Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m a huge coffee lover. I left the normal Mr Coffee maker and spent more to try the Ninja coffee pot everyone loves. 4 months later it’s leaking from the bottom.

Looks great in my kitchen and brews great tasting coffee.

Easy to follow instructions with step by step setup. Makes great coffee simple.

I love Ninja products, and this is the new addition to my household.

Good coffee machine. This is my second one. I use it everyday.

Brews coffee.. clock segments out after a 1 yr, so i just don't even bother with programming. It would be a guessing game anyway. I just plug it in when I'm ready to brew. It brews.. then I unplug until next time. Very much an average coffee maker.

I am very impressed with the brewing capability of this Ninja Coffee Brewer, and how perfectly it makes great tasting coffee. DESIGN AND CONTROLS: This is my third Ninja kitchen appliance. I absolutely loved the previous two (a blender, and an air fryer), so I was expecting another winner. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed. This coffee brewer could not be easier to use. All the settings are logically labeled and self-explanatory. All it takes is putting coffee in the reusable filter and pushing a few buttons. It is constructed of quality components (that is expected at this price point). I especially like that a washable filter is included. The brewing modes are: Rich, Classic, and Small Batch. The Small Batch setting, which is designed to optimally makes 1 to 4 cups of coffee, is the equivalent to about 1 to 2 large coffee mugs. It can make up to 12 cups of coffee, which is the equivalent of about 6 large mugs. The Delay Brew function can be programmed to have hot coffee waiting for you when you wake up. The components are easy to take out and clean after use. Just rinse, and dry and they are ready for the next day. APPEARANCE: This coffee maker has a premium appearance and will look great in any style kitchen. VERDICT: The Ninja Coffee Maker is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. It looks good, has a nice feature set, and most importantly makes a delicious cup of coffee.

It's a great coffee maker, but after less than FOUR months of usage, a hole has appeared in the bottom of the reservoir that makes it impossible to fill up at the sink and reattach to the unit, which is the entire point of this style of coffee maker. So now I have to leave the reservoir on the unit, and full up the pot itself with water, then fill the reservoir. But because of the giant gaping hole in the bottom of the reservoir, it still leaks into the unit itself. It makes a mean cup of jo, but this is just shoddy. What's further, I reached out to Ninja's support email at [email protected], an email I found in these very reviews. That was on Jul 19th, so it's been over a full month and no reply. I know the email works too because I've followed up twice and while I get an automated "we have updated your support ticket" reply, I don't get any actual assistance. So Ninja, I tried to give you the opportunity to rectify this shoddy product and you have made zero attempt to do so. I must insist no one else buy this product, and I'm happy to attach pictures of the issue in question so you can see what might happen if you do buy it.

Several features of the Ninja have been a very pleasant surprise. The removable water reservoir is very convenient. It saves an extra step as you don't have to fill the carafe and then dispense it into the reservoir on the machine. It's only a few seconds but it also greatly reduces spillage and counter mopping. I also appreciate the built in reusable filter basket. Rinsing it out is more inconvenient than tossing a paper basket in the trash but there is less clutter on the counter, no more using a paper towel if the filter supply is depleted and I believe the flavor is better than even when using unbleached paper filters. The lid of the carafe is a twist-lock type instead of the typical hinged lift-up and so far I haven't spilled a drop. It really is dripless whereas most other "dripless" carafes I've owned were not. The scoop mounted to the side is also a nice touch. I still use a measuring cup but still a thoughtful addition to the Ninja. I like my coffee black and rather strong and with my old drip pot used a heaping 2/3 cup measuring cup full of ground coffee per 12 cup carafe of water. I tried this same method with the Ninja turned to "Rich" and it was way too strong so their claim of getting more flavor out of the beans is certainly accurate. The Ninja's box states that the coffee is never bitter but it sure was the first time I used it. However, it's not necessarily the coffee pot's fault. I used the same amount of coffee on the regular strength setting and it was much better. The third time I used less coffee and returned to the Rich setting and it was perfect. With the way it brews, I can get the same strong flavor I enjoy while using less coffee. Coffee isn't cheap so no telling how much money this will save over the course of the life of the machine but I would imagine it will be significant. At 14.5" tall the Ninja is about 2" taller than the Mr. Coffee it replaced but we have quite a bit of room where we keep it. Just make sure you do too. In summary, the Ninja is an excellent coffee pot with numerous features and benefits over more standard machines. While more "conniseauer" types might disagree, this particular user is completely satisfied.

I have had this coffee maker for 7 months now. We clean it everyday and do a deep cleaning with vinegar when needed. My main issue is the reservoir which is ironic because I initially bought it hoping the reservoir would be simple to clean unlike like my previous coffee makers. However, as time passed I saw that although we clean the reservoir everyday the bottom part does not get cleaned even with a deep clean there's just no getting into that area and cleaning it as much as I've tried nothing gets that area clean. I'll include pictures so that anyone reading my review can see what I am talking about. In my opinion this coffee maker is not worth the money and stress. I used to like the ninja products now I do not. I had a ninja blender and thought the coffee maker would be a nice addition but even the blender has run it's course. I'm thinking of investing in a Keurig.

Limited on pictures for reviews! This is a quiet and fast coffee maker and will take a #4 paper filter with ease. A paper filter (not included) allows for the easy removal of coffee grounds and transfer to the garbage can. You can use the included gold tone metal filter as desired that works as advertised. Timer works but I mainly use the manual options. Unit has lighted display buttons to tell you what the pot is doing at all times. Brewing coil does not shut off until the drop of water is forced out of the chamber. The warmer off feature is nice so you can walk away from the pot and never worry about it being on. The removable coffee reservoir is a game changer. I can go VFR direct to the refrigerator filtered water dispenser and fill it to the 10 cup point, If you have a taller dispenser you fill will vary. To fill mine to 12 cups I needed to manually add two cups. There are no cup markers on the carafe. The carafe does not leak when pouring. First pot that has not leaked for any brand. All parts to this product are sturdy and well built and were a welcome replacement to my $14 coffee maker. At the advertised price point this is worth the few extra dollars to get a unit that is not messy and user friendly. Excellent product.

The Ninja comes assembled -- you hyst have to remove some foam/tape, wash it, run a couple of cycles of water through it, and it's done. It comes with a reusable metal filter as well as a measuring spoon that attaches to the unit. Overall it's easy to use and easy to clean. The buttons for brew options, etc. are simple and easy to access. There's a clock display with buttons to set the time, a power button, a "small batch" button for when you're only brewing 4 cups or less, a button for "classic" or "rich" brew, a "stay warm" button to extend hot plate duration, brew, and clean. The water reservoir is detachable, and it has a nice handle built into it which makes it easy to grasp. The Ninja is not exactly compact, but has a clean, pleasing decor that will fit right in on most kitchen counters. I've been a Keurig guy for some time, so while it seemed the Ninja took a long time to brew, it may simply be I'm just used to how quick it is to brew a single cup. When brewing, rather than drip into the 12 cup carafe as most coffee makers do, it drips into a straw and the fresh drip goes to the bottom of the carafe. I'm not sure this actually does anything but found it interesting nonetheless. Easy to use, easy to clean, looks good and makes a great cup of coffee. The final result was a hot, flavorful coffee that was not bitter. I used the "rich" setting and added creamer and cannot complain at all of the result.

I’ve owned the Ninja 12-Cup Coffee Maker for a few weeks now and couldn’t be more pleased. If I have time, I usually make pour over coffee – but when it come to a workday, I just usually don’t have time. This unit has a wonderful and simple design. The removable water take is a breeze to fill and keep clean. The included gold filter is a nice touch. The strength control is nice. Daily use and programming are as simple as could be too! The best part is that it makes some of the best drip coffee I’ve ever had. Use freshly ground quality beans and filtered water – let the Ninja take care of the rest!

I love my coffee maker however the carafe cracked in less than 2 months.

My grandmother loves to drink coffee. She has it several times throughout the day and into the evening. For quite some time, she has been using a single-serve coffee pot and we decided to give her an upgraded system for the holidays this year. Since she drinks coffee multiple times per day, we wanted her to have a full size coffee pot and since we have used other Ninja products, we thought this 12-cup coffee maker would be a good investment for her long-term use. This coffee maker is easy to use. There are easy to read labels on it and it’s fairly self-explanatory. I really like that all the components — including the filter — are washable. There are several brewing modes, which comes in handy since the members of our family all like their coffee just a little different. The small batch setting will work very nicely for my grandma as it will make 1-4 cups of coffee (approximately 1-2 large cups) which is perfect for her uses. This coffee maker has a sleek, attractive design and it’s very sturdy. I love that this is easy to use since my grandma appreciates technology, but doesn’t always understand how it works. I like that this is a high quality coffee maker at an affordable price. I would recommend this to others.

The Ninja Coffee Brewer can brew coffee using a permanent filter or a #4 paper filter. I first sampled coffee by placing a paper filter in first and selecting Classic Brew. The coffee came out good but had a bitter taste. I then decided to Brew coffee with the permanent filter and selected the Rich setting. The coffee had no bitter taste and tasted smooth. My family and I all agreed that we enjoyed the Rich setting better than the paper filter setting. I am a coffee lover and could drink the coffee in either setting. But if you like a smooth flavor to your coffee, I recommend the Rich setting. The coffee takes about 12 to 15 minutes to brew. My favorite parts of the coffee brewer are: 1) the measuring spoon attaches to the coffee maker 2) the ability to set the time I want the coffee to brew, 3) having options of what type the type of coffee I would like for example (classic or rich brew) 4) being able to set the timer off when I want the coffee maker to start brewing the coffee 5) the ability to pull the carafe off the coffee maker in mid-brew 6) the fact the coffee brewer will turn off after it has been left on for an extended time. This helps me greatly as I live with elderly family in the house who sometimes forgets to power the machine off. When filling the water reservoir, I would prefer glass instead of the container being made of plastic because it makes me wonder if the measurement of the cups will eventually come off. Other than that, I like the product. It gets the job done!

If your tired of your old coffee pot and don’t want to get a single cup coffee maker this is the coffee maker for you. It brings the new features of a single cup coffee maker to your old pot and then some. The best features I like are the carafe is heated which you don’t always get with other brands. You also don’t need to fill up the carafe any more and dump it in the back this machine allows you to remove the water tank fill it up and attach it back to the machine. If you really want you can still fill up the carafe and dump it into the tank but the new way let’s you save time and less chances of water spillage. The option of selecting a smaller batch is cool but you could do that with your old system by just dumping how much water you wanted. Your standard timer is provided and easy to use and a feature my single cup brewer will never have. I wouldn’t switch from my single cup machine but this is a good machine for the weekends for when I want more than one cup or company comes over. I included pictures of the exterior so you can see all the features and options. Way too many to list.

If you need to place this under a cabinet DON’T!! It will ruin your cabinets. Gives off way too much steam.

After 3-weeks, I seriously love the Ninja 12-cup coffee brewing system. A perfect drip coffee consistent pot after pot. The water tank is easy to fill either by pouring water into it or removing the tank and filling it from the tap ( my sink has a carbon water filter). The coffee filter inside the Ninja brewer has a fine mesh gold screen filter medium. Works well enough but I prefer to still add my paper media inside it as it filters the fine coffee grind residue even further. If you brew 4 or less cups, just push the 4-cup button for a perfect brew. I make 6-cups (half a pot) and after a few adjustments for strength versus desired flavor, each pot is now great. Built in bright white-blue clock allows you to program a start brew time so your morning coffee is waiting. Automatically turns off if you forget or leave it warming for 2-hours. Strong or regular there is a setting for this too. I like the easy to remove lid on the pot making it easy for my large hands to wash out the glass pot.

Coffee came out perfect. I am not a coffee snot but Ninja made it easy for me to make a great cup. Comes with a measuring spoon that attached to the maker and water reservoir are perfectly matched. Settings for classic vs rich brew is a little noticeable. Comes with reusable filter which is great the only downside with any of these filters is you get the fine coffee grinds that pass through into the carafe. No big deal but if you drain the last of the carafe expect a zing of grinds. Water reservoir removes for easy and accurate filling. Overall look is a nice blend between stainless and black. Setup was a cinch. Programming time was easy. Programming for delayed brew was easy to setup after reading the instructions. The display is nice and soft on the eyes and not too bright at night and not like the standard LCD screen that looks like a calculator screen and you can't see in the dark or during the day. Only thing I could ding this design would be the short electrical cord. Overall I would recommend this coffee maker.
