I’ve had a Keurig now for 13 years but every time I got one of the “fancy” models, it wouldn’t last. So we heard about the Ninja brewer and decided to dive in. I’ve loved it and so has my husband. Consistently a great cup of coffee whether by the cup or by the pot. The Specialty feature is nice to have as well and works like a charm. Plus...less money spent on over priced “specialty” drinks at SB which have declined in quality anyway. The only reason for the 4 stars is the machine stopped making a hot cup just under a year of owning. The company was fantastic about sending a replacement though. Yay!
