Specialty Drip Coffee Maker | DualBrew™ Pro Specialty Coffee Machine w/Frother, Permanent Filter | Brew w/Pods & Grounds, K Cups Compatible | 4 Brew Styles, 13 Cup to Pot Sizes | Black CFP307

I have a love/hate relationship with Ninja products - I really love them. But I strongly dislike the warranty. And I hate the lifespan. Once they are done - they're done. I have had a couple of Ninja blenders that surpass the crushing and blending power of my 30 year old beehive Oster - but their life expectancy is about five years. This was a very strong consideration in purchasing a $200 coffee maker. I am not a coffee connoisseur - I typically drink one cup daily - very strong with cream only. But it has to be a perfect cup. I want to enjoy every single sip. I found a Ninja coffee system, brand new, at a thrift store locally for $15. The coffee was amazing. Perfect every single time. When my son moved to his own place, I gifted it to him and started researching one for me. Since I am the only coffee drinker in the house now (no, I'm not crying because he's gone, don't be silly) I considered a Keurig. But I honestly do not like the quality of the coffee from those machines - have tried several but it is not at all to my liking. However, the amount of wasted coffee I was dealing with really started bothering me and decided I needed an option for one cup. This machine is really perfect. The one cup option that I thought I settled for because it is a K cup option turned out to produce an amazing cup of coffee. I THINK it is because the Ninja makes three holes into the K cup rather than the standard one hole other machines use? It may also be the water temperature gets super hot. I do not know, but I really appreciate the depth of flavor from the K cup option on this machine. Another nice option that I never thought I'd want is the frother. It seems silly to me, but one comment in the Ninja manual stated that a cold cup with cream steals the heat from the coffee and changes the flavor - so I toyed around with the frother, using the microwave for 30 seconds and then blending the coffee and cream - its fantastic. This week I had a fever and opted for tea over coffee - I remembered the hot water option on this machine - it gave me two options - hot water and boil - I selected boil and my tea was steeping in no time at the perfect temperature. I absolutely appreciate that the water runs through a separate dispenser so my tea did not have any coffee residue or discoloration or flavor. I plan now to retire my stand alone boiler. The reservoir on the Ninja is adequate for my one cup daily - it is very easy to remove and fill or even fill while in place - I prefer the side option, but like that it can be attached to the back to save space. I don't think that would make much difference because this machine is very big - it does not fit under my standard cabinets. I bought this as a birthday gift for myself and if that last son hadn't left at the same time, I likely wouldn't have spent that much money on myself - but I was pitiful. I am extremely happy I did because the cost is worth it. I am very hopeful this machine will last past my 5 year expectation. Since I do not purchase coffee daily, I cannot state that I have saved money - I mean, I have because I'm not making half pots just for myself and wasting most of that - but if I were a coffee shop customer, I would absolutely think I'd save money with the frother thing and the quality of the coffee - It is really a great machine and I very highly recommend you purchase it. I was debating between the Keurig Duo Pro and this machine and given the quality of the K cup coffee from this, I haven't once looked back - there is no way in my mind the Keurig would produce the same quality cup from the K cups. Enjoy

Just got this product and I am so impressed. Got this to replace another, expensive, well-known brand, combo coffee maker. The Ninja is about the same price but is so much better in so many ways. First, it takes up only 7” of counter space width-wise under my cabinets. That is remarkable for a combo coffee maker and it is a credit to the superior design. My former coffee maker took up twice that amount of space. Full disclosure, as you can see in the second photo I posted, the 7” max width is because I positioned the water reservoir on the back of the unit vs on the right side of the unit. You have the option of setting it up either way. Out of the box the reservoir was on the side. Very easy to switch but take a minute to read the quick setup instructions. The next big enhancement relative to my former, brand name maker is that the reservoir for brewing a full pot of coffee is the same one as for brewing k-cups and is super easy to fill. My old one required a contortionist to angle water to fill the reservoir when you wanted to brew a pot vs a cup of coffee. Filling it almost always resulted in water all over the counter. After just one day of use, the third great feature of this Ninja over my former brand name appliance is that there is a separate water line running from the main reservoir to the brewing unit for when you just want to fill a cup with hot water for tea or hot cider or hot chocolate. This means you do not risk degrading your alternative drink with coffee residue. I have not used the milk frother which is tucked neatly into the side of the unit but look forward to giving it a try. So cleverly designed it takes a little while to figure it out if you are used to the typical clunky designs on most combo units. I noticed some reviews indicating the unit did not function very well with k-cups but I do not understand that at all. We already brewed several non-Keurig brand k-cups and the unit worked seamlessly and brewed great cups of coffee. Hoping this unit will continue to perform well as the design is fantastic. I have a very large kitchen but no one wants to waste valuable counter space.

Dec 2023 update. I have this same model at work for the coffee kcup drinkers. I accidentally ordered a box of green tea kcups instead of pods. One day, I wasn't feeling well and broke out a tea kcup to throw in the machine. I didn't rinse off the pieces first. To my happiness, my tea didn't taste at all like coffee. Didn't have grounds in it either. So, there's that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my 2nd ninja coffee maker. As long as they keep innovating their products, I will be a dedicated fan. I had my first Ninja for 3 years before it started to leak. I had taken for granted how easy the Ninja made my morning routine, so I bought a different brand as a replacement that looked "fine". It was fine, but was more involved than I wanted it to be. And I missed my Ninja. Also, when I found out that Ninja has a separate line for hot/boiling water, I became obsessed with getting my hands on it. PROS: Convenient water reservoir - 60 oz - that can be moved to the back from the side, if that suits your set up. Easy reservoir to remove, fill, and return to the base. Or, fill with a pitcher. Delay start - I mean, who doesn't like to have their coffee waiting for them. SEPARATE HOT/BOILING WATER DISPENSER for tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, instant soups, etc. This is an amazing option to have available!! No tea drinker likes using the coffee maker for their tea. This is a total game changer. Coffee pod adapter - if you like to use pods, you have that option. And it is easy to use and easy to clean. [I bought this same machine for my office lunchroom. It meets everybody's needs. The tea drinker gets his tea, everybody gets to choose their favorite coffee pod, and everyone gets to choose the strength of coffee they want. We stored the carafe, as we aren't likely to use it much there.] Cone shaped permanent filter, with option to add a paper filter (size 2 fits perfectly; size 4 fits, but needs to be squished down) if you prefer. Loose grounds really make the best coffee. Wide range of coffee sizes to choose from (unless you use pods, and then you are limited, probably bc it doesn't make sense to make 20 oz of coffee with a pod) Open/close manual feature. If you are waiting for the pot to fill and need to sneak a cup, I really like that there is a slide knob to manually move from right to left, AND it shows you on the display panel if it is open or closed. Built in coffee scoop. I can never find mine for some reason. The fact that this one has a storage spot on the machine makes my mornings super easy. Frother. It doesn't heat your milk, but it is fun to use. It is attached to the machine, and pulls in and out for easy use. It lies flush when stored. The frother part is easy to remove for easy cleaning. A really fun bonus. Sometimes I froth my creamer before adding it, cold even, and it's just a little different treat. The control panel is intuitive and easy to use to select your favorite options. It didn't take a lot of thought to make an assortment of coffee styles. I love that. Cleaning feature for descaling. Personally, I prefer having this option than not. You can use vinegar or coffee descaler. Cup platform. Also attached to the machine, and flips up and out of the way when not in use. Perfection. Smart hot plate. The user manual says this isn't available on all models, but it is included on mine. (Possibly not on the models with thermal carafe?) This it's my second newest favorite feature. Small size cups of coffee do not turn on the hot plate, but half carafe or larger does (you also have the option of manually turning the hot plate on to keep a cup of coffee warm). So, I can use any travel mug with this machine and make almost limitless sizes that I want. The machine tells you how many ounces and the quick start guide tells you how many of their scoops to use, from individual cups all the way to a full carafe. *****There is little-to-no thinking involved******. Which leads to my next favorite feature. The footprint is fairly small, given all the features. The Ninja machine at work is set up for daily pod use. My machine at home is set up for grounds in a filter. Changing back and forth isn't that hard, but being able to use the machine the way I want to without changing it, is absolute perfection. Granted, I am the only person at my home using this machine, but adding the pod adapter isn't hard at all. The Ninja pod adapter is the only thing you have to change to use a pod. The top cover slides back, and you drop in the adapter and slide it forward to lock it in. To go back to filter, you push the adapter backward to unlock the adapter, pop it out, put the permanent filter back in, and slide the cover forward. That's it. Cons I had a little struggle at set up with both office and home machines understanding how the cover and adapter worked together and getting them to operate smoothly. This was totally fixable by a thorough reading of the instructions, but once I got it, I got it, and I feel silly that it took me a minute. Maybe bc the feature is totally different than any other coffee maker. The user manual says that reusable pod filters are not compatible. However, it is easy to use the permanent filter, even for small cups of coffee, that this shouldn't be a deal breaker. SUMMARY The build is solid, intuitive, and multifunctional with very little thought required. Easily adaptable and useful for multiple types of hot beverage drinkers. I am so happy with my Ninja coffee maker. It just makes my mornings go smoother on my way out the door, or enjoying a specialty coffee on the weekends. You really can't go wrong here. Highly recommend 👌!!

We tried every aspect of the Ninja DualBrew Pro except espresso. My husband drinks coffee; I drink tea. Thumbs up on the Keurig pod coffee. The machine brewed HOT coffee with outstanding flavor. The boiling water feature for my tea boiled at least 2 ounces away in steam. I’m at 5500 feet altitude and had already performed the calibration process. The tea was so flavorful; much better than my normal BUT it was lukewarm even after heating the froth. LOVE the froth attachment. My husband’s coffee, brewed with the silver permanent coffee filter, was lukewarm. I tasted it, it was brewed on Rich and it was very tasty. I will try the heated coffee cup option but I’ve never had to do this previously with our little thermal carafe coffeemaker. I had it on delay but it never started at the designated time. I am finding the stopper for the coffee pot is difficult to seat on the pot. I’m not sure you could ever make espresso because the water does not get hot enough. So we’ve got pros and cons. It’s a beautifully designed machine that is so versatile but we like HOT coffee and tea. UPDATE: Changed to 5 stars. We generally brew coffee and tea one cup at a time. So the lukewarm issue pertains to carafe made coffee. When brewed with ceramic mugs, the coffee and tea is HOT. I think the "heated mug" option discussed in the instructions would resolve the lukewarm coffee/tea brewed in the carafe. Also, I resolved the Delay problem. It has to be done every night. I just assumed if it was set up and in Delay, it would work like my other coffee maker. You have to actually turn it on. After using the Ninja for a while, we both really love it. It makes outstanding coffee and tea and it's sort of fun to use. Update #2. After 1 month use, First, the coffeemaker would not “read” the pod adapter so could no longer brew pod coffee. Then while on the phone with Shark/Ninja customer service, the coffee feature went out. So now, I can only boil water. The customer service was excellent. I should have a new coffeemaker in 3-5 days, no shipping fees because it broke within 90 days. This reminds me of the Cuisinart toaster/airfryer/oven I got which did not work but the second one broke too. After spending so much time on the phone, I just gave it away. We’ll see if this coffeemaker makes it to the 1-year warranty without breaking. Still love it though. Update 2: received a new coffeemaker unit without any of the accessories within 3 days. The pod unit works perfectly. All the issues mentioned about lukewarm coffee does not seem to be a problem anymore probably due to single use in a ceramic mug. I really love this coffeemaker!

You're looking for a coffee maker. Maybe a big multi-cup jobber isn't right for you, and you're trying to pick between the many options available. I too was in the same boat and after being disappointed with a recent Keurig purchase (dang chemical taste), I decided to find something that might work better for me. I will be honest that I dug out an old single serve coffee maker. Think of one of those little brewers you'd see in a cheap hotel. However, it worked, and was easy to clean with the stainless screen. I just found the flavor a bit lacking, and it didn't brew hot enough for me. I do own a couple other Ninja appliances that have worked well, so when I saw they offered a single serve coffee maker that would take normal grounds and pods, I decided to pull the trigger. The biggest plus was it has a water tank, so I can fill it with filtered water and make many cups of coffee using without having to fill it each time. I opted for the XL version to get the added water capacity. Getting into using the machine, it was easy to set up. Washed a few parts and I was off to the coffee making races. I normally brew around 12 OZ, and I use Gavina coffee. SInce it's not exactly like my other single serve brewer, I knew I'd have to tweak the amount of grounds being used. I landed on two slightly mounded tablespoons for a 12 oz brew. In terms of the build quality, I really like it. I also like that I can fit my big coffee mug without any issues. That is one big factor that can irk me, not being able to use my travel mugs. However, this machine has no problem in that area. Nothing feels cheap on this machine, and it looks nice as well. So how does it brew? Great! It gets plenty hot and brews the best cup of coffee I've had in a long time. I first tried the classic mode and it was good. However, when I switched to the rich mode, wow. It really enhances the flavor of the coffee and tastes excellent. Also, unlike the Keurig brewers I've bought over the years, this one has ZERO chemical/plastic taste. Good to go. I did run about 5 cycles through the machine before using it though. This thing is awesome and I'm glad I bought it. I didn't test the frother since I normally don't froth anything, but in terms of it making a great cup of coffee, it's a winner. I also love that it saves settings in between uses. So if I dial it in for the way I like my coffee, it has the same settings the next day. SImple but many brewers do NOT offer this. In terms of critiques, I only have one. It's cleaning out the filter assembly after brewing. It has a diffuser lid and it just makes smacking the filter assembly to knock the grounds out more difficult. I wish the lid was designed differently, but it's a very minor annoyance. Besides that, this thing is a home run in my book. I hope it lasts, but I can tell you sipping on a cup of coffee I brewed with this machine, it's the best I've been able to brew from this Gavina blend. Updates: 1. The removable basket which holds the grounds has a diffuser for the hot water to distribute over the grounds. This is not just a clip on, it's a twist lock, and is a bit cumbersome if it comes loose. It fell off in the garbage can a few times until I realized you really had to push and give it a hard twist to lock it on the lid. 2. I have moved on to using disposable filters which greatly reduces cleanup time and also puts less sediment into the brewed coffee. ASIN: B0FQV6H53G 3. The brewer continues to work great. Super happy with it!

Since apparently I have just about every way to make coffee known to man, I had to have this coffee maker. While I love the convenience of k-cups, I don’t always love the price, especially for good coffee. This machine makes good coffee consistently whether it makes a pot, a cup of drip coffee or a k-cup. The only thing I noticed was with certain types of k-cups (Starbucks), the pods sometimes explode and make a mess. Not sure if it’s the fault of the machine or the pods. This machine takes up less space than you’d think. I love the fact that it has a water (hot or boil) only option the uses a different output so you don’t get coffee residue in your tea or whatever. It is also easy to clean. I did purchase a permanent filter (some models come with one I think) which work fine and are less expensive than the one made for this machine. All in all, a good machine.

I've been using Keurigs for many years but when I ran across the CFP301 on sale, I was intrigued enough to give it a try. I really liked how you could set so many brew sizes and the ability to brew 1/4 carafe if I wanted a few cups without having to make two individual cups. I actually planned to use it mostly with reusable pods, like I've always done with my Keurigs, so I ordered a set that would work with this machine (most will not). The pods I bought look to be good quality, but I've never used them. I've been using pods for so long it never clicked that with a machine like this, using reusable pods makes no sense whatsoever. Just use a regular filter, add your coffee and set the brew size to the size cup you want. But there's more. Much more. With a Keurig or other pod-style machine, you are limited by the size of the pod. They can work a little magic by slow-walking the brew for a travel mug, but it was always weaker than a standard cup and there was little you could do to remedy it except for maybe brewing two pods into one cup. With the Ninja, I can simply adjust the amount of coffee and select the desired brew size. Done. Delicious. This machine, like all of the Ninja products I own, is well engineered. The moveable tank is a fantastic idea and is easy to use. The flip-down cup holder? Awesome! The foldable frother? Very cool, and the way you can just pop it off over the cup to take it to the sink is slick. Even the "smart" scoop is a very nice touch. Everything is so easy to use and convenient. The carafe is well designed and easy to clean. The insert for the carafe ensures the hottest coffee is circulated from the bottom up. Nice! I've had no issues with the temperature of my coffee. It has been nice and hot every time and the hot plate under the carafe makes sure it stays that way. When using a thermal travel mug, I'll either let it cool for a few minutes or plop a small piece of ice into it. It's hot. For filters, I am using Melitta #4 and folding the seams as recommended by Ninja. These are affordable, especially if you buy them in multi-packs. The result is delicious, ground-free coffee. I've read several reviews complaining about grounds in their coffee, but they don't mention their particular setup. Are they using a permanent filter? Pods? I don't know, but I'm not getting any and I'm not sure how I could using the paper filters. As for any negatives, which I feel compelled to include in any review, the only things I can think of are insignificant. The build quality is great, but it is a lot of plastic. For the price-point, it's definitely as good as I think one could reasonably expect. As long as it holds up to plenty of use, it looks good, works very well and I'm happy with it. I do wish there was a little capacitor to power the clock temporarily during brief power outages or if you unplug it for a few minutes. This is a tiny complaint, but I already have two other clocks on other appliances in my kitchen and it's a minor nuisance having to reset all these clocks every time the power blips. I haven't had the machine long enough to do a long-term review but if anything changes, I will update my review. So far, I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it. Edit (11/2023): I've been using this coffee maker for five months now, and I would now be lost without it. I absolutely love the versatility. My most recent development was to dig out my old 34 oz. French press, which fits nicely under the filter basket. For the best, boldest coffee, I measure the proper amount of coffee into the press and add 24 oz. of hot water from the Ninja for my normal 2 12 oz. cups. Easiest way ever to use the press. If I need a whole pot or just quick cup, I just brew like normal. If someone has a favorite K-cup, the insert works as expected. Selecting the brew size for coffee or water has been consistent and accurate. I really, really love this coffee maker.

I wanted to write this as I’ve had this for about six months now and feel like I have a good foundation for a review. I have to say I was a little skeptical because it’s fairly pricy, but this is a great coffee maker. It brews the fastest out of any coffee maker I’ve ever used and it’s super easy to use. I also love the hot water feature and think it’s brilliant they have a separate reservoir so your water doesn’t taste like coffee. The only thing they really need to is the measurements on the water tank do not match the measurements on the screen. The screen has ounces and they need to put ounces on the water tank too. They have pictures on both the screen and the tank that indicate fullness (full pot, half pot, travel mug. Etc) but the screen has levels in between each indicators that do not match to anything on the tank. It’s stupid and confusing and they need to make it match. Otherwise this is an awesome coffee maker and I highly recommend.

Haven't had a drip coffee maker of any kind for the last 10 years. I have been using a french press for the last five years and before that my coffee was made in a percolator. A friend introduced us to the variety available in coffee pods, which my wife loves, so that kind of made up my mind. The Ninja CFP301 seemed to have it all and it meant I could do coffee from grounds as well as from pods. We buy beans from a local roaster and the quality of the finished coffee matters a great deal along with the versatility of using k pods. I can't begin to say enough good things about our Ninja coffee maker. We keep 4 or 5 different types of coffee beans on hand and this machine has made great coffee from them all. The fact that it dispenses hot water for tea, etc as well as makes coffee is a bonus in a small kitchen, so no more kettle on the counter. The footprint of this machine is not as big as I feared so it fits well on our counter top. The brew styles work a charm as does the milk frother. OK, so you have to heat the milk up first in the microwave instead of steaming it hot...no problem. The 'Specialty' brew style is worth having the machine for all by itself. While it doesn't produce the crema that true espresso machines do, it makes a cup of espresso from ground coffee that looks, smells and tastes close enough to genuine espresso that making lattes and cappuccinos is easy and a great complement to my kitchen. The conversion from grounds coffee to k pods is simple and I even bought reusable pod capsules that work very well. If there is a con of any kind it's that the warming plate keeps the coffee a bit hotter than I like so that a pot of coffee doesn't age well. I turn it off after a few minutes. I heartily recommend this coffee maker and have done so to all of my coffee fanatic friends.

Es bastante sencilla de utilizar, muy práctica. Funciona muy bien y además es fácil de limpiar. Utiliza cápsulas keurig, al menos en mi ciudad son un poco difíciles de conseguir pero sin problemas encuentras gran variedad en Amazon. La cafetera viene con su cuchara medidora y un filtro para café molido, jarra de vidrio y con espumador de leche. El depósito de agua lo puedes poner en la parte trasera o en un costado. Se puede programar para que inicie automáticamente. La recomiendo!

C’est bien mais je ne suis pas conquise

Muy buena!! Puedes hacer café con capsulas KRUPS o con cafe molido para cafetera. En MX es algo difícil conseguir las capsulas KRUPS a un precio razonable. La limpieza es rápida. La recomiendo al 100%

When we received this product we didn’t realise it was a USA plug but the seller vertex went beyond and above to help us find a converter - unfortunately after an amazing start the machine blew a fuse so we begrudgingly returned it - Canay @ Vertex was amazing and made every transaction so easy and hassle free Canay deserves 100+ for all the help we received a big massive thank you and I’m praying for the day this amazing product becomes totally UK friendly and once again a big shout out for Vertex and especially Canay 😍
