Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love that it is takes pods and brews. 24 oz mugs fit perfect for the iced brew. Size is perfect and compact. Highly recommend.

Really thoughtful design meets really crappy tasting coffee. No more buying Ninjas for me. The first one I purchased was the 12 cup. That one resulted in bitter, undeveloped coffee. And so did this single serve offering, except it was even more watered down. I used filtered water. I tried three different coffee types - grounds from PEET's and Amazon, and a pod from Dunkin'. Yes, all quite fresh and bought especially to use with the Ninjas. I used the classic option and brewed between 10 and 12 ounces using the suggested amount for grounds, then a little bit less, then a bit more...to get the exact same result. Underdeveloped and weak, bitter, muddy and watery results. Even when it was brewing, no delightful aroma emerged. The brewed cups smelled unappealing. I went and bought Dunkin pods today to finish my experiment. While it brewed the single pod in one minute vs. the three minutes for brewing the grounds, the result was practically identical. The pod coffee was only a tad more developed, yet still watery using 10 ounces. Using the previous coffee machine I bought - the 12 cup Ninja- I had the same poor results with the classic and the rich brews so I felt there was not much point in continuing to squander coffee and $ trying various permutations of settings. Other failures include the instruction manual which includes irrelevant and thus very confusing information, as it covers an entire range of their pod makers and doesn't specify which instructions applicable to which models. For example, it says there are two upper and lower needles on the unit. And that a front nozzle comes off to clean. These are not features of the PB051. And then the customer specialist online was sadly useless. Clearly not familiar with the tech specs of this item, she could not offer simple and concise answers to straightforward questions, and after an hour of pointless dialog, she uploaded the user guide that I already have, and it addressed absolutely none of the issues that I need answers on. So, a mere two stars for the unit as I do think this design is really nice and so wanted the unit to produce flavorful coffee. I will also say I am NO coffee snob. I've been drinking instant and that was far more full-bodied than this. So. Buh bye Ninja.

I like that you have the option to either use ground coffee or a K cup, although I haven’t used a K cup since purchasing it, a few weeks ago. They do make paper filters that you can use inside the basket. It makes clean up a little easier. I found the filters on Amazon.

Very good, economical and multifunctional, but for the cost it is worth it.

We love big cups of coffee. It does great brewing our grounds or using a K-cup. It has all the size options we were looking for that Keurig no longer has. The skinny size is what we were looking for to use in our RV. The price was great for all the options you get. We love this Ninja!

This machine is working as expected. Size is slim which is great for us given the limited space. We only use it to brew K-Cup regular coffee so far. Overall is a good unit and the price was reasonable. The only drawback we noticed is that it does not recognize if you have enough water in the tank before making a cup of coffee. It will stop in the middle of a brew.

Great coffee maker. Look good on the wife’s coffee bar

This is my first coffee maker and I love it. It is very user friendly and offers a great deal of versatlity.

Purchased to replace my Keurig. Heats up instantaneously, makes a great cup of coffee, and the milk frother works well. I havent tried to make with grounds yet but its next on my list. Im trying to get away from using plastics due to the hot liquid/water supposedly transferring microplastics into the coffee.

Absolutely love this machine! It has so many features, everyone is my house gets their preferred coffee

Coffee maker is as advertised. It works efficiently without interruption and produces a hot cup of coffee. Is relatively easy to clean and maintain.

I cannot expect less from Ninja! So far my favorite ❤️ I truly recommend this

I like it. Very easy to use specially when you are rushing to go to work.

Truely enjoy the coffee machine. The ease of use and cleaning are great design characteristics.

I’ve had 7 different keurig coffee makers and was prepared to buy another until i decided to give this a try and am so glad i did! The machine is quieter and the coffee is much better. I would recommend this machine and have been impressed by this inexpensive but excellent performing Ninja

This is a great coffee maker. If you're a one to two cup coffee drinker like me it's great. You can use grounds or pods. Built in storage for the attachment you don't use. It's great. Plenty of brewing options and of course the built in milk frother. Like I can't stop saying how great this is.

I had a Keurig coffee maker for 9 months and it stopped working. I had even purchased a protection plan and was told that model is no longer made. I replaced it with the Ninja coffee maker that does both K-cups and Ground coffee and I LOVE it. No problems whatsoever and even with a protection plan, it was less expensive.

My Keurig was failing and I really wanted to try a different brand. I came across the Ninja and really liked all the capabilities. You can use ground coffee or froth milk! My coffee is very hot and no longer needs microwaving. I highly recommend this jewel!

After some frustration with my old keurig i decided to make the switch to ninja. So far im very happy with it! The storage space alone is enough to buy it. The built in frother is a huge bonus. All in all im sooo happy with this little guy.

Excellent piece of equipment. Serves both ground and pods. Can't go wrong. Love it!
