Ninja Pods & Grounds Single-Serve Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pod Compatible, Brews Grounds, Compact Design, 56-oz. Reservoir, 6-oz. Cup to 24-oz. Travel Mug Brew Sizes, Iced Coffee Maker, Stone, PB041ST

I'm loving my new Ninja. I've had SO many different types of coffee makers. My favorite is a stovetop percolator. This is perfect especially since you can use pods or the basket filter. I don't like the mess with the reusable baskets but oh well. I now use a small filter & it works great inside the basket filter to cut down on the messy grounds. The size is perfect & thin & love the water container in back. I use filtered water. Mine seemed noisy at first, but not a big deal I guess. I didn't hear the maker on any of the videos that I watched prior to my purchase. I already have a frother, so I didn't really need that. I have Our Place & Beautiful appliances so the cream color matched those pieces good enough. I did have some tiny droplets dripping from the condensation on the side, but that has stopped. I don't see it being any hotter than any other coffeemaker. My last was a 4 cup stainless carafe Cuisinart, which I loved, except for the burner black covering wore off after 2 years. I think the heat is fine & I haven't used the auto shut off yet bc I unplug all of my appliances after use & just plug them in when I use them. So far, I'm loving the basket more than pods. I like strong french roast coffee, so I use the basket w/ Gevalia French Roast in the morning- using less than a regular machine, which is great & I love the rich button. I have found that SBX Italian roast pods are fantastic. If you use a big mug just up the oz. I use a decaf pod in the evening, or just use empty pod basket for hot water. for tea or cocoa. I'm very pleased with the construction of this model w/ the cord caddy, storage drawer, spoon holder & water storage. It's fabulous! Very pleased. *UPDATE: I purchased tiny filters for this & they work great but they're a bit expensive. I have filters from my previous machine & have found that using a "regular small basket type filter" is able to fold over one side of the permanent filter just a tiny bit after fitting it into the basket. This works much better than the expensive super small filters & less messy because those tiny ones still allow some seepage of grounds into the gold basket. (That's just me, but I don't like the mess w/ only using a permanent filter). I wash the permanent filter by hand w/ a brush (& a toothbrush if needed) to make sure it's spotless after each use. The brush works quick, great & removes oils & grounds from top piece. I really, really love this coffeemaker. It's one of my favorite purchases. I use it 3-4 × day. It works perfectly.

This is such a perfectly designed coffee maker. I have been using it for the past two months. I simply can not find anything that I could say needs improvement! What I love the most about this wonderful machine is that you just fill the water tank and all you have to do is press the right cup size (6-24 oz) it automatically pumps the right amount of water. The rich setting produces a fantastic cup of coffee. Over the ice pumps just half amount of water and produces lattes that rival Starbucks. Perhaps the most ingenious feature is the ability to brew both pods and your favorite ground coffee. The basket can accommodate enough coffee for up to 24oz.Basically it’s also a 3 cup coffee maker. If you are in an office and don’t like to drink stale coffee from a carafe, this coffee maker is the one for you. Great functionality. Auto shut off. High quality materials.

Best coffee maker I've ever used. Thoughtful, user friendly, design. I've been using it for a few weeks now and have tried with ground coffee and K cups. Perfect coffee every time. It remembers my settings when I switch between types of coffee. Looks great on my counter and has a small footprint. Glad I skipped the frothing attachment.

***Update 4/20/2025- Machine still going and working properly. I use it 2-3 days a week (when coffee shop is closed)THIS IS NOT AN EXPRESSO MACHINE.What I've discovered:Coffee isn't as hot as I like it- Make sure to let the machine sit for a few mins before brewing or run a 6oz of water thru. if I don't want to wait, I just heat up my cream in the microwave. I brew ground coffee on rich setting at 14oz, and it is quick and does brew a nice cup (if using good coffee) the coffee itself makes a difference.It is easy to clean BUT you need to clean it every time IF you're using pods that contain milk. If you're just running regular coffee/pods, then I clean once a week.Water tank size- I'm the only one in the house that uses it, so it's fine. If you have more than 2 ppl using, then it might be too small, and you may need to refill often. I use tap water (well water with softener) and have not had an issue.Froth vs no froth- The universe was looking out for me. If I had the model with the froth wand I don't think I would use it.Do I recommend?-looking for a budget friendly single serve coffee maker then YES. I don't regret my purchase.-Looking for an expresso machine instead of going to coffee shop. NO keep shopping this is not for you.I deducted 1 star just because it's not as hot as I would like and you can't adjust the temp. but overall, it's a really good machine and I really love the storage it has!***THE END**I picked the stone-colored coffee maker, and it DOES NOT have a froth function like the other colors!I'm okay with it because it was not a selling point for me. They sent me the PB041 I thought I ordered the PB051. SO again, just pay attention before you check out!On the other hand, this thing is beautiful! Has storage for all of its components! I will update my review once I use it... I literally just unboxed it!::Same day update!:: I'm absolutely in love with this coffee maker! There is trial and error to get your preferred ratio of flavor but that is true for any new coffee maker. 5 stars!
