Purchased to replace my older Ninja Coffee Bar that started leaking. Wish I had listened to my instincts and kept looking when I saw almost all of the 5 star reviews were from people who received free product. Machine is noisy. Coffee is not as hot and doesn’t taste the same as my old Coffee Bar machine. Continually have grounds in my coffee, even after trying multiple grinds. Have not used pods/pod adapter. Permanent filter is a pain to clean-can’t just dump into garbage because grounds stick and it needs to be washed every time, sending grounds down the drain, which probably isn’t good for my septic system. Machine height necessitates pulling it out from under counter to add/remove grounds-not a deal breaker, but all things considered, very disappointed in this machine. I like the various brew options-got hooked on those with the Coffee Bar, but that isn’t enough to redeem this machine. It will be my interim machine until I find something comparable with better quality.
