Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this product because I saw the infomercial one morning and couldn't believe that one coffee maker could do everything it says it can do with high quality and one machine. I figured I would buy it, try it, and return it... no loss to me and I wouldn't spend months wondering about this thing. Guess what? I was wrong! My first test was to try to get rid of the kcup machine, so I made a classic brewed single cup made from preground beans. Let's face it, the kcup is all about convenience and not about quality of coffee. But the Ninja Coffee Bar was just as easy to use as a kcup machine, made a high quality single cup of coffee, and I can use any beans I want. No more of those awful and expensive plastic cups! Next up, I tried a carafe of rich brew using the same beans. The quality of the coffee was amazing - deep and rich. Some reviews complain about over-extraction of the beans resulting in a bitter brew, but I did not notice this at all. By now, I was pretty convinced. But there was one last test to try - iced coffee. This has been mission impossible for me for years. No matter what beans and brewing method I tried, I could not make a good cup of iced coffee at home. The Ninja Coffee Bar changed this for me. I used the exact same beans that I used for the hot coffee, and it was delicious! Even better than I buy at coffee shops. It is a dream come true to me. So by this time I was convinced. The kcup was sent off to my son at college, the drip machine was donated to another family member, and the french press went into storage. This machine has effectively replaced three other coffee machines, and does them all as well or better and includes an upgrade to brewing high quality iced coffee. I am extremely impressed and do not regret this purchase at all! I have not tried the concentrate setting as I have an espresso machine that I love and will not give up. However, if the Ninja Coffee Bar outlasts the espresso machine, I will try that setting instead of immediately rushing out to buy a new espresso machine. You might be tempted to disregard this review as it is SO glowing and the purchase is not verified. I purchased at a different online retailer as Amazon was out of stock, and I did pay full price as opposed to getting a discount to review the product. I am really, honestly just THIS sold on this machine. The only con I can think of is that I can see how it would be annoying (or easy to forget) to have to move the switch in order to pour a cup while a carafe is still brewing, but I haven't done this yet. If you love coffee, try this machine! I do not think you will regret it.
