This is my 1st time owning a Ninja brand coffee maker and I’m very happy with it. Slick design and easy to operate. I can choose to brew one cup of coffee or a whole carafe depending on the need. I love that it includes a gold toned permanent filter along with a coffee scoop. It eliminates the need to constantly having to buy filters. We drink coffee like our lives depend on it in our household. I especially love the feature of being able to choose between a classic brew or stronger strength since we all have different taste preferences. The programmable delay brew feature makes it a welcoming morning to wake up to when I smell that coffee brewing. I highly recommend this Ninja 12 cup programmable coffee maker!
