used to pay $5 a cup for before I could make it myself with my Ninja Coffee Bar) and I can easily taste the coffee flavor coming through when I make it using Rich Brew vs Classic Brew. Make no mistake, I think both Classic and Rich produce an excellent cup of coffee, it's just a matter of taste, but if you want some more punch from the exact same amount of grounds, Rich Brew might just be the coffee drinking buddy you've been looking for. The frother attachment is simple, easy to clean, and way more fun than I thought it would be! I'm an experimenter though and like to "wing it" so the first time I used it I ended up with about 6 inches of froth on top of what was supposed to be a basic Cafe Au Lait! I quickly learned to use just enough milk/cream to get the desired result though, but it's fun to experiment and I encourage you to have fun with it! The reusable filter is adequate and nice in principal but I found that a small amount of grounds got through and into every cup of coffee I've made using pre-ground beans. If you grind your own or just use coarser grounds though I think that might not even be an issue. There are many more options, but suffice to say that I'm happy... my wife is happy... my kids are happy. This thing is flexible coffee-fun and definitely NOT something I'm embarrassed to serve guests with.
