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

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 never knew what a difference a coffee maker makes for a good cup of coffee. This coffee maker turns our normal coffee into stellar coffee. Easy to use. Easy to program. Reasonable price. Love the additional features - extended burner time, brew strength options, self clean. Feels like it is made of high quality components. I hope it lasts longer than the other brands we've bought. Very pleased with performance so far!

We were devoted to the Cuisinart brand for a longtime, but finally realized their products were getting too cheap and crappy and we were going through them every other year. Decided to give this one a try and we've been very happy with it! It's simple to use and a really nice, compact size for the countertop. We like the option to brew a classic or bold style brew. There's a coffee scoop that attaches to the side, which is a nice feature. It also has a small batch (1-4c) option that allows you to make a single cup without having a big K-cup style component on the side of the machine. The other thing we really like is the detachable water reservoir so you can fill that directly at the sink instead of having to pour water into the top of the machine like our old Cuisinart one. If I was being picky, the two pitfalls of this machine are: #1 the coffee scoop is the equivalent of 1 cup of coffee, so if you're doing a full batch you have to do 12 scoops. Wish it was bigger so the scoop was the equivalent of 2 cups of coffee, meaning for a full pot you only have to measure out 6 scoops instead of 12. #2 when you fill the reservoir for a full batch of coffee (12c) the water is basically at the top edge of the reservoir. Just makes for a precarious walk from sink back to coffee machine. We've spilled a bunch. Again, these are nitpicks, but I know people like to hear all the details. Would hands down recommend this coffee machine to anyone.

I have been a mission. to find the best reasonably priced coffee maker. I ordered this one and sent it back because I didn't think the coffee was hot enough. I then got the 14 cup ninja with the adjustable heating plate--as soon as I put the 14 cup on the counter, I regretted getting it--it was not nearly as well made as the 12 cup--which is an older model--I ended sending the 14 cup back and getting a Cuisinart--I have reviewed the Cuisinart and listed all of the flaws that I found on it--so I am back to the original and loving it--it is simple to use and set up--and it makes a great cup of coffee. I have found that none of them keep the coffee really hot while on the burner. If you are looking for a great sturdy simple coffee maker this is the one for you!!!

. 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
