I bought this for work and I think it makes great coffee. Wets the grounds for a bit before brewing, takes it's time. Has different brewing modes including for iced coffee, and a built in milk frother.
Can brew between 6 and 24 oz. with grounds, and also can use K- cup pods.
I have a Ninja Single-Serve machine that will do pods or grounds. So far I have only used it with grounds.
Mine will do up to a 20oz cup. My mom has a larger version that will do a single cup with grounds or pods, but can also brew a whole pot with grounds.
So far, I’m really liking mine, but I’ve only had it a few months, so I’m not sure on the longevity, though I’ve had good luck with other Ninja products in the past.
MM is a quality maker for sure, but if you don’t want to spend big bucks my suggestion would be an OXO grinder and a Ninja specialty coffee maker. The Ninja makes good coffee and you have several different batch sizes to choose from. That’s the setup I have and I’m very happy with the results I get and it comes in at less than $200. Not everyone can afford to pay $500+ for a grinder and coffee maker.
This is a good answer, but not sure it's better than a K-cup filler pod thing. I've had Ninja K-cup machines in the past and liked them, but not BIFL unfortunately. The Ninja K-cup machines I had brewed super quickly, faster than Keurig's do.
My Ninja died on me. First it leaked so I could take the tank off to fill it, then the LED clock died so I couldn't use the timer function, then finally the whole thing started to leak. Moccamaster is the way!
My mother has a ninja. I've used it, it makes a decent cup of coffee. She drinks a cup or two a day, sometimes using locally roasted beans and sometimes whatever is on sale at the grocery store. Every time she comes to visit me she comments on what great coffee my moccamaster makes and how it's better than what her ninja makes. Would upgrading be worth it to her? No, not really.
I love coffee and I've gotten deeper into it as a hobby over the last few years. I upgraded my grinder, I started roasting my own beans, etc. Drinking coffee is one of the highlights of my day. To me, dropping $$$ on a coffee machine was worth it. I've been really happy with my moccamaster - I've found it makes a consistent, delicious cup of coffee using a wide range of beans.
At the end of the day, it's a silly expensive drip coffee machine. Whether or not it's worth it is a matter of perspective.
