We moved to a new house and I bought this coffee machine and it works perfectly, very reliably and easy to use!

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.

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!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Ninja Coffee Maker. We’re glad to hear you find the machine’s concept appealing, but we’re sorry to learn about the issue with coffee grounds in your cup when using K-Cups. This is not the experience we want for our customers, and we understand how frustrating this must be.
Coffee grounds in your cup could be caused by the needle not puncturing the K-Cup properly or an issue with the brewing mechanism. We’d love the opportunity to help troubleshoot this for you and provide steps to ensure optimal performance. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at 1-800-365-0135 for personalized assistance.
Your feedback is invaluable in helping us refine our products, and we’d like the chance to improve your experience. Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts, and we’re here to help resolve this for you.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend

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.
