Easy to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The coffee maker works fast and is easy to operate. The frother is easy to use but does not heat the milk. The instructions say to use the microwave to heat the milk. Well worth the price tag.

Goodbye Keurig. My new best Ninja friend.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thank you Best Buy and Ninja. I have only used Keurig in the past, but this was a chance I decided to take and am SO happy I did. Works great with both coffee pods and grounds. I am now a Ninja convert. Coffee taste is superior with both pods and grounds.

Wish I would’ve purchased this months ago
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like that you have the option to either use ground coffee or a K cup, although I haven’t used a K cup since purchasing it, a few weeks ago. They do make paper filters that you can use inside the basket. It makes clean up a little easier. I found the filters on Amazon.

Great Coffee
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this couple of months ago. Brews pods and ground coffee similarly, no residue. Great taste and amazing frother. Over the Ice option allows cold coffee choice. Very handy for the price range.

Love this coffee maker!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After some frustration with my old keurig i decided to make the switch to ninja. So far im very happy with it! The storage space alone is enough to buy it. The built in frother is a huge bonus. All in all im sooo happy with this little guy.

Great design, unacceptable coffee.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really thoughtful design meets really crappy tasting coffee. No more buying Ninjas for me. The first one I purchased was the 12 cup. That one resulted in bitter, undeveloped coffee. And so did this single serve offering, except it was even more watered down. I used filtered water. I tried three different coffee types - grounds from PEET's and Amazon, and a pod from Dunkin'. Yes, all quite fresh and bought especially to use with the Ninjas. I used the classic option and brewed between 10 and 12 ounces using the suggested amount for grounds, then a little bit less, then a bit more...to get the exact same result. Underdeveloped and weak, bitter, muddy and watery results. Even when it was brewing, no delightful aroma emerged. The brewed cups smelled unappealing. I went and bought Dunkin pods today to finish my experiment. While it brewed the single pod in one minute vs. the three minutes for brewing the grounds, the result was practically identical. The pod coffee was only a tad more developed, yet still watery using 10 ounces. Using the previous coffee machine I bought - the 12 cup Ninja- I had the same poor results with the classic and the rich brews so I felt there was not much point in continuing to squander coffee and $ trying various permutations of settings. Other failures include the instruction manual which includes irrelevant and thus very confusing information, as it covers an entire range of their pod makers and doesn't specify which instructions applicable to which models. For example, it says there are two upper and lower needles on the unit. And that a front nozzle comes off to clean. These are not features of the PB051. And then the customer specialist online was sadly useless. Clearly not familiar with the tech specs of this item, she could not offer simple and concise answers to straightforward questions, and after an hour of pointless dialog, she uploaded the user guide that I already have, and it addressed absolutely none of the issues that I need answers on. So, a mere two stars for the unit as I do think this design is really nice and so wanted the unit to produce flavorful coffee. I will also say I am NO coffee snob. I've been drinking instant and that was far more full-bodied than this. So. Buh bye Ninja.
