Love this coffee maker! Lots of features and conveniences packed into a small machine. I’d been using a Cuisinart pot + pod machine for years but I always make single cups anyway so I wanted a machine that catered to that.
This Ninja brews a solid cup of coffee. Much richer and smoother than my Cuisinart. The options to customize your cup (classic, rich, over ice, specialty) really let you personalize the brew. Control panel on top is super easy to operate and does automatically shut off after awhile. The one thing it’s missing, and this is a very minor thing for me, is there’s no scheduled brew feature.
The machine itself is slender and fits easily on the countertop in my apartment’s tiny kitchen. Despite that, the water tank is nice and big (56oz) so I don’t feel like I’m filling it up constantly. In fact I have to fill it less than the full size coffee machine I was using to brew individual cups previously.
Despite its slender profile the machine has a nifty little storage bin on the right side to store whichever adapter (k-cup or grounds) you aren’t using. Even a little storage hook right above that to hold the grounds scoop. But honestly maybe my favorite feature is the adjustable tray height so you can move it up or down depending on how tall your cup is. Doesn’t completely get rid of splatter but it helps!
The milk frother on the left was an added bonus!
The material is a matte plastic which felt a little cheaper than I was expecting, but honestly I think that is more of a credit to the sleek design of the machine because I expected something more refined. It’s totally fine though and it looks great on my counter top. The color is really nice.
Over all I actually can’t believe how much you get for the price of this machine. I’ve had other Ninja coffee makers before and I have a high opinion of their quality in general. This one further confirms that opinion!
I bought this at $99 but as of writing this review it’s on sale for $79 and frankly that’s a total steal. If you’re in the market for a single serve coffee maker I cannot recommend this one enough!
