Ninja CE251 Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Brewer with Glass Carafe, Black and Stainless Steel Finish

Roshi Marie: Great size. I love that the water tank, the permanent filter, filter basket and of course the carafe and lid are dishwasher safe. It brews in less than 5 minutes and a timer goes off when it's done. You can brew either classic or rich, I prefer rich. The timer option is excellent. I can fill the water tank and use the handy coffee scoop, that comes with the machine, to fill the basket with my fav coffee and set it to brew the next morning. I absolutely love this machine. It's easy to use & brews beautifully.

TX: I never spend so much on coffee makers and I usually go through 2 coffee makers a year. But what made me go with Ninja was the YouTube reviews and my personal coffee horror experience. I was so disgusted with the last brand I had, Mr.Coffee. I take care of my appliances and Mr.Coffee was used everyday with fresh bottled of water. I never used faucet water unless to clean the pot only. Always did required cleaning when machine requested it. I used half vinegar and half fresh bottle water. So, one day, my husband and I realized the coffee was tasting weird. So, I again cleaned it and make a 2 cup portion just to see if it happened again. Well, again it was just weird tasting. So, I decided to clean the inside of the coffee maker with napkins to see what was the problem and OMG, what came out was just green and black slimy something. I was so grossed out. I reached out to Mr.Coffee & they haven’t reached out to me. Machine went straight to the garbage! Since, I got the Ninja, coffee taste so delicious and fresh. And I love that I can literally see the water and have access to see inside the coffee maker. Lesson learned, invest in something good if you’re using it everyday. So...

Joyce Fletcher: I've only had this coffee maker a short while, so my opinion may change over time.
It's aesthetically pleasing and fits well on my counter top. The attached measuring spoon on the side is a unique idea. The carafe handle is comfortable in hand and I really like the locking lid.

I'd read that the clock functions on many coffee makers do not keep good time. This one has been extremely consistent for the several days that I've had it.

Easy to understand instruction booklet and easy to operate.

It does not brew coffee quite as hot nor quite as strong as my last coffee maker, even on the "rich" setting. I just use rounded instead of level scoops to achieve desired strength. Also, the warming plate does not keep the coffee in the carafe as hot as I'm used to. I'll just have to adjust to drinking faster. With a little user adjustment, it brews a very tasty pot of coffee.

I don't like the fact that it requires manual turn off. After brewing and the stay warm function ends, the machine is technically off, but it still requires you to push the "off" button. I'm accustomed to automatic "off", so it's just something to train myself to do.

I have not used...

howard: Makes a very good pot of coffee.

To be clear, we are not coffee snobs who weigh everything, roast our beans, or use a French press. However, we grind our own beans and are particular about their taste. For reference we buy Ethiopian and Sumatra Mandheling regularly. This coffee maker makes an excellent cup of coffee and that's what is important as far as we're concerned. We do have a couple of pour-over coffee makers and a thermal carafe for use with one of them. But unless one of us is making just one cup, the drip coffee maker gets the task.

Good features: quality build, removable tank, attached scoop, pre-infusion (bloom), adjustable hot plate timeout (see below), excellent coffee.

Not so good: Steam rises through top and can collect on underside of cabinet or lights that may be there. Venting could have been at the back of the unit to minimize contact with wood and electric components. The ability to change the time of the hot plate timeout should be in intervals of 5 or even single minutes instead of 15. The "cup" volume is 5 1/2 oz which is kind of odd. Most other coffee makers are either 5 or 6 oz. Although not really a negative, you need to be aware...

LUIS OROPEZA: Lo que más me gustó es que la capacidad de la jarra es de dos litros; es programable y cómoda de usar. Lo que menos me gustó es que la jarra se siente relativamente frágil, cómo todas las de este mecanismo

Sylvie: Belle cafetière 14 tasses. Simple et avec son réservoir amovible c'est toujours propre. Le mettre à rich pour un café plus goûteux. Elle tient le café bien au chaud.
Je la recommande .

David Rootham: I took awhile to figure out what coffee maker to buy, my old camping ss percolator was tough to let go lol. This rig makes a very smooth brew on all the settings I’ve tried. Big thumbs up 🇨🇦
