Ninja Pods & Grounds Iced Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pod Compatible, Stone PB041ST | Single-Serve, Brews Grounds, Compact Design, 56-oz. Reservoir, 6-oz. Cup to 24-oz. Travel Mug Brew Sizes

Having used Keurig for longer then I can remember, but having a new Keurig single serve coffee maker break after 6 months I decided to switch and try Ninja. No regrets. It is nice and thin, though taller then I expected, being in an RV size matters, so perfect in width, and while the height was unexpected, still workable and storable. Very quiet while brewing and water tank holds a surprising good amount of coffee. Like the brew speed, and type of brew options and 4 cup amount options that I didn't have before. The design also allow for adding creamer while the the coffee is being made. For me a heavy coffee drinker so far it has the value for the money paid. Also nifty build in storage for coffee grounds pod if not want K-Cup

This is a really great machine at this price point. I was looking to replace a k-cup making machine that gave out, and it did not have a reservoir. I thought I would buy this one and just use the k-cup feature, but I absolutely love how easy it is to make a single serve cup using fresh grounds- I'm not sure I can go back to k-cups! The coffee over ice is also exceptional- I have had some really sad coffee over ice and this one is rich and full of flavor. The storage feature for the adapter not in use is wonderful, and having the coffee grounds scoop hooked onto the machine is so convenient. If I had one complaint, it would be that it is a bit noisy when brewing, but I'll let that slide since the coffee tastes so good. I did purchase paper coffee filters here on Amazon for my fresh grounds and those are very helpful. This is a solid little machine that will make the coffee part of your day a little brighter!

Flavored ground coffee blends gum up the innards of sophisticated, expensive grind/brew/pour espresso and coffee machines. I have a Nespresso machine for wonderful espresso and lungo pours and I have a De'Longhi that grinds and then gives me all kinds of pour choices. But this Fall I wanted pumpkin spice, and some Barnie's blends and an interesting Mexican chocolate flavored coffee that I found. So I went looking online for a machine--not too expensive, but not too cheap either--that would provide me with the means to make a consistently hot, very rich, cup of flavored coffee with cream, worthy of drinking. I found this machine and I already love it. And it sits nestled between my Nespresso and De'Longhi machines on my coffee bar. In fact--and maybe because it is a novelty for me to be able to have wonderful flavored coffees at my fingertips--I have been using it more often than my other two, more expensive machines. But beware, or be aware: The price you pay for more flavorful coffee, will not be the one-time cost of this machine. It will be the fact that you will go through a bag of ground coffee way quicker than you ever imagined. I accept that. Because this machine makes the best cup of flavored ground coffee that I've ever had. This machine covers all the bases: Using the included filter in the brew basket, and with an ample water reservoir (56oz) at its back, it brews whatever ground coffee your heart desires, whatever grind, however much grounds you add to the filter, and however much water you press the button for. It has three lighted buttons for choosing a milder (Classic) or stronger (Rich) or even iced coffee. It makes for almost overwhelming opportunities to get the exact coffee you are looking for. And, hey, if those choices do overwhelm you, you can use the pod adapter in the brew basket and insert any kind of K-cup (not paper though), and just choose the amount of water for a single-serve. (But I don't use K-cup very often, so my review will not be addressing that feature.) And, the machine senses whether you have the filter or pod adapter in the brew basket and proceeds accordingly. I also have not tried the iced coffee feature. But from witnessing all the different ways this machine can provide you with the perfect strength coffee, I'm positive the iced coffee feature works well. Just use a vessel that can tolerate both hot and cold and fill it with ice, hit the proper button and let the hot coffee trickle into it. From reading reviews and the manuals that come with this machine, I assume that this is a relatively new product for Ninja. The manuals talk of a 4 ounce pour and a frother arm--both of these features are not included on this machine. And that is not an issue for me, the person who already has both of those features on other machines, but it might make a difference to you. So, to be clear this machine does not create froth (from your own heated milk in your own cup, which will be available on another model), nor does it give you the opportunity to make a 4 ounce pour. I am plenty okay with the 7 choices (of 6 ounces to 24 ounces) of water volumes. As this is a single pour machine, (then clean the grounds out of the filter basket), I will use my own quality carafe if I want to make enough coffee for a few morning cups or if I am entertaining a guest or two. But, and this is a possible fault: 24 ounces only stretches to three 8 ounce cups of coffee or 4 six ounce cups of coffee with cream, for instance. And, I'm adding this to my original review: I'd like to find a thermal carafe that fits under the spout of this machine. One that has a pour spout and a lid and no handle. Because I've been using a double-walled stainless steel travel mug and of course those do not have pour spouts--so it's a very messy pour from travel mug to coffee cup. The carafe without its lid would need to be no more than 8" tall and hold at least 26-28 ounces to the rim. I find several on Amazon, but none show the height without the lid. Nor is it obvious if the handle is part of the lid, because I'm thinking a handle would not allow the carafe to fit close enough to the machine's dispenser. What else I've experienced so far: --This machine makes coffee that is plenty hot, so hot that I can only take a tentative sip at first (and that is with cream included.) --It takes longer to brew than a Nespresso machine. It takes less time to brew than a drip machine. And the more water you use, the longer the brewing time. The reason: This machine allows the hot water to sit and stew in the grounds to provide a stronger, richer, flavor. Some quicker machines use pressure to build flavor and richness. But then machines built on the use of pressure do not allow ingredients other than coffee beans, so no flavored coffee grounds. --Brewing is done in stages that appear as lighted bars on top of the machine. It is nice to be able to see the progress. --The cup tray raises and lowers easily to accommodate different size vessels. The coffee does pour rather close to the machine. And the spout does not push in or out. It is a bit restrictive if you use certain uniquely-shaped vessels. --The pod adapter and filter both fit in a storage bin on one side of the machine. --The included spoon hangs from a hook on the other side of the machine. --Speaking of spoons and spoonfuls: You may be surprised how quickly you go through a bag of coffee..... --You will need to make decisions about how much grounds and how much water and what size vessel. You will need to know the volumes of your different cups. Or, if that is something you don't want to do, use the K-cup feature and you'll only need to decide on the water amount and the cup size. --Cleaning is relatively easy, just the brew basket and filter or pod adapter. --Descaling is easy too: 16 ounces of white vinegar or a descale solution and water and a 2 quart vessel and push a button. It takes 75 uninterrupted minutes.

I loved this coffee maker. Easy to use and made great coffee until it didn’t. Never had an issue for 1-1/2 years and on May 25, on a Monday morning, couldn’t turn it on to brew. The method signs of pod and grounds just kept flashing. Tried troubleshooting, even did a complete clean, with no resolution. I called manufacturer and the rep told me to do the same interventions I had already done, even some that didn’t apply because I don’t use pods. After an hour of dealing with this, he told me the brewing motor must be broken and the unit would need to be replaced. Of course, the warranty was expired, so I would have to purchase a new one. He offered to replace the unit without all of the extra pieces and that was acceptable as they were ok. He gave me 20% off, so cost was about 2/3 of a new one. I did not have to send it back. The new one arrived. I set it all up to make a cup of coffee, pressed brew and the same problem. The methods kept flashing, would not brew. I called and expressed my great dissatisfaction with their product. I think my replacement was a return with the same problem I had with my original unit. The rep offered a complete replacement with all of the extras at no additional cost. I turned him down and asked for the money I paid for the replacement to be credited back to my account. There was no problem with that request. I did not have to return the unit. That night, I ordered a Cuisinart. I received my credit the next day. I just received my new Cuisinart and set it up. In the morning, I will brew my first cup of coffee in ten days and expect no problems. There were a couple of reviews for Cuisinart that stated it failed, but the other reviews were all positive. With fingers crossed, I will press the brew button and be drinking coffee a couple minutes later. If this one fails, I’ll go to Target and buy a $30 drip coffee maker. Except for the extreme hassle I had with this Shark product, I have to say both times I contacted customer service, the reps were pleasant and as helpful as they could be and very apologetic. That eased some of the anxiety dealing with this. In the end, maybe these one-cup coffee makers just don’t last very long. SPM 6/3/2026

This is perfect for my small kitchen. It does both ground and kcup coffee. If you do the ground option yes it does stop for a moment but picks right back up. Its just trying to pull water from the reservoir and then heat it. Dont think it is broken, its not....thats how it works. Perfect scooper for the ground basket. It also can use the 1 needle reusable kcups so you can brew your own coffee instead of buying kcups. No odor except the nice brew of the coffee. Not very heavy at all. Comes with scooper, the basket for ground coffee and the kcup holder. If you are using either or, the other has a compartment holder to store it at, at the bottom side of the machine (so no losing it).

***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!

I have been a loyal Keurig user since the beginning. BUT I ran into an issue with my brewer and needed to get something new. I am so glad that I tried this one! Not only can I use regular coffee, it brews the pods too! The coffee has actually tasted better too. The best feature that I have found is the machine ran out of water. I got the warning and filled the tank up. My cup of coffee wasn't finished brewing. Once the tank was filled and put back on the machine, it finished brewing my cup of coffee. I love this brewer!

This is a very good machine. It replaces a Keurig that was also fairly good, but this makes hotter coffee and is quicker. I also appreciate the adjustable cup shelf so you can fill varrying sizes of cups including travel mugs. I have not used the grounds basket yet, but i expect i should not have a problem. The first machine i got had a lid problem. It would not close tightly and would pop up and shoot steam at you if standing in front. I called Ninja customer support and got a return started, then they went unresponsive. After a week i returned to amazon and got the new machine in a day . Great service from amazon.

This product is not compatible to Gulf country such as UAE. Voltage is 110. This should have been specified on the product details.

Muy buena cafetera el café sabe muy bueno. Si la recomiendo

What an utterly disappointing experience. It is beyond me as to why Ninja would sell ANY of their coffee makers on the Amazon UK site when they come with AMERICAN PLUGS! There is no mention of this in the listing anywhere. Selling a product no one can use….what is even the point. Don’t let the reviews fool you, they are all from the Amazon US site just plastered on this UK posting to make it look good. Ninja makes great machines but not for users in the UK. Also, Amazon Customer Service is absolutely worthless. They said this machine could be used with a power adapter. It CANNOT. If you live in the UK and you need a very large paper weight, this is the right product for you.

ACTUALIZACIÓN después de 9 meses: La cafetera dejó de detectar la funcion de cápsulas. (Se le cayó un imán al adaptador de pods) SOLUCION: el adaptador para cápsulas de la cafetera tienen un pequeño imán que se le cayó sin darnos cuenta por suerte lo encontré y lo volví a poner donde va y volvió a detectar las cápsulas sin problema. yo compre la version color beich pensando que la unica diferencia entre la beich y la de color negro era la maquina para hacer espuma, pero resulto que la de color beich no trae una funcion llamada ¨SPECIALTY 4 oz¨, que es la que te permite hacer los shots para los lattes y capuchinos. Asi que si piensas comprar una de estas dos versiones recomiendo la que tiene la maquina para hacer espuma por su funcion extra y la diferencia en precios es minima. para que puedan sacarle mayor provecho a la cafetera. En conclusion La de color beich funciona excelente y la recomiendo bastante, pero si pudiera comprarla otra vez compraria la de color negro con la funcion especial para capuchinos y lattes.

Supplied in the UK with an American plug. Had to be returned to Indianapolis. No refund yet Complete RIP OFF
