20 Best Coffee Maker With Removable Water Reservoir (2023 Updated)

The Flex Brew picks up where Keurig leaves off. The coffee comes out richer and much hotter than Keurig and with the same K-cups. It lets me have up to 14 oz per cup whereas my single-serve Keurig caps at 10.

The brewing is slower and more thorough which is probably why the coffee comes out better. Takes about 4 mins. This seems slower than Keurig but it’s the same when you consider that Keurig needs to first heat the water.

My only complaint is that the first couple of weeks the machine was making the coffee with a plasticy taste. It eventually wore off but you’d be advised to run the same K-cup through about a dozen times to flush that away.

This review reminded me of the great machine behind me so I made a cup and am enjoying it. RA.

This Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Single-Serve Coffee Maker Is the Best Coffee Maker That we ever owned! All them folks who talked stink about this machine did not have the machine I paid for! FlexBrew does make a great cup of Joe with No Bitter End.

Ya gave them folks A Free Coffee Makers and They Do Not Tell the Truth About This Choice Product that we LOVE!.

Thank you for the lovely present and it’s red, my favorite, a dream to use. The Hamilton Beach FlexBrew is the first single use coffee maker I’ve ever had or tried and it is wonderful. I had already purchased a few of the pods in anticipation so when it came I unpacked the box and sat down with the instruction manual.

After reading it carefully, I plugged in the machine, placed my cup on the base under the spout, inserted the pod in the funnel, pressing down to make sure it was seated properly, poured in the correct amount of water – checking the water window on the side – and pushed the Bold Brew and waited.

It didn’t take very long and suddenly I was surrounded by the aroma of the Creamy Hazelnut coffee and transported in my mind to a small coffee shop in Seattle when on vacation many years ago – back to reality – and finally, the last drops were in the cup and I pressed the button again and the light went out, the machine was off and my cup of coffee was ready.

I opened the top, taking out the used pod and dropped it into the trash can. Soon, I was sitting in my favorite chair and when I took my first sip of my coffee I sighed. It was wonderful, and every cup I’ve made since has been great.

Then surprise – I found the other funnel. Now, I can use my ground coffee as well as the pods. Hamilton Beach thinks of everything. Again, thank you for the lovely present. It is going to be so much fun trying so many different hot beverages during the cold days of winter and with the Holidays around the corner – it’s time to go shopping.

I bought this as a gift for my coffee-loving boyfriend after trying it out at my parents’ house. It brews great tasting coffee and is so practical! Being able to do single-serve k-cups or a pot of coffee is a great feature.

I also really enjoy the programmable time feature so I can set it to brew the night before for piping hot coffee when I wake up! Not to mention, you can set it to brew the coffee as “bold” which tastes so much better in my opinion.

I would definitely recommend this as it makes a great gift and the value for the product is phenomenal. Best Buy College Crew members receive products to write honest, unbiased reviews. Reviewers have been provided products free of charge and may have received nominal compensation.

The most important thing to note is that after about a week the “keep warm” feature stopped working. Within 15-30 minutes of finishing a brew cycle, the heating plate would shut off. I spoke with Ninja customer service who had me go through a system reset process, but it just wouldn’t stay on (regardless of the time settings I chose.

) In the end, they sent me a new base unit (for $25 shipping – ugh) and this unit doesn’t have that problem. However, my rating is low for many more important reasons than a replaced piece of hardware.

This unit has several features that really just drive me nuts. Maybe these things won’t bother you? First is the front panel. It’s buttons and lights. The buttons require a fairly hard push which means that if you push on them with one hand, the unit slides backwards instead of the button being pushed.

Be prepared to always hold onto the unit with one hand while pushing buttons with the other. So annoying! Next are the lights – they might be red or green – I don’t know. But more importantly, you really don’t know if the pot is on or not.

There seems to be three modes, actively heating, on, but not heating and off. I find myself pushing the brew button and then realizing it’s not turned on. Very annoying! Next is the 10 minute brew cycle.

The pot starts by covering your coffee grounds with a bit of hot water to bloom the coffee. Then you wait, and wait, and wait. Finally the pot decides it’s time to send the rest of the water to the beans.

If you, like me, want to grab a quick cup then this isn’t the unit for you. Finally, there’s the removable water reservoir – I have no idea why they made this removable – it’s just one more thing to leak.

I never grab the reservoir and carry it over to the sink, instead I grab the pot, fill it with the amount of water I want (after all, it has the cup markings on it) and then fill the reservoir. Of course the lid to the reservoir isn’t on a hinge, so that’s just another inconvenience.

As you can see, I’m not a fan of this coffee maker. I just want some switches and knobs like my older units. On the plus side, the timer works, the machine works and the coffee that it makes tastes good.

But, seriously, there are $25 models that do it just as well.

Honestly, straight out of the box, I was impressed with the Ninja coffeemaker. As someone who hates things sitting out on my counters, I don’t mind this one at all. It is a classy looking machine. Love the removable water tank, so I don’t have to try to pour the water in the back of the machine like every other coffeepot I’ve had.

I also love that it has the measuring spoon mounted right on the side of machine! Genius! I have never had the cone shaped filters before but I am much impressed! No more filter accidentally folding over while brewing and ending up with a pot full of grounds.

I love the programmable feature. I can wake up to the smell of my coffee already brewing and that definitely helps me get out of bed in the mornings! I love all the settings that this has-brew strength (classic vs rich), small batch (4 cups vs 12) and the stay warm button.

I haven’t had it long enough to use the clean cycle yet but I’m hoping it works just as great as every other option.

My Kitchenaid coffee maker broke right after all the great holiday small appliance deals ended. I was bummed to have to buy one at full price but I needed it immediately. Got this in the store and I have used it daily for a week.

It makes amazing coffee – so good that I got over paying full price for it. It’s light and doesn’t take much more counter space than the coffee pot. The current model didn’t have a reusable filter included, but it comes with a few paper cones so you won’t be left starting your first day with an empty coffee cup.

Having the sparkling clear removable water container is a must! If you have one that you can’t remove, try wiping the inside with a paper towel…. it’s gross and no amount of cleaning seems to fully get rid of that film.

It also includes a scoop to get the perfect coffee. I’m very picky and like mine strong. I used the exact number of coffee scoops to water, set it on rich and it was perfect. Definitely required less coffee grounds than my last one to get a cup of good strong coffee.

First of all, I highly recommend reading all of the instructions and troubleshooting in the manual before you leave a review. It not only helps yourself, but helps other people as well. Some of these bad reviews are things that could’ve easily been fixed.

This is absolutely perfect for me, personally. It has a timer, so that I can have coffee ready for me in the morning. It keeps the coffee very warm, and you can set the plate warmer to go for either two hours or four hours.

The frother is amazing, not just for a coffee but also for protein/health drinks, and cocktails lol. And of course the hot water feature is really cool, although I do think it’s weird that you have to pay extra for that.

I drink a lot of tea when I’m not drinking coffee, so that definitely helps. If you know anything about design you will really appreciate this machine. They obviously put a lot of thought and detail into it.

Even just the water container- you can move it from the side or the back, and it has the perfect spot for your fingers to lift it in an out. Little things like that really make a big difference and make mornings go by much quicker.

I haven’t tried the pod option, I don’t really do those. I do wish there was a place to mount that piece when you’re not using it, that’s the only complaint. I mostly just love how versatile it is.

I can either make a big pot or just one cup, and it’s super fast and easy, and the design goes really well with my kitchen! .

We are a family of coffee drinkers – one likes dark roast and uses KCups, one like light roast and prefers to use a refillable cup (not available- I had to buy reusable filters instead) & one likes iced coffee.

So we decided, after too many of a certain other brand (K) to try the Ninja. We have had a ninja blender for nearly 10 years and it’s awesome. This machine makes a great, clean tasting cup! I only have a few cons: 1) no auto turn out to just allow it to be hot when you are ready.

It will make you a cup at a certain time but I’d prefer it just be ready for me to make myself a cup. However, it does start up quickly so this isn’t a big deal really. 2) no refillable pod is available so I had to order a reusable filter instead 3) I would like to use the carafe for just two cups (maybe 18-20oz) but you have to do some magic to make the warming plate come on if you do less than 28oz.

It must think if you want less than 28oz, you will not be using the plate? This doesn’t make sense to me. I did finally figure out how to turn it on but even now I can’t tell you the steps this took.

I just want to press a button please. Overall, it’s a nice machine, it’s quiet, makes a piping hot cup in minutes from turning it on. A few little tweaks would make this the perfect machine!.

I bought this based off an article I read about best coffee makers with multiple factors brought into consideration. There are pros and cons to this pot. For one, I like that it is slim and doesn’t take up a lot of space-my coffee bar looks less crowded now.

Another thing I like is how hot the coffee gets, my keurig never got this hot-I always had to reheat in the microwave before adding creamer. The main thing I do not like about this maker is that you have to put in the exact amount of water you want to come out as coffee which means I have to fill my cup to wear it wanting my coffee to go and then pour it into the basin usually causing a water spill because I’m trying to pour water out of a big mug into a little basin.

(All my cups are different sizes and I can’t put in the effort to memorize the size of them all. ) The other thing I dislike about this coffee maker is how long it takes. You put your pod in and then there’s a 3 minute delay before the coffee starts coming out…make sure to plan ahead if you’re on a hurry! one thing I haven’t had to do yet is clean it but based Off the instructions it seems to be a simple process.

I like this machine but you have to be a little mechanically inclined if you want to use the k-cup feature: you have to clean the needle every so often – every >25 k-cups or so, I can’t be sure and less if you do a rinse-cycle in between.

There is back flush into the needle and it will clog up, that is why cleaning instructions printed on the inside of the water lid. That is a little cumbersome – I don’t mind it, but still, deducting half a star for it.

Other than that I like it a lot and it is build well. On that note: I would bet that many/most people who say it “broke” or “k-cups never worked” really experienced the needle clogging and didn’t understand they have to clean it every now and then.

I initially thought so as well. But it turns out it didn’t break, it just got clogged up!.

Had a standard k-cup machine. In order to use loose coffee required a special device. This machine quickly utilizes cups or loose grounds with provided adaptors. Also, the previous machine had a large reservoir which is unnecessary now as this device only heats one cup then shuts off.

Smaller profile takes less space on my counter. No standing water residue to clean off as I did with former resrvoir in previous unit. BUY IT!.

We love our Cuisinart 12 Cup Coffee Maker. More importantly, the brewed coffee is delicious! Place your cup on the tray, and a watch your cup fill up under the lighted lever. It is easy to take apart to make the coffee, and the water reservoir is sturdy and clear.

The coffee is much hotter than our previous Hamilton Beach. Don’t forget to set it for 4 hours! I ordered additional charcoal water filters, to change the recommended every 30 days. However, Cuisinart, the weirdest thing is the very short power cord.

But no matter, I ordered a short 2 ft black extension that gives me the length to pull the coffee maker from under the counter to make the coffee. Another weird thing was the basket for the coffee has a handle that actually interferes as you dump the grounds into the trash.

I removed the handle and it’s still easy to remove and empty. Even for these flaws, it produces the best tasting coffee. You will not regret your purchase.

I am disappointed with my purchase. I thought I could fill the water reservoir and then program the machine for how many cups of coffee I wanted to brew. That way I would t have to fill the reservoir every day before making coffee.

This is not the case as all the water gets used as I found out the first time I went to make my 4 cups of coffee. Another disappointing feature is all the crevices and angles of the coffee holding area.

Makes it very difficult to clean. Also when you lift the lid to pull the coffee grounds and coffee reservoir out to clean, water left from the top of the lid runs down into the heated area where the coffee reservoir goes.

So you have to make sure you wipe out that area before replacing everything. I wish I would have purchased another brand.

I love the design because no pods are required. Eliminating all the plastic choking our oceans is very important to me. I gave 4 rather than 5 stars because the basket always over flows, leaving grounds scattered outside the basket.

Grounds also accumulate on the inside of the top where the water dispenses over the grounds. This happens even when only 4 cups are brewed. I havent brewed 12 yet but assume a bigger mess of grounds would be the result.

I think the basket is too small to hold all the water and grounds as it is brewing + a larger one would elimate this problem. Other than that this issue, love dispensing one cup at a time during the day.

Brews quickly + stays warm for the 6 hours I have set it to be on.

We purchased to this to replace an old cuisinart coffee maker that had stopped working. It has many of the same great features on this coffee maker, plus the hot water on demand is a terrific addition.

However, the “Brew Pause” feature does not work well on this model and the coffee continues to drip significantly. There also seems to be a flaw with the black plastic carafe lid and you need to be very careful not to pour too fast or piping hot coffee may spill out the sides.

We also preferred the stainless steel option from our last coffee maker which isnt available on this new model.

As much as I love Cuisinart products, thought I would enjoy the newer design of this model. Purchased as a replacement, it operates as a Cuisinart product does, reliable just not as functional as older model.

Matter of personal preference.

I purchased to replace the cusinart model chw-12 due to constant water leak after only 1 yr of use. This Model appears better constructed. I hope it will last longer than one year because I love the on-demand hot water function.

The coffee pot is very straightforward. Push the “On” button once to brew a pot of coffee. There is a second button for iced coffee (haven’t used) and instructions for pressing both buttons for another hot brewing method.

I didn’t notice a difference in taste for either hot brew (both bold and delicious) I wanted this percolator because it heats the water to near boiling before brewing. The only component that I still have to get used to, is the coffee grounds being housed inside the coffee pot.

The handle is also a bit cumbersome, ie my thumb doesn’t naturally cover the tab on the lid to raise it up, so it feels bulky. It is a very large pot considering the amount of water that can be filled into it- 8 cups max/6 for iced coffee.

But this does make sense because of it’s design, it just is different than.

Added this to our wedding registry and received it. Didn’t get a chance to use because I was pregnant and then breastfeeding. Was so excited to use it for my first cup of coffee today and it doesn’t even work! Called customer service and was told it doesn’t work above 2000 feet in elevation, and since it’s been over a year since it was purchased all they can do is offer me a discount code on a full price item.

What a joke! It’s brand new and it’s not a warranty issue. I asked why they would even sell a model that doesn’t work in high elevation somewhere like Denver, CO, and she said not all of CO is over 2000 feet… uhhhh yea lady, it is! And nowhere on the packaging or manual does it state that this is an issue.

She emailed her leadership team and said they’d get back to me, so we’ll see.

My wife is the coffee drinker and is pretty much in love with this brewer. She previously was using a single cup “pod” type brewer. This one is definitely more work, but the coffee is so much better that she thinks it’s worth it.

She was a bit daunted by the brewer and the set-up process, but it turned out to be less complicated and easier than what it seemed just looking at the instructions. The drip coffee function is what she uses the most and she says this brewer has restored the joy she takes in making a cup of coffee.

The smell is amazing and the coffee tastes delicious. The downside to the Over Ice function is that you have to make a big pot (8 cups), which her and my oldest daughter don’t drink all of. But they love being able to make iced coffee.

Overall, it takes up more room and more time, but my wife feels like she has re-discovered the joy in a delicious cup of coffee.

This coffee maker works well. I previously owned another brand that was similar to this one but developed a leak. I decided to upgrade to Cuisinart with better features. The other machine developed a “sometime” leak.

That is it would sometimes leak but not every time it was used. When it did the counter would be covered in water. I have other Cuisinart products that are excellent quality. This product has a lot of nice features I like.

It may not seem like an important feature but the light over the pouring area is very nice. If you have cups with dark insides you will know the importance. It has easy to read and use features that are not complicated.

i.

I love coffee. Like I drink coffee all day every day 365 days a week. I drink at least a short pot every day sometimes more. I joke that a single cup coffee maker would cry for their mommy within a week of living with me.

I love coffee. I have had some version of this coffee pot for almost 20 years. I started with a white one but got this black/stainless one as a wedding gift when we were trying to match our counter top appliances.

I had that one for more than a decade before it finally decided to die and now I have the newest version. This coffee pot is my baby – seriously some days I may love it more than my husband and kids.

I adore this beast. If you are a serious coffee drinker let me recommend this one whole heartedly and here is why. This pot has two features that make it killer to me: First you can pour a cup of coffee while the pot is brewing without disrupting the brewing process.

The way the coffee brews is into an internal carafe and you dispense coffee below using something like a soda machine at a fast food place. You put your cup on the trigger button and coffee comes out.

When I was in law school and again when I had newborns I would start this pot and just sit with the cup under there letting the coffee brew straight in. The pot does have a timer feature but I never remember to set it so I have a full pot in the morning.

The second feature really appeals as an all day coffee drinker. When you drink all day it matters how long the coffee stays hot because once it gets cold and you have to start warming it up it can get icky.

The internal carafe feature keeps the coffee warm longer than the traditional glass one underneath. The only downside to this is if coffee grounds get caught in the filter the dispensing mechanism it can clog and cause a leak.

Initially I thought the pot was broken and was mad but then realized I just needed to find the right spot to clean and we were all good. There is a tiny filter inside and that is where the problem is just need to scrub it out periodically and all is fine.

This is my all-time FAVORITE coffee maker! I had the older style (which I like ever better because you can fill the reservoir directly instead of pouring into the reservoir to fill) but got rid of it when I moved out of the country.

I was delighted to see my landlord had the exact one for me to use in the house I was renting. Wjen I got back to the US, I needed to buy a coffee maker again. Of course I wanted the Nrew Station again.

it was really hard to find though! I could only find it on Amazon amd Macy’s online. Why os this not at Target/Kohls etc?! I slightly disappointed in the redesign. I know there’s a sleeker look but it’s not nearly as convenient.

The upper portion is meant to be used to fill the reservoir but it has essentially a flat face with a tiny spout. That means you have to pour it super slow to avoid spills. Who’s got time for that?! I use a separate container to fill it.

It’s slightly inconvenient. If they redesign again, I hope they bring back the removable reservoir.

I’ve actually been using this model for a couple years now, and realized I hadn’t written a review. Definitely love the convenience of direct pour–no carafe to wash or break. Love the 4 hour warm time and the ability to set a start time.

Although I seldom use it, it is most appreciated when needed. Although it has been a workhorse for us, I’m reserving one star because it does have some minor flaws. Our machine gets a major workout, probably brewing up to 3 pots a day, and has been dependably working all this time.

The only design issue has been having to lift the bucket to fill the reservoir. I would prefer to have a detachable unit for that. It has some quirks and I’ll list them so others can use the workarounds we have found.

The lid doesn’t seat completely. Doesn’t seem to have any effect in regards to making the coffee, so minor and we haven’t tried to fix it. The heating plate is not quite in contact with the plate embedded in the reservoir.

Workaround is to put a few layers of tin foil over the plate so that contact is made with the reservoir plate. Otherwise, the coffee maker keeps making heating sounds even after the brew is finished.

Once we figured this out, all has been fine. The little round dome filter in the reservoir gets encrusted with coffee gunk, but is not removable to clean. We got around that by breaking off the back one of the 3 clamps that hold it in place.

You can slide the little filter in and out of the remaining clamps to clean, and they still hold it firmly in place. Tip: make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and let set overnight. The stuff will all come off with a toothbrush in the morning.

Depending on how you feel about plastic, your coffee is sitting in plastic until you dispense it, so that could be an issue. We ran a couple of water/vinegar cycles through when we first got it, and we have not noticed any plastic taste.

We like it, so far, however it has a few flaws I would like to see corrected. First, when we purchased it one of the parts that holds the filter in place was already broken. We could have returned it for another one, but with Covid and a long ride to the store, we decided to keep it.

The area where you put water in to make a pot vs. k-cup is too small and I have to insert a funnel in order to not spill water all over my counter every time. I think it is a poor design for filling.

Yet, we enjoy it just the same. I like the versatility of it so we can make a full pot of coffee on some mornings and I enjoy setting the timer and having it ready when I get up. I also like to make decaf later in the day as well as tea.

I think it makes good coffee, which certainly is an important feature to us. The thing that punctures the k-cups has not seemed sharp enough at times and we have had a few k-cups explode and make a huge mess, as well.

That clean up was annoying and we wasted a few cups of coffee because of that. So, an improvement on how it pieces the tops of K-cups is warranted. Though, again, we really like this device. We tossed out our Keurig when we got this at our Keurig leaked and never gave us a full cup of coffee.

I really like that brew sizes of the single brew area as well and they are true to what one would expect. I’m glad this unit doesn’t leak all the time like the Keurig we had did.

This coffeemaker is perfect for two people. My husband and I brew a round, and as we drink that we have another round going. It’s got what you need, and that’s it. I really like the reusable filter it comes with and that it doesn’t take forever to brew.

It takes long enough, though, so the coffee is nearly as flavorful as pour over. Sometimes when brewing a full amount, the coffee all does not get moistened, so if you let it go halfway and then turn the filter bucket a bit inside, all the grounds get brewed perfectly.

The only downsides to this coffeemaker are that the hot plate seems to be a bit too hot and will burn the coffee(not burn up literally but will have a burnt overcooked flavor if you try drinking it) if left on too long.

Also, the way the pot pours makes it so that you must do it very slowly or it will drip out of the sides of the spout. This is fine for a calming zen experience making coffee, but if you are in a hurry it can get annoying.

Overall this is a great option for a simple way to make flavorful coffee.

I am so displeased with this poor excuse for a coffee maker. On my first time using this waste of my coins, luckily I stood there watching it go. Then I noticed that the carafe wasn’t filling up with coffee.

So, cautiously I lifted the lid and to my surprise I noticed the filter was not allowing the hot coffee to flow freely out of the small whole at the bottom of it. So, the hot water collected like a reservoir in the filter and was about to spill over on the table.

THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! I am relieved that I did not decide to turn my back on it while it was dripping. After fiddling around with the carafe, I discovered that the top of the carafe was not aligning with the little whole under the filter and the water would get caught in the filter with no place to go.

I will request a refund. I will never purchase another appliance from this company again.

Word of caution, never order a coffee maker when your old coffee maker isn’t working and you are coffee deprived. It’s a nice little coffee maker. I like the carafe and the way it snuggles into the corner on my counter.

My bad. It never occurred to me that a coffee maker wouldn’t have a warming plate. Since I often make coffee for one, I was distracted by the vessel height adjuster. While I find the pause feature somewhat annoying, it’s more annoying to not have it.

If you don’t need a warming plate or a pause feature it’s nice machine, very basic.

We got this to replace our Keurig and couldn’t be happier! I had read how some cities around the world had been banning K-cups due to their recycle-resistant nature, so I was really eager to get something that was a little better for the environment! I don’t drink coffee, but my husband does, and one of other things I didn’t like about the Keurig was if I wanted hot water it would sometimes taste like coffee, so this coffee maker and hot water system is so much better for us! It takes a few minutes for the hot water side to heat up fully, but it’s so much preferable to me than the Keurig! My husband really likes the coffee maker and that he’s able to set it on a timer so it’s ready for when he wants it in the morning My one minor complaint is sometimes when sliding this to open the lid to refill the hot water part, the water will leak out of the bottom.

It’s a little annoying, but certainly not annoying enough to get rid of it.

My favorite coffee pot was a Cuisinart and once that one went (after many years) I purchased this one. There was problem after problem with this machine until we finally replaced it a year later. The hot water system is only good if you’re having tea, the hot water alone tastes like coffee which makes no sense.

The carafe leaks every time I poured water or coffee. The mesh basket broke on it and I had to replace it. Finally, what made us give in was that the system kept turning off mid brew. We would have to keep checking on it to see if it was still going.

The coffee tasted good, though, and our previous experience with Cuisinart was a good one. However, we decided to switch brands after this. It was a huge waste of money.

After much deliberation, we settled on this model to replace our older model grind and brew that finally kicked the bucket. While it makes good coffee, and the hot water on demand is certainly a nice feature, I do have a few issues with the machine.

1) The ‘low’ hot plate setting still burns the coffee – I was expecting the low setting to be more mellow. can’t imagine how hot the medium and hot settings are and will never use them; 2) The coffee is absolutely piping hot after brewing – generally a good thing but other buyers may want to be aware; 3) It’s difficult to fill with water due to small openings in the top of the water tank; 4) The beep to alert you that the brew cycle is complete is obnoxiously loud and sounds like a speaker with a blown tweeter – wish we could turn that off; 5) Be sure to open the filter compartment to allow the massive amount of condensation to dry after each brew.

6) The machine materials just feel cheap and I’m not confident this will last me 7+ years like our old machine. I tried everything to resuscitate our grind and brew to no avail. We loved that machine but Cuisinart does not build those like they used to when it comes to quality.

This model will work for now but if I could do it all over, I probably would not buy this machine.

Every pot of coffee I brew ends up with coffee grinds in it as well as sludge on the bottom. Water continually leaks and falls onto the heating plate. Nearly every time you remove the pot liquid falls on the plate.

That will cause the black film to burn away. For a basic coffee maker you would think that it would not have those two problems. I have no idea why this coffee maker has such a high rating. This product should be taken off of the market.

This is the worse coffee maker I have ever owned.

I purchased this at the end of 2019 so i started using it in the beginning of 2020. We live very busy lifestyles and are always on the go so from 2020 until now (June 2021), we have maybe used it 50-60 times? And It just stopped working.

I turn it on and it doesn’t get hot anymore and will turn off automatically after maybe 15 minutes. We’ve Tried figuring out the issue and have reset our wall outlets and everything, and still nothing.

I have my own little coffee/ tea nook set up and i keep everything clean and take care of my belongings so i can only conclude that it was the product. I know it was super expensive but you would think that a basic coffee pot would last more than a year and a half.

Super bummed because I’m the type of person who will drink a whole pot when i have a free morning so i don’t care for Keurigs. As i stated in my headline though, it worked fine when it actually worked.

My mom and dad are hard-core bunn coffee maker users. They’ve probably used bunn coffee makers for over 30 years and as soon as theirs is going bad they buy a brand new one. We also have a keurig and with that and the bunn it’s just taking up a lot of counter space.

I saw this and thought it would be perfect to help get rid of both and have a machine that’s all-in-one. It’s still going to take some convincing to get my parents to let us get rid of the bunn but right now I am really impressed with this machine! It is a little overwhelming when you first take it out and see al the different parts and pieces that you can adjust, but once you read the quick start guide it’s simple to get the hang of.

I love that it doesn’t take up a whole bunch of space everything is pretty compact. It has like 10 different size options to make from a cup to a whole 12 cup carafe and you can make in between sizes like 1/2 a cup or 3/4 of a carafe and all the in betweens.

It has 3 different brewing options – Classic – rich – and over ice. We’ve used the classic and the over ice so far. I don’t understand how the over ice works but it’s like magic. You fill your cup with ice and when the coffee is done brewing over it – it’s cold.

The ice doesn’t melt much and the coffee is ice cold! It’s magic and it’s great. I’m stepping up my at home ice coffee game in the most simple way. Two fun things it has is a spot for the cup measured on the side so you don’t lose it, and a piece that folds down under the brewer so you can set a cup or tumbler on it.

It’s really easy to change the machine from ground to kcup with the adapter. The default is to use kcups and you just lift up on the adapter. If you want to use grounds you just pull the adapter and take it out and then there is the piece for the grounds underneath.

You slide the metal cover to go over the grounds and you’re all set. The buttons are easy to use, you click the brew type, turn the dial to the size and click the button and you’re good to go. The water carafe on the side has measurements so you know how much to add.

I’m just really impressed with the simplicity and the slight things that I wouldn’t have though of like the piece to slide to close or open the drip hole. I’ve always loved ninja but this coffee pot is a home run for me.

I’m hoping with a little bit of encouragement we will be able to get rid of our plain coffee pot and adjust to just using this.

I have ran through so many coffee machines in the last few years that I would consider myself somewhat as an expert these days. I have had 3 k-cup machines from the popular brand, and also a top of the line nespresso machine.

I noticed this machine last year since a family member purchased it, but it didn’t interest me until now. I found myself going back to coffee shops because no matter what I could not get my k cups to taste like decent coffee, and vertuoline pods were expensive and tasteless.

I used the quick start guide right off the bat and proceeded to brew my blueberry coffee. For the first time after using, I could actually taste the flavor at its best! The machine itself is aesthetically pleasing, and it does the job of brewing, frothing, and creating specialty espresso drinks with such ease and perfection.

There are so many settings and accessories that are included in the compact design that you can make whatever coffee you want. I am actually upset I spent so much money on buying other little machines, frothers, capsules, etc when all along this machine includes everything you need.

The price is not cheap but it honestly does the job of about 4 separate machines that costs double what this does. I feel like this machine is what I have been missing and has really increased the quality of my home brewing system.

Everything is so easy to use and clean. I couldn’t be happier to throw out my old coffee machines that were big and bulky and replacing it with this machine as my everyday. Love love love it and I would recommend this 100 percent.

The Ninja Specialty Coffee is the best of the best! It has so much to offer that I never thought I would utilize, but over time it has made me try to make all sorts of coffee and tea beverages. What makes this so great is that you can brew a whole carafe (or half if you prefer) or make a single cup.

The coffee is brewed to around 200⁰, but it will also brew Cold Brew coffee around 98⁰! The milk frother takes the cold brew experience to a whole other level and it’s very easy to remove and clean. Each tea setting is brewed to a specific temperature for each type which is amazing.

Now that I have learned everything I can about this machine, I’m looking forward to brewing my own fancy matcha. Definitely read the manual and watch some recipe videos. You’ll never go back to a keriug or your other drip brew machine.

Ninja has perfected the best coffee and tea experience.

I bought mine years ago when it was still $99 and have been using it daily ever since. I thought it would be cool to have the one serving option, but I’ve rarely used it. My only complaints (and why I gave it 4 stars): 1.

I accidentally broke the carafe and the replacement was out of stock online at the Hamilton Beach website with no back in stock date. I finally found a replacement carafe from another brand (Cuisinart) that fit.

I checked and it appears that carafes are easier to find now than they were when I was looking for one. 2. The lid on the basket area warps and does not sit flat. Sometimes if I catch it while it’s still warm from brewing, I can pop it back into shape, but it doesn’t stay that way.

As soon as the steam hits it, the lid pops back up again. Maybe a little thicker plastic or a steam vent would keep it from getting warped. Over all, it’s been a good coffee maker and I’d buy the same model again, especially with the significant price reduction.

they have the right idea but it needs some work. I got this coffee maker because some days my husband and I will drink a whole pot of coffee and other days only one of us will have a cup so it met both needs.

It looks nice on the counter since it isn’t too bulky. what I don’t like about it is that the single serve side does not get hot. if you like your coffee hot then this is not for you. I don’t mind it since I tend to drink my coffee pretty fast but if you are slow then your coffee might get pretty cold by the time you finish.

another thing is it is kinda on the slow side with the single serve. I was noticing that it would stop dripping, sputter a bit, drip again then stop, sputter and drip. hopefully they can work all these things out and make a better coffee maker.

For now this will have to do. I’m not too mad about it tho because I did purchase this on sale for $40 which was the cheapest one I could find. I’d recommend buying for the price.

This is a great coffee maker and definitely gets the job done! It’s easy to clean, easy to use and set up. We’re loving the single cup function for that one afternoon jolt cup of coffee without brewing a whole pot.

Only thing of note is the “program” light is SO BRIGHT. We turn on the program button to auto-brew first thing in the morning and the little green light pretty much lights up our entire kitchen. But functionally, it’s a great machine, especially for the price.
