Ninja Specialty Drip Coffee Maker | DualBrew™ Pro Specialty Coffee Machine w/ Frother, Paper Filter | Brew with Pods & Grounds, K Cups Compatible | 4 Brew Styles, 13 Cup to Pot Sizes | Black, CFP301

I have a love/hate relationship with Ninja products - I really love them. But I strongly dislike the warranty. And I hate the lifespan. Once they are done - they're done. I have had a couple of Ninja blenders that surpass the crushing and blending power of my 30 year old beehive Oster - but their life expectancy is about five years. This was a very strong consideration in purchasing a $200 coffee maker. I am not a coffee connoisseur - I typically drink one cup daily - very strong with cream only. But it has to be a perfect cup. I want to enjoy every single sip. I found a Ninja coffee system, brand new, at a thrift store locally for $15. The coffee was amazing. Perfect every single time. When my son moved to his own place, I gifted it to him and started researching one for me. Since I am the only coffee drinker in the house now (no, I'm not crying because he's gone, don't be silly) I considered a Keurig. But I honestly do not like the quality of the coffee from those machines - have tried several but it is not at all to my liking. However, the amount of wasted coffee I was dealing with really started bothering me and decided I needed an option for one cup. This machine is really perfect. The one cup option that I thought I settled for because it is a K cup option turned out to produce an amazing cup of coffee. I THINK it is because the Ninja makes three holes into the K cup rather than the standard one hole other machines use? It may also be the water temperature gets super hot. I do not know, but I really appreciate the depth of flavor from the K cup option on this machine. Another nice option that I never thought I'd want is the frother. It seems silly to me, but one comment in the Ninja manual stated that a cold cup with cream steals the heat from the coffee and changes the flavor - so I toyed around with the frother, using the microwave for 30 seconds and then blending the coffee and cream - its fantastic. This week I had a fever and opted for tea over coffee - I remembered the hot water option on this machine - it gave me two options - hot water and boil - I selected boil and my tea was steeping in no time at the perfect temperature. I absolutely appreciate that the water runs through a separate dispenser so my tea did not have any coffee residue or discoloration or flavor. I plan now to retire my stand alone boiler. The reservoir on the Ninja is adequate for my one cup daily - it is very easy to remove and fill or even fill while in place - I prefer the side option, but like that it can be attached to the back to save space. I don't think that would make much difference because this machine is very big - it does not fit under my standard cabinets. I bought this as a birthday gift for myself and if that last son hadn't left at the same time, I likely wouldn't have spent that much money on myself - but I was pitiful. I am extremely happy I did because the cost is worth it. I am very hopeful this machine will last past my 5 year expectation. Since I do not purchase coffee daily, I cannot state that I have saved money - I mean, I have because I'm not making half pots just for myself and wasting most of that - but if I were a coffee shop customer, I would absolutely think I'd save money with the frother thing and the quality of the coffee - It is really a great machine and I very highly recommend you purchase it. I was debating between the Keurig Duo Pro and this machine and given the quality of the K cup coffee from this, I haven't once looked back - there is no way in my mind the Keurig would produce the same quality cup from the K cups. Enjoy

Well packaged for delivery so it arrived in excellent condition. Makes excellent coffee and tea, frother works very well. Has separate water source for coffee and other drinks so tea doesn’t taste like coffee. Offers choice of coffee strength. Easy alternate between coffee pot or pods. Highly recommend this item.

Very happy with this coffee maker, and all the attention to the details. Makes a pot of coffee or uses pods and it does not take up a lot of space for being a dual coffee maker. The pot has a tube in it so that it doesn’t splash; it also has a fold down cupholder so it doesn’t splash if making one serving. The foam wand is easy to use and easy to rinse clean and tuck away. Has lots of options for the different variations of coffee that can be made. It also has a large reservoir so that I don’t need to fill it all week when I’m on the go. Also has a separate water hole for hot water for tea, etc. so it doesn’t have residual coffee in the water. I also bought the extended three-year warranty for it because I can tell if anything were to happen to it, I am going to want this coffee maker again.

We tried every aspect of the Ninja DualBrew Pro except espresso. My husband drinks coffee; I drink tea. Thumbs up on the Keurig pod coffee. The machine brewed HOT coffee with outstanding flavor. The boiling water feature for my tea boiled at least 2 ounces away in steam. I’m at 5500 feet altitude and had already performed the calibration process. The tea was so flavorful; much better than my normal BUT it was lukewarm even after heating the froth. LOVE the froth attachment. My husband’s coffee, brewed with the silver permanent coffee filter, was lukewarm. I tasted it, it was brewed on Rich and it was very tasty. I will try the heated coffee cup option but I’ve never had to do this previously with our little thermal carafe coffeemaker. I had it on delay but it never started at the designated time. I am finding the stopper for the coffee pot is difficult to seat on the pot. I’m not sure you could ever make espresso because the water does not get hot enough. So we’ve got pros and cons. It’s a beautifully designed machine that is so versatile but we like HOT coffee and tea. UPDATE: Changed to 5 stars. We generally brew coffee and tea one cup at a time. So the lukewarm issue pertains to carafe made coffee. When brewed with ceramic mugs, the coffee and tea is HOT. I think the "heated mug" option discussed in the instructions would resolve the lukewarm coffee/tea brewed in the carafe. Also, I resolved the Delay problem. It has to be done every night. I just assumed if it was set up and in Delay, it would work like my other coffee maker. You have to actually turn it on. After using the Ninja for a while, we both really love it. It makes outstanding coffee and tea and it's sort of fun to use. Update #2. After 1 month use, First, the coffeemaker would not “read” the pod adapter so could no longer brew pod coffee. Then while on the phone with Shark/Ninja customer service, the coffee feature went out. So now, I can only boil water. The customer service was excellent. I should have a new coffeemaker in 3-5 days, no shipping fees because it broke within 90 days. This reminds me of the Cuisinart toaster/airfryer/oven I got which did not work but the second one broke too. After spending so much time on the phone, I just gave it away. We’ll see if this coffeemaker makes it to the 1-year warranty without breaking. Still love it though. Update 2: received a new coffeemaker unit without any of the accessories within 3 days. The pod unit works perfectly. All the issues mentioned about lukewarm coffee does not seem to be a problem anymore probably due to single use in a ceramic mug. I really love this coffeemaker!

Everything we wanted. Classic and rich brew modes are perfect. Make a range of sizes from small cup to full carafe. With high quality coffee ground to medium and rich brew it tastes identical to the best local coffee shop around. We got goldtone reusable mesh filter to fit. Has the k-cup option if you want to try a speciality. Brewing any size cup as drip with bloom only takes a few minutes. Consistent temp and quality out. Can’t wait to try the frother soon.

I absolutely love this coffee maker. I use the k-pods during the week and the carafe on weekends. Using the same pods as my old k machine, this makes coffee that tastes richer and smoother. My old machine didn't have the carafe option, so I can't offer a comparison there, but I am pleased with the drip coffee from this machine. Additionally, there are lots of size and strength options. The mechanical frother works well considering it's not a steamer. A great unit, in my opinion.

Let it be known: I love coffee, things that make my life easier, and multi-functional products. Unfortunately for Ninja, I also love to criticize, and I certainly have some issues with this coffee maker. But before that, what's good about it? It is incredibly easy to switch from K-Cups, grounds, or hot water needs. Since I moved to grinding my own beans, I no longer have much of a use for the K-Cup adapter, but it is incredibly easy to use and clean. Strangely, Ninja didn't put notches in the K-Cup holder, so if it seals just right it will take some prying with fingernails to get the pod out, but as someone who doesn't really use it, I don't find it terribly annoying. I also really appreciate that this brewer uses a shower/fountain head for the grounds, since that way the water doesn't just drill down the middle of your coffee, and has the best chance to evenly disperse throughout the basket. So I don't want to get too long-winded on what's great, because this machine just has so many little things that I'd end up writing a dissertation, and I think other people have already covered what's great. What I do want to talk about, is the little things that stick out as "odd or annoying." My biggest complaint comes from the dial used to select brew sizes; not in its physical function, but what sizes Ninja has selected. It seems that Ninja decided to base their sizes on things like "A big cup" or "1/4 of a carafe," instead of actual "number of cups." Because of this, you get measurement options like 15 or 28oz. This is hardly the end of the world, but if you grind your own beans you have to end up doing some weird mental math for "well that's 2 cups and 3 oz, so 2.5 cups, which means I need 25 grams of beans......" Like I said, not the end of the world, just weird. What is another weird inconvenience is the Keep Warm button; it only lights up/lets you click it once you get into sizes it deems worthy of the carafe. And the smallest size? 28 ounces. So if you want to make 2-3 cups of coffee, but leave it in the carafe since you only want 1 cup now, you have to choose your batch size, wait for it to brew, and then turn the nob to 28oz so it will let you press Keep Warm. I understand the minimalism-chic choice to have as few things lit up as possible, but this is truly the definition of Form Over Function. Ninja won't let me keep 18 ounces of coffee warm because they decided I should just put it all in a big travel mug. Now, none of these issues would stop me from recommending this coffee maker. Coffee is such an expensive hobby/interest that a 150$ coffee maker is still technically mid-tier, so I don't expect it to be flawless. It has a lot of functionality that I think a lot of people will find enjoyable, and makes a great cup/carafe of coffee quickly and easily. But because of weird choices by Ninja I can't say it is a 5/5. It is a solid 4/5, and worth your time, but definitely not perfect.

The good coffee maker lots of great functionality. The ability to get both hot AND boiling water instantly, the milk frother, movable water tank, ability to do both baskets and pods, clearly the people at Ninja put some thought into this machine. The ONLY exception, and it's a big one, is that you are locked into pre-set coffee brewing amounts. The SMALLEST carafe you can brew is 26oz. Which is too much coffee for one person. I would the up wasting about 6oz of coffee and the extra grounds every day. So I end up having to brew TWO, 10oz pots. But, which I learned the hard way, the warming plate doesn't come on when you brew mug size coffees. So, I have to set the maker to 26oz, manually turn the plate on, then turn the brew select to 10oz and do that twice. It's kinda a pain in the butt. It would be nice if they had a: +2oz, -2oz button to fine tune the brewing amount.

Haven't had a drip coffee maker of any kind for the last 10 years. I have been using a french press for the last five years and before that my coffee was made in a percolator. A friend introduced us to the variety available in coffee pods, which my wife loves, so that kind of made up my mind. The Ninja CFP301 seemed to have it all and it meant I could do coffee from grounds as well as from pods. We buy beans from a local roaster and the quality of the finished coffee matters a great deal along with the versatility of using k pods. I can't begin to say enough good things about our Ninja coffee maker. We keep 4 or 5 different types of coffee beans on hand and this machine has made great coffee from them all. The fact that it dispenses hot water for tea, etc as well as makes coffee is a bonus in a small kitchen, so no more kettle on the counter. The footprint of this machine is not as big as I feared so it fits well on our counter top. The brew styles work a charm as does the milk frother. OK, so you have to heat the milk up first in the microwave instead of steaming it hot...no problem. The 'Specialty' brew style is worth having the machine for all by itself. While it doesn't produce the crema that true espresso machines do, it makes a cup of espresso from ground coffee that looks, smells and tastes close enough to genuine espresso that making lattes and cappuccinos is easy and a great complement to my kitchen. The conversion from grounds coffee to k pods is simple and I even bought reusable pod capsules that work very well. If there is a con of any kind it's that the warming plate keeps the coffee a bit hotter than I like so that a pot of coffee doesn't age well. I turn it off after a few minutes. I heartily recommend this coffee maker and have done so to all of my coffee fanatic friends.

C’est bien mais je ne suis pas conquise

Muy buena!! Puedes hacer café con capsulas KRUPS o con cafe molido para cafetera. En MX es algo difícil conseguir las capsulas KRUPS a un precio razonable. La limpieza es rápida. La recomiendo al 100%

When we received this product we didn’t realise it was a USA plug but the seller vertex went beyond and above to help us find a converter - unfortunately after an amazing start the machine blew a fuse so we begrudgingly returned it - Canay @ Vertex was amazing and made every transaction so easy and hassle free Canay deserves 100+ for all the help we received a big massive thank you and I’m praying for the day this amazing product becomes totally UK friendly and once again a big shout out for Vertex and especially Canay 😍

My wife ordered this Ninja on Amazon UK and when delivered we found that it was for use in the USA , with a US plug attached this machine was dispatched to us from Europe, when a electrical coffee maker comes with a US Plug with 120 voltage and UK on 230 V it’s definitely not fit for purpose in the UK
