We have lots of Ninja products in our kitchen.  We purchased this coffee maker because we wanted to brew larger pots of coffee.  After 4 months of use, I'm throwing it in the garbage and returning to our Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker (glad I kept it).  We pre-make our coffee each night with the delayed-brew function.  More often than not, we wake up to find that the reservoir has leaked all over the counter in the middle of the night.  Additionally, the carafe's design is flawed.  It will not pour cleanly, rather it "dribbles" all over itself, making even more mess.
