This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ru-vid.comUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
Very well done, and easy to understand. I always read instructions first, just to make sure I do not miss anything important, but also, is easier to actually see something in action. Good job.
Hi it's 2020 and I was today years old when I learned that you are supposed to FOLD THE EDGES of the paper filter so it doesn't collapse and block the water reaching the grounds. Holey and might I add... Moley -!. Srsly, I've ruined so many cups of coffee on my Ninja due to not doing that! And truly this entire video is EXCELLENT! I learned things I had no idea about after using the Ninja for a year (my brother gave me his last year) Wish I'd taken this class sooner:) :) Thank you so much!
I actually sat and watch the whole video. You explained it so wonderfully great! My local Canadian Tire actually have one in stock so I'll be picking it in the morning. They should have put you in the commercial!
My sister's had this Ninja coffee maker for 7 years and uses it every day. It still works perfectly except a little water does leak at the reservoir connection, but she still uses it, just wiping a little water away now and then. I took my coffee over there and made some coffee and it was so much better than my regular coffee pot makes. Not bitter at all and very smooth. I believe it's the blooming of the grounds, the water temperature, and the large shower head.
You are so awesome. Very professional. I don't care for coffee very much. I bought the IQ combo tea and coffee Ninja, but I still enjoyed your presentation of the coffee ninja. Ninja should hire you.
I just received my new Ninja machine about 3 days ago. Wasn't sure if I liked it over my other coffee machine...the one that begins with a K. After making an iced coffee I was thinking that having this capability was just awesome. Now, after watching your video, I have decided to keep it!! I'm going to gift my K machine to someone. Tomorrow I have to go to the store to buy some sugar free flavorings!!
I was on the fence about getting this machine. THIS review sold me. I sure hope they are kicking you something for such a great and informative review.
+tonymengela Hey Tony, I'm sorry that you are having a bad experience! Make sure that you are using the Ninja scoop to measure your coffee. If you use as much as you used to use to get great-tasting coffee, you'll use too much. If you're used to drinking stale, watery coffee from a Keurig, you may not like the coffee from the Ninja Coffee Bar. And I don't mean to be negative! It's just that the coffee in a K-cup isn't fresh, it's expensive and it's not brewing it the way coffee should be brewed. You'll save money using the Ninja Coffee Bar. You just might need to play with the type of coffee you're using and make sure that you are measuring it correctly. If it's bitter or sour, something is wrong. Thermal Flavor Extraction was engineered to avoid that very thing. Good luck!
Catherine Gudvangen I have, and I do. But no matter what I do it always has that 2 hour old coffee taste. And yes I use fresh ground coffee.... regular french dip is still much better than this machine and the cost in minimal. To me its just a fashion piece to the counter.
+tonymengela I'm so bummed! I would do one last thing and call customer service and see if they can troubleshoot that your machine is brewing correctly.
Ty Ty ...I looked at your video before opening and then I saw the instructions ..but I love the video. I watch from being to end very helpful.. I love videos because they tend to show you what the instructions don't tell you.. Ty Ty for the quick reply and I'm sure I'm going to love my machine..
This video is what made me decide to go buy one....I swear I could smell the coffee brewing. Lol It wasn't much longer after watching it that I did smell it brewing!! LOVE IT thanks the video!
my favorite version would be the latest ninja model in that square design, really pretty, but with a fresh coffee bean grinder on top. hope thats the future plan for this model. so when i set my morning timer i get even the freshest, not stale, coffee powder for my coffee!
My daughters got this for me last Christmas. Im watching your video because im going to set up a coffee bar for my company flying in from out of town.. 🌺🌺🌺aloha🌺🌺🌺
I can,t wait to use my ninja coffee bar. I get it tomorrow afternoon between 11:30 and 13:45. Can,t wait to use it. I am gonna checkt this video out and use it as a guid super video of the ninja coffee bar . I don,t have a specialty brew on my ninja coffee bar. Have a Nice day 👍🏼😊👋🏼
Ok my wife and I's 2nd Keurig died! I have been looking at this Coffee machine (we already have a Ninja mega blender and Ninja Cooking system) after viewing your video (great job by the way) Sold!!!! getting one for Christmas! Midas well be a total Ninja family!
Just bought one of these and the 1st thing that I noticed was how much stronger the coffee is compared to previous coffee makers I've owned. I love rich taste but I can see how others might be be turned off by it if they don't like a rich/stronger coffee.
Hi! Hopefully not stronger, just deeper flavor. Make sure you are using the Ninja scoop to measure, you definitely need to use less coffee than you would normally have used before - you're going to save so much money!!
My dad bought this coffee maker for me at college.. I wasn't very excited about it (because I only know how to use a Keurig) until I watched this video! I was wondering how to clean it and how often should I clean it?
I'm so happy to hear that!! You are going to find that once you have ground your coffee (or even buy ground coffee) it is just as easy as the Keurig --- but then you're going to want to take the next step and grind your coffee fresh, too! It just keeps getting better!! The Ninja Coffee Bar will tell you when to clean, the light will go on and then it's just a press of a button. The harder your water, the more often it will want to clean.
try everything! especially an over ice -- super yum. make sure to use super cold fresh ice and a lot of it! The ice will melt perfectly for the freshest iced coffee you've ever tasted! I usually pre-add my milk and syrup to the glass first, then the ice, then brew! Enjoy!
+Catherine Gudvangen HEY CATHERINE I LOVE YOUR VIDEO HOW YOU EXPLANE STEP BY STEP ALSO DOES THAT COFFEE BLEND COME TOGETHER WITH THE COFFEE NINJA BAR I WHAT THE WHOLE ORDER
Hey you all! The new model is now available! It has a built-in frother which is super easy to use and really easy to clean! I love it and it makes the BEST FROTH. Go here to find out more! www.ninjakitchen.com/brewing/ninja-coffee-bar-system/
Hi Catherine, I'm thinking of getting this as a gift. The person I'm giving it to loves ice coffee beverages a lot more than hot. Could you show us a video strictly for variety of iced coffee? Also could you please post a link of your review for the new model you listed?? Thanks Catherine.
Hi Mina! I don't have the new model yet, but can tell you that it's exactly the same, EXCEPT it has a bolder option called Cafe Forte in two size options AND it has a built in frother! It's really easy to remove and clean. There are some other little features, too, that just make it even easier and more convenient to use. I would love to show you more recipes for Over Ice coffee - and I'm so excited that you're going to get it for your friend. I am telling you, I have never had fresher, more delicious tasting ice coffee. It's incredible. Just like the Japanese method of brewing coffee over ice - so super fresh because you're brewing and chilling at the same time, capturing all of that flavor. There's nothing like it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the quick reply Catherine. It's actually for my sister and she loves ice coffee from starbucks so I can't wait to give this to her as a gift. Last question and I'm very happy you could do another video for the ice coffee drinks. What type of coffee roast would work for the machine? Thanks.
Any type of roast - it's all a matter of preference. I love very deep dark roasts and I don't like the blonde fruity roasts - it's one of the best things about the Ninja Coffee Bar, you can use your favorite and you can buy it fresh! Just be sure to grind it (or buy or have it ground at the store) to a medium coarse grind. Your sister will love going into Starbucks and buying a pound of coffee for $11 (which will give her about 60 cups of coffee!) instead of buying three iced coffees for $11!!
I looked up many recipes online and they're asking to use "ground". Is it ok to use ground as well? I guess they prefer people to use medium coarse? Any idea why?
I Just bought this but I am wondering where all this other equipment came from? Like the frother? Mine didn't come with that or the machine that makes the frapuccino...
Latisha Graham make sure you are using the Ninja Scoop with the correct amount of coffee! You might be using too much coffee. It is easy to do because we have grown so accustomed to using too much.
Hey you! You rock on camera! I should be so privileged to know you, and if I didn't know you, how I would LOVE to know you....so, where do I buy a Ninja Coffee Bar?
better than that weird breathing ninja guy from their channel ty for an easy video that was pleasing to the ears instead of a nervous prepubescent boy breathing at us with that tone of breath.
TiltOut you mean his yellow teeth and eyes darting all over to read the teleprompter as fast as he could while maintaining the creepiest smile ever didn't make you sold on that video alone?? haha I agree..
Hello Catherine. I was looking into this machine but decided to buy after watching your great fantastic review. I've used it for several days now and I noticed that the water leaks from the underneath of the reservoir. Is it a defect? Is it supposed to leak? Any ideas? Thanks!
+Simona Bezman It's not supposed to leak. There may be a slight amount of water there because that's where the water is moving from the reservoir into the Ninja, but it should only be a small amount and I wouldn't call it a leak. There is a chance that the reservoir is not seating correctly, so the valve is being left open too long. Just make sure that when you remove the reservoir from the machine, that you are turning it counterclockwise to remove it -- and when you place it back on, you place it gently onto the machine and then turn it clockwise to reseat it. And don't fill the reservoir over the max fill line. If it's still leaking, then there's something wrong and you should take it back. I hope that helped ---
Great review. I have a question? when you use it is it under your cabinets on your counter top and does it let out a lot of steam. I was about to order it when I seen that is had reviews saying it let out too much steam and was messing up the upper kitchen cabibets....tfs
That is definitely a possibility! There is a lot of steam, but I personally have not experienced any damage on my cabinets. However, I am mostly making single serve cups and travel mugs and not full carafes. Keep an eye on it or simply pull it out from under your cabinet. It's still the most amazing coffee brewer ever!!
How to use: put it back in the box and return to the store from which you bought it. This product will fail. Remember this comments the first time (and second, and third) that you find this thing leaked all over your counter top.
Michelle Sells the new model is really great - it has a built in frother that is easy to use and clean and they added a feature to Auto-iQ: Cafe Forte. It is a more rich brew specifically designed to bring out the unique flavor of the bean. Both the original and the new brewer have the same great Thermal Flavor Extraction Technology so both are still awesome. But it is only getting better as the coffee team at Ninja keeps developing new ideas. I still have the original brewer and still love it.
+Alejandro Peralta I'm so glad that you got the stainless steel option, I love that! So happy you are appreciating the amazing coffee from the Ninja Coffee Bar! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate this video, and thank you for sharing! I purchased a Ninja Coffee Bar a few days ago from QVC item # K43557 and UPS tracking says it is out for delivery today. I have a Ninja drink maker that crushes ice, so, I am hoping to make frappe mocha like I get from McDonald's.
Hello, Thank you for such well put together video, i love it. However, one of the reasons I was searching for info on the Ninja coffee bar, its because I am not sure what kind or type of cups to use, the infomercial for the ninja only uses the ninja cups as I notice, but your weren't, at less they don't have the ninja logo. could you please let me know if OK to use our regular coffee cups? FY: my travel and coffee mugs were filled all to the top and no room for milk. Thank you Ill really apppreciate your input! Sincerely, Bella!
+My channel Hi Bella! The Ninja cups are great because they are double-insulated and keep your coffee super warm - AND when you make a cappuccino, you can see the pretty layers! But you can use any cup - the Classic Cup brew is 10 oz and the Classic Travel brew is 14 oz. If you want room for milk, choose Rich Cup or Rich Travel - and your coffee will be just concentrated enough to allow room! And you'll still get that great coffee flavor, never watered down.
+Rebecca Mattox You can use any bullet blender! You can brew directly into the blender cup, add the ingredients and the ice and then blend it up! There are fabulous recipes in the book that comes with your Ninja Coffee Bar. Of course, the Nutri-Ninja blender is the one we would recommend!!! Just like Sofia uses.
@@ogcatg yes!! Nothing at all!! I usually have to press it a few times thanx so much for the advice my auntie gave it to me so I don't have any of the instructions so I just wanted to be sure I wasn't skipping a step or something
If you have tried everything, including unplugging it for one minute, then try pouring descaler or diluted vinegar directly into the water intake. Good luck!
You can't actually safely place the Ninja Coffeemaker under a cabinet to take advantage of the slide out filter basket. Way too much steam produced.See the orange label about the slide-out filter basket that you didn't remove? On either side there are steam vents that produce as much steam as a steamer iron when brewing a carafe.If mold and/or wood rot, word warp, or delamination of veneer are not a concern then you can indeed place it safely underneath a cabinet.
+Beach er I cannot confirm nor deny that I never pull out my Ninja Coffee Bar from under my cabinets. There is a LOT of steam. I have an undercounter light and wood cabinets. So far so good after 10 months. But yes, not recommended. I'm also just brewing cups most of the time, not full carafes - so not as much steam for long periods of time. The slide out filter basket is still great for when I need to empty it or add coffee. I hope you are enjoying your Ninja Coffee Bar!
