Ninja XL 14-Cup Coffee Maker – Smart Programmable Pro Design

My workplace recently ended our free beverage benefit, so I decided to start bringing my own. We needed a bigger coffee maker. Having had Ninja before, we were familiar with the brand. This one fit our needs perfectly, and has lived up to the Ninja name so far. Super easy to use, quiet, and customizable coffee brews. It's just big enough for our needs, and looks great also. Easy to clean with the removable water tank and coffee filter housing. No drips or leaks like others have mentioned, but the temp is a bit high. Overall great coffee maker.

It's a nice coffee maker. Love the features. Makes great coffee. My only complaint is, I would like it if it stayed on longer than 2 hours. 14 cups is a plus.

Absolutely love this coffee pot. It is so simple to use and easy to clean. The timer is great so I can prep the water and grounds the night before and easily set it to start before I wake up. I would absolutely purchase again!

I am very disappointed with this coffee maker. I have had this machine less than 2 years when it started to leak through the bottom of the water reservoir at the spring (the cheapest part of a machine). There is no way to replace just the spring and you have to purchase the whole reservoir. The warranty period is very short for this coffee maker and they don't make exceptions for their weak parts. The Ninja pro does make a decent cup of Joe, but I cannot afford a water leak. A replacement reservoir would cost a half of the price that I paid or the maker I was told when I called Ninja/Shark customer support. Ninja has engineered timed obsolescence of their products perfectly. Do not buy this coffee maker.

My husband and I got rid of our Keurig and decided on this during Prime Day sales. I will never go back. No need for coffee filters. Fits great on our counter without taking up much space. I can make 14 cups and leave it warm all day if I want. Great for our family!

Did someone say it makes HOT coffee? Watch out for that first sip if you're not used to HOT coffee! I've had 4 similar Brand X (starts with "C" and doesn't make HOT coffee) with which I've been perfectly happy the first two years of use after which they decide to inconveniently dump their water all over the counter, down your cabinets and onto the floor - sometimes mentioned in their reviews. Not a particularly happy thing to find at 5am let alone no coffee either. After my post mortem analysis, I find this is due to a long-standing design/materials/assembly application issue negatively effecting Brand X's reliability (not be confused with their quality which is OK). To be fair, Brand X pot #4 was a slightly more robust version of this product line and did not do this waterfall thing - but it did stop making coffee properly at 16 months old (and it was more expensive). Plus, it's impossible to not drip from Brand X's carafes. So, I've put the past brand-loyalty behind me and moved on to Ninja to see how it does ( I have a Ninja blender which is fine). Anyway, so far so good. I like the consistently non-dripping carafe better (if you pour from it correctly) as well as the water filling process (which some folks don't like). Coffee output seems no different than Brand X's other than being cooler but it does require a tad more coffee/less water to match the bold/rich setting of Brand X's. At this point I can't speak to reliability (lifetime), of course, but we'll just have to wait and see about that. Quality is good. Controls are good. Footprint is good. Price is good. (Edit a few weeks later: If you prefer your skin being intact between your thumb and wrist , watch out for the carafe's internal tabs that grasp the lid. They bite if you reach inside and rotate your hand to wash or dry. Ask me how I know... OTOH, still liking this Ninja over Brand X!)

The carafe absolutely does NOT drip, maybe I was lucky but I just did not have that problem like a lot if reviews say. it's such a breeze to use the machine and carafe. Makes delicious coffee. Looks sleek and beautiful. My only two complaints which are not bad enough to took a star were: you can't put the water in tank all the way because it uses all during one brew so you have to pour required amount for 1-4 cup (ify you want 2 cups fill it up to 2 cups line, if you want 4, fill it up to 4 line)or it does not stop by itself after it fills to your desired amount. Second we are two person household and the carafe is too large for both of us and you cannot use any other container. But i love the carafe and cleaning is easy so that's okay. Edit: 3 months and going strong! This product honestly deserves at least 4.5 stars, the taste of coffee is awesome and more delicious than any other machines I have tried, cleaning is still a breeze, and carafe still absolutely does NOT drip or leak when pouring or standing. I just love my beautiful machine and recommend to everyone! Almost a year edit: I still love my machine! Same quality, still no dripping! I don't use it often lately because been craving more espresso than filter coffee, and prefer cold brew but it's always there waiting for me ready to serve!

I bought the Ninja coffee maker for the programmable feature. It really makes good, hot coffee and is easy to program. I got the 14 cup size since we make a pot every morning and pour it into a thermal carafe to drink throughout the day where it stays very hot. It is easy to make less if desired but nice to have the option for more. It looks great on my counter, does not take up too much space and can be pushed under the cabinets after brewing. I brew it on the rich cycle which makes a delicious and smooth cup of rich coffee, not at all bitter. I have found that I can use less coffee, six level scoops for twelve cups, than in our previous coffee maker, saving us money. The included attached scoop is very handy. I drink my coffee black and I do not like weak coffee so I am very happy with this ratio. The sprayer head evenly moistens the grounds so there aren't any dry spots in the basket. The higher temperature really extracts the most flavor from the beans. I program it at night so I do not have to wait for the coffee to be made. I do use the paper filters rather than the included gold filter, personal preference, since our coffee is finely ground and I do not want any bits of coffee in my mug. I haven't even tried the gold filter, so it may work perfectly. I plan to clean it monthly since we are using good well water rather than filtered water, which is recommended. The cleaning process is simple and it has a cleaning cycle. I use white vinegar as recommended. Daily I rinse out the carafe, filter basket and water container and leave them upside down to drain which another reviewer recommended. I want to take good care of this machine since we value good coffee. I did get the 4 year warranty since I know coffee makers don't last too long. Hopefully this Ninja will hold up!

Coffee makers of a size for large families are hard to come by, so I was excited to find this item. However, as soon as we made our first pot, a few design flaws became apparent. I will say that I loved the removeable tank for the water - that was genius - no more trying to pour water from a carafe into a little tank while un-caffeinated in the morning. However, that leads to the first issue. There is a "catcher" where the tank is seated into the coffeemaker that fills completely and then overflows with every single pot. I've done some research online and this is a common issue that folks have. I am considering returning it for this major design flaw because the reason I got rid of my last coffeemaker is that it developed a leak and my counter was constantly wet. (see picture) Second, there is literally zero way to silence the beep when the coffee is done. My partner gets up at 4am to go to work. I do not. But I get up at 4:10 every morning now because the coffeemaker wakens me to the irritating sound of "hey I'm done with your coffee". I do not need to know this and neither does my partner. We are both assuming that the coffee will be done after some period of time after we start the confounded machine. We do not need an alert to let us know. After an exhaustive search online, I found one dude who literally performed surgery on his coffeemaker to remove the buzzer from the inside of the coffeemaker. Well, if I do that, I cannot return it. Ninja, I hope you're listening to the pleas of your customers. It took one google search to find hundreds of reddits, reviews, etc on BestBuy, Amazon, etc. to fix this buzzer issue. It's as simple as a button push on most makers.

My previous coffee maker, diff brand, started leaking bad after 5 years so this is my replacement. This coffee maker is good looking & 14 cup like my last. This is much easier to program. I like there are no hidden extra filters to replace. It did not leak when pouring. Warmer kept the coffee a decent temperature. The gold filter is a must, who wants to keep buying coffee filters? Makes a strong brew. I removed a star because the cord is too short, way shorter than my last one so I had to move it to a spot less desirable to reach the outlet. I also don’t love the plastic around the top of the carafe but see why it’s there. Hopefully this lasts longer than my last one. I have a spare (diff brand) that’s still kicking after almost 15 years. Overall very happy with the purchase & the low sale price :) also love the top of the carafe is completely removable & makes it easy to clean.
