This Ninja coffee maker has been a fantastic addition to our kitchen. The color is gorgeous—it has a modern, sleek look that matches perfectly with our other appliances. It really pulls everything together on our countertop.The build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy and well-made, and you can tell it’s built to last. My wife absolutely loves it and uses it every single day. One of the best features is the ability to brew both pods and ground coffee. It's super convenient and gives us flexibility depending on what we’re in the mood for.It also performs really well—brews quickly, the coffee tastes great, and it's easy to clean. The controls are intuitive, and everything works just as it should. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish, and versatile coffee maker, I highly recommend this one. Totally worth it!

When my Keuring coffee maker died after only a couple of years of use I started looking for a replacement.I had heard that Ninja had a good reputation for making quality appliances and when I learned they made a coffee maker that gave you the choice of using ground coffee or Kcups I was intrigued.I do prefer ground coffee as it is much more affordable than the Keuring cups and ...well...I just feel ground coffee...especially the way I prefer it.....black ...tastes better.I was never quite satisfied with the Keuring coffee makers they were so ugly looking and the coffee they made....I guess I already went over that...but anyway as a single old guy who just wanted a single cup of coffee in the morning I was stuck with Keuring.I have had the Ninja Pods and Grounds coffee maker for about 6 months now and I have to say I am very pleased with the product...maybe even more than pleased.As I mentioned I am a black coffee drinker. This coffee maker does a superb job of making a good cup of coffee.I prefer using the "rich" mode as it brings out all the flavors of my coffee.Another thing. I like my coffee hot. I am scratching my head over reports from some other reviewers saying the Ninja does't come through with hot coffee. What? My coffee is always hot from my Ninja.Forgot to mention that my morning routiine also includes a cup of green tea and let me tell you this Ninja comes through with flying colors in brewing a an excellent cup of tea.All I have to do is place a tea bag in the basket put it on "rich" mode and it produces a wonderful cup of green tea.I have the Ninja Pods and Grounds coffee maker that comes in "stone" color that looks so nice on my kitchen counter.It takes up less space than the aforementioned Keuring and gets a lot of compliments. I think it really looks classy.I like the fact that you can adjust the little tray to accomodate any size cup and it will even accomodate my travel mug. Yay!One final note..regarding Kcups...I am not totally against them In fact I keep a few around when I am too lazy to measure out a ground coffee cup o' joe and also for when I have company and need faster coffee making in those situations. The Kcups work great on this machine.Don't know what to say except I hightly recommend this Ninja and think you'll really like it.

My significant other and I absolutely love our new coffee maker. I have always bought Keurig and upgraded as the years went on. The descale light would come on, I'd run the cycle with the solution cleaner and the light would never turn off. We are super happy with this purchase. We brew 4-5 cups daily and so far all is good. The different size options are great, the use of pods or grounds is amazing,and the cleaning process is a breeze! Once the clean light comes on, simply use 16 oz of vinegar,fill with water to the max line,and run the cycle. Easy and low maintenance. Highly recommend! And cheaper than the fancy Keurigs too. Ninja is the way to go!

***Update 4/20/2025- Machine still going and working properly. I use it 2-3 days a week (when coffee shop is closed)THIS IS NOT AN EXPRESSO MACHINE.What I've discovered:Coffee isn't as hot as I like it- Make sure to let the machine sit for a few mins before brewing or run a 6oz of water thru. if I don't want to wait, I just heat up my cream in the microwave. I brew ground coffee on rich setting at 14oz, and it is quick and does brew a nice cup (if using good coffee) the coffee itself makes a difference.It is easy to clean BUT you need to clean it every time IF you're using pods that contain milk. If you're just running regular coffee/pods, then I clean once a week.Water tank size- I'm the only one in the house that uses it, so it's fine. If you have more than 2 ppl using, then it might be too small, and you may need to refill often. I use tap water (well water with softener) and have not had an issue.Froth vs no froth- The universe was looking out for me. If I had the model with the froth wand I don't think I would use it.Do I recommend?-looking for a budget friendly single serve coffee maker then YES. I don't regret my purchase.-Looking for an expresso machine instead of going to coffee shop. NO keep shopping this is not for you.I deducted 1 star just because it's not as hot as I would like and you can't adjust the temp. but overall, it's a really good machine and I really love the storage it has!***THE END**I picked the stone-colored coffee maker, and it DOES NOT have a froth function like the other colors!I'm okay with it because it was not a selling point for me. They sent me the PB041 I thought I ordered the PB051. SO again, just pay attention before you check out!On the other hand, this thing is beautiful! Has storage for all of its components! I will update my review once I use it... I literally just unboxed it!::Same day update!:: I'm absolutely in love with this coffee maker! There is trial and error to get your preferred ratio of flavor but that is true for any new coffee maker. 5 stars!
