I really appreciate this review. All the details are helpful. I received the same model yesterday as a Christmas gift. My daughter in-law has had the same model for quite a while and she loves it so they bought me this Christmas. It is good looking, quiet, and I love the ease of the lift and grip of the reservoir. You have to feel it for yourself to know. They designed it well. I am brewing my first programmable small batch for tomorrow. I will update with the results. Thanks again for a great unboxing review.

Thank you. I didn’t know how to keep it hot or delay brew. Now I know🎉

I always use the filter basket as well as a paper filter, so you won't have to be concerned about the coffee getting to high in the basket. This was a great video. Thank you for sharing.

I just found you and I cannot say this enough how much I appreciate your time and work this really helped us find the right one for our specific space and requirements. Just THANK YOU!!!

This was the first video that gave me a sense of how loud/quiet the coffeemaker is. It seems quiet, much quieter than my Hamilton Beach.

Just got this same pot and I love it. My daughter has one that she loves and recommended this when my other coffee pot failed.

This is an EXCELLENT well informed review. Thank you. I have the one that comes with the reusable filter (which I never use). I have had it for almost 1 full year, and it has not disappointed. I don’t really have any issues with coffee grounds sneaking into my coffee. That said, I have never made a 12 cup serving. It is very quiet. It makes very good coffee. Overall, I really like it for a budget-friendly everyday coffee maker.

Bought this last week, we love it so far!

Thank you once again just a dad for another great video and coffee maker review.❤

My husband bought this for me for christmas and I love it so far! You can set a timer for when you want it to Brew🤗😂😂🙏🏾dopeness

Thank you, this was helpful!!

Thanks for posting. The coffee grounds get too high because there is too much coffee (12 tablespoons per 12 cups...way to strong) and the water and the large quantity of coffee turns it to mud, therefore the water takes a long time to saturate the coffee grounds.

Great Video, you helped me decide.

Just brought this pot last week when my Cuisinart started leaking after 6yrs of service. So I went in best buy. And I narrowed it down to this and the Kurig k duo. Like the concept of the kurig because of the option of one cup pod. Or multiple cup carife. But their was three deciding factors 1) I had kurig years ago and frankly wasn't impressed. 2) I have a ninja blender and a ninja air fryer. And I'm very impressed with their products. 3) the deciding factor was the stay hot technology claim on the back. I hate brewing coffee and having to nuke it for 20 seconds after to get it piping hot. So now one week later and this pot has not dissapointed. Makes a nice flavourful cup. I love the classic and rich brewing options. Love the timer.. OH AND THE STAY HOT CLAIM IS AS ADVERTISED COFFEE COMES OUT PIPING HOT. AND PIPING HOT EVEN AFTER I ADD LIQUID CREAMER. AND STAYS HOT ON THE PLATE WITHOUT SCORCHING. So with that said im giving this a 5 out of 5 stars 🌟 love this product. Ninja has not let me down yet.

Just bought this. Great review

I just bought this yesterday bc my Mr. Coffee coffee makers keep dying. (I've been through 3 in a year) and I was honestly surprised at the different taste of my coffee (I buy whole bean from a roaster in Albuquerque). I hope it lasts longer than the MrC makers, bc it makes really tasty coffee!!

I bought the CE200 model at Wal-Mart in October 2019 to replace my Gevalia coffee maker which finally died after many years of reliable service. I liked the Ninja reservoir because I could leave the carafe in place under the basket. It worked flawlessly until today, 7/4/2021. Water won't feed into the heating tank, and the brew button pulses like it's waiting for the water to flow. The warmer plate isn't heating, but I suspect that's because the the brewer isn't brewing. The 'clean' button has never come on, but I only brew a couple of pots a week, unless I'm on vacation, when it gats daily use. Can't say I would recommend this unit to anyone. Certainly not after 21 months. Of course it's out of warranty too.

Glad I found this. I just ordered the 251 & this video was really helpful. One of the common concerns in reviews I read was about the water reservoir & I didn't understand what the problem was. You cleared that up for me: you only put in the reservoir the amount of water you are going to use for the current batch. I think people were trying to use it like a Keurig reservoir & expecting the water to be there over several brews until all the water was gone. I would have thought the same. I still like the idea of a reservoir over pouring into the back but... it's kind of the same as with a regular coffeemaker in that I will have to measure the water each time. The thing is, one reviewer suggested not removing the reservoir to fill each time (just bring the water to it) because the seal gets weak over time and will start to leak (another reviewer complaint). I was watching with interest as you handled the carafe because I hear that it's fragile on the 251. Is it the same for this one? The other thing I am worried about is how big this machine could be on the counter. The height doesn't bother me because I have a spot with no cabinet overhead but I hated the size of the old Keurig Classic because it took up so much space on the counter. I got used to a slimmer electric Presto percolator but it had short plug issues, cooked any coffee left in it, and got so hot that I literally burned my hand. Really hoping the 251 works out. I am tired of searching for something that makes at least decent-tasting coffee and doesn't cost a fortune.

Update! After watching your video, all I needed to do was lock the carafe lid,, excellent coffee!

Thank you so much for the detailed video. I got this coffeemaker for xmas and im trying to use it first with the water and it looks like there were were some water deposit left in the reservoir, wonder what i did wrong? 🤔🤔

How does this compare to a French press on taste? If anyone knows by chance. My automatic expresso machine broke and I've been using a French press since I didn't have any extra money. I go through 3 lb bag in 2-3 weeks. I like it strong but just curious I'm about to buy one.

Please help! I have owned this for 18 months and I descaled it then 3 days later it will not brew. The lights come on but nothing happens no beeps or anything. It looks like the brew light goes dim and gets brighter. Did this happen to anyone? I unplugged it for a while day hoping to reset it but nothing has worked. There are tamper proof screws on the bottom of the machine. I purchased at Walmart. Thank you

I have a question. My carafe lid just won't seat properly and I struggle to push the carafe into the Ninja coffee maker every time. (Yes I press the lid down then turn it to lock in place.) You seemed to have less trouble with that? Did you have difficulty getting the lid snug? I'm wondering if my carafe lid is faulty. Very helpful video. Thank you.

Excellent review as always. I am wondering how this unit compares against the Cuisinart 3200. I’m trying to decide between this Ninja and that unit. Hot brewing temp and flavor are two most important features for me. I’ve seen you compare the Ninja against the older Cuisinart 1200 model but not a comparison against the 3200.

Hi there, I recently bought the same coffee maker but it didn’t come with a permanent reusable filter. What is the perfect size and model filter to order from amazon? What would you recommend?

Just a Dad, please do a review on the newer Bunn Program N Brew 10 cup. There is no heat tank on all day, its a regular coffee pot apparatus like all the others. And its cool looking too. Wondering if it works as good. They made one to compete with the regular coffee pot processors (Non commercial)

does it have a auto shot off feature?

I had the older version of this one that did different sizes.we loved it but we got an error code after a year and a half . Anybody that has this version can verify it's longevity?

I love the look of it! Was the coffee as good as Wal-Mart's 12 cup coffee maker or better?

Best coffee maker reviews! Hey Dad, how does the taste compare to the mocca master or bun?

My is super loud and have no idea why. I got it just last week.

Is it possible to disable the beeping tone (or muffle it) when the brewing cycle is completed? That may definitely be a deal breaker for me regardless how tasty the coffee is.

Hi All, I bought the CE251; love it. But I get five beeps when brewing to 10 cups but I don’t when I brew to 12 cups. This is suppose to be adjustable cups, but clearly it wants me to drink 12 cups :/ …. Any idea on how to stop the beeps or have me drink 8 or 10 cups? Thanks!!

Just bought this. It is so loud when brewing. The swishing sound of the water pausing and brewing pushing the water out on the grounds. We only brew 4 cups at a time. And frankly I’m glad when it’s done. You said yours was quiet until the end. Does anyone else have a loud one?

Get two and both times stop working . Brew button fades in and out . So one time ok it’s a glitch but two times more than a glitch and same person

I just got mine yesterday, I can't get it to turn on. Sure would like a cup of coffee

Good detail. What's the wattage of this unit?

Can you please link the reusable no 4 filter ?Thank you! !

I start using my coffee maker today and I hear a loud noise like "Tik" every minute! Is it normal?

how does the coffee taste from the ninja compared to the bunn and the moccamaster? that's the most important test for me when deciding which to buy. thanks.

Please tell me you can turn off that beep. Please. I just bought one. I HATE HATE beeps.

It says on amazon, Included Components: Permanent Filter. what does this mean ! you said it doesn't have one !

i just ordered this. and he goes and says he bought his at walmart for 70, and then he goes and says click that amazon link, no way buddy. I literally just paid 89+tax from there when retail is better price. I was gonna compliment you on how your woman does a great job keeping the kitchen clean but now I realize you saving so much money not from buying online you can afford maid services !!

Off Its automatíc?

I watched the video and purchased the maker, will be returning it soon being you can’t set it to make one cup of coffee. For me to make one cup of coffee I must pre-measure the water for the cup size and I have to use the carafe aka glass pot. Doing this three times a day means I would end up wasting a lot of water and time rinsing the pot for my three cups of coffee. To read the settings on the front I had to get eye level being the print is very small. One more thing, what they call a cup of coffee will only fill my cup halfway. ;-)

... and then he says it doesn't come with removable filter. i could have sworn i saw it with a picture. now i gotta spend more on this 89 crap that hasn't arrived yet that costs 70 at walmart for a filter !!

I know we are friends, but I would NEVER buy any Ninja product. That guy who does their infomercials is so offensive that I am completely turned off to their products.
