I bought this coffee maker because I really liked my daughter's 12 cup maker and my niece's cold brew station. 
I really love my coffee maker. It makes a great tasting cup of coffee.
The carafe, on the other hand, is garbage. You CAN NOT pour a cup of coffee from this coffee pot without it splattering all over the counter and floor. I have to pour my coffee over the sink to avoid having to wash the floor. It SUCKS!!!
This may keep me from buying another Ninja maker. 
I have read many reviews and this issue with this carafe on this maker is very common.
