This is a brilliant design, simple, and functional. I haven't, and won't use the iced coffee feature, would be fine without it. Really like the hanger for the measuring cup and the storage drawer for the K-cup holder or the grounds basket. I was able to locate paper filters for the basket on Amazon, (150PCS Disposable Coffee Paper Filter for Ninja PB051 PB041 Coffee Maker) and recommend them because cleaning the steel mesh is easy, but kind of a pain and a mess. With the paper filter I just lift the filter and drop it into the trash or use it for compost, and the steel filter is spotless. The instructions recommend NOT using one of the refillable K-cup devices you can put in, primarily because there is ONE stream on this unit, whereas the Keurig's newer system has multi-stream. Using a stainless steel or plastic insert would likely have grounds all over the place, and I'm not sure it would close properly. I haven't tried putting my stainless steel k-cup refillable in this one, there's no point, when there is the basket for brewing. Using a filter in the brew basket has not been a problem, and it is a fantastic option, MUCH EASIER than trying to put grounds into one of the K-cup refillables. You use more coffee, but it's worth it. JUST HAVING BOTH FEATURES in one slim, nice looking unit with SIMPLE CONTROLS earns this all 5 stars. Really like the bone color, very neutral and easy to clean. Kudos to the Ninja team, will be considering other products they make. This replaced a K-supreme Plus Keurig that I really liked. But, the first one failed within a few weeks, exchanged it and then bought the 2 year insurance plan. It started failing again just over a year... would lose its settings, only dispense a few ounces... very erratic, if I fiddled with it I could maybe get a cup out of it... I had to go back to my old Nespresso machine!!! At least until I got this NINJA PODS & GROUNDS unit. I read reviews, searched on line for the best K-cup options. Was still using up Nespresso capsules... But what tipped the scale to the Ninja Pad & Grounds K-cup was that is available on the prime day sale. I'd read mostly good reviews about this one, the price point was attractive even at regular price. Very happy for the sale and this unit! The only negative reviews read related to opening the top, yeah, it takes some effort. But you can figure out a way of releasing it using a bit of leverage. And if you should open it by accident when it's dispensing it sounds an alarm. What I've been doing is put my forefinger on the chrome piece on the front and use my thumb to lift the lid, can do it with one hand, or both. It stabilizes the unit and opens it up with tipping it over. I imagine I could lift that unit by that handle and it wouldn't open... I've made sure the chrome piece in front was not hot, it hasn't been, but check 1st. I just tried a different way... put both hands on the top of the unit and lifted the lid with my thumbs, pretty sure anyone even with smaller hands would be able to open that. Otherwise find a nice plastic kitchen utensil as a pry bar because this unit is WORTH that small amount of hassle! The other issue I read about was water leakage... noticed warnings to make sure you remove something when setting it up. No leakage on this one, but if one isn't careful putting the tank back in I can see where some water could end up were it's not wanted. Have used every day, many times a day, and no problems. I did purchase the insurance plan for it through Amazon as that was also the company that covered the failed Keurig and it was a reasonable price.

Flavored ground coffee blends gum up the innards of sophisticated, expensive grind/brew/pour espresso and coffee machines. I have a Nespresso machine for wonderful espresso and lungo pours and I have a De'Longhi that grinds and then gives me all kinds of pour choices. But this Fall I wanted pumpkin spice, and some Barnie's blends and an interesting Mexican chocolate flavored coffee that I found. So I went looking online for a machine--not too expensive, but not too cheap either--that would provide me with the means to make a consistently hot, very rich, cup of flavored coffee with cream, worthy of drinking. I found this machine and I already love it. And it sits nestled between my Nespresso and De'Longhi machines on my coffee bar. In fact--and maybe because it is a novelty for me to be able to have wonderful flavored coffees at my fingertips--I have been using it more often than my other two, more expensive machines. But beware, or be aware: The price you pay for more flavorful coffee, will not be the one-time cost of this machine. It will be the fact that you will go through a bag of ground coffee way quicker than you ever imagined. I accept that. Because this machine makes the best cup of flavored ground coffee that I've ever had. This machine covers all the bases: Using the included filter in the brew basket, and with an ample water reservoir (56oz) at its back, it brews whatever ground coffee your heart desires, whatever grind, however much grounds you add to the filter, and however much water you press the button for. It has three lighted buttons for choosing a milder (Classic) or stronger (Rich) or even iced coffee. It makes for almost overwhelming opportunities to get the exact coffee you are looking for. And, hey, if those choices do overwhelm you, you can use the pod adapter in the brew basket and insert any kind of K-cup (not paper though), and just choose the amount of water for a single-serve. (But I don't use K-cup very often, so my review will not be addressing that feature.) And, the machine senses whether you have the filter or pod adapter in the brew basket and proceeds accordingly. I also have not tried the iced coffee feature. But from witnessing all the different ways this machine can provide you with the perfect strength coffee, I'm positive the iced coffee feature works well. Just use a vessel that can tolerate both hot and cold and fill it with ice, hit the proper button and let the hot coffee trickle into it. From reading reviews and the manuals that come with this machine, I assume that this is a relatively new product for Ninja. The manuals talk of a 4 ounce pour and a frother arm--both of these features are not included on this machine. And that is not an issue for me, the person who already has both of those features on other machines, but it might make a difference to you. So, to be clear this machine does not create froth (from your own heated milk in your own cup, which will be available on another model), nor does it give you the opportunity to make a 4 ounce pour. I am plenty okay with the 7 choices (of 6 ounces to 24 ounces) of water volumes. As this is a single pour machine, (then clean the grounds out of the filter basket), I will use my own quality carafe if I want to make enough coffee for a few morning cups or if I am entertaining a guest or two. But, and this is a possible fault: 24 ounces only stretches to three 8 ounce cups of coffee or 4 six ounce cups of coffee with cream, for instance. And, I'm adding this to my original review: I'd like to find a thermal carafe that fits under the spout of this machine. One that has a pour spout and a lid and no handle. Because I've been using a double-walled stainless steel travel mug and of course those do not have pour spouts--so it's a very messy pour from travel mug to coffee cup. The carafe without its lid would need to be no more than 8" tall and hold at least 26-28 ounces to the rim. I find several on Amazon, but none show the height without the lid. Nor is it obvious if the handle is part of the lid, because I'm thinking a handle would not allow the carafe to fit close enough to the machine's dispenser. What else I've experienced so far: --This machine makes coffee that is plenty hot, so hot that I can only take a tentative sip at first (and that is with cream included.) --It takes longer to brew than a Nespresso machine. It takes less time to brew than a drip machine. And the more water you use, the longer the brewing time. The reason: This machine allows the hot water to sit and stew in the grounds to provide a stronger, richer, flavor. Some quicker machines use pressure to build flavor and richness. But then machines built on the use of pressure do not allow ingredients other than coffee beans, so no flavored coffee grounds. --Brewing is done in stages that appear as lighted bars on top of the machine. It is nice to be able to see the progress. --The cup tray raises and lowers easily to accommodate different size vessels. The coffee does pour rather close to the machine. And the spout does not push in or out. It is a bit restrictive if you use certain uniquely-shaped vessels. --The pod adapter and filter both fit in a storage bin on one side of the machine. --The included spoon hangs from a hook on the other side of the machine. --Speaking of spoons and spoonfuls: You may be surprised how quickly you go through a bag of coffee..... --You will need to make decisions about how much grounds and how much water and what size vessel. You will need to know the volumes of your different cups. Or, if that is something you don't want to do, use the K-cup feature and you'll only need to decide on the water amount and the cup size. --Cleaning is relatively easy, just the brew basket and filter or pod adapter. --Descaling is easy too: 16 ounces of white vinegar or a descale solution and water and a 2 quart vessel and push a button. It takes 75 uninterrupted minutes.

ACTUALIZACIÓN después de 9 meses: La cafetera dejó de detectar la funcion de cápsulas. (Se le cayó un imán al adaptador de pods) SOLUCION: el adaptador para cápsulas de la cafetera tienen un pequeño imán que se le cayó sin darnos cuenta por suerte lo encontré y lo volví a poner donde va y volvió a detectar las cápsulas sin problema. yo compre la version color beich pensando que la unica diferencia entre la beich y la de color negro era la maquina para hacer espuma, pero resulto que la de color beich no trae una funcion llamada ¨SPECIALTY 4 oz¨, que es la que te permite hacer los shots para los lattes y capuchinos. Asi que si piensas comprar una de estas dos versiones recomiendo la que tiene la maquina para hacer espuma por su funcion extra y la diferencia en precios es minima. para que puedan sacarle mayor provecho a la cafetera. En conclusion La de color beich funciona excelente y la recomiendo bastante, pero si pudiera comprarla otra vez compraria la de color negro con la funcion especial para capuchinos y lattes.

What an utterly disappointing experience. It is beyond me as to why Ninja would sell ANY of their coffee makers on the Amazon UK site when they come with AMERICAN PLUGS! There is no mention of this in the listing anywhere. Selling a product no one can use….what is even the point. Don’t let the reviews fool you, they are all from the Amazon US site just plastered on this UK posting to make it look good. Ninja makes great machines but not for users in the UK. Also, Amazon Customer Service is absolutely worthless. They said this machine could be used with a power adapter. It CANNOT. If you live in the UK and you need a very large paper weight, this is the right product for you.

Hermosa buena calidad
