10/10 ..Very happy with the many options. Tested it first with a cup of coffee, classic brew. It gave me a full mug of approximately 9oz (more than what the guide says) so i had enough for 2 cups with milk. I then moved to the frother...while I was using it I was disappointed as I was not seeing it 'froth' after the alloted time I gave up and said oh well. However to my surprise when I poured it out I had nice thick froth, some of the froth lasted even after I had finished the coffee. So now I have to learn how to do the fancy designs. The brew time is short. If you do a cup and like it hot you will have to microwave it. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Let's talk design: I thought it would be huge but it compact and fit nicely in the space of its hamiltonbeach predecessor, it however needs a little more wiggle room because of the frother and you have to remove the water container. So overall it is well designed... the only drawback is I would have preferred being able to keep the frother going by itself instead of me holding the button (unless Im the one doing it wrong). It is very easy to use and im glad they provided a recipe book for coffee and teas.

I came so close to not purchasing this coffee maker due to some negative reviews. Usually if I see a long dramatic story I know the person is a negative dramatic person.I’m so glad I bought this ninja. Love everything about it. Love a good HOT cup of coffee and it does just that. Love the carafe. Keeps coffee hot. Have not tried making tea but I’m certain it will do great. I will say I made my first iced coffee and it tasted so good. Just like a coffee shop coffee. I’ll say it’s not as fast as my Kuerig was but that’s why the coffee is so rich. It’s a slow brew. We are having to adjust the amount of coffee we use so it won’t be so strong which will save money on coffee. I love that you can use the filter included with the machine to make a single cup or a full carafe.

Coffee and Tea Back to Back:So... a lot of times when you hear about coffee makers that also make tea, all I think about is the awful taste of having coffee grounds in your tea >_<. Tea is often an afterthought for a lot of manufacturers. That's not the case with this machine.They really thought this design through and I am able to use it for both coffee and tea back to back without any extensive cleaning. The trick? The entire brewing basket comes off and they have two separate brewing baskets, one for coffee and one for tea. At no point will the water will touch any component that has touched any coffee grounds when you have the tea basket in, and vice versa. I've seriously made a cup of tea immediately after my husband brewed a cup of coffee without having to clean or even rinse anything. I just swapped the baskets.Tea Basket:So, one thing I will say is that the tea basket is a pain in the ass to clean when brewing loose leaf tea. There's a filter that clips into the bottom to prevent tea leaves getting into your cup, but it doesn't do that great of a job at keeping the leaves out. Granted, I've been brewing maté that's been cut very fine so that is definitely a factor. I'm sure if you were brewing green tea or earl grey, it'd be fine.The other problem is that the brew basket does fill most of the way up, and the tea will tend to float up with it, then stick to the sides when it drains. This is what makes it hard to clean. They don't really concentrate on the bottom (again, this also may be more pronounced with the maté) so you really have to clean the whole thing, and dumping the tea can be difficult.However, I did come up with a great solution that fixes all of this. I just remove the filter at the bottom and use my old tea infuser in the basket. This solves all of these problems completely. No mess and no leaves in my cup. I just dump the tea from the infuser straight in the trash when done and then rinse the infuser and basket. Way, way easier to clean and it's how I recommend brewing cups of tea in this machine. If you're brewing a half carafe or a full carafe, then the cleaning hassle would be worth it for that large quantity.Coffee:We bought this machine after a lot of research when our Keurig broke. We were done having to buy pods. I We definitely didn't feel good about the amount of plastic we kept having to throw away (we don't have recycling where I live) and it's also much more expensive. However, I don't think, with the cost of this brewer, we're going to make up the cost of pods anytime soon.It brews a great cup of coffee, though. We found that the reuseable filter it came with doesn't do a good job, so we switched to unbleached paper filters instead and we have been able to reproduce the consistency and flavor that we liked from our K-cups with it. My husband drinks his coffee black, no sugar, and very much enjoys the flavor of the coffee now with the paper filters. For the record, we were a big fan of the Dunkin' Original, medium roast k-cups and are using the same brand and flavor ground coffee from a bag.The paper filters also make it easier to clean. Just throw the filter out and rinse the basket. It's only slightly more inconvenient than using a pod because we have to scoop out our own coffee, but even then, the included scoop makes that super convenient as well.Features:This machine has a ton of great features. I've used all but the cold brew feature with both tea and coffee and it works great. Want an iced tea? You can have it in minutes. Same with iced coffee. It's really simple to use and everything works as advertised. We bought the version with the thermal carafe because we're not big fans of how coffee tastes when it's been sitting on a burner for a while and the thermal carafe does a great job at keeping the coffee warm for a while.Overall:I highly recommend this brewer. I find it worth the $200 we paid for it and its been a huge upgrade to our mornings.

Love this product I wish the lid on the reservoir container was built better don't like the quality comes off easy and it's already had a piece come off on the flap I would have liked to see the quality better on this item on the machine

I carefully read other reviews and was frankly concerned about the number of individuals who had issues with water leaking from the water reservoir. I am happy to say we have had no issues whatsoever after a few months and just love it! It's great to be able to make a cup or coffee in a couple of sizes plus half a pot or full pot. The stainless coffee carafe keeps coffee hot for a couple of hours. We usually only drink coffee in the morning and not always at the same time. Haven't made tea yet nor used the frothier. Highly recommend this product.
