We upgraded to the Ninja and will never go back. You can use the #2 cone filters to keep the metal screen clean.

This is your chance to invest in a real coffee maker. Don't squander it.

I have the Ninja as well. Slightly less convenient but the coffee tastes better

A moccamaster would be great, but honestly any of the SCAA certified machines (some are like 120 bucks) make good coffee.

OP, just compare reviews for those machines on Amazon or the like, buy a decent burr grinder and use good coffee. It probably takes me 90 seconds every morning to grind and get the brew started.

Of course you can do Aeropress or a french press to get similarly great results, it just takes marginally more effort. All of these options (as well as Nespresso) are far, far better than anything Keurig can do.

Purchased the ninja coffee bar system. Paid $119, very intrigued by it.

Fine, I'll say it.

$40 french press.


Agreed, simple, easy to clean, and makes great coffee.

Some folks talking about the Ninja brewer yesterday, and Woot has reconditioned ones for $64.99 today.

Anyone have the Ninja in they link above? Is that a good deal? Are they more cost effective than Keurigs?

I don't have one, but that link is about $50 cheaper than on Amazon. It is factory reconditioned. Some of the negative reviews on Amazon make me hesitant to buy one though. Sounds like a common problem is it getting stuck in Clean mode. Also a lot of complaints about the coffee not being hot enough.

Seems like a good deal for all it does if you get one that doesn't malfunction.
