Ninja Pod & Grounds Specialty XL Single-Serve Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pod Compatible, Brews Grounds, Compact Design, Built-In Milk Frother, 68-oz. Reservoir, 6oz. Cup-24oz. Mug Sizes, Denim Blue, PB055ABL

There is one flaw to this machine that I've discovered the hard way, multiple times. It does NOT move around well with the water reservoir attached. The slightest force will knock it directly over which is no big deal if you like to clean up a gallon of water. I don't know why they didn't find even the most rudimentary way to keep the reservoir locked onto the machine. The Ninja Thirsti Max for instance doesn't have this issue, you'd have to actually try to knock the water reservoir loose. Other than that, the power cord is kind of short. But the coffee functionality is great. You can switch between the grounds adapter with the built in cleanable filter, or the pod adapter which supports any of your Keurig K-Cup style pods. It brews single cups up to 12 oz very quickly, it has a built in milk frother, comes with a spoon with measurements marked off to know how much ground coffee to use, and it has an effective self cleaning function. I haven't used my normal coffee machine that has a carafe a single time since I got this machine. Yea, you go through one k-cup per beverage, but that's fine. The coffee tastes good and it handles stuff like latte k-cups well too.

I bought the XL version about one month ago to replace a Keurig, which was the only I had used. I LOVE this coffee maker. I have not had any problems with the Ninja at all. The attached frother is a nice touch as is the rich roast option and the speciality coffee options. I’ll address the few negative reviews that I have read. The K Cups do not explode if you push them down until you hear a click. I’m not saying that it did not happen to some people, but if you push it down all the way it would resolve the issue. I also don’t have an issue with the water temperature, I find the water temperature to be the same as the Keurig. Its sleek design is also nice as it does not take up a lot of counter space. The variety of colors the Ninja Coffee maker is offered in, is also a plus as you can match it to your kitchen color scheme. It’s easy to operate and gives you many options to brew your coffee your way. I noticed that it is also currently on sale. If you have been unsure of whether to purchase a machine other than Keurig , I would highly recommend that you purchase this Ninja Coffee Maker. I purchased the XL for the extra water capacity . Again, even the Xl has a sleek design and does not take up much counter space. It also stores the coffee ground holder in a compartment in the coffee maker, as well as a coffee scoop. This machine does have the option to use a k cup or ground coffee

Really great value for the money. The coffee tastes fresh and strong, and it brews fast which is perfect for busy mornings. I like that you can use both pods and grounds. The water reservoir is a good size so you’re not constantly refilling. Easy to use, easy to clean, and makes consistently good coffee.

I gotta say, this rivals Keurig and makes a quick and lovely cup of coffee. I've been a coffee drinker all of my life and since I'm old, I started out with a percolator. Eventually Bunn entered the home coffee maker market and I was hooked. Because it had a reservoir to keep water hot and ready to brew at the touch of a button, I got my coffee much faster. Years later, someone gifted me my first Keurig and that was it. I became a single serve coffee maker fanatic. There was nothing faster and no more burnt or stale coffee. Yes, yes - a French press makes the finest cup of coffee but I do not wake up in any condition to use a French press. I need coffee and I need it fast. So Keurig has dominated the single serve arena for quite some time. I have had a number of Keurigs over the years, as well as Nespresso machines and a few espresso machines. In fact, I currently have a delightful Nespresso Vertuo machine that I adore but I don't use heavily because of the very high cost of capsules and the relatively small number of decaf offerings. My Keurig was the heavy hitter until it recently began to just turn off randomly in the middle of brewing a cup of coffee. When searching for a replacement, I happened upon this machine by Ninja. I LOVE Ninja appliances! I have their vacuums, blenders, ice cream makers, a drip coffee maker, and an amazing air fryer with 2 baskets so I was intrigued. This one did offer a 12oz cup size and a rich coffee setting like my recently defunct Keurig so I decided to order. I chose the XL for the larger water reservoir (68oz), although it's still not as large as my Keurig had. When it arrived the next day, I was excited to get brewing but I did take the time to check out all the features (and there are quite a few.) First to mention is that you can use standard K-cups and brew a 6, 8, 10, or 12oz cup of coffee. But the surprising feature is that you can brew ground coffee and select a 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18 or 24oz cup size! You will need to drop in the permanent filter (which stores neatly in a compartment on the side of the machine) but you can fill up a travel mug this way. Wonderful! There is also an Over Ice setting to brew an iced coffee and a Specialty Coffee setting that brews an intense, 4oz, cup of coffee that is similar to espresso in strength and is good for recipes that call for strong brewed coffee. Also, there is a swing out milk frother that's fun. It doesn't heat - only froths - but it's still quite handy and the wand twists off easily for rinsing under the tap. Finally, there is a little cup platform that can be moved up and down, depending upon the size of your cup. I don't move mine because I just use huge mugs. Things I don't like as much are that there is no water filter. I have very hard water in my city, which is death to coffee makers. I have an in-line water filter at my sink but I liked the additional filter on my Keurig so I didn't have to descale quite as often. There is also no option to set the brewing temperature. My husband loves very, very hot coffee so he's noticed this. What I love is that I can get a 12oz cup of coffee on the Rich setting that is wonderful and flavorful and faster that my Keurig ever did, even when it was new. I also like that it's narrower so takes up less, precious, counter space. The buttons on the top are simple to toggle through and select the setting you need. It's just a great little machine that I am using multiple times a day as there are 4 coffee drinkers in the house. I will update should it fail prematurely but so far, I think the coffee maker really suits me.

Ninja does it again with this cold and hot coffee brew machine! Strong, intense, cold -coffee however you like.

Un diseño muy bonito

Great machine so glad. Looks and works great

Me llegó con la caja como si ya fuera usado, no sirve el modo pods, marca error, aun cuando hice lo que dice el manual, calienta el agua, hace ruido extraño y me quemó

I use it with the coffee grounds - it brews nice rich saturated coffee. In my opinion much tastier than any k-pod coffee maker of a comparable compact size. The stone color looks pretty too.
