Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just another Holiday gift from Bestbuy at a great price shopping made easy i was in and out.

I rarely drank specialty coffees before getting this. I quickly learned how to mix my own. I'm hooked!!

This was a Christmas gift to my wife. She enjoys it everyday.

This machine has been a real life saver, not only do i save money from making my coffee at home but i can customize my drinks

It is a very good coffee maker. makes coffee quickly and quietly

Loved the idea of this machine - being able to use both pods and grounds with larger cup options. We have had this machine over a month now and can only use the grounds option. We have tried multiple brands and styles of pods but every time it fills our cup with the grounds from the pod. It’s not just a couple grounds it’s basically the entire pod leaks through into the cup. I’m not sure if it’s the water going thru too fast that they just spill over or what but we have over 100 pods we haven’t been able to use because it would just be a waste. Honestly can’t believe we are the only ones with this problem as this machine has a lot of great reviews - which is why I bought it.

I could not have done better buy prepare the coffee very fast I love

I’m obsessed! I’m the only person who drinks coffee here and I love that I can make as big or small a cup as I want without wasting!

Provides multiple brewing options in one appliance.

Excellent coffee machine, best one so far that I have used.

As a passionate coffee lover, I've recently experienced a revolution in my morning routine with the Ninja Specialty Single-Serve Coffee Maker. This sleek, black machine has completely transformed my at-home coffee experience. I am replaced my 2019 Keurig coffee maker. And It’s been a month since I began using this machine. Firstly, the versatility of this coffee maker is unparalleled. It's not just limited to K-Cup pods; it graciously accommodates both pods and ground coffee, allowing me to enjoy a wide variety of brews. Whether I'm in the mood for a quick espresso shot or a leisurely, flavorful cup, this machine has me covered. One standout feature is the built-in milk frother. It effortlessly creates creamy, frothy goodness that elevates my coffee to cafe-quality levels. Cappuccinos, lattes, or even a simple frothed milk for my regular brew, it's all possible with this fantastic addition. Another small feature, is the ability to adjust height of the base to your cup size to prevent spills, I appreciate the customization options it offers. The multiple brew sizes cater to my varying caffeine needs throughout the day, ensuring I can have just the right amount without any waste. Plus, the adjustable brew strength allows me to tailor the richness of each cup to suit my preferences perfectly. Cleanup is a breeze, thanks to the detachable water reservoir and drip tray. The machine's design seems intuitive, and maintaining it has been hassle-free. The sleek, modern design not only adds an aesthetic appeal to my kitchen but also speaks volumes about its quality and functionality. The machine feels robust and well-built, instilling confidence in its longevity. It also does not take up much space as my previous coffee machine. However, like any product, it's not without minor cons. The machine can be a tad noisy during the brewing process, but the resulting delicious cup of coffee makes it a negligible issue for me. Made a Latte for the first time, came out delicious, better than purchasing from Dunkin or Starbucks, as I can adjust the sugar level to my liking. In conclusion, the Ninja - Pods & Grounds Specialty Single-Serve Coffee Maker has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Its versatility, ease of use, and ability to produce top-notch coffee beverages make it a worthy investment for any coffee aficionado. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking barista-quality coffee from the comfort of their home.

Cool machine, but not ultimately, it's not good. Leaves tons of grounds in the bottom of my cup every time I use a K-Cup. I have tried different brands of K-Cups, and the results are the same, a mouthful of grounds as you get to the bottom of the cup. I strongly recommend that you DO NOY BUY!

Love this unit. First off, I love the compact size. This replaced a much larger unit of a different brand. I now have so much more counter space. Right off the bat, I see a lot of thought went into designing this unit. It has everything you need and it is all laid out perfectly. It is well made and seems very durable. Set up was a breeze and I was brewing my first cup of coffee in just minutes. After priming the unit, you are all ready to go. I love the all the sizes of coffee it will make. So many options. I love the storage compartments for all the accessories. Nothing to put in kitchen drawers and search for. For me, I love the convenience of using a pod when I’m short on time, but also being able to use my favorite regular coffee grounds when I have more time. It takes about 20 seconds to switch the filters from pod to coffee ground filter. Love that! The pods fit perfectly and brew perfectly. The attached frother is an amazing bonus. It pops right out and is easy to use and is easy to take off to clean. Brewing time is fast and you can fit about any size cup or travel mug under the spout. I also love the large water storage container. Overall I love this thing and it is the perfect brewer. I could not be happier and it I hope it gives me years and years of reliable service. This is a home run! Ninja did it and this coffee maker my perfect counter unit!!!

The Ninja PB051 is a very compact, yet versatile little coffee maker. It has a very slim profile, which is great if counter space is in short supply for you. It's about the width of my coffee mug. The platform is adjustable which is nice if you have low/wide cups. You can avoid spatter Set up is easy, you can pop a pod or after swapping the basket which stores nicely in the side, you can put grounds in. There are multiple variations of what you can brew, as well as what size your mug is. The pours are fairy consistent. My mug holds 12 Oz (verified with measuring cup) to the brim. I set it to 10 Oz to leave room for milk/sugar. A couple times that it was left at 12oz for people that didn't add anything, I had to swap another mug because it kept going. Did an extra couple ounces. Best to do some water test runs to figure out your personal mugs magic number I'll have to do more research to see if it's something on my end (maybe different amounts of grounds) The reservoir is large enough that you can churn out 4 or 5 cups (depending on mug size) before refilling. Instead of boiling it all at once then dispensing, it seems like it dispenses as it boils, because it'll drip a bit then pause, then continue. You won't be confused though because there's a progress bar along the top and it will beep when it's done. Clean up is quick, basket lid flips up and pops out allowing a quick rinse. The nozzle also pops straight off so you can give it a wash The Frother on the side is cool for lattes. It flips out and is simple to operate (press button atop the arm) my kids love their matcha lattes.

I’ve been using the Ninja Pods & Grounds Specialty Single-Serve Coffee Maker for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed with how versatile and easy it is to use. I love that I can switch between using K-Cup pods and ground coffee depending on what I have on hand. The iced coffee feature works great—it brews strong enough that it doesn’t taste watered down when poured over ice. The foldaway milk frother is such a nice touch and makes it super easy to whip up a quick latte or cappuccino at home. It’s compact enough to fit on my kitchen counter without taking up too much space. The only downside I’ve noticed is that it can be a little loud while brewing, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, it’s a solid machine and has quickly become part of my daily routine.

I have a 12 cup ninja coffee maker that took up a lot of space, and since I’m the only one drinking coffee, I wanted something smaller. This ninja maker also makes a great cup of coffee when using your own grounds, and I happed to find a small 4 cup carafe that perfectly fits on the movable tray for making up to the 18 ounce size, thus I enjoy several cups t a time. I’ve tried espresso pods for lattes and they are great and this brews fast, a bit noisy when heating up but not a big deal for me.

The Ninja PB051 is a nice coffee maker. The water reservoir can hold up to 56oz (according to the manual regarding the cleaning process).I really like the form factor. It is not too wide or too tall. I can fit it in different areas of the kitchen. I will eventually use it in my home office and the size is perfect. The LCD screen is easy to read and bright enough for me. The interface is fairly easy to use. There are buttons to control the size and how taste (style). The brew button starts the brewing process. It has an adapter storage bin for the permanent filter. This is great. It’s compact and I won’t have to worry about losing pieces. One thing to note is the pod to use with coffee grounds. I have another Ninja coffee maker. My old Keurig pod did not work. It has a hole in the center of the cover. But the other Ninja coffee maker has three nozzles. So my old adapter did not work. I had to purchase new ones. This Ninja PB051 has one nozzle so I can use my old pods. Either way, I had both adapters. So the three main things I really like are the size. It’s compact compared to my other coffee makers I had in the past. The size of the water reservoir is more than adequate. And the storage for the adapters.

My kitchen is slowly being taken over by Ninja appliances. This is because I have yet to find one that doesn't exceed my expectations. Short version: This coffee maker works great, is easy to maintain (so far), and is thoughtfully made. It works with ground coffee or K-Cups and is the best single-serve machine I have found. I highly recommend it! The longer version: So far in my experience Ninja makes superior coffee to other mainstream brands that cost below $200; the temperatures are perfect and the coffee tastes great. The water tank holds a great amount of water where it doesn't need refilled constantly and where it doesn't take up too much space. It is removeable so you can easily take it to the sink to refill it. The whole area where the coffee is made is easily removable and easy to clean. There is a spoon to measure coffee grounds that shows how much to use based on how big of a cup you are using. It has storage on the side of the machine. The mechanism that switches between grounds and k-cups is stored in the bottom of the machine! I don't have to find drawer/cabinet space to store it or potentially use it when I don't use the K-Cups for too long. Very thoughtful design. The drip tray can be moved to different heights to help prevent splashing. Has a removable (for easy cleaning) frother. Not something I will really use, but it is a nice touch. I honestly have no complaints. Especially for the price point of this machine.

This coffee maker is a total game-changer for my morning routine! The Ninja Pods & Grounds system gives me the flexibility to use both K-Cups and my favorite ground coffee, which is a huge plus. Whether I’m in a rush or want to savor a fresh brew, it’s got me covered. The specialty brew setting is fantastic for making rich, café-style drinks at home, and the foldaway milk frother is a brilliant touch—it works like a charm for lattes and cappuccinos. I also love the iced coffee feature; it brews directly over ice without watering it down, which is perfect for hot days. Setup was simple, and the sleek black design looks great on my kitchen counter. If you're looking for a versatile, reliable, and stylish single-serve coffee maker, this one is a winner. Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

This Ninja didn't disappoint. Makes a great hot cup of coffee/tea. Uses ground or k cups without any problems. Like that it stores everything on the unit so you won't misplace anything and still slim enough where it doesn't take up much counter space. Worth every penny.
