Ninja Pod Grounds Coffee Maker XL Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Compatible Brews Grounds Compact Design Built-In Milk Frother 68-oz

So much better than the other single k-cup pod coffee makers I have used. Controls are clear and well thought out, with simple dedicated buttons to switch style and size, and to initiate brewing or a cleaning cycle. Displays, including a prgress bar, are suer intuitive. The rich setting makes better, stronger coffee from pods than I have had with other single serve machines. Ability to use ground coffee - using a basket which stores cleverly in the device - is fantastic. I use with small filter paper cups designed for this device to ease cleanup and also to capture some of the oils in coffee that I have heard can have negative health effects. I easily switch between pods and ground coffee all the time. After months of use, I am still super pleased with this machine. Read more

I did a lot of research on different coffee makers before deciding on this one. I am so glad I purchased this product! It’s well-made and I love how slender it is and doesn’t take that much room on my coffee bar. It’s very sturdy and stable. The temperature of the hot water is perfect. You can make different types of coffee and the built-in frother on the side is a huge plus. It works great and is easy to remove for cleaning. It’s a great quality coffee maker and I use it several times a day to make different types of coffee. Read more

Firstly, the brewed coffee that the Ninja pods & grounds makes is phenomenal for a single serve coffee maker! A kcup is only as good as a the brand of kcup, no machine will rectify that. I have had a classic Keurig for years. It works fine. Once in awhile it gets clogged and I have to take the top casing off to prime the water tube and then its back in action. I started to look for a new slimmer keurig with good water capacity which landed me on this Ninja. I have other Ninja products and they preform well enough. I sifted through a lot of reviews. The one that stands out is the guy (I assume) who points out all of the things to do right to be successful using this machine. They pointed out to follow the directions of priming the machine first and to press the kcup down to snap it in before closing the lid to brew (which helps so that your kcups aren't exploding). Also, double check your cups to make sure they aren't damaged before using (this is solid advice for any kcup machine). I will say that when I first added water to the tank and sat it down there was some initial leaking. So, I was afraid I had gotten a leaker. But, I continued with priming it and then made my first kcup. There has been no leaking since, so it must have been that first set up needed to seal the gaskets. It was easy enough once you figured out what went where. The selection process is easy enough too. I like a rich flavored coffee. The kcup was meh. But that's to be expected as I've got a generic brand. No machine will fix the taste of a cheap kcup. Darn. Oh well, the 2nd cup I brewed was with ground beans. I used a medium grind and 3 scoops to 10oz on the rich setting. It was so good! I could probably choose 12oz and still have a great brewed rich coffee. I took a few photos of the brewer to show the Glacier Blue. I think the color is very sleek. The water tank is crystal clear and the tank is small, but holds a lot of water (more than my classic keurig). I will add that the coffee brewing basket is nice but not super easy or quick to clean, so I'm going to get some of the paper filters suggested by other reviewers. Its worth noting that the coffee can drip for a bit after its done brewing, so if you're in a hurry, you'll have more dripping after a brew which will be collected in the drip tray. I just leave my mug there for every drop. The drip tray is adjustable for different height sizes of cups and mugs. This is helpful to keep coffee splatter to a minimal. Also, the unit features a built in auto shut-off - no extra button to push for it to work! Since the Ninja pods & grounds is new to me and I haven't used it much, I will update the review if anything changes. Read more

This product just came today and I started using it right away. It is very space friendly and talk about ease of use! Everyone will be able to use this product as it is a breeze! As for the performance and taste of the coffee that comes from this machine, great tasting coffee. The milk frother is excellent! The K-pods work great in this machine. It takes seconds to heat the water and about a minute to brew you an 8 oz cup of coffee. I have a Ninja foodie, a Ninja Blender and now this coffee machine. The coffee machine is already the family favorite! Get this! Read more
