We switched to the NInja about 6 months ago, and there's no going back for us. We make a full pot first thing in the morning, and then use it for single cups of coffee and tea throughout the day. There's no need to store the single cup insert - it sits nicely right on top of the brewer, and it takes up very little room right next to the machine. We also bought ours on sale for waaaay less than the listed price of the Keurig. One of the great Ninja features you didn't mention is that it has a different path for the water when you choose the tea/hot water setting, so there's no coffe grounds or coffee taste in your tea. You can also choose the water temp - we prefer our green teas at the 'hot' setting rather than boil. There is a slight issue with the Ninja carafe: it doesn't empty easily. To pour out ALL the coffee or hot water you need to hold the thing almost upside down! And ours does beep when the water's low. Even when the Ninja costs more than the Keurig there's no comparison: The Ninja is a more versatile brewer with more features that can accomidate both coffee and tea drinkers.
Dangit... I forgot to mention the water pathing...that was nice. I've seen some people compaining about coffee grounds getting into the cup when using the k-cup attachment. Have you had any issues with that? We typically just brew full carafe's so we haven't seen that.
FYI, there is now an adapter for the Ninja Dual brew CFP302/CFP305 for ground coffee. It came out recently, and I purchased it. Works great in my opinion.
Having to remove the k-cup adapter form the NInja is a big plus, instead of a minus. Ninja parts can be obtained from their web site, and almost every main part, including the k-cup adapter are available for purchase.
Thanks for the coverage. We have purchased and returned two in a row of the Keurig K-Supreme Plus C Single Serve Coffee Maker, as they both stopped brewing after a couple weeks. Going to step up a notch and based on your review go with the Nimja. Also with all the added features ought to keep my family busy trying to learn the unit
You're welcome.. It's a cool machine... We do 2 full carafes a day and haven't had any kind of issues yet... I don't use the single serve function on it very often often though... Otherwise I'd have a bin full of empty kcups every day. Haha
I bought this unit in December 2021 to replace a previous Keurig. I agree with most of your comments, and really agree that the Ninja is a much better solution for the dual brew option. I rarely use the thermal carafe, and prefer to brew fresh single k-cups with my own coffee (2 or 3 in a row) in the k-cup adaptor from Amazon (I didn't think the plastic top would hold up, but it's been doing fine for several months, with using an inner liner too, which makes for easier cleanup, and I can drop it into a compost bin). I also feel like the thermal carafe does not clean well, and the coffee tastes less "fresh" to me. Have used most of the other features with success, including frother, iced setting, hot water (with no coffee contamination), etc. Footprint is excellent for a dual brew. I also feel the separate k-cup attachment is a great idea, not an issue, especially when it allows for a smaller total unit. I have really loved the machine until it suddenly stopped working yesterday. Turns on, but attempts to brew and turns off. I tried unplugging up to 24 hrs as recommended, still no Joe. Found out today it is covered under a "limited warranty," and she confirmed they are sending a new motor unit, but I have to pay shipping of $22. I asked how do I know this won't happen again in less than a year, and she replied they upgraded the motor unit. I replied if they upgraded it, then there must have been a defect so I should not have to pay anything. She said they upgrade periodocally, etc. so I paid. This is why I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Thanks for your comparison, although I would not give the price win to Keurig due to the extra features you noted on the ninja, so not really apples to apples.
Thanks for the info, Steven! Sorry to hear about that. Would have been nice if they just gifted that part for you. I haven't had any issues with mine yet, but I've pretty much just used the carafe.... But I do brew a couple of pots most days, and so far we've been pretty fortunate with reliability. Hopefully the problem doesn't surface on you again. Agree with you about the cleaning... The carafe is a little hard to clean. I use vinegar and lemon juice on the interior of it and scrub it down every so often and that's worked out pretty well for me.
We just unpacked our ninja, we love it! The coffee was wonderful, we tried the iced feature and it was great! Very happy ! And here's the nice part about the ninja pause feature, if you want to use any kind of pot OTHER than the regular pot, you can. Most auto pause features work because the drip apperature and pot are mated, so you can't use that pretty China pot to brew into.
Thanks for the great review. My sister got the Kuerig one for Christmas, and didn't like it and returned it. We just ordered the Ninja and are hoping we love it.
@@JoesPhenomenal I think it was the carafe poor design, like you noted. I'm loving my Ninja Dualbrew Pro. Way faster and better coffee than my regular Keurig, and eveny old ninja coffee bar.
If they could just join the two together you would have one great coffee maker. Ninja does offer more but just for basic cup of coffee I will stay with the others one. Ninja makes really good products. Nice video have a wonderful day.
@@JoesPhenomenal I like the Ninja but Im just throw a k cup in and. Im happy.. I don't do they other stuff. In the morning I drink 1 cup. I did watch them other video. Ninja makes good small appliance I have a few that I will never get rid of.

They both have options for individual cups as well and the ninja can do the iced coffee specifically, but real espresso, not so much, and I never cared too much for the instant kind. There are machines that can do real espresso with the press, and also brew cups and pots of coffee though.
@@JoesPhenomenal which machines are those? I am new to coffee so I might be asking for too much. But I see that Nespresso makes coffee that has alot of foam. Is that the one I should buy?
@@loitersquadX No problem at all. Here goes a link to one on Amazon that I was planning to buy to do a review on. It's a Delonghi. That a good brand for that sort of thing. amzn.to/3RPD8D9

i was waiting on flavor? brewing temperature? Is any coffee drinker here? any other video? i am looking for a good coffee maker for under 200 regardless of how many buttons the machine has .anybody share a link ? is this machine better than the Zojirushi in flavor? I am trying to decide thank you
@@percyflores7517 I don't have the brew temperature numbers on the Keurig, but I know the Ninja varies the brew temperature for coffee between 195 and 205 based on which style you select. Can't really comment too much on the flavor, though. That's pretty subjective and different people are going to have different opinions on that. I think most of the keurig pod are terrible, but I know plenty of people that think they're the greatest coffee ever... go figure.
I hear ya... that was pretty disappointing.. I drink a lot of coffee though, so I just use the caraffe most of the time anyways, so it worked out alright
After 2 Duo's have crapped out on me in three year's, I'm done with Keurig. Just picked up the Ninja Duel Pro and like it so far, but only time will tell if it's any better, durability wise, than the Keurig.....and that's a pretty low bar to hurdle.
Yeah it is.... Keurig has had a reputation for that going back a while. They will usually replace the machines for you, because the get you on the kcup cost.. But it's such a hassle to deal with.. Looks like Ninja is using some sort of proprietary part in theirs... So hopefully better... We usually make full carafes though.
I have the k duo and after having it for about a year and a half keep getting a 1r error code which we were able to fix for about a month before it started up again
Have you called Kuerig about that? A lot of times you can get them to just replace your machine for you. They make all their money on coffee sales, so they're motivated to make sure you can keep using kcups.
We bought a new Ninja Dual Brew Pro. 95% of cups brewed with the K-Cup , leave heavy grounds in each cup. We tried various brands and flavors but not getting a good cup of coffee. My two daughters each have the same Ninja and they don’t have the problems we do. We are lost.
Hmm... I'm thinking that maybe there is a problem with the kcup attachment on your Ninja... Can't really be the k cups if you have thr same problem with different ones... Have you contacted Ninja about it? If you just got it from a local retailer, I might even suggest just making them replace it for you. Sorry to hear that..
That's not good... What's it doing? I still use mine every day, and it's been chuggin' along pretty good. If it's still that new and giving you trouble, I'd try to get it exchanged or put in a warranty claim. Ninja's pretty good about replacing stuff as far as I've seen.
Thanks, Ronald! So far I haven't seen a loose pod for the Ninja machine. It's kind of a bummer. I like making coffee that way. Hopefully they will do something with that.
We purchased a Ninja dual brew a year ago. The machine is now in the trash. Clean function continually interrupts brew (even after cleaning/descaling several times, even used CLR one time but still no joy) ... and the "add water" comes on even when the pitcher is full. Takes several times of "off and on" to clear the errors. This machine also has a lot of steam and spits coffee all over the place when brewing the K-cups. Total waste of money, IMO. We have now purchased the Keurig.
That sucks... sorry to hear that. We've been fortunate with the one here. We brew 2 pots a day on most days and haven't experienced any problems with it at all... We don't use the K-cup feature much though... Could be a problem with that maybe? Did you ever contact Ninja about that? Would be interesting to see what they had to say about it. Sounds like you maybe just had a lemon...hopefully anyways.
My Ninja Dualbrew Pro crapped out after 3 months. I get the dreaded clean light. I went through 10 or so full clean processes to no avail. When brewing with the basket it works fine. I called Ninja because the pod attachment had become so warped from steam I could hardly remove it. After a live review by Ninja support, they decided the pod adapter was defective. They wanted me to pay for a new one, stating it was a consumable part. After voicing my extreme dissatisfaction with this option, they offered a 30% discount. I insisted on speaking with a supervisor upon which they went ahead and agreed to send a new one free of charge with the caveat...the next one was on me. Needless to say, I was livid. After receiving the new adapter, it still failed to perform....shooting out hot steam only. If I put the pod adapter in without a K-Cup it works fine...put a pod in and it blows steam only. There appears to be something wrong with the pump in that it does not press the water through the pod. The dilemma is having to call back and deal with them again with the likely option being they will send a new machine after I return the other one at my cost. Ain't happening...I will yeet it in the garbage and move on to another brand. All this being said, I will never purchase another Ninja product based on their sketchy customer service. This unit is inherently defective in my opinion. The internet is overwhelmed with similar complaints. I have never had a Keurig blow blue steam out so long and so hot it warped the housing.
That's horrible, Wayne. I think I am going to contact their customer service and see if I can get some sort of action on this. I might be able to get some sort of result with having this youtube channel and all... Or not.... Worth a try though. Even if they do something to make it right, it still doesn't excuse how you got treated in the first place. I can't guarantee anything, but it's worth a shot.
My ninja lasted 4 whole months Keurig all the way . The ninja keeps saying cleaning cycle , only used filtered water. Even after multiple cleans still doesn't work properly. My keurig lasted me 8 years, ninja machine is more looks than actual longevity
@@JoesPhenomenal I use ground coffee the most , I don't use the k cup attachment that much. I had the machine for less than one year, on amazon I found a customer with my (indentical) issue. I am the only coffee drinker in the house, so I don't make entire karafs, just a cup a time using the basket. And I like ninja products I have their oven for years used every day same for their blender. And I absolutely love the machine look , frother , water dispenser. But man pretty bummed out by this issue. I was 20 min on the line with ninja. They offered virtually no help "unplug the machine try again " that type of advice. Useless ...
Man... Sorry to hear that. That sucks... I've been pretty lucky with mine. No issues yet, and I brew something like 2 carafes a day.... I think maybe I drink way too much coffee.
I don't like the stainless steel carafe. I've had two and neither one kept my coffee hot. That being said, I will never buy another coffee maker with a stainless steel carafe.
Ours seems to be OK... The trick is that in order for it to stay hot for any real time, you have to brew a full carafe. It needs the energy from all the hot coffee to maintain the heat. If I just do a half, for example, it ends up cooling off within probably about 90 minutes or so... With a full, I can keep it pretty hot for around 3 or 4 hours.... But it's not blazing hot either. I know a lot of people like really hot coffee. So that type really isn't for everyone.
Yep... Sounds about right... Diminishing returns. I didn't have that problem too much since I just sort of guzzle the whole thing down in a couple of hours anyways. Haha
Yep... Excellent point, Miss Viking! That's one of the downsides... I learned the weight of the empty carafe, so I can judge how full it is, but I'm still wrong sometimes on that.
Sucks 😔 most of the coffee makers is about who has more bottoms and you hear the ladies saying things that I love I can my ice coffee and all that crap when the coffee flavors are not full and rich nothing will taste like a commercial one so I paid this much money( ninja pro) and still can't have a good coffee sucks, I should get the Cuisinart perfect temperature or something else.
I found that most coffee people are good candidates for the higher end machines that operate on pressure. Most of the drip coffee machines like these don't make very rich coffee. I use way too much creamer, myself, so I kind of ruin it that way anyways.
Isn't it frustrating to have almost 3K followers and this video only has 24 views? Tells you a lot about your followers. What's the point of having that many people, when you get absolutely zero engagement?

I don't like the stainless steel carafe. I've had two and neither one kept my coffee hot. That being said, I will never buy another coffee maker with a stainless steel carafe.
Ours seems to be OK... The trick is that in order for it to stay hot for any real time, you have to brew a full carafe. It needs the energy from all the hot coffee to maintain the heat. If I just do a half, for example, it ends up cooling off within probably about 90 minutes or so... With a full, I can keep it pretty hot for around 3 or 4 hours.... But it's not blazing hot either. I know a lot of people like really hot coffee. So that type really isn't for everyone.
@@JoesPhenomenal You're right. I like mine blazing hot, and the more I removed from the carafe as I drank the coffee the quicker it cooled down.
Yep... Sounds about right... Diminishing returns. I didn't have that problem too much since I just sort of guzzle the whole thing down in a couple of hours anyways. Haha
Stainless steel you can't see how much coffee is left. Not good :(
Yep... Excellent point, Miss Viking! That's one of the downsides... I learned the weight of the empty carafe, so I can judge how full it is, but I'm still wrong sometimes on that.
Sucks 😔 most of the coffee makers is about who has more bottoms and you hear the ladies saying things that I love I can my ice coffee and all that crap when the coffee flavors are not full and rich nothing will taste like a commercial one so I paid this much money( ninja pro) and still can't have a good coffee sucks, I should get the Cuisinart perfect temperature or something else.
I found that most coffee people are good candidates for the higher end machines that operate on pressure. Most of the drip coffee machines like these don't make very rich coffee. I use way too much creamer, myself, so I kind of ruin it that way anyways.
Isn't it frustrating to have almost 3K followers and this video only has 24 views?
Tells you a lot about your followers. What's the point of having that many people, when you get absolutely zero engagement?
Meh... I'm not too worried. It'll get there. That just posted. ALl the review and comparison stuff eventually starts getting a lot of search traffic.
24 to 24K in 24 months! 😊
Trust the process. Stay the course.
