This is a well engineered machine. It has storage for its accessories, is very compact, and actually makes coffee at closer to the proper temperature. I measured about 180 degrees whereas my Kurig was 155. This definitely makes for better quality and smoother tasting coffee. This machine does make better coffee than a Kurig machine. However, it Does Not make true espresso or cappuccino. You can come close by using the 4oz feature and the frother works fine, but just don’t expect true espresso shots. Nonetheless, it’s a good compromise. Get the same convenience as a Kurig, but with better tasting coffee approaching coffee shop quality. The regular drip basket (non pod) is a copper filter, so it will not add a metallic taste. It will make up to 24 oz of coffee which is really just two large mugs worth, but it is capable of very strong brew. If you are concerned about microplastics produced by the heat on plastic pods as we are, then use the metal pods available on Amazon with your own brand of coffee and grind your own for the best results.

I love it !!!!! I love it ! Works great is fast and coffee comes hot hot as it should. Taste is great even is fast in my opinion it takes enough time to not waste the quality of my coffee beans that for sure! The variety of sizes is an excellent idea that works great. Easy to work it no double pressing buttons and difficult meters to read or stupid screen no! Very easy and looks pretty on my counter. Color I chose is green and super cute tone of green.

This was the best purchase this year for me! My Keurig was just failing! I hated to let it go, but it was time! I have replaced most of my kitchen items with Ninja products. So I decided to give the coffee maker a try! Wow! The fact that I can choose my strength of my coffee with a coffee pod is amazing! I love rich strong coffee! The Ninja did not disappoint! The temperature is consistent! The size is correct. I can’t tell you why? But this coffee maker uses less water than my Keurig! The frother on the side is great! It does what it is supposed to do! Very handy! It brews a cup in about 2 minutes from hitting the brew button! I really recommend this coffee maker! I look forward to having my 1 cup a day! The smell of the rich coffee brewing smells great and tastes delicious!

Firstly, the brewed coffee that the Ninja pods & grounds makes is phenomenal for a single serve coffee maker! A kcup is only as good as a the brand of kcup, no machine will rectify that. I have had a classic Keurig for years. It works fine. Once in awhile it gets clogged and I have to take the top casing off to prime the water tube and then its back in action. I started to look for a new slimmer keurig with good water capacity which landed me on this Ninja. I have other Ninja products and they preform well enough. I sifted through a lot of reviews. The one that stands out is the guy (I assume) who points out all of the things to do right to be successful using this machine. They pointed out to follow the directions of priming the machine first and to press the kcup down to snap it in before closing the lid to brew (which helps so that your kcups aren't exploding). Also, double check your cups to make sure they aren't damaged before using (this is solid advice for any kcup machine). I will say that when I first added water to the tank and sat it down there was some initial leaking. So, I was afraid I had gotten a leaker. But, I continued with priming it and then made my first kcup. There has been no leaking since, so it must have been that first set up needed to seal the gaskets. It was easy enough once you figured out what went where. The selection process is easy enough too. I like a rich flavored coffee. The kcup was meh. But that's to be expected as I've got a generic brand. No machine will fix the taste of a cheap kcup. Darn. Oh well, the 2nd cup I brewed was with ground beans. I used a medium grind and 3 scoops to 10oz on the rich setting. It was so good! I could probably choose 12oz and still have a great brewed rich coffee. I took a few photos of the brewer to show the Glacier Blue. I think the color is very sleek. The water tank is crystal clear and the tank is small, but holds a lot of water (more than my classic keurig). I will add that the coffee brewing basket is nice but not super easy or quick to clean, so I'm going to get some of the paper filters suggested by other reviewers. Its worth noting that the coffee can drip for a bit after its done brewing, so if you're in a hurry, you'll have more dripping after a brew which will be collected in the drip tray. I just leave my mug there for every drop. The drip tray is adjustable for different height sizes of cups and mugs. This is helpful to keep coffee splatter to a minimal. Also, the unit features a built in auto shut-off - no extra button to push for it to work! Since the Ninja pods & grounds is new to me and I haven't used it much, I will update the review if anything changes.

Ninja does it again with this cold and hot coffee brew machine! Strong, intense, cold -coffee however you like.

The coffee machine is very good but beware in Britain the voltage for the machine is 120 volts and in Britain we are 240 volt. To return the machine is very costly, the cost of sending mine back was around £60. Amazon don't want to know about returning the machine, they just send you a label to print off and that's it. I can't understand why Amazon sell items on the market place that don't comply with British voltage.

Un diseño muy bonito
