This is my second Ninja coffee maker and I’m just as impressed with this one as I was the first.  I passed up on the lesser expensive still brand name coffee makers and invested in the Ninja.  I know that it will last and wasn’t worried about paying a little more.  It is exactly what my family needed.  I love that you can toss in a Kcup if youre running late or brew a cup or whole pot.  It totally fits my families lifestyle and needs.  Its also great for entertaining.  Everyone loves coffee but in different way.  This way they can have hot, iced, and everything in between.  It was very easy for my elderly mother to be able to make her Kcup in the mornings.  Easy to see and easy to operate.  Love this machine!!
