This coffee maker quite literally makes the best coffee I have ever had.  There are four styles of coffee that this coffee maker can make: classic, rich, iced, and K cup pods.  I get most of my use out of it with classic and rich modes.  The rich mode makes coffee the smoothest cup of coffee I have ever had. You can choose exactly how much coffee you want to make - a single cup all the way up to a whole pot of coffee. Some people have had trouble with coffee with the Ninja coffee system: read the titles of the different Ninja products carefully - some are coffee systems for making things like cappuccino and espresso and mochas while others like this coffee maker are for only making coffee!  Also, if you buy this coffee maker (and you should) choose a high quality coffee to make coffee with; something like Peet’s brand Italian Roast or Starbucks brand of coffee.  I use Peet’s Italian Roast ground coffee on the rich mode - smoothest cup of coffee I have ever had.
