Excellent compact versatile coffee maker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such an amazing design and very user friendly! This machine has a sleek, modern look and so many brew options including classic, rich, extra rich and specialty brew. I love that you can use either coffee grounds or K-Cups, along with six different ounce amounts. This coffee maker has an unique brew over ice feature that I have not seen in another model. This is so great because it will not create a watered-down version of an iced coffee! My favorite feature is the collapsible milk frother. So quick and easy to use while waiting for coffee to brew, then easily tucks away for compact storage. I really love that the cup platform is adjustable. This really helps with controlling the pour for a mess free process. My only complaint is that I do wish this machine was compatible with the reusable K-cup filter. Having that added feature would be much more eco-friendly and cost-effective option. The machine is very compact and fits nicely on a standard countertop, plus all of the attachments and optional compartments easily tuck into each other. I really like the length of the electrical cord, as it can easily be tucked behind a cabinet for a seamless appearance. The instruction manual was very clear on how to clean and prep this machine for first use. The packaging Nicely covered the machine and all compartments for perfect protection. This is a wonderful addition to our home, and I highly recommend it!

The true Ninja of Coffee makers
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja PB051 is a nice compact size and it bring back the real taste of coffee. This coffee maker is really nice for the following reasons, The footprint is nice and compact, you have the option to use the coffee grounds or the cups, the water capacity is up to 54 oz and it gives you the options on how concentrated you want your coffee to be and the size you want. The coffee marker is very easy to use and cleanup is a breeze. The machine has storage space for the ground coffee permanent filter when using cups. It does have its own measuring spoon that is stored on the side of the machine. Over all i am very satisfied with this coffee maker and the options you have right at your fingertips. The drip tray can be lowered or raised depending on your coffee cup size. The amount of coffee to be brewed can be selected as 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 oz for the normal but does also have a specialty brew that is preset at 4oz. Just the option this coffee machine gives you make it worth every bit and totally would recommend to a friend.

Very Impressive!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Ninja Pods & Grounds Specialty Single Serve Coffee Maker used both K-cups and ground coffee to make a variety of coffee drinks. The machine is sleek and has a small footprint. It has a decent size water reservoir although I wish it were it had a little larger capacity. A handy 1 Tbs. coffee scoop is attached to the side. There's also on-board storage for the coffee filter attachment, which simply swaps out for the k-cup attachment. It's tall enough to be able to pour directly into most 16 or 20oz mugs. The top features a display where you can select the style and size of the brew, as well as the power and brew button. Illuminated icons show whether it's set to brew k-cups or fresh grind, and a progress bar shows how much longer is left before the brew is complete. The power is on a timer, so it will auto-shut off -- you can't set it to leave the water on. There is also no temperature adjustment. Measuring the drink temp as it was brewed an 8 oz cup of coffee showed about 175F at the start and finished at about 195F. Using the filter and fresh ground coffee, a 24oz cup using the "rich" setting took about 4 minutes, and the finished temp in the cup was 182F. Using a k-cup and an 8oz "over ice" setting resulted in a delicious iced coffee. Using a k-cup and "specialty" setting results in a strong, espresso-like brew, which was surprisingly decent. The Ninja has a handy frother to aerate milk, but the milk needs to be heated separately in a microwave. Overall the Ninja is a very flexible single server coffee machine that allows for several styles of coffee drinks with either ground coffee or k-cups, and the results are very good, at a budget that results in quite a good value. It has permanently replaced my standard single-brew Keurig as my main single-brew coffee maker.

Fantastic Coffee Maker!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm really impressed with this compact coffee maker. It has exceeded my expectations compared to its larger counterpart. This little machine delivers everything you would expect from a coffee maker, but in a single cup format. We use the typical double-wall steel cups to keep our drinks hot, so the single-serve option works perfectly for us. The versatility of this machine is outstanding, accommodating various cup sizes and offering multiple brewing options. Whether I'm in the mood for a hot chocolate or a large brew, it handles it all effortlessly. What sets this coffee maker apart is its ability to brew both ground coffee with its built-in filter and coffee pods. While I primarily use ground coffee, it's convenient to have the option to use pods on occasions or when they're given as gifts. No more cutting open pods and discarding the grounds thanks to the reusable filter, which also includes a cover for even water distribution over the coffee. The device features different brewing settings, including classic, rich, iced, and specialty, with a 4oz option. You can also select your desired serving size, ranging from 6 to 24oz. With just a press of a button, your cup will be ready to enjoy in a matter of minutes. One hidden gem of this coffee maker is the built-in frother, cleverly tucked away on the side. It flips out for easy use and can be detached for effortless cleaning. The kids especially love using the frother to add milk froth to their hot chocolate, and it gets the job done quickly. Refilling the water tank is a breeze as it's located at the back and pops out easily for refills. The compact footprint of this machine is another advantage, as it doesn't take up much counter space. Additionally, it provides convenient storage for the frother, grind scoop, and any unused options (pod or ground). Although this coffee maker is slightly taller and just clears my upper cabinets when opening, it's worth it for the accessibility it offers while brewing. I can add cream and sugar to my cup while it's brewing, saving me a quick 30 seconds per cup. Overall, I am delighted with this coffee maker and its impressive features. It's the perfect choice for a single cup brewing experience, offering versatility, convenience, and a compact design.

Glad We Switched!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.we replaced our Keurig (4th one) and I wanted to change brands and decided on this Ninja! So happy we did! It has been great! It is easy to use and makes great coffee! I love the larger basket for loose grounds and the fact that is can make up to 24oz of at one time and the "Over Ice" option is even better!!

A new entry level coffee maker for the rest of us.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really liked this coffee maker. It was extremely easy to put together. It was super eazy to get going within a few minutes. I was impressed with the packaging. Everything was already in place and connected. I literally took it out of the box. Removed a few pieces of tape holing things in places. Followed the directions to do the prime coffee set. I actually did an extra one and based on the smell it was a good idea. But then the next set was running through to make coffee and wow. It tastes great, was very simple, and extremely user friendly. I recently hurt my arm and my teenage daughter helped me set it all up. She was impressed for someone who does not drink coffee. It looks good in our kitchen. It does not take up a lot of extra counter space. The neat thing about it, is that it has several built in areas to store the extra pieces. It even has an extra compartment to store whichever brewing type, normal coffee grounds, or K-cups, that you are not using. It was very easy to clean up afterwards and to reuse. I recommend this for every coffee drinker with limited counter space or a limited budget but needs convenience.

Ninja has done it again - Coffee shop comes home!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ninja PB051 Single-Serve Specialty Coffee Maker is a whole home or office coffee solution for those who like a simple gut-rot black cup of drip coffee, K-cup blends, or you prefer the fruffy, specialty coffee shop blend of milk, half and half, foamed with a dust of something style coffee... The Ninja PB051 can help this become a reality without the 25% tip! Drip, frothed, foamed, steamed, you name it, the Ninja can do it. This self-contained unit has nearly all the functions of a coffee shop espresso maker machine without the cost for equipment and staffing. My wife is a coffee connoisseur and like her cups just-so. She found this unit to be easy to use, produced coffee the way she likes it, but with options if she wanted to have a 2nd cup or a late afternoon pick-me-up without all the fuss of steaming or frothing. PROS - Ninja brand, quality, and innovations for the home or office - Coffee as you like it, on your terms, without the hassle - K-cup compatible makes this a easy unit to replace your bigger bulker K-cup unit - Small footprint on your countertop for easy daily use CONS - None at this time.

Compact Coffee Maker with lots of features!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently picked up Ninja Coffee maker (model PB051) and I am pretty pleased with it. Sp the Ninja PB051 is a single-serve coffee maker that can brew coffee from grounds or pods. I am not a huge fan of pods however when you are in a hurry and want a quick cup of coffee, this Ninja coffee maker will brew it for you in seconds. I also like that this coffee maker has a compact footprint, so it won't take a lot of your counter space, and I found that I can store it neatly away. Another great feature of this small but practical coffee maker is you can use the Ninja PB051 to brew coffee in four different styles: classic, rich, over ice, and specialty. You can also use the "specialty brew" option to make espresso-like beverages. I made a few lattes and love that this coffee maker has a frother! It will turn hot or cold milk/milk alternative into silky-smooth froth so you can make your favorite macchiatos, cappuccinos, and other coffeehouse-style drinks. You can also fold away the frother for easy storage. One thing I would suggest for future developments of this coffee maker is to make the frother out of stainless steel. This is really a nice coffee maker, definitely spouse approved and what is more important it makes a perfect cup of coffee!

Nice little machine
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a backup to my larger all in one coffee maker, also because it's easier to use already ground coffee and pods. The all in one works great for coffee beans, not grounds. Anyway, I Love the coffee this little Ninja makes! The larger all in one coffee maker that I payed $800 for impresses the guest and all, and does make a great cup of joe. So, when no one is looking I brew a cup from my little Ninja and, I hate to say it, but with fresh grounds, the coffee is as good or better than the big expensive machine! And my large to go cup fits under it, and no maintenance!

Better Than Keurig
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having used this item for over a month, I feel comfortable sharing my opinion. This single cup brewer does exactly what the description says. It comes as advertised. My wife is first in the morning and as a tea drinker she uses it to dispense hot water in her cup with a tea bag. Simple. I’m the ground coffee guy so the insert for that is already in place. The unit also features a K cup insert if you prefer…it’s nice to have two options. If I could change anything with this machine it would be a shorter dispense time. It takes a good 5 minutes for a cup. But then again maybe the brew time is what makes the coffee so good. I will not hesitate to recommend this unit.
