BrokenRoboticFishNinja Coffee Bar. I have had mine for 5 years and love it. The frothing wand is a joke, but it's great as a drip coffee machine that has lots of size options.
AdFeeling8333A cheap basic Mr. Coffee drip. If you want to spend more I love my Ninja 12 cup machine. It blooms the coffee and makes great coffee.
DancingUnicorn2014Loved my Mr. coffee! Lasts forever and still going strong we just upgraded to a Ninja and I love that too!
Grindfather901I’m perfectly happy with my $70 Ninja 12 Cup and it has an auto start timer. Use it every single night and it’s ready in the morning. Full 12c of water in the hopper. 70g of Lavatza dark roast from Costco. 90 clicks on a Kingrinder K6. Pretty good is good enough for us.
huligoogooIs the coffee nice and hot?! I have the ninja 12 cup and it’s not hot enough imo
sanitaryStevesecond the Ninja! it makes a fantastic coffee.
TotallyNotDadWe bought the Ninja 12 Cup, it’s very simple works well, I’ve had it for like 5 years use it daily, only issues is the LED basically died on it, but it still works for brewing.
kriffordlyNo it hasn’t been worth in my opinion. I am a coffee snob, only buy beans from my fav micro roasters, grind my own beans, am careful not to let the hot plate burn for taste. I have not tasted any improvement from the much cheaper ninja drip coffee machine that I replaced. I kinda wish I went with a different brand. The moccamaster seems to be marketed more on “longevity”, the ease and ability to clean, quality of manufacturing. But lacking in my opinion in a few features, for example ability to brew without the hotplate on. And the head that drips water is an odd shape that I can’t help feel is not optimal for spreading water across the entire reservoir.
