- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Size: 10 cup - Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseFor context, I've owned several Nespressos, a manual espresso machine, KCup machine, etc....which all were fine and have their pros. Though KCups are not my favorite. But this coffee machine is currently my favorite and I can see it being a household staple for quite awhile.
This thing is great for single cup brews to save on your coffee bean or ground usage. The scoop they provide tells you how much grounds to use based on your cup or pot size, which is great! I tended to waste more coffee on traditional machines as I always used too much!
You have several cup sizes to choose from including full or half pot. The temperature is hot but not "let this cup sit for 5mins before you can take a first sip", hot.
I really like the specialty function which does 4oz. You use more grounds with this option so the coffee is a bit strong, which is excellent for those protein iced coffees or milk heavy coffee drinks.
It's easy to select your cup or pot size with the turn knob and coffee strength and style with the buttons.
If you have something set wrong or not enough water, it will alert you.
Overall, excellent machine I'd recommend to anyone who just wants a good cup of coffee with options.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023Size: 10 cup - Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseThe “specialty” button on this model makes a better cup of coffee than my pour over method, not exaggerating, which I’ve done for years. Read on for tips.
I first bought the Ninja model without the “specialty” button at the store- and then got on amazon and realized that the store didnt even have this model. So I returned that and ordered this.
While the specialty option does not taste just like an espresso, that’s fine with me because the flavor is fantastic (Gevalia Colombia!) and honestly I don’t like how compact and thick espresso tastes, to drink every morning anyway. (I returned a Nespresso before buying this. Not for me). I use just 2 “big scoops” instead of the 4 recommended by Ninja, and it is the tastiest coffee, rivaling fresh ground bean pour overs and beating most, which is a shock to me. I think if you used the 4 “big scoop” recipe it would work well for drinks with milk. I don’t drink milk in coffee but can imagine double the strength working fine for that purpose.
I no longer have time in the morning for pour overs, unfortunately, but this machine is really making it easy on me! I am in love with just touching a button and walking away- and getting better tasting coffee! It “blooms” the grinds and has a showerhead water dispenser, so it might just work better than a pour over, in terms of consistency. This recipe is strong, though, so I often clean out the filter and just hit the “classic” button again, into a clean glass, and use most of that water to dilute my drink. The idea is that coffee is simply less bitter the less time water is running over it. So brewing a lower yield cup for shorter time, and then adding clean hot water to taste, really does rival a pour over. I do this even for a half carafe- just select a lower yield option (see the quick guide) checking that the brew coming out never becomes that pale brown color (that’s the bitter part). Just always clean out the used grinds to get some clean water. You have to play with the preset output options and amount of coffee to make a larger quantity this way. But it’s way less time to do than standing over the grinds and pouring yourself.
My main concern is heating water inside plastic, which is why I started using the pour over method. I wish Ninja would make it BPA free and label it as such, as some other brands do. I was not able to find a machine without plastic, and the BPA free brands had some bad reviews about performance, which I don’t have time for. So Ninja, if you’re reading, please make your coffee makers BPA free as I know lots of people won’t use coffee makers due to the plastic. I just have been forced into using a machine, so, taking my chances but really enjoying the coffee.
If you are looking at other Ninja models, or other single serve option coffee makers, this guy has it all and performs very well. You can go from a single morning cup to making a full pot, and all the milk drinks. It does it all. I read so many reviews and they are right. This is a great machine.
I store the water tank in the fridge when Im done to prevent mold growth. There is definitely water inside the machine after a brew (same as any model) so dont let this sit unused and definitely run the cleaning cycles as recommended. I will be keeping my eye on where the water goes in.
But the removable tank is easy to pop in the fridge. I really like that.
Ok! Please click helpful if this helped you! I am late to work now but wanted to help you out! Have a good one and hope you buy this guy! :)
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024Size: 12 CupVerified PurchaseNinja Hot & Iced XL Coffee Maker Review: The Ultimate Coffee Brewer for Every Mood
The Ninja Hot & Iced XL Coffee Maker (CM371) is a game-changer for coffee enthusiasts, offering incredible versatility, sleek design, and outstanding performance at a fantastic price point. Whether you're a fan of hot coffee, iced drinks, or crave cold brew in minutes, this coffee maker delivers.
Why It Stands Out
1. Versatile Brew Styles
With 4 brew styles—Classic, Rich, Over Ice, and Cold Brew—you can craft your coffee exactly the way you like it. The cold brew function is especially impressive, delivering a smooth, rich coffee in just 10 minutes without the usual hours-long wait.
2. Multiple Brew Sizes
This machine doesn’t just serve individuals—it caters to every situation. With 8 brew sizes ranging from small cups to an XL travel mug or even a 12-cup carafe, it’s perfect for solo mornings, family brunches, or fueling the entire office.
3. Iced Coffee That’s Never Watery
The "Over Ice" setting brews coffee directly over ice with a bold flavor profile, ensuring your drink stays full of taste, not watered down. This feature alone makes it a must-have for iced coffee lovers.
4. Thoughtful Design
The removable reservoir with auto-metering is a genius addition. It not only eliminates the need for manual measuring but also makes refilling and cleaning a breeze. The permanent filter saves money and reduces waste, and its programmable features let you wake up to the perfect brew.
5. Superior Coffee Quality
Equipped with Thermal Flavor Extraction technology, the Ninja ensures even saturation and precise temperature control for perfectly brewed coffee every time. Its 1550 watts of power provide fast and consistent performance.
6. Eco-Friendly and Pod-Free
Say goodbye to plastic pod waste! This machine gives you unlimited variety with your own coffee grounds, making it both customizable and environmentally friendly.
Price and Value
At just $99.99 (Black Friday deal), this coffee maker is a steal compared to its $149.99 list price. The option for interest-free payments makes it even more accessible. Considering its range of features and versatility, it offers outstanding value for both casual drinkers and coffee aficionados.
Pros
4 customizable brew styles
8 brew sizes, from single-serve to 12-cup carafe
Iced coffee and cold brew functions
Removable reservoir with auto-metering for convenience
Permanent filter reduces waste and saves money
No pods required for unlimited coffee variety
Compact and modern design for any kitchen
Cons
Glass carafe may not retain heat as long as a thermal option
Slightly larger footprint compared to simpler machines
Final Verdict
The Ninja Hot & Iced XL Coffee Maker is more than a coffee machine—it’s a personal barista. Its ability to brew everything from rich hot coffee to perfectly crafted iced drinks sets it apart. With its innovative features, eco-friendly design, and unbeatable price, this coffee maker is a must-have for anyone who takes their coffee seriously.
Rating: 4.8/5 stars
Whether you’re a casual coffee drinker or a brewing enthusiast, this Ninja will elevate your coffee game to the next level. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025Size: 12 CupVerified PurchaseAfter two weeks of using the Ninja Hot & Iced XL Coffee Maker with Rapid Cold Brew, we've noticed a significant reduction in our coffee expenses since we now only need to buy ground coffee instead of K-Cups. The coffee it brews is wonderfully rich, and the machine is incredibly easy to use. Surprisingly, it doesn’t take up as much space on our coffee bar countertop as we initially thought. We also love the experience of sharing a carafe of coffee, which we didn’t realize we missed. Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid
Size: 10 cup - Stainless SteelVerified PurchaseJust a good, reliable, well built coffee machine. Nothing overly fancy, it makes good coffee and looks good on my kitchen counter. Purchased in July 2024, haven’t had a single issue as of Feb 25/25.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is it! It's finally here!
Size: 12 CupVerified PurchaseThis is the coffee machine I've been waiting for! Not yet around in Canada, but ships from the USA via Amazon Canada.
I don't need a coffee machine that makes tea, I don't need a spinning whirly gig on the side to froth milk... I need a 'Coffee Machine!' And this is it! Boy does it keep coffee hot and that's on the low 'keep warm' setting which doesn't tarnish the flavor. And what about that flavor, it's amazing whether just brewing a single mug or brewing a complete giraffe (it has a long neck) the flavor is consistent. Love, love, love the cold brew feature. How have I lived without this? Previously I'd brew a pot of coffee and put it in the fridge to cool down, but this baby brews straight over ice, again by the mug, if that's all you need. Again, awesome full flavor without being bitter.
It sits under the counter too and because of the horizontal action of the brew basket, you don't have to move the machine everytime you want to brew a coffee.
The included measuring spoon attached to the side and 'drip stop' feature make this machine standout from the crowd for sure.
I'm English, we don't make cups of tea in a coffee machine and I believe you would be deported from the UK for doing so.
So if it's real coffee you're into and not all that ridiculous frothing nonsense, this is the machine for you!
