I signed in just to leave a comment and like the video. I honestly wasn't expecting this review to be as engaging as it was. I think you seem very genuine and personable. Thank you for the demonstration!
I was a DD guy, 2 Large cups/day = $6.00 +... I had my ninja maker in a box for quite a while.. but one day I decided to try it out and well the coffee is simply put delicious and I have had no desire to buy coffee outside anymore. Not to mention I can add cinnamon and/or nutmeg any time I want a little extra flavor.
My brother has one and told me to buy one. So here I am and I’m more pleased with your attitude than the coffee machine! I’m still going to look into one of these
As usual, I'm late to the table. I bought one of these about five or six years ago, The carafe was already broken. So, I got a great deal. Then, I set it aside and forgot about it. Today, I thought I would take it out and make a cup of coffee, but I didn't know how. Luckily, I found this video. Those were great instructions. Thank you.
Wow, Thank you SO much! I am 11 years old and I was looking to do something special for my grandma... I just did not know how to use it! Now I know! TYSM!
When you froth the milk, use a taller glass. Love your video. I’ve been on the fence about purchasing one, but after watching, I went ahead and ordered it. I might be able to help with the dripping from the frothed thingy, though (I used to work in a bar that used a milkshake mixer to mix drinks. It worked well but made a gross, sticky, drippy mess!) When the frothing is done, hold the glass lower and spin the frothing thingy. It should get the drippy stuff off so you can have time to put something below it before more starts to drip off.
My boyfriend got me this for Christmas,and it is sitting on my counter top as decoration.Thank you for helping me to figure out how it works.I will definitely start to use it.
I just bought a NInja CF111 model from someone sellingin Offerup for $20. I downloaded the instructions but it's so much to read whereby just you explaining here in much simpler and faster to understand the basics. Thank you!
I watched your video in the past and today once again because I was blessed with this exact one and @ first I had to give it a cleaning as well as get familiar with. And this morning I wanted to make sure if I was correctly doing as I had forgotten how you showed me. And yes i was only I had forgotten the couple of features it has. Your video was very very helpful , keep up the great job. And I love it as well. Cleaning it was a breeze as mine was not clean but practically new needing a good cleaning which I hear the more often you use it’s advisable to do every other month.
Former high end coffee shop gm here. You need to buy some cafiza (search on amazon/eBay) to clean that gold filter and your carafe. Boiling water and a bit of cafiza in the carafe, dunk in the filter and give a quick scrub-sponge wipe. Rinse thoroughly after. Believe me, it makes all the difference in the world.
After Keurig kept tripping the breaker in my new construction home (apparently this is an issue) ...I just purchased this and it was so easy to use right out of the box. Love it
Great video! I own the same machine and I use it daily I love it so much. I’m going to make myself a cup of coffee now :) For a delicious strong coffee I use Starbucks blonde espresso coffee beans that they are able to grind for you at NO cost to grind the beans (spent $12) Brew a cup Use frother for heavy whipping cream Add sugar free vanilla syrup 1 stevia You’re welcome! Btw ... this coffee is a keto recipe too
Just got one for Christmas and i am IN LOVE. I’m an iced coffee person and my husband is a hot coffee person. It’s MY Christmas present but we will both be using it!
Thank you so much for your video! I have had mine for about 8 months and only used it twice because it did seem intimidating. My daughter had to use it first but now I think I can do it. I can’t wait to use the frother!!! Thanks again!!!
I wanted to know what the temperature was of the water being distributed into the basket. So I dug out my thermocouple and hooked it up and tested the thing. The dispensed water is held 90% of its time between 195 and 205 degrees. This is what the coffee experts always claim is ideal. I do know from experience this is rarely this case when it comes to most coffee pots . And why many coffee pots taste pretty bad. Always knew it made really good hot coffee.
Thank you so much for the demonstration! I appreciate it. I have one of these that my niece brought home from her teacher, and I wasn’t certain how to use or clean it. Now I know. Thank you so much for your help! 5 stars! ⭐️
Thanks for the video! Our Keurig messed up and we were in the market for a coffee brewer that would make a single serve cup with a milk frother. This was our fourth Keurig. Customer service said the could only replace it if we had the receipt... from two years ago. A no go.
I have had that Ninja Coffee Maker sitting unused in a box since November...that is 6 months!!! I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use it. You make it look so easy! I am going to make myself a fancy cup of coffee RIGHT NOW!!!
Thanks for this! I have a Ninja blender and I love it. I had no idea that they made coffee makers. My Keurig is on its last legs and we spend waaaay too much for coffee pods.
Oh good! I'm so glad this was helpful for you then! YES... the coffee pods can get outrageous! I love buying a bag of grounds again and using this instead!
They came out with a new model that looks exactly the same (CM400) and I wasn't sure if I wanted to get it since it looked confusing to make lattes and etc. for my girlfriend. I want to buy it for my new apartment and I went from Definitely not getting this.. I then watched your video and I ordered it! Now I can make coffees and lattes for my girl at my new apartment.. Thanks to you I can now make many things with this machine!! You made my life at home so much better for mornings and it tastes better the dunkin and Starbucks... PLEASE KEEP MAKING VIDEOS. Really helped me out
Just saw this at Walmart today and now after watching your video I'm totally getting it! It looked like everything I want in a coffee maker and seeing how easy it is has me hooked now!
I’m late to the video but we’re buying ours tonight and I CANT WAIT!!! I told my husband that I would watch videos to figure out how to use it. Right now I have a Keurig and a coffee pot on my counter so I can’t wait to replace them with this beautiful thing! Thanks for the video 😁
Ninja for the win! My wife or son threw out the frother with the box the day I got it but I ordered a new one and tried it for the first time today. It was awesome.
Thanks! Great video! I'm looking at this thing right now. I use a hario pour over method right now with some seriously good beans but I need a way to make more than a cup at the time. BTW....The reason it pauses is to let the water absorb into the grounds. If you let it sit (I actually stir the initial pour of water on my hario to help it mix thoroughly) you will wind up with dry areas where the water never gets into the grounds and they are wasted.
How to start brewing coffee would have been the perfect thing to start off with, for those people that are not their lovely selfs before coffee. Although you covered so much other information first which I’m sure would be helpful to someone with more patience in the morning (it wasn’t me this time). Thanks for your help.
Mine is still in box and I’m opening it tomorrow! I’m excited! Thank you for doing this video cuz I’ve been nervous to open this due to thinking it’s complicated...
I have the same one. I’m here to see if I’m missing anything lol (I just got mine the other day) one thing I thought of tho is I just grab some water and “froth” the water to clean it 😁 works great my friend!
K cups are really phasing out finally, because they're not so environmentally friendly! People really seem to be more conscious of theyir waste presently and it's a lovely thing to see! This one even has the reusable ground basket.. I'm really considering one of these. Thanks for the review! You're a gem
Just bought one today on sale @ canadian tire. I wanted to try the frother. Honestly my hubby and I said that was the best cup of coffee we had. Loved the frothy milk. We were tired of the keurig and were using a perculator which made great coffee but so much more work. Love this machine, hope it lasts.
Thought I was the only person that doesn't pull the security lid off containers all the way, thanks for showing me I'm not alone haha. Awesome review, thanks!
Since I am visually impaired, I don’t really like the new model of the ninja coffee bar. I had a chance to touch one last year in Walmart on the display. I like the older model because it stops when I turn the dial. The dial on the new machine goes around and around where it doesn’t stop like the first model when it came out. So when I buy the coffee bar, I’m getting the first model that came along. But, I will say that the buttons is very easy for me to work with from the classic brew all the way down to the specialty brew. Thanks for this video.
I can understand you troubles with the dial. The new machine only had 5 or 6 different types or coffee sizes. If you spin the dial enough you are sure to get to the end of that list. The dial doesnt get to the end of the list and then start over, the selection will stay on the las size option no matter how many times you turn it.
Thank you for posting this! I just got one from one of my daughters-in-law, they never use it. They couldn't find the instruction manual so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. One question I have is, for the frother, or blender whatever it's called, can I use half&half? That's what I prefer in my coffee.
I have this coffee maker too! Love it. To keep the froth drip from getting everywhere I twist the frother to take it off, carry it over my coffee and take it to the sink. Hope that helps! :)
has anyone tried the over ice option? does it brew hot coffee or is the coffee itself cold when it brews? I'm looking for a machine that might do both because I only like iced coffee but hubby only likes hot........thanks a bunch!!
I made a cup of iced coffee with mine this week. It has you place ice in your cup before brewing, to me it was colder than a cup I buy while out running errands. I realize your question was asked 11 months ago, I hope you found your answer already. 😊
The pause in the brewing is because it's letting the coffee grinds bloom. Basically it lets the grinds soak up the water and then gives it a chance to release the carbon dioxide that is expelled when it first comes in contact with hot water. That's the main trick to getting coffee to taste smoother and why a french press usually makes good coffee if used correctly.
Just found one at goodwill for 5$. Pretty much brand new probably used once. Missing the pot though. Know my gf will be super excited after watching this video, thanks!
My hubby just got me this Coffee maker a few days ago can't wait to use it as soon as I'm able to pull it out lol, been busy Mommy of 3 needs that caffeine ☕
I just purchased the newest model. I believe it is 301. I am in love. This thing is awesome. There are separate filters for coffee or tea. Settings for tea and it will determine hot hot the kind of tea needs to be when brewing.
Fantabulosity the latest model is fantastic for those that also love tea. It can do loose leaf as well as tea bags which blew me away. There are settings for herbal, green tea, white tea, black tea and speciality. This machine is incredible for coffee and tea lovers.
Love this video. I love how it has a personal touch and super helpful. My only question is; do I have to use a coffee filter? I don’t see you using one. I tried making espresso and I can taste the coffee grind a bit.
Enjoyed your video. I have the CF091 and I’m having a problem with it. I can’t get a cup of coffee out of it because the water is collecting in the basket instead of dripping into the cup. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
I'm not sure! Have you tried wiping the bottom of the basket (not the mesh basket) the black, plastic basket that has a center "button-like" thing that pushes up, to allow the water to drip out?
Thank you Steven! I prefer it over a k-cup for sure. I can taste the plastic of a k-cup. (I didn't realize that until I started making coffee in the Ninja, after.) Yes, I just like the foam. :)
@@Fantabulosity I agree about K-Cups. I got a Cuisinart DCC-2650P1 coffee maker for my birthday I really liked, but it started acting up a month after I got it. The clean light came on so I cleaned it. Then it took 20 minutes to brew 6 cups, and all I got was 4 cups of coffee. I unplugged it for 30 minutes to reset it. Brewed another pot and the cleaning light came on. It's still under warranty so Cuisinart was supposed to send me a new one. That was ten days ago. Still waiting on another one. Hope it's better. Enjoy your day. Thanks.
I replaced my $10 cheap-o with one of these I picked upfor $10 at a thrif store. I thought that whole "thermal control" bs was bs. However, I must say, it really is good. I mean it seems that i makes less bitter coffee.
I’m interested in knowing how this is working now that there’s been some time passed. I’ve seen reviews where a couple years go by and it no longer works or barely works.
I bought mine last yr and it stopped working 6 mths after. I've cleaned it with the vinegar and it still doesnt want to work properly for me. I'm so disappointed.
Ours is two years old and still works great. The only weak point is the lever that you slide left and right for the drip stop feature. Just don’t use too much force
yep... i bought one in July 2020 and in November it stopped making coffee...took 45 minutes to make coffee and did not do a pot. When i tried to invoke the warranty, they told me I have to cover the cost of shipping...which is baloney. They troubled me with over an hour of on the phone problem solving before all of this then told me, i had to pay more to get a replacement. I told them forget it. it's all Chinese stuff and the chips are not made well... you're right, time... don't expect a 30 year coffee pot...this is months before the chip fails...China's many underhanded offerings.
I hope that I haven't missed this question in this thread. Can you tell me if the machine would hold enough for 2 or 3 cups without using the caraf? I want avoid using a carafe (the majority of the time anyway). I was going to purchase the Cuisinart coffee on demand for the 2nd time because it holds 10 cups until I want a cup. That model does have some issues though.
Hi Zia! I'm not 100% if this would work but I do know it has a "drip stop" so if you made a "big" cup, it makes me wonder if it would make enough for a couple of cups, and you could just use the drip-stop when the cup fills up??? So I'm not much help... because I don't know if that's even good for the machine but it was the only thing I could think of! I've never heard of that capability but that's pretty neat!
I don't have the cup sizes for the presets. I drink two 4oz cups in the morning. The preset for the smallest cup option (8oz) is more than I want for each cup and I don't to drink 18oz cup. What is the best way to make one 4oz cup?
I'm a big Tea and Hot Cocoa person... our current coffee mate has a separate hot water dispenser attached to the coffee maker. My question is: Does this work for individual cups of just Hot Water? Or will all the water that goes thru have a slight Coffee taste?
It is! You can put a filter in it if you like, but I don't mind it! I just rinse it out and the coffee machine is by my sink now so it makes it super easy!
Hey, I loved your video. I want to buy this model, but I've read a lot of people complaining about it and "the 5 beeps of death", so I'm not pretty sure about my decision now. I wanted to know if you have had any problem or how is your machine working so far...I need to know because I'm in Ecuador, so it would be really difficult to get a replacement or a spare. Thank youuuu
Hi Michelle! You know, I still love mine. I've heard of others saying that too so I'm not sure if it's a different model or what may be going on. The Keurig was a LOT more trouble than this Ninja ever has been. As of now, I'd buy another Ninja in a heartbeat! I hope that helps and good luck if you buy one! I hope you love it too!
Just bought one and I must say when you use the specialty brew setting it makes some of the best darn coffee I have ever had!!! Well worth the money considering Im not buying coffee by the cup anymore.
came here for the coffee machine review, which I loved, but I also love your review style and personality! so fun, honest and carefree😁 sub+1! I like that you actually demo'ed it! I've noticed myself becoming more and more of a coffee drinker of the past couple of years and am excited to try this machine and that frother! can finally start trying to make some 'pinky up' drinks! 😉 Thanks for the review!
hi i’m sorry maybe i missed this but could you tell me what specific coffee maker this is? down to the serial number or product number? i’m looking to buy one and i’ve been watching lots of videos for reviews. this one is by far the most informative so thank you! im ust confused on which one this actually is. there’s SO many coffee bars! also, this is 2 years later do you still love it? does it still work as well? do you still recommend it?
Hi Mariah! You know, I'm not sure if they're still making this exact model but I'd buy another (newer) model in a heartbeat if I had to. But I'm still using this one, every single day and still love it. I could only bring a few things with me in a recent move across country and I made SURE to make room for this. Haha. I hope that helps. But the exact model I have is this one: amzn.to/3mQn9UA and this particular listing looks like it's a "renewed" which means "refurbished". But that may be all that's left these days with this exact model! I hope that helps!
Have I been out of touch or have you been gone? I’ve missed you! Great to have you back! If you haven’t been gone then this is the first video of yours that has shown up on my feed in quite some time!
Ah! No Gerri... it's not you, it's me! I've been so incredibly busy and covered up with...well... LIFE. I finally feel like I'm getting back in the swing of things and will be doing more videos! But thank you so much for dropping a note to let me know that you haven't seen me! It helps encourage me to get back on video more! :) XO
I think that process where it spits out a little coffee is called blooming. I hand pour over my coffee and you’re supposed to add just enough water to cover your beans when you’re starting a brew before you add more water. I forgot why this is though.
Omg if you love coffee, get it! You won't regret it! Definitely shop around for lower prices, we found ours at Macy's for like $120 right before Christmas, and Khols was still selling them for $169!
Hi Susan! Thank you so much. That cup is about an 8-10oz cup if I had to guess. But there are different sizes available to choose from on the Ninja! I hope that helps!
I got one today but i wanted the one with chrome ob the bottom and power buttons.. Mine is black on bottom and power on the dial part. I dont understand why would they make 2 different kinds.. I wanted the one you have. I could not fine in stores
@@Fantabulosity thanks! I have it on my list to purchase and appreciate your review and recent feedback. Looks like it’ll be a purchase soon for me lol

the machine spits out a bit water then stop is to
"prewetting" coffee grinds and let it sit for 30 sec,
it's called "bloom"
Yes!
Great video! I own the same machine and I use it daily I love it so much. I’m going to make myself a cup of coffee now :)
For a delicious strong coffee I use Starbucks blonde espresso coffee beans that they are able to grind for you at NO cost to grind the beans (spent $12)
Brew a cup
Use frother for heavy whipping cream
Add sugar free vanilla syrup
1 stevia
You’re welcome!
Btw ... this coffee is a keto recipe too
That sounds GREAT! Thank you so much for the idea and recipe!
What is the serial number to this machine I can’t remember to find one with the cafe forte option on the market?
I’d be careful with the stevia packets as they contain sucrolose
Heating up my creamer?! OMG you just blew my mind, what an inspiration!! why on earth I never thought of this. TY TY TY!!!!
Just got one for Christmas and i am IN LOVE. I’m an iced coffee person and my husband is a hot coffee person. It’s MY Christmas present but we will both be using it!
Yay!!!! I think you'll love it!
Thank you so much for your video! I have had mine for about 8 months and only used it twice because it did seem intimidating. My daughter had to use it first but now I think I can do it. I can’t wait to use the frother!!! Thanks again!!!

Woohoo!!! I'm so glad you were able to get a replacement and so glad that you like it!
Thank you so much. I am still deciding between this and a Nespresso and this is winning. I appreciate that you showed how to use it. :) Thanks again.

My husband purchased this for me. I was scared to say goodbye to my Keurig but I think I’m going to like it :)
I hope you love it as much as we do!
Thought I was the only person that doesn't pull the security lid off containers all the way, thanks for showing me I'm not alone haha. Awesome review, thanks!
Haha! Thank you so much. That means a lot!
Since I am visually impaired, I don’t really like the new model of the ninja coffee bar. I had a chance to touch one last year in Walmart on the display. I like the older model because it stops when I turn the dial. The dial on the new machine goes around and around where it doesn’t stop like the first model when it came out. So when I buy the coffee bar, I’m getting the first model that came along. But, I will say that the buttons is very easy for me to work with from the classic brew all the way down to the specialty brew. Thanks for this video.
I can understand you troubles with the dial.
The new machine only had 5 or 6 different types or coffee sizes.
If you spin the dial enough you are sure to get to the end of that list.
The dial doesnt get to the end of the list and then start over, the selection will stay on the las size option no matter how many times you turn it.
I just received this coffee make for Christmas. Thank you for the informative video.
How exciting!! I hope you love it as much as we do!
Thank you for posting this! I just got one from one of my daughters-in-law, they never use it. They couldn't find the instruction manual so I've been trying to figure out how to use it. One question I have is, for the frother, or blender whatever it's called, can I use half&half? That's what I prefer in my coffee.
Hi there! Absolutely!!
@@Fantabulosity Thank you!
I have this coffee maker too! Love it. To keep the froth drip from getting everywhere I twist the frother to take it off, carry it over my coffee and take it to the sink. Hope that helps! :)
Yes! I actually started doing that recently and it does make it much easier, thank you!
has anyone tried the over ice option? does it brew hot coffee or is the coffee itself cold when it brews? I'm looking for a machine that might do both because I only like iced coffee but hubby only likes hot........thanks a bunch!!
I want to know too but even iced coffee is brewed hot over a bunch of ice
I made a cup of iced coffee with mine this week. It has you place ice in your cup before brewing, to me it was colder than a cup I buy while out running errands. I realize your question was asked 11 months ago, I hope you found your answer already. 😊
thank you, you have made my decision easy!!! wanted to do something different then the keurig
Oh good, I'm so glad it's helpful!
I have on never used the frother, but I'm going to try it thank you .
Oh good! I'm glad you'll give it a try!
The pause in the brewing is because it's letting the coffee grinds bloom. Basically it lets the grinds soak up the water and then gives it a chance to release the carbon dioxide that is expelled when it first comes in contact with hot water. That's the main trick to getting coffee to taste smoother and why a french press usually makes good coffee if used correctly.
This is super helpful! Thank you!
Just found one at goodwill for 5$. Pretty much brand new probably used once. Missing the pot though. Know my gf will be super excited after watching this video, thanks!
Wow! That's awesome! I'd love to find one of these there!
My hubby just got me this Coffee maker a few days ago can't wait to use it as soon as I'm able to pull it out lol, been busy Mommy of 3 needs that caffeine ☕
Haha, I understand! I hope you love it!
Very cool....I still have my Keurig but maybe a Ninja for Christmas this year?! 🤔 Thanks for sharing Jessica!
Ooooh! YES YES!
I just purchased the newest model. I believe it is 301. I am in love. This thing is awesome. There are separate filters for coffee or tea. Settings for tea and it will determine hot hot the kind of tea needs to be when brewing.
Oh how cool is that!? I had no idea! Thank you for sharing!
Fantabulosity the latest model is fantastic for those that also love tea. It can do loose leaf as well as tea bags which blew me away. There are settings for herbal, green tea, white tea, black tea and speciality. This machine is incredible for coffee and tea lovers.
This is SUPER helpful to know. Thank you for sharing this!
Love this video. I love how it has a personal touch and super helpful. My only question is; do I have to use a coffee filter? I don’t see you using one. I tried making espresso and I can taste the coffee grind a bit.
I don't use a filter! The mesh filter worked for me but you can absolutely use one!
what will be the type of Grind to use if to buy a whole bean coffee?
You just made this so easy to use, I am definitely going to buy one now 😊👍🏼thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Thank YOU for letting me know!
If you’re drinking Folgers you’ve never really made coffee! However great video and your precious! Thanks 🙏
Haha!
Enjoyed your video. I have the CF091 and I’m having a problem with it. I can’t get a cup of coffee out of it because the water is collecting in the basket instead of dripping into the cup. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thanks!
I'm not sure! Have you tried wiping the bottom of the basket (not the mesh basket) the black, plastic basket that has a center "button-like" thing that pushes up, to allow the water to drip out?
Does it make better coffee than the K-cup? What’s the benefit of frothing your cream or is it just for the foam? Excellent review.
Thank you Steven! I prefer it over a k-cup for sure. I can taste the plastic of a k-cup. (I didn't realize that until I started making coffee in the Ninja, after.) Yes, I just like the foam. :)
@@Fantabulosity I agree about K-Cups. I got a Cuisinart DCC-2650P1 coffee maker for my birthday I really liked, but it started acting up a month after I got it. The clean light came on so I cleaned it. Then it took 20 minutes to brew 6 cups, and all I got was 4 cups of coffee. I unplugged it for 30 minutes to reset it. Brewed another pot and the cleaning light came on. It's still under warranty so Cuisinart was supposed to send me a new one. That was ten days ago. Still waiting on another one. Hope it's better. Enjoy your day. Thanks.
I am in the market for a new coffee maker and I think this may be the one!! Thank you!!
Excellent! If you get this one I hope you love it too!
I have the older version , With out the coffee pot and the clock, I love it!!!
Oh good!!! That's great to hear!
I stay at home with friends dog, and I try to make a coffee few times. Thanks for your video! It’s help me enjoy good coffee. (Sorry for my English)
Oh good! Your English is wonderful. :)
I replaced my $10 cheap-o with one of these I picked upfor $10 at a thrif store. I thought that whole "thermal control" bs was bs. However, I must say, it really is good. I mean it seems that i makes less bitter coffee.
I wonder if you will see this but how much do you think the little scooper holds? I was gifted a use one and its missing the scoop.
Great question! You can actually get a replacement scoop here: (paid link) amzn.to/3M46gog
Just bought one today....freaking love this machine
Yay!! I do too!! It's so great!
Could that coffee stopping be called Blooming?
Yes! It is!
I’m interested in knowing how this is working now that there’s been some time passed. I’ve seen reviews where a couple years go by and it no longer works or barely works.
I still love it! I use it every day!
Fantabulosity Thank you for replying!!! Great to know!
I bought mine last yr and it stopped working 6 mths after. I've cleaned it with the vinegar and it still doesnt want to work properly for me. I'm so disappointed.
Ours is two years old and still works great. The only weak point is the lever that you slide left and right for the drip stop feature. Just don’t use too much force
yep... i bought one in July 2020 and in November it stopped making coffee...took 45 minutes to make coffee and did not do a pot. When i tried to invoke the warranty, they told me I have to cover the cost of shipping...which is baloney. They troubled me with over an hour of on the phone problem solving before all of this then told me, i had to pay more to get a replacement. I told them forget it. it's all Chinese stuff and the chips are not made well... you're right, time... don't expect a 30 year coffee pot...this is months before the chip fails...China's many underhanded offerings.
I hope that I haven't missed this question in this thread. Can you tell me if the machine would hold enough for 2 or 3 cups without using the caraf? I want avoid using a carafe (the majority of the time anyway). I was going to purchase the Cuisinart coffee on demand for the 2nd time because it holds 10 cups until I want a cup. That model does have some issues though.
Hi Zia! I'm not 100% if this would work but I do know it has a "drip stop" so if you made a "big" cup, it makes me wonder if it would make enough for a couple of cups, and you could just use the drip-stop when the cup fills up??? So I'm not much help... because I don't know if that's even good for the machine but it was the only thing I could think of! I've never heard of that capability but that's pretty neat!
I don't have the cup sizes for the presets. I drink two 4oz cups in the morning. The preset for the smallest cup option (8oz) is more than I want for each cup and I don't to drink 18oz cup. What is the best way to make one 4oz cup?
Hi there! Do you have a "specialty" button on yours? If so, I would try that!
We have this one at work and I have to make coffee tomorrow morning and I am very intimidated on by it lol Thank you so much for teaching me how!!😂
Haha, you're so welcome!
Can i use cold filtered water from say my fridge dispenser? Or should i only use filtered room temp water?
I'm not sure but I don't see why you couldn't!
Do you recommend a reusable filter? What's the best reusable filter?
I'm a big Tea and Hot Cocoa person... our current coffee mate has a separate hot water dispenser attached to the coffee maker. My question is: Does this work for individual cups of just Hot Water? Or will all the water that goes thru have a slight Coffee taste?
Just to ask ... Is the DELAY function just that, or can it be used as a set timer?
So, is two specialties the equivalent of a cafe forte, or do they taste different?
Was that a reusable coffee filter? How do you like using that?
It is! You can put a filter in it if you like, but I don't mind it! I just rinse it out and the coffee machine is by my sink now so it makes it super easy!
Hey, I loved your video. I want to buy this model, but I've read a lot of people complaining about it and "the 5 beeps of death", so I'm not pretty sure about my decision now. I wanted to know if you have had any problem or how is your machine working so far...I need to know because I'm in Ecuador, so it would be really difficult to get a replacement or a spare. Thank youuuu
Hi Michelle! You know, I still love mine. I've heard of others saying that too so I'm not sure if it's a different model or what may be going on.
The Keurig was a LOT more trouble than this Ninja ever has been. As of now, I'd buy another Ninja in a heartbeat! I hope that helps and good luck if you buy one! I hope you love it too!
I do four scoops for a full pot. Didn’t know I was making it that strong!!
Thank you SO MUCH for this!! I just got this last 2 weeks ago and still haven’t figured it out😂
Happy to help!
please show how you clean it? Do you leave the carafe on it?
Hi there! I did! You can see the video here: ruclips.net/video/q3AVdiF2X0o/видео.html
This was the best coffee maker purchase I have ever made! I loved learning how to use it. So worth buying!!
Right?! We still love ours too!
Just bought one and I must say when you use the specialty brew setting it makes some of the best darn coffee I have ever had!!! Well worth the money considering Im not buying coffee by the cup anymore.
Ooooh!!! That's so awesome! So glad that you like the Ninja too!!
Paleo Geology I just bought one and I am disappointed the coffee is not really hot, once you add milk it’s barely hot
agreed! just got one for Christmas, used the same coffee and creamer I've always used- but when made with the Ninja it tastes AMAZING!
came here for the coffee machine review, which I loved, but I also love your review style and personality! so fun, honest and carefree😁 sub+1! I like that you actually demo'ed it! I've noticed myself becoming more and more of a coffee drinker of the past couple of years and am excited to try this machine and that frother! can finally start trying to make some 'pinky up' drinks! 😉 Thanks for the review!
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad that you liked it! Haha, I hope you love the machine as much as I do! :) Thanks again!
this lady is so natural and funny
Haha, thank you and thank you for stopping by!
hi i’m sorry maybe i missed this but could you tell me what specific coffee maker this is? down to the serial number or product number? i’m looking to buy one and i’ve been watching lots of videos for reviews. this one is by far the most informative so thank you! im ust confused on which one this actually is. there’s SO many coffee bars! also, this is 2 years later do you still love it? does it still work as well? do you still recommend it?
Hi Mariah! You know, I'm not sure if they're still making this exact model but I'd buy another (newer) model in a heartbeat if I had to. But I'm still using this one, every single day and still love it. I could only bring a few things with me in a recent move across country and I made SURE to make room for this. Haha. I hope that helps. But the exact model I have is this one: amzn.to/3mQn9UA and this particular listing looks like it's a "renewed" which means "refurbished". But that may be all that's left these days with this exact model! I hope that helps!
Have I been out of touch or have you been gone? I’ve missed you! Great to have you back! If you haven’t been gone then this is the first video of yours that has shown up on my feed in quite some time!
Ah! No Gerri... it's not you, it's me! I've been so incredibly busy and covered up with...well... LIFE. I finally feel like I'm getting back in the swing of things and will be doing more videos! But thank you so much for dropping a note to let me know that you haven't seen me! It helps encourage me to get back on video more! :) XO
I think that process where it spits out a little coffee is called blooming. I hand pour over my coffee and you’re supposed to add just enough water to cover your beans when you’re starting a brew before you add more water. I forgot why this is though.
That makes sense! Thank you!
I’ve been thinking about that coffee pot a lot!
Oh really!? I think you'd love it!
Adybears Momma I have it and I love it so much I use it daily
Omg if you love coffee, get it! You won't regret it! Definitely shop around for lower prices, we found ours at Macy's for like $120 right before Christmas, and Khols was still selling them for $169!

Love this, my husband and I are looking for our next ninja product. Fantastic demo, how much does your cup hold. Thank you
Hi Susan! Thank you so much. That cup is about an 8-10oz cup if I had to guess. But there are different sizes available to choose from on the Ninja! I hope that helps!
I got one today but i wanted the one with chrome ob the bottom and power buttons.. Mine is black on bottom and power on the dial part. I dont understand why would they make 2 different kinds.. I wanted the one you have. I could not fine in stores
Oh shoot. This is the one that I have... amzn.to/2GD0Nla I hope that helps!!
Does this machine have a warmer burner if you make an entire pot? My current one does not and it’s a total bummer.
It does!!! I can't imagine not having that!
I have the kuerig cafe and i dont know if i really like it this looks alot better!
I do love this machine a LOT!
great demonstration of the Ninja coffee bar 👍
Thank you Vince! That means a lot!
What’s the largest yeti/artic cup you can use with this? Thanks in advance.
When you use 2 scoops for more how much of water or what size in the menu of options?
I usually do 2 scoops for a full water reservoir!
If it reach the right temperature It will be my go to I love coffee and I don't get flavor in a regular coffee maker
Is your model the one that also makes tea? Does it also have the cafe forte option?
Does it really make a better cup of coffee than a regular coffee maker?
I’m 18 and lack common sense like you wouldn’t believe. Thanks so much for this EASY video
That’s a glass carafe right? Does the coffee taste burnt after a while since it sits on a hot plate to stay warm?
Yes it's glass! Oh! I've never noticed a burnt taste at all!
Fantabulosity Okay good because I bought it haha
can you use any cup under the brewer or just the one it came with?
Yep! You can use any coffee cup!
Curious to know if you’re still using this 2 years later. And if not how long you did choose to use it.
Hi there! YES! I'm still using it and LOVE it. I recently moved far away and could only bring a few things with me... the Ninja was one of them. ;)
@@Fantabulosity thanks! I have it on my list to purchase and appreciate your review and recent feedback. Looks like it’ll be a purchase soon for me lol
