Ninja Coffee Maker vs Mr Coffee

★★★★★ Great Coffee Maker. After years of owning Keurigs only to have each one bite the dust after a year or two, we decided to go back to a drip coffee maker. Plus, this is much easier on our environment. Do you take time to use those fillable little pods? No, we didn't either. This is so easy. Fill the reservoir, large capacity or small amounts, add the coffee grounds with the provided measuring spoon which attaches to the side of the machine, and voila. Coffee in just a few minutes. Lots of drip holes ensure an even pour and better taste. It comes with a filter that we rinse after each use, but we also use a cone-shaped number 4 natural filter. Clean-up is easy. Lots of options for the quantity and for strength of your brew. Timer if you wish to set for morning wake up. Also, a keep warm timer which we've never had before. As the one who sleeps in, I particularly love this feature. Good coffee maker. No need to spend hundreds of dollars when this is out there. Well done, Ninja!

★★★★★ Very good so far. I bought this coffee maker after going through both a Moccamaster and a Bonavita in less than a year. I have very hard water and the Moccamaster clogged up after I descaled it. It was my fault that I did not descale it often enough, but I misjudged how often it needed it because you can't use reverse osmosis water in it, like I could with my previous brewers. This resulted in a $100 repair in less than a year. I decided to give the Bonavita Enthusiast instead. I tried it because Wirecutter recommended the thermal carafe model (I don't like thermal carafes -- too hard to keep clean), thinking that the glass carafe/hotplate model would be comparable. Big mistake. What a waste of time and money -- they don't pay for free shipping for returns, even when you keep the brewer less than 30 days. The coffee wasn't particularly hot, and then was cold within a short period of time. The hotplate was less than 125 degrees. So next I tried this Ninja model, and my, my, my. Great, perfectly hot coffee for a much lower price. The carafe doesn't drip when you pour. It all goes in the dishwasher or is easy to wipe clean. It has a setting for "classic" coffee which I really prefer and the attached scoop accurately measures the appropriate amount of coffee without my having to weigh it. If you want a stronger cup, it has a setting for that. I haven't tried it, but it's there. If you want to brew a smaller amount, it still makes a very tasty pot of coffee.The hotplate heats the carafe before brewing begins, and keeps it hot for at least 2 hours after. You can program it to keep the pot heated for a longer period of time if desired.The built in filter works very well, or you can replace it with paper filters, which is probably healthier. The filter basket has high sides and fits #4 paper filters snugly so that you are less likely to have the paper filter collapse and have a mess all over your counter.All in all, this is an excellent coffee brewer for a reasonable price. It is thoughtfully designed and brews a reliably great cup of coffee. I don't know how durable it is, but I am very pleased so far. It isn't as fast as the Moccamaster, but the coffee tastes better and is just as hot. I'm sticking with the Ninja.

★★★★★ The Only Coffee Pot We'll Buy. This is second one of these Ninja coffee pots we've ordered due how good the coffee is. We love good tasting coffee and we've found this coffee pot to provide consistently rich flavored, hot coffee. The settings are easy, and it even allows you to set the coffee hot plate to be active for up to 4 hours which is great for all morning coffee drinkers. The built in coffee scoop is a bonus because it's always handy and where it's supposed to be. Even though we prefer paper filters, the permanent gold filter is great to have for those times when you're out of filters. We had a previous version of this coffee pot and it was reliable for 4+ years. As our daily caffeine support system (we even take it on vacation with us), that's around 1,500 pots of coffee so I think we got our money's worth and more. You can brew 4-cups in 8 short minutes if you're in a hurry and need to get out the door. We typically make 10-cups in the mornings and have always felt that it's quick to get the job done. Will order again if ever needed.

★★★★★ Another fine Ninja product now sits in my kitchen. Since my Ninja Flip-up oven is my go-to daily kitchen appliance and my Ninja Never-Dull kitchen knife system is always in use, I decided to replace the Mr. Coffee maker with this 12-cup Ninja coffee maker. It is amazing, uses less coffee, and makes coffee that tastes much richer than the old machine-brewed coffee. I have also gotten spoiled by the so-called 'delay-brew' feature, which has my coffee ready to drink every morning. Setting the clock or the delay brew time is easy, simple, and works every time. I also like the 'stay warm' feature that allows me to set how long it stays hot. A few other features are both handy and well thought out. Ninja is taking over the world. When I need a new toaster, I will see what Ninja has to offer for sure. An all-around winner, in my opinion.

★★★★☆ I purchased this coffee maker in January 2023. My husband and I like this product. Easy to set up, easy to clean, makes good coffee. We like the detachable water bucket. The clock is easy to set. Etc. On average, we use the pot 3 times every day.This morning, as the five beeps at the end of the brewing cycle were beeping, my husband smelled smoke. It was coming from the coffee maker, and the beeping didn't stop at five. It just kept going.Anyhoo, it appears to be a goner. All in all, we used the coffee maker about 1450 times in 16 months, and now it's done.And now I'm here to order another one. I just wish these things would last longer, but it has been a long time since you could buy an appliance and expect it to last 5 years, let alone 20. What a waste.

★★★★★ Great coffee maker. I love this coffee maker. The removable water container really helps to get the right amount of water. Others have indicators, but they are difficult to judge the level. I typically have one cup in the morning, and this has a setting to still make good coffee with a small batch. It has a permanent filter and measuring scoop. It looks great, works well, and the coffee is delicious. Great product at a reasonable price.

★★★★★ good coffee maker, not expensive. One thing different about this from my previous coffee maker from Mr. Coffee is, it does not automatically turn off after an hour or so. That may or may not be desirable as a feature, depending on your needs. For me it works well; it also makes a noise if it's been turned on for a few hours so you know that it is still on. The coffee is great and it's easy to use.

★★★★★ Just Your Regular Coffee Maker. A classic, easy to use coffee maker. Filling, brewing, and cleaning are simple for anyone to do.

★★★★★ Cheap workhorse. Bought this coffee maker for the office to save money from having to use a hundred K cups a week. Make about 3 pots of coffee a day and it does a great job. It does drip if you fill a cup up form the unit but that's if it's running which isn't a big deal. Great value for the money and can't beat how great it does in an office of 15 people!

★★★★☆ Awsome coffe maker. I bought it as a present for my mother. It works great, and gives you a nice brew. The one thing I dislike is sometime when it on and you pour water into it it spits out steam and gets coffe grains everywhere.

★★★★★ Broke Before Annual Warranty. I only used the Mr. Coffee unit for hot water, never coffee grounds. 3 months before Annual Product Warranty was over, it stopped working for no reason. The Mr. Coffee Warranty website, provided by Amazon, does not work for photos (required), nor are the numbers engraved on the plug (required), input into the Warranty site form, & one of them does not even exist, on the plug. They do give a phone number, so i'll be calling them tomorrow. The unit has always been excessively loud in processing cold water to hot water, so much so, as to be rather extremely distracting.

★★★★★ good product. I am a coffee drinker and this product is so easy to use and not too bulky and was for a good price!

★★★★★ Works great with a SmartPlug. This is a very basic coffee maker but I purchased it so that I can control it from my phone. I get up at different times of the day, so turning it on as I crawl out of bed allows me to have my first cup of coffee ready when I reach my kitchen. (not a morning person) My cat likes it too so I can focus on feeding her as I drink my coffee. This does not have a timer and/or automatic shutoff but can be controlled by the phone app per my smart plug. Most coffee makers with digital clocks, programmable will not work with a smart plug as it will just turn it on, clock setting, but not initiate the coffee to brew. Mr. Coffee has always been reliable and long lasting. Glad I purchased it

★☆☆☆☆ Plastic taste never went away. *** updated 1/16/2021***It’s been a few weeks. I tried one more time but the flavor is still there. Maybe it’ll go away but I had also purchased a pitcher that boils watet for tea and it’s great with a. French press we had that I forgot to use. This product I declare as junk for me and regret the purchase thus rating it a one star. I no longer have incentive to try again so it’s unlikely I’ll come back for another updated review.********I’m going to start this review off by talking about filters. There are cone filters and then there are flimsy filters. Until I went back to these flimsy filters, I never fully appreciated the cone filters and this will impact future machine purchases for me.Cone filters pack flat meaning storage is less invasive. The hood their shape and are less likely to spill and the won’t collapse when transferring to compost or garbage. It’s a little thing but I appreciate it.So, the point of all this, is that mr coffee uses the flimsy filters. Surprisingly there are a lot of machines that don’t use the cones, which is disappointing.First impressions:The plastic look and felt cheap. I saw reviews that commented about the cheapness of this machine and shrugged it off. Other machines are made of plastic after all. This plastic looks and feels somehow cheaper. I instantly had a negative association to it.The side windows which advertised visibility from both points was a selling point for me. What was failed to be mentioned is that you can’t read the clear numbers when contrasted against a black background or steam. I wrote the marks in with permanent marker to be able to see when filling.One feature I did like is that the spout moves out of the way and the lid snaps it back into place. Simple and elegant engineering. I would never clean these grounds out when hot though. Recipe for spilt grounds and burns.The prepIt requires a washing and a single run to remove the plastic flavor, per instructions. I ran 4 times after I washed and before the first use. The plastic smell seemed gone.The usageThe first cup seemed fine. Additional uses the plastic taste and smell crept in strongly. I ran a cleanse through it four more times and it’s still there rendering expensive coffee undrinkable.My wife felt like the first coffee had a weird flavor, so maybe I didn’t notice the first time? The fact we have flushed this so many times and the flavor persists is deeply concerning to me. I’ve owned a few coffee machines and never had this issue persist for so long. I’m going to keep trying and if something changes, I’ll update. I’d like this to be a good machine for me, but it’s not.The water heats quickly! This is a lot faster than my older coffee makers!The lighted switch is more subtle than I’d like. It’s a dot vs the entire switch, but in the end my wife and I turn it off after the last cup and it’s not an issue as we both stay at home now. There is no auto shut off.The drip stop works okay. A few drips will come out if you pull early, but it does stop while you pour a cup. A critical feature for my wife.The carafe pours well at an okay speed without dripping down the side. Some will leak if overly full and you have to pour slooooowly to avoid spillage. This seems better designed.This steams a lot and should not be under a cabinet when running. It WILL damage the cabinets. It’s easy to pull out and push back in.The summary:Would I purchase again? No. Even if the flavor fixes itself, I have concerns about the cheapness of this machine and the plastic used and the health impact. I couldn’t find anywhere that discussed if it was bpa free. I hadn’t been concerned because sunbeam owns me coffee, but after seeing and feeling the cheapness of the plastic, and with the plastic taste still present, I’m concerned.It is cheap, the functionality seems good for just a weeks ownership, but the lack of drinkable coffee is an issue. Even if that’s resolved, there’s concern in the back of my mind about the long term health impact of this machine.Hopefully this is helpful. I’d recommend spending more money as I feel I wasted $28 and will be purchasing a new coffee maker, again.

★★★★★ Funciona bien, está bonita.

★★★★★ Execelente producto. Cumple con lo que menciona, hemos buscando está marca en la ciudad en dónde vivimos y nadie la vende así que decidimos pedirla por internet y toda la familia está feliz con ella. Llegó incluso antes de lo esperado.

★☆☆☆☆ If it worked properly the coffee machine wouldn't be that bad. It is bulky, made of cheap plastic, unattractive, but it does the job for the most part. Condensation builds up on the underside of the cover which spills onto the counter every time you open it. There are no features, just an on and off switch, which you'd think is fine for the price but even other coffee makers at the same price have several features.That being said, the first one I got leaked from the bottom. Every time I made coffee there would be a pool of water on the counter. I asked for a replacement, which I got. This one worked for about a month and then the switch started coming loose, and then stopped working entirely. I asked reported the problem and they offered me yet another replacement, to which I was skeptical but accepted. Then after waiting for over a month I wrote back asking for a refund instead of a replacement, which they said they would do. Two more months went by without a refund so I ping them, now they're saying they want me to send in the last defective machine to get a refund.If you're looking for a cheap, straightforward coffee maker, get a different one. For $40 you expect something cheap and simple that will work, not to have to deal with awful customer service for months. Not only that but like I said, in the $40 price range there are better machines out there. I should also mention that the customer service was directly from Mr. Coffee, not Amazon.

★★★★★ Fácil de usar
