Ninja Pods & Grounds Single-Serve Coffee Maker, K-Cup Pod Compatible, 56-oz. Reservoir, 6-oz. Cup to 24-oz. Travel Mug Brew Sizes, Iced Coffee Maker, Navy, PB041NV

This is perfect for my small kitchen. It does both ground and kcup coffee. If you do the ground option yes it does stop for a moment but picks right back up. Its just trying to pull water from the reservoir and then heat it. Dont think it is broken, its not....thats how it works. Perfect scooper for the ground basket. It also can use the 1 needle reusable kcups so you can brew your own coffee instead of buying kcups. No odor except the nice brew of the coffee. Not very heavy at all. Comes with scooper, the basket for ground coffee and the kcup holder. If you are using either or, the other has a compartment holder to store it at, at the bottom side of the machine (so no losing it).

If you’re looking for a single cup coffee maker, this one checks all the boxes. I prefer to ground my own coffee, although K cups will do in a pinch if I’m in a rush. I’m finding it much easier to use ground coffee with this machine, and it has all sorts of handy features like making a cup of coffee up to 24 ounces unlike the Keurig, which is limited to 12 ounces maximum, being able to adjust the cup height so you can accommodate yetis as well as shorter cups if you’re worried about splash over. And on top of that, it has a neat little storage compartment for the extra parts. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it makes a great cup of coffee! It’s definitely an upgrade from my Keurig.

I stopped sipping the Keurig kool-aid and found the Ninja! This unit checks all the boxes for me. Not only is it beautiful on my minimalist countertop (I bought it in navy blue), it brews a great cup of coffee in less than one minute! I love the adjustable platform. Being able to put my cups close to the spout eliminates the splashing and sputtering mess that often comes when dispensing from far above the cup. The iced coffee setting brewed the perfect glass of iced coffee - just as good as Starbucks and I saved myself $7! An unexpected surprise is the storage compartment located in the unit for the alternate filter. The water reservoir is easy to handle and is easily visible without being bulky or unsightly. I'm very happy.

Great coffee maker but less than thrilled with Amazon's description of coffee maker as "like new". Would give coffee maker 5 stars for sure. Makes great hot coffee fast! Also great option to have basket as well as pods. I fill my own reusable pods but since a pod really only has enough coffee to make a 6 oz cup, the basket option is great for making a larger cup Also you can buy small paper filters for basket to make clean up easier . Attractive design as well. I bought a "like new" Ninja to save $. This is my first time buying a used item from Amazon..I noted that the like new and the very good options were less than a dollar apart. Like new description said box has moderate damage . Very good said dome signs if use were evident . Well, the unit I got had box in great shape if not perfect . Unit looked as if it had never been unpacked. But upon unpacking it was clear that item had been used. Basket mesh was brown- stained from use and I could not get rid of that Brown color. ( Not a big deal but definitely not "like new") And the exterior of the unit itself has one or more scratches or imperfections on matte metallic - looking piece in front and elsewhere. So again, not "like new ". I would say more like good or very good. I wonder if they grabbed the wrong box, or since it looked like it had never been unpacked before if they assumed that this previously returned item had in fact never been used and did not unpack it to check. Perhaps previous owner was not exactly honest . But Amazon should inspect to verify . In any case I did get a great coffee maker , but my first experience with buying used was not great. ( I decided that I would just keep it and never reached out to Amazon about this issue because I had waited for the item and was in a hurry to upgrade my coffee experience) . .

Husband and I love this. The size is so small. Large water storage. The brew speed isn't any different than my other ninja was. Not super fast, but not slow either. I use ground coffee and appreciate the non-drip when I go to throw out the coffee/filter. No mess. The temperature of my coffee is really hot. That thrills me. I like hot coffee. It looks beautiful in my kitchen. Very pleased.
