Best coffee pot I’ve ever had
I’ve had this coffee pot for over a year and it has become my favorite (and I’ve had a few). It makes consistent excellent coffee, is easy to use and is very versatile. It brews tea and coffee and has multiple size options (I love brewing only half a pot when I’m the only one home). It is super easy to clean and the timer is simple to program. The insulated carafe keeps my coffee warm for a long time – way better than having a heater to keep the coffee warm which results in bitter brew. I’d give it six stars if I could. Finally a thoughtfully designed coffee maker well worth the investment.

I love this thing!
Coffee and Tea Back to Back:So… a lot of times when you hear about coffee makers that also make tea, all I think about is the awful taste of having coffee grounds in your tea >_<. Tea is often an afterthought for a lot of manufacturers. That's not the case with this machine.They really thought this design through and I am able to use it for both coffee and tea back to back without any extensive cleaning. The trick? The entire brewing basket comes off and they have two separate brewing baskets, one for coffee and one for tea. At no point will the water will touch any component that has touched any coffee grounds when you have the tea basket in, and vice versa. I've seriously made a cup of tea immediately after my husband brewed a cup of coffee without having to clean or even rinse anything. I just swapped the baskets.Tea Basket:So, one thing I will say is that the tea basket is a pain in the ass to clean when brewing loose leaf tea. There's a filter that clips into the bottom to prevent tea leaves getting into your cup, but it doesn't do that great of a job at keeping the leaves out. Granted, I've been brewing maté that's been cut very fine so that is definitely a factor. I'm sure if you were brewing green tea or earl grey, it'd be fine.The other problem is that the brew basket does fill most of the way up, and the tea will tend to float up with it, then stick to the sides when it drains. This is what makes it hard to clean. They don't really concentrate on the bottom (again, this also may be more pronounced with the maté) so you really have to clean the whole thing, and dumping the tea can be difficult.However, I did come up with a great solution that fixes all of this. I just remove the filter at the bottom and use my old tea infuser in the basket. This solves all of these problems completely. No mess and no leaves in my cup. I just dump the tea from the infuser straight in the trash when done and then rinse the infuser and basket. Way, way easier to clean and it's how I recommend brewing cups of tea in this machine. If you're brewing a half carafe or a full carafe, then the cleaning hassle would be worth it for that large quantity.Coffee:We bought this machine after a lot of research when our Keurig broke. We were done having to buy pods. I We definitely didn't feel good about the amount of plastic we kept having to throw away (we don't have recycling where I live) and it's also much more expensive. However, I don't think, with the cost of this brewer, we're going to make up the cost of pods anytime soon.It brews a great cup of coffee, though. We found that the reuseable filter it came with doesn't do a good job, so we switched to unbleached paper filters instead and we have been able to reproduce the consistency and flavor that we liked from our K-cups with it. My husband drinks his coffee black, no sugar, and very much enjoys the flavor of the coffee now with the paper filters. For the record, we were a big fan of the Dunkin' Original, medium roast k-cups and are using the same brand and flavor ground coffee from a bag.The paper filters also make it easier to clean. Just throw the filter out and rinse the basket. It's only slightly more inconvenient than using a pod because we have to scoop out our own coffee, but even then, the included scoop makes that super convenient as well.Features:This machine has a ton of great features. I've used all but the cold brew feature with both tea and coffee and it works great. Want an iced tea? You can have it in minutes. Same with iced coffee. It's really simple to use and everything works as advertised. We bought the version with the thermal carafe because we're not big fans of how coffee tastes when it's been sitting on a burner for a while and the thermal carafe does a great job at keeping the coffee warm for a while.Overall:I highly recommend this brewer. I find it worth the $200 we paid for it and its been a huge upgrade to our mornings.

Es la primera vez que adquiero un producto de la marca Ninja y honestamente es la mejor cafetera que he comprado en mi vida. Me encanta porque cuenta con aditamentos de primera, materiales súper robustos y de excelente calidad y tanto las variedades de preparación para café o té, te hacen del momento una experiencia bastante agradable. Su monitor digital se ve de primera y es muy fácil de usar, a pesar que a primera vista impone . El espumador es de lo mejor y te permite jugar con sabores y diseños de barista. La jarra térmica es de la mejor calidad y efectivamente, puede estar extremadamente caliente el líquido en su interior y por fuera está fría, sensacional!!!!. Excelente compra, la recomiendo al 100, de lo mejor en cafeteras.

Unfortunately my first purchase of this coffee maker 2 days ago ended very poorly. The box arrived with multiple holes on every single side of the external Amazon box, as well as huge ones on the internal Ninja box, and because of this the internal water reservoir had a bullet-esque hole in it. However…Once I got a replacement (very quickly, 2 days later) I quickly found that the reviews and testimonials were absolutely correct.This coffee machine, and tea machine for that matter, does almost everything I could ever want. The 307 version comes with a “coffee warming plate” at the bottom of the coffee spout area, but I HIGHLY recommend getting the metal thermal carafe because you don’t need to spend the extra money on a different machine to keep your coffee warm and fresh for hours, compared to the thin glass carafe.The only issue – which isn’t really an issue – I’ve noticed is, that the permanent filter does not catch extra fine ground coffee very well, and you will have some in the bottom of your cup. This is easily solvable with Number 4. Cone paper coffee filters that will absolutely prevent this, or getting coarse/medium grind coffee grounds.Otherwise, this machine is a masterpiece in flavor, elegance, an accessibility. A must buy.(I wish I was getting paid to say that, but alas lol)
