Ninja | Coffee Maker | Single Serve |Brew with Coffee Pods & Grounds| Compatible with K-Cup Coffee Pods | 4 Brew Styles, up to 24oz Cup Sizes & 56oz Removable Reservoir | Black | PB051

We love it! It brews great coffee and quite fast! I love the frother. It works well. I also appreciate that I can also brew my own coffee, rather than Kcops. We use both. We love the strength options and cup size choice. I like my coffee strong while my husband like classic strength. We have not tried the iced coffee option yet, but will this summer. The space-saving size was perfect for my coffe bar! This is a great product.

This Ninja single serve coffee maker has been such a smart purchase for our household. My teen loves those expensive coffee shop drinks, and I really wanted to show him that he can make something just as good at home without constantly spending his hard earned money. He actually invested in this machine himself (even found an open box deal that looked brand new and saved a few extra bucks), and it has absolutely paid off. We’re easily saving over $1,000 a year making coffee at home and honestly, it’s been fun experimenting with all the different options.What really sets this machine apart is the versatility. It’s not just a basic coffee maker it truly feels like having a coffee shop at home. There’s an espresso option for quick, strong shots (which Dad loves), a cold brew setting that’s perfect for iced drinks (a huge win for my teen), and even a built in frother on the side so you can make those café style drinks right at home. You can also use pods for convenience or brew your own coffee, which gives you total flexibility.The machine itself is sturdy, reliable,and the perfect size and we don’t have to fill up the Water reserve too often and really well made unlike the other popular brand name starting with a K which I won’t name ! It’s exactly what I’ve come to expect from Ninja. We own several of their products, and they consistently deliver great quality and value.This has been one of those purchases that truly makes a difference long term. If you’re looking to save money, cut back on daily coffee runs, and still enjoy high quality drinks with lots of options, I highly recommend it.

I have been a Keurig user since they first came out. The Ninja Coffee Maker is my first non Keurig coffee maker. I’m glad that I finally made the switch. I love that I can make both pod coffee, ground coffee, different sizes and specialties. It delivers the quality and functionality that Ninja always delivers! To top it off, it is extremely easy to use and has the self cleaning function which is awesome!

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!

My last coffee maker was the keurig duo. After 3 years it started making noises and brewing the wrong cup suzes. I searched every coffee maker for a replacement and found this ninja. I loved everything about it especially the ground coffee basket. It has an attached frother on one side and slide in basket on the other side which holds the ground coffee basket. The ground coffee scoop attaches to the side. It was packed in the ninja box in another. Everything was wrapped separately. It took a lot more time unpacking it than it did to set it up. I followed all the instructions step by step. It was actually quite easy. I flushed the water thru as instructed. Afterwards I put in a peets kcup hit go. It brewed the coffee which was surprisingly too hot to take more than a tiny sip. I really liked this machine and it came in moss green. I left for an hour. When i came back my counter was flooded with water. I immediately thought it was from my old keurig and i hadn't noticed it. I noticed to water tank only had a little bit of water in it. It still didn't click until i refilled the water reservoir and put it back on. Slowly water started seeping from underneath the machine. The water in the reservoir had bubbles. I immediately took the reservoir off and put it on a dry paper towel to look for a crack. There wasn't one and the water wasn't bubbling off the machine. The water was still coming from under the machine because it was already in there. I thought check with Amazon online. I put in the info and the reply was i can get a refund. I didn't want a refund i wanted to exchange it. Nope have to return to kolhs not whole foods or Amazon fresh right below me. I decided to check the instruction sheet again. Ah troubleshooting. There's a section on leaks. The very last scenario is if leak is coming from under the machine call customer service. I call and was pleasantly surprice how easy it was to get to talk to a person. Kellie was very personable. I explained the leaking from under the machine. The impression i got from her was this isn't a common problem we did a video chat she looked at the machine i showed her where the water was coming from. There are 2 empty holes on the bottom. I showed her i can stick my pen up into them. The other holes like those have a screw in them. There are also non skid dots on the corners. She had me put the reservoir with water back on. It took maybe 30 seconds and i said bubblesare starting to form which she was able to see. Luckily i had the dry paper towel where it was as the water began seeping out for her to see in real-time. I told her i thought it was coming thru the holes i could stick my pen into. I was on the phone with her for 30 minutes. Yes they would send me a new machine but even if i cut off the cord the needed this one back. They won't pick it up. I would have to take it the FedEx. There isn't a FedEx anywhere near me. There are a few UPS but it can't go there. They can't send the new until they get they get the defective one. It would a few weeks to get the new one. I thought shark/ ninja would want to look over the machine to find the defect. Then i thought why did i bother and go thru all of this when i can return it to amazon and reorder it. I wasted at least 30 minutes on the phone with shark ninja and didn't get anywhere while water was still leaking from under machine. I thought i was a doing a good thing in case other people were having the same problem. After reading many of the good reviews i decided to read the bad. I'm not the only one with a leaking machine. I packed everything up and put the machine and all parts back into the box to return to amazon. I was going to reorder one even tho they were out of the green before i got to return this one. In 2 or 3 days the price went way up. Now they have 3 different models of this machine. The one i had with the frother was 99.00. I think it's now 30.00. I can do without the frother i only cared about the ground coffee basket. I've been using my french press because i don't have a machine. I'm debating if i should order the one without the frother or buy a new keurig that comes with a basket for grounds. I gave 2 stars because i like the streamlined look of this and there's a place for everything built into the machine and the actual basket for ground coffee not a kcup looking thing.

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.

This should be a 5 star review… But I can’t let one little detail slip by. My Bunn went kaput and since my husband I are cutting back on coffee, I needed to find a suitable solution for a coffee maker. I also wanted to keep in mind we were wasting a lot of coffee since we both only drank a cup a day mostly before the gym. We would make much more than that daily in our regular coffee maker. It was very wasteful. I originally thought a Keurig coffee maker would be a better solution for us. I love the idea of the single serve coffee maker that the Keurig provides. However, I didn’t necessarily like that I had to buy Kcups to use it or buy a reusable nest to use it. I also was very indecisive about the Keurig. Then I came across the Ninja. This machine does everything that I want it to and more. I can make iced coffee. I can make super strong coffee. I can make classic coffee. And to top it all off literally, I can froth my milk or creamer for my coffee. I feel like the value for money with this coffee maker is very high. you can make pretty much any coffee you want with this machine. What I particularly love is that I can use a K cup if I want to, or I can just use regular ground coffee. This machine is compatible with both. Before reading the instructions I had bought espresso ground coffee and realized the instructions said you cannot do that. But to be honest, I don’t need espresso ground coffee to have a really strong shot of coffee. Which I absolutely love. I can make my favorite coffee which is pictured in my review pumpkin spice with pumpkin cold foam. In my 12 ounce coffee cup I brew 10 ounces of of classic brew. Then I add one pump of sugar-free pumpkin spice syrup. And then I froth my pumpkin spice Chobani creamer. Then I top it off with pumpkin spice sugar. I make this coffee for pennies on the dollar compared to getting something like this at Starbucks for seven dollars. So let me get to the part where I feel like Ninja let an important detail slip by. I love the basket to put the ground coffee in. However, after you are finished brewing, the basket is very difficult to get clean. It would be easier to clean if the entire lid to the basket could just be removed. I feel like it will be very easy to break the lid of the basket because you have to tap it pretty vigorously to get the coffee out before rinsing. This alone I believe should only take .5 stars away from this review. But, I can’t give a 4.5 star review, I can only give a four star review. Don’t get me wrong. All of the other functions of this maker are five star worthy. Including the water tank durability. It literally just pops into place and doesn’t feel cheap. The frother is top-quality. I don’t ever have to worry about the batteries running out or having to charge it. And I love that you can store both the ground coffee basket and the cake cup adapter basket in the machine. There is also a coffee scoop that attaches to the machine as well. This machine fits perfectly in the nook on my counter in my apartment. It’s ideal actually for an apartment or a small coffee area.The organization and the well thought out design of this machine is top-tier. I just have to mention the one negative aspect to those who might consider purchasing this machine.

This will be long, bear with me. I'm not a huge coffee drinker until the cooler weather starts, but I've had the craving lately. I've had Keurigs and Nespressos, and they each have their pros and cons. Keurigs for availability of pods but lack of taste, Nespresso for excellent taste but proprietary pods, and both usually take up quite a bit of space. As you can see from my picture (ignore the mess, this was right after a cooking session), my counter space is VERY limited, which brings me to why I keep getting rid of every machine I've had: I just simply don't have the room for the nicer machines, and hate the taste of the cheaper ones. But this Ninja coffee maker? Oh, it's the best of ALL worlds. We have several Ninja appliances and already trust the brand to be well made and worth any price. This is no different. The fact that you can use K-Cups or regular coffee grounds for single use is great, and the frother option included? Comes in a bunch of various colors? Is compact and easy to clean? Could you really ask for anything more out of a coffee maker? Of course, just to be sure of my purchase, I read other reviews before buying. One person wrote that this entire machine was made with love, and I could not agree more. Every single aspect of this machine was thought of, and that was clear down to the way it was packaged. Everything is meant to fit on the machine at all times, and has space saving options (like when either the K cup spot vs grounds spot is being used, the other is utilized for storing parts for the other), and everything goes together neatly. You honestly don't even need directions on setting it up, because everything just makes sense and is clearly labeled. You can brew regular strength, rich, over ice, and espresso, all perfectly measured and ridiculously quick to brew (and at the perfect temperature!!). I had several K cups ready to go and was eager to see if there was really a difference that people noted in their reviews, and there was. Normally, K Cups taste extremely watered down and just... Bland to me. But the way this machine equally disperses the water through the cup ensures you get an actual good brew of coffee every single time. Even pods I've tried in my old machine and wasn't fond of immediately tasted better in this one. I have yet to use the regular grounds on our machine, but I have no doubt it'd be easy to use. Nor have I used the frother, but I did a mock trial of it just to make sure I wouldn't mess something up and it was simple to execute and to take apart afterwards when you'd need to clean. Everything just goes right back onto the machine afterwards. Truly, every little thing you could have qualms with other machines, this one has thought of. It is simple, elegant, and so easy to use. If you're looking for a combo coffee maker, look no further!
