Ninja 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Brewer, 2 Brew Styles, Adjustable Warm Plate, 60oz Water Reservoir, Delay Brew - Black/Stainless Steel

I recently upgraded from an old coffee maker I had for years, and this one is such a great improvement. The programmable feature lets me wake up to fresh coffee, which makes mornings so much easier before work. It has a sleek design that looks great on my counter, and the removable water reservoir makes filling and cleaning simple. The adjustable warming plate keeps my coffee hot, which is a must. The coffee tastes smooth and flavorful, and I like that I can choose between Classic and Rich depending on how strong I want it. The clean feature is a great bonus and makes maintenance easy. Overall, a reliable, easy-to-use coffee maker with all the right features.

I got this coffee maker a little over 2 years ago, mainly because of its aesthetics, specifically the design and layout were visually pleasing to me compared to other coffee makers. Also all my appliances are black and stainless. On the two cup setting, it takes about 6 minutes to brew. When it's done the coffee is really hot, and I have to wait about 5 minutes before drinking it, or drop in an ice cube and I can start drinking in about 30 seconds to a minute. I found a combination of things with this coffee maker that turns a good cup of coffee into a great one. The ninja branded measuring spoon that comes with it is more important than you might think. They've literally hit the nail on the head regarding the exact amount of coffee grounds that should be used. It's very simple, one flat scoop for every standard size cup of coffee you want, and remember the word flat. Also there's markers on the water tank so scoops and water match up. I personally found if I use flat scoop of coffee grounds, not letting the coffee grounds be higher than that, it tastes perfect every time for me. So I would say that's a huge key to a great cup of coffee on this device. Next up, paper filters improved the taste significantly! The goldish mesh metal filter that comes in the box does not filter out all the coffee grounds. I even tried other brands of metal filters to see if they improved that, but it didn't. You will likely have some coffee grounds in the bottom of your coffee cup if you stick with the included metal reusable filter. At first I didn't think it was very many coffee grounds, but then one day I immediately poured the coffee into a glass after brewing it. Then I held the glass above my head and shined a flashlight at the bottom, and there were a lot more grounds that I saw that way, than when I was getting close to finishing a cup of coffee. Meaning, I was likely swallowing a lot of grounds and would have never known that. So I stopped using the Ninja metal filter and started buying and trying #4 cone paper filters and that did 4 things. 1. No more coffee grounds in my coffee cup. 2. No more upset stomach after drinking coffee. 3. The oily stuff that kind of floated to the top of the coffee was gone. 4. The taste of the coffee significantly improved. I would strongly suggest trying a box of paper filters to see if it improves the taste for you. In closing, this is a good coffee maker, but if you use flat scoops, a good brand of paper filters, and purified water, I think those might be the keys to turning a good cup of coffee into a great one.

We just received this coffee maker yesterday after our high-end fancy Technivorn machine died from 6 years of daily use. We like the fact that it was highly rated and it was well under $100 and so far, we are happy with its operation, it’s designed and functionality. It was important to us that it had this capacity and the ability to set the machine in advance to make coffee the next morning, as well as to keep it warm once it’s brewed. It was also important that it had the ability to clean itself, so the clean cycle will certainly come in handy. The coffee we made today was excellent, perhaps even a little strong because we started out using the strong mode button so we may back off tomorrow just to see the difference and also adjust the dosage because we used 12 heaping scoops and it came out a little bit strong. We will update this review if necessary, but so far so good!

I love this coffee maker! I’ve bought and replaced 4 times I believe over the years because it’s that great. A straightforward coffeemaker, has a separate water tank to fill which I love (no spilling while pouring from the pot). The time sets easily, it has a classic brew or a rich brew setting and can set to keep warm for 4 hours. There’s also the delayed brew setting which is very convenient if you know what time you’ll need it for the following morning. It is a tiny bit heavy but this keeps it from sliding around like a lot do. I paid a very reasonable amount of money for it and it’s a decent name brand. By the time I’d have bought any regular little coffeemaker I may as well spent a tiny bit more for a much bettter one. I take very good care of my coffeemakers by cleaning when necessary so they have lasted for years. The few I have replaced has been over the past 8-9 years so they have lasted over two-three years each. I actually just threw the first one away a few months ago since they don’t actually break I swap it out. Just in case a new one breaks I’ll have it for a backup. Obviously I highly recommend this coffeemaker, you should def purchase it and see the convenience and ease of use it provides in your daily life.

. I searched for a long time for a machine Apparently, no drip is great. I looked at the most expensive, top names, went through all the reviews, and all of them were terrible. Of course some people loved them. So it’s what kept me from buying an overpriced coffee maker that I would find mediocre. I’m a coffee snob. I use French press, being my favorite, have the chimex pour over, and percolator. Now the percolator makes pretty good coffee and I have a big one. Just takes a long time. I have a Moka pot too. Which I love. I drink a lot of coffee and the others were just getting to be a pain to clean. They are actually extremely easily but some days I just want to press a button. Or wake up and coffee made so I’m not running around like a psycho getting my kid to school. So, I love my coffee. It came quick, easy to take out, set up. Cleaned the water base with soap, water, rag like it says. Then ran a cycle of water. Someone complained how long this took to make. It brews pretty fast. My single keireg takes longer and drips all over 🙃. So I make my first pot. The small one. I’m not sure if the robust button works The light didn’t seem to go on when I pressed it messing around. That will be what I use. So I made a classic small cup. It’s ok. But I’m also not used to machine. But I do use kuereg. I’d say probably the same. It’s not bad. I hate that all coffee makers are all made with plastic. Even the ones that say they don’t. There is plastic somewhere in there. Maybe less. Tomorrow I’m goin to try the stringer brew. So I will be updating the difference. If it’s so so, then I may just make a moka pot daily, and just pour that in for more volume and flavor. I think if you like pour over coffee you may like this more than me. Tastes closer to that than my French press or moka. Maybe the same as my kerug. I’ll update tomorrow Update: I went to 4 stars. I used the rich button to brew. It was nice to have it ready in the am. I must say this makes a pretty good cup of coffee. The temperature of coffee is perfect. Definitely better than kuerig. Pods are terrible. Even if I use my own coffee with reusable cup. So being a person that uses French press, moka pot, also percolator. I’ve done pour over also. French press being my favorite along moka pot. Nothing can beat making coffee that way. It will always be better. So for that reason only I take a star off. This is a good drip machine. I’m happy I didn’t waste money on an expensive machine. I read review after review. And since nothing will ever compare to making it the old school way, this machine does a great job. An espresso machine may be a good buy. But I wanted a drip machine that I can program the night before and didn’t need much cleaning after bc I drink a lot of coffee. Not that it’s difficult rinsing the others out. But I’m lazy sometimes. So I’m definitely a coffee snob. Every machine even the expensive ones have plastic parts. So I’m happy with this purchase. I’m hoping it lasts, so when issues come up I will edit. I would like to get a good 10 years if not more out of this machine. I prefer to never have to buy one ever again. But things are made to not last unfortunately. So I expect this to last at least 10. It’s not asking much. So will see

I received the Ninja coffee maker a week ago. I choose this one over other popular ones, because you can remove the water holder, to clean it. I was surprised at the smooth flavor the coffee had!. Much better than my previous other brand of coffee maker. It is quiet, and makes the coffee very quickly. I'm happy I chose this one. If you want a good cup of coffee, I recommend, getting this one!

Our first one arrived broken. There was only a slight blemish on the side of the box, but the thin plastic housing was broken. This wouldn't have been a big deal, except this was a Mothers Day gift. Amazon replaced it quickly. In fact, fast enough for the new one to still arrive before Mothers Day. Good job Amazon. The pot itself seems nice. Good features, and most importantly, makes a great cup of coffee. Doesn't seem to matter if you make a small batch, or a full pot. Good, rich coffee. I've seen other reviews that say theirs's died prematurely. We'll keep an eye on ours and do a follow-up if there are any problems. Right now, we love this thang.

Coffee maker was packed very well! No issues there. After a weeks worth of use, here is my opinion on this product. I like the fact that the water reservoir is removable, which makes for easy cleaning of the tank. The measuring spoon which comes with the coffee maker, is mounted rather oddly on the side. But, really no big deal there. The beep that alerts you when the coffee maker is shutting off (after 2 hours) is not loud enough. It's a very soft beep, which makes it hard to hear if I'm not right there in the kitchen. Regarding the carafe, it pours well, and fits snuggly on the hot plate, however the lid is rather cumbersome! It doesn't just pop on and off the carafe. You have to rotate the lid to one side, and pull it off because it locks into place. Placing the lid back on the glass pot is the cumbersome part... you have to make sure it's placed directly on that top rim of the pot before you can swivel it, and lock it back into place. It's just awkward having to deal with that. Regarding the reusable mesh filter, it has to be put in correctly or the lid on top of the coffee maker won't close properly. Also, I grind my coffee beans, and found that if I grind them too fine, the grounds will get filtered through to the carafe. So, if you grind yours just make sure you don't grind them too fine. The control panel, for me, is hard to read. The words are very small. I have to use reading glasses to see which button to push. .Other than that this unit brews a good pot of coffee. It brews quickly, and stays nice and HOT for 2 hours before it shuts off.
