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

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 stopped sipping the Keurig kool-aid and found the Ninja! This unit checks all the boxes for me. Not only is it beautiful on my minimalist countertop (I bought it in navy blue), it brews a great cup of coffee in less than one minute! I love the adjustable platform. Being able to put my cups close to the spout eliminates the splashing and sputtering mess that often comes when dispensing from far above the cup. The iced coffee setting brewed the perfect glass of iced coffee - just as good as Starbucks and I saved myself $7! An unexpected surprise is the storage compartment located in the unit for the alternate filter. The water reservoir is easy to handle and is easily visible without being bulky or unsightly. I'm very happy.

We absolutely love this machine. It makes th best coffee. I love wheb yku cab smell coffee brewing! Has a nice size waterMy new coffee maker is seriously a game-changer! I'm obsessed with how delicious the coffee tastes. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee in the morning is just pure bliss. Plus, it has a really convenient size water tank, so I don't have to refill it constantly. It's been making my mornings so much better! tank and it brews quickly. Can use pods or regular coffee, which is great to amaze all in one.

I really wanted to love this after a "meh" experiences with Keurig machines over the years and having become a Ninja fanboy with other products of theirs, but it started leaking coffee out the bottom every time I used it. It was small at first so I didn't notice until I had thrown away all the packaging, but it got to be too much. Without the packaging, it became too much of a hassle to try to return it. It's bizarre, I checked every possible point for where the leak was coming from and couldn't locate it, I think it must be a crack in an internal part of the dispenser. The general technology is an improvement over every Keurig I've tried, the coffee comes out warmer and tasted better to me, plus it runs faster. They engineered the core parts great, but having to put down paper towel underneath the machine and change it every day after getting saturated and started smelling badly was too much. I scoured Reddit and their website and it doesn't seem like anyone else had this specific problem, but people reported a lot of other different problems with its durability. I feel like they just need to simply it, get rid of the separate "grounds" option since this requires swapping out the pod holder, and just make a really clean easy K-cup machine. This seems like their basic model and everything gets more complicated from here on up. Anyways, the host of other problems reported and my own experience made my toss it in the trash and reluctantly slink back to Keurig, this time trying a K-Express, and after my first day back it's just nice having a dead simple easy machine that simply works. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I really think Ninja has the right people to make the best K-cup machine in the world as Keurig has become so obliquitous they're at the "commoditization" stage of their cycle just cranking machines out to the masses without much innovation, but feels like to me Ninja needs another iteration or two before they nail it. I'm certainly not going to spend another $100 and up at the moment to give them another shot.

I have had multiple Keurigs over the past many years, some very high end ones to the new multi-stream. They all started out good, then end up working poorly and eventually breaking with no clear way on how to fix them. I almost went back to a drip maker because I was fed up with the keurigs. Instead, I did some research and with all the reviews, decided to try this Ninja maker and dang am I impressed. First off it is much more visually appealing than any of the Keurigs, the water tank holds plenty of water so you don't have to refill constantly. The construction of the thing is very well done, super solid device. The lid and the water tank are very tight, and even though it only uses one hole to punch the K-cup, the coffee is super rich and flavorful, IMO much better than the Keurig models. I like a dark cup and the classic drip is perfect for daily drinking. The strong setting gets the job done when you really need a heavy cup of joe. For the electronics and settings, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the fact that it remembers your last setting (so does the new Keurig multi stream) but you do NOT have to open the lid or push the power button to cycle the system to complete a tall cup. Just push the brew button again and off it goes, no fuss. It is also a semi-always on tech, meaning, you don't have to wait for the water to heat before it starts brewing. The mini grounds brew also does an almost perfect job, however, I have only used this twice just to say I had. The internal storage container is a plus since you don't have to use a drawer in your kitchen to store parts for the Ninja. I almost wish I had bought the frother version, just because I like accessories and it looks really cool. The price was great, keep a look out for sales. I think I got this one for under $100 which you most certainly cannot do if you go Keurig. Overall, I am soooo happy with this product. I recommend it to everyone I know Hope you enjoy your next cup ☕

I like the look of the coffeemaker. It is sleek with a pleasing color. The coffee is nicely hot with a variety of styles and sizes. While it can take K-Cups, it has a workable permanent filter with a greater variety of sizes. I am using small coffee filters so that I do not have to wash so many coffee grounds down the sink. I dump the filter and coffee out quickly and rinse the permanent filter. The paper filters cost 6-7 cents each and work well for small to medium amounts of grounds. I have also gotten away with small (#2) cone filters for small cups of coffee. I worry about the durability of the machine. The water reservoir is thin and light. Mine came with a one-inch chip in the top. The company agreed to replace the reservoir, but the new one has been backordered for two months. I assume many people are trying to replace the same. I leave the reservoir in place and pour water into it rather than moving it around too much. I also worry is the permant filter will last -- especially in cases were people shake coffee grounds out between cups.

I’ve been buying the other brand single serve coffee maker but after several months they start leaking my counter tops would be full of water and it leaks out of the coffee maker so I did research and read the reviews on the Ninja I didn’t see one bad comment on the Ninja so I decided to order it and so far i love it it’s easy to use , it’s lightweight , the cup size is perfect, it’s very quiet,the coffee comes out hot and it tastes so good, love the storage on the side for ground coffee and the spoon I love the choice of rich or classic I use the rich it is a smooth and bold flavor it seems to be well made I’m very pleased so far

I ordered this machine with some trepidation because of the negative reviews. The exploding K-cups were of special concern for me as I use K cups daily. I followed all the instructions and put in the first K-cup. It exploded. I was ready to pack it up and return it, but I decided to give it one more try. That's when I noticed that when I put the basket and pod adaptor into the receptical, I had failed to push it down until it clicked. I pushed it down until it clicked and proceeded to brew a k-cup --no problem at all - great coffee! When I remove the k-cup, the basket and adaptor released again. Every time I put in a new pod, I must gently press the basket and adaptor until it clicks before starting the brewing process. It is a small step to get a great cup of coffee without exploding the pod and making a mess. I hope this helps - It helped me keep a great machine and it brews my coffee hot!

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

Why do you advertise this on Amazon uk when it is no good only in USA it’s ridiculous has been returned
