Love this coffee maker for using pods or grounds. It allows you to choose your strength, size and even if making ice coffee. I definitely recommend it over the other main brand. I haven’t used the frother yet, but it looks to relatively easy to use and clean. I of course use a better brand of coffee because I can’t tolerate some of cheaper brands anymore, but I still think it’s the unit that makes the difference.

We have purchased multiple Keurig’s since they first came out and after the last one finally broke I was ready for a change. Drinking multiple cups of coffee and tea I was excited to try the Ninja option. Its easy to operate and not an eyesore on the counter. Guests love to use it when they come to my house. Would recommend the switch.

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!

I LOVE, LOVE this wonderful Ninja coffee maker!!! Best appliance I have in my kitchen. I have always had keurig’s, until the last one I bought that never worked right. Then I saw this great Ninja and decided to try it. Boy, was I delighted! Brews FAST, HOT with no mess to clean up AND to top it off ~ has an attached whipper that makes wonderful whipped topping for Lattes. To say I am sold on my Ninja, is THE understatement of the year!!! I’m hooked ~ Gimme That Thing!!! Sipping a Latte now. ☕️

Love Ninja products! Ever since coffee pods came out I’ve owned Keurig products, and they all break! Decided to try this Ninja pod coffee maker (have lots of other Ninja appliances that I love) and this is one of the best pod coffee makers ever!! Simple to use, coffee tastes great. Love the storage compartment and the capability to brew loose coffee as well! Have not used the frother yet, however the application of it is clean and easy instructions

Excellent machine. Easy to use, easy to clean, takes up very little space, and nicely designed.
I would recommend this to a friend

I'll start by saying, I absolutely love this brewer! I've had an all in one for about 3 yrs that I've been looking to replace lately. It had the frother and multiple options for brew strength or iced. But the footprint was fairly large, wide specifically. This Ninja brewer contains all options I prior had, while also adding in a permanent filter for grounds or Kcups, whichever one you aren't using stores beautifully in the side. It's also so slim, albeit a little long in depth, but this design works perfect for what I want. I rarely used my prior frother, maybe a few times a month, but it was something I still wanted and didn't want an extra piece of hardware to hide aware somewhere. This model has it flip out and just pushing the button on top it works great. This Ninja brewer has an adjustable mug deck, so as to accommodate all varying sizes of cups/travel mugs. It also has a good variation on brew size, for Kcups, 6, 8, 10, 12oz. For grounds, it does all the way up to 24oz in a single brew. It also includes a measuring spoon for your grounds that is built into the side of the machine as well. Water capacity is fantastic and easy to refill by either removing the top or the container as a whole. All this while also being easily cleanable with dishwasher safe parts, which is soooo important if you want consistently good tasting coffee. I enjoy my coffee strong, and this didn't disappoint with its "Rich" setting. You also have the ability to brew stronger 4oz shots for use in lattes/cappuccinos, as well as a specific "iced" coffee option. My only gripe is the lid to open and close does feel a bit rough to open at times, like I might pull to hard and flip it over, or push down to hard and cracks something. The puncture needles are only plastic, compared to some models being actual metal, so we'll see how it holds up from after a hundred Kcups. Hoping the motion improves, I suppose that might be the one area my prior Cafe brewer wins out, as it's mechanism used opposing leverage points to ease the closing. Overall though, this is a fantastic brewer with all the options, and you can tell Ninja put great thought into it's design/function, which I absolutely love.

The Ninja Coffee Maker was easy to assemble and very easy to use. I love the options available and the froth option is a great addition. Also, it's a good space saver for my crowded countertop. I like the capacity of the water well.

Love this! Wife loves this ( that’s what really matters). Very simple, couple options and great results. Have had house parties and people love to make their own if needed with pod and also kids for hot chocolate bar.

As someone who has owned this Ninja coffee maker for over a year, I can confidently say it's been a great investment. The ability to use both pods and grounds gives me the flexibility to choose my favorite beans or opt for the convenience of K-Cups. The milk frother is a fantastic feature, creating smooth and creamy foam for my favorite coffee drinks. The machine itself is easy to clean and maintain, and the design is sleek and modern. If you're in the market for a single-serve coffee maker, I highly recommend giving this Ninja a try.

I purchased this machine because i was setting up a tea and hot chocolate bar and it fit perfectly. I love that it has the slender body shape, more than the usual cup sizes, an adjustable platform for your cup to sit on so when the water dispenses it goes in the cup and not all over the counter and finally very impressed with the froth handle. What a great addition to the machine.

This single use coffee maker by Ninja is a winner. The coffee maker is a multi use unit. You can make coffee through pods. Make coffee from grounds and make specialty coffee.
We are mainly a pod family and the Keurig pods worked flawlessly in the Ninja as well as an off brand pod that we buy. The coffee is nice and hot. To be honest I find this Ninja coffee maker makes coffee hotter than the Keurig machine which is a plus. Don't want to use pods? Go ahead and use the grounds option. That too works great. Simply use the brew basket and your favorite grounds. There are multiple cup size options. The coffee itself can be brewed as classic, rich, over ice or as a specialty option. Then there is a frother that is attached to the body of the coffee maker and swings away allowing you to fit the coffee maker in tight spaces. There is everything here for the coffee lover. Another genius feature is keeping all the parts onboard. The brew baskets are stored on the body as well as the measuring spoon. The large water reservoir means less frequent trips to the sink to fill it up. We are enjoying trying the specialty options because as I said we are primary pod users. Ninja makes great products. This is another one. I highly recommend.

After having this product for about a week, I have to say I really like it!
While I enjoy coffee from time to time, I appreciate the versatility of this machine. Not only can it make coffee, but it's great for tea and hot cocoa as well. Additionally, it has come in handy whenever I've needed hot water for other things such as cup noodles or instant rice.
It's able to use k-cups or ground coffee easily with parts that are included. It's relatively easy to swap between the K-cup insert and the ground coffee insert with no unnecessary hassle. It is single serve which is perfect for me. Cleaning it is pretty straightforward as well. The water reservoir is removable and the system has a self-clean function which seems to mean that it runs hot water through all the inner parts and flushes it all out. No crusty coffee! haha.
It also comes with a frother attachment that can be tucked away when not in use and easily removed for cleaning. You can pick different options for the drink size as well! There are 6 oz, 8 oz, 10 oz, 12 oz, 14 oz, 18 oz, and 24 oz options. There's also a setting for iced drinks which is perfect with summer just around the corner.
Overall, this appliance packs a punch and is very versatile!

Exactly what we wanted. Great versatility: single cup or more, grounds, pods, multiple sizes and strengths, easy to clean. Small footprint. Well thought out on-board storage for the scoop and accessories you don’t need at the moment; keeps them handy, but neatly tucked away until you want them.

This is a nice Ninja coffee maker its really slim and well made it makes great coffee I like the settings and all the features I caught it on sale at a great price..

This is simply the best single cup or pod brewing system I’ve ever experienced. The taste is similar to that of a brewed pot if coffee which I enjoy and prefer. I really love that you can use a K-Cup or grounds and both make a well rounded and perfect cup of coffee. The design is sleek an slim. The functionality is simplistic and the buttons are placed perfectly in my opinion. There are many options for cup size a coffee richness as well as an option for iced coffee. The milk frothing option is a sweet bonus. I love this machine and would highly recommended it.

It takes up very little space on the counter. It does so many different things, and it is very easy to use and clean.
As a tip, use a disposable filter with the ground coffee. It makes cleaning the reusable pod so easy. The coffee is very hot and it's easy to control the strength. It also makes a great cappuccino or mocha. Love the built in frother. The price is very good for the value, especially if you watch for a sale. I should have ditched the better know brand years ago. The Ninja makes much better coffee.

This Ninja PB051 Single-Serve Specialty Coffee Maker is my new favorite morning go to for a steaming hot cup of coffee, tea, cocoa, or an iced coffee or tea. It took all of a few seconds to make me a cup of hot coffee. I used my favorite flavored coffee pod, and in no time had a great cup of coffee. The coffee pot has some fantastic features. One of the great things I like, is that I can use grounded coffee or the pods. Another great feature is that the tray to sit your cup is adjustable to whatever size you are using. It’s also very easy to clean and descale. It has a clean cycle on it. On the menu, you can choose different settings to brew the size of your choice, starting at 6 ounces and going up to 12 ounces. You can also choose the different brews, like classic, rich, over ice, or a specialty 4 ounce. There is a frothier built onto the side of the coffee maker that moves for when it is not in use. The bottom of it detaches so you can clean it easily. The water tank is in the back and holds up to 24 ounces of fresh tap water. This coffee maker is really great and I know I will get a lot of use out of it.
