Ninja Coffee Bar® Glass Carafe System

So many bad reviews on this almost deterred me away from buying but with Free returns I decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did. First, mine included the reusable filter and spoon/scoop that many said their did not. My spoon WAS a different model spoon and did not fit in the holder on the side. I believe it's an older model spoon or scooper as it has different measurement icons on it. Looks VERY similar but by watching some videos on youtube I saw a little difference. Also, the picture shows the timer on the base, that was not the case for me. It has been relocated to the area where the size dial knob is. Mine does not leak, and it does not appear to be used at all. Was in excellent shape when I opened. It did not come in the original packaging. (not that I care) The tank is a good size, easy to fill, easy to clean. Speaking of cleaning (I have yet to get the clean light everyone speaks of and I make a cup or a half pot every day) I do use filtered water with this and all of my equipment as calcium buildup isn't good for any device that takes water. I believe this has helped my Keurig live a nice and happy life as well. Frother is good, not great. It does not heat. You must put any creamer in the microwave before frothing. This can get annoying after doing this for a few weeks. It does stow away nicely and cleans very easily at it detaches. Button on top is nice and user friendly too. The fold down single cup platform is sturdy and has rubber grips that make your cup feel very secure on the platform. All of the different size options are wonderful as well. The twist knob is hefty and does not feel cheap. XL cup is perfect for a 20oz yeti - leaves about 1/6 left of the cup left for any cream you'd like to add. Drip starts almost immediately for me. I don't leave mine on all day either. I've been very impressed with the speed and I choose "Rich" brew every time and it brews slower but still plenty fast for me. Summary, I think this is a great Coffee system. I like that with the number of scoops I decide I can have a single cup, half craft, or full.
