Ninja CFN601 Espresso & Coffee Barista System, Single-Serve Coffee & Nespresso Capsule Compatible, 12-Cup Carafe, Built-In Frother, Espresso, Cappuccino & Latte Maker, Black & Stainless Steel Review

Let me state at the outset: the espresso side of this coffee station only accepts Nespresso Original pods (NOT Vertuo, the newer system)—and nothing else. It is not an espresso machine in any other sense.That being said, you can make just about any kind of coffee-based beverage imaginable with this machine. It is smaller than we expected, which is great because it is not a monster taking over counter space. And if you can get past the Ninja marketing tactic of labeling nearly every feature on…

What a great way to start the day! This machine delivers great tasting coffee speedy fast and at fraction of what it would cost through the drive thru. The buttons are all easy to read and understand right out of the box. The machine looks great on my counter as well. Overall, great product by a reputable brand.

I really do think that the coffee tastes better coming out of this when compared to my single serve coffee maker… sure you can guess the brand. Anywho, I really like the rich setting when I’m making a pot of coffee. It does seem to taste better? Also, it is very nice to have an option to close the system up when coffee is done brewing. When I pour coffee for individuals, there is never a drip of coffee coming out of the filter and making a mark on the hot plate. I love it!

This machine makes good regular coffee but it looses a star because you have to select one of the pre set volumes. Mostly that is OK but not ideal.The real downside to this product is the expresso maker. There are only two sizes and again, no way to change the volume like a real Nespresso machine. AND, most importantly, the temperature is no where near hot enough. If I run three with no capsule, it gets to almost hot enough but never really gets there. this has a great effect on the coffee and…

I became a big fan of the ninja coffee makers after purchasing the ninja specialty coffee maker. We just didn't have a use for the specialty option, since it wasn't strong enough. We needed a coffee machine that would make multiple cups of coffee and anything close to cappuccinos and espressos. This coffee maker is exactly what we were looking for and it did not disappoint. We are able to brew a pot of coffee when family and friends come over and serve anyone who prefers cappuccinos or…

This new Ninja coffee system works well. Simple to use. Making your own drinks at home couldn’t be easier. The top lid will drip the condensation onto the top of the machine if opened while wet after brewing a cup. That small issue is the only thing I can even slightly say negative about this machine. I have been enjoying all of the different creations I have come up with since getting the machine. I usually start with brewing my coffee to allow it time to drip while making an espresso and…

Perhaps I've become spoiled by the perfection of the "gold" brew setting on my Breville. I was hoping this Ninja would be a great all-in-one replacement for my coffee and espresso needs but no dice for a coffee snob. The Ninja is a jack of all trades but master of none. Brew functions are extremely limited with the Ninja. This may not be in issue if they had nailed a single brew function but I found the standard coffee brew to be lacking in taste and overcooked on the burner. The espresso brew…

I am so happy with my new Ninja Espresso & Coffee Barista…. I’ve been wanting this Barista for a while now. It’s well made like every other ninja product we own in this house. I love the big coffee pot and especially love that I can make single cups. My daughter is the barista expert so I can’t wait to see the drinks that she makes using this beauty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely love this coffee pot! I use to be all about k-cups this is by far better! I love being able to use any coffee! My only complaint is the frother, you have to hold the coffee cup and it is in a weird place. You also have to hold down the button to entire time. Not to mention there isn’t a stand for you cup. It also doesn’t heat the milk. I ended up buying a separate frother to set next to my coffee pot.

I am not a big Keurig single serve fan these days as the flavor just doesn't appeal to me anymore. So I went looking for a single cup brewer. I came across this that not only brewed single cups but also full pots, along with being able to brew Nespresso pods(1st gen small pods).First, we did the single cup brewing and using the "Rich" setting, we get a really nice robust cup of coffee, that is much better than what you would get from a Keurig(IMO). We then tried a full pot and it was just as…

Ninja has always been known for their innovative, consumer friendly products and this is no exception!I won't bother you with reviewing the regular coffee pot side of this machine because, well it's a ninja!They have ALWAYS made great coffee!Of course it's awesome, simple to operate, just fill it up before going to bed and you will have great coffee in the morning!What I was mainly interested in was the espresso/cappuccino side of this beast.Thankfully it's just as simple to use as the coffee…

This Ninja is replacing my old Ninja coffee bar. My old one had just the drip coffee option for small cups up to a full carafe and an attached milk frother wand. This new one has those things plus the added feature of the Nespresso pods to make espresso drinks. This is my favorite feature personally. While I do drink regular drip coffee, especially if my husband or guests are also drinking some, my regular morning go to is the espresso. I take a 14oz cup filled 3/4 with ice, choose the brew…

I absolutely love my ninja espresso machine! It looks really good in my kitchen and brews great coffee. Has a few different brew options and cup sizes. I love that it has a section for nespresso pods if you wanna go that route as well as a built in frother. I definitely recommend!

Great machine easy to useMakes coffer real fastMakes a delicious expressoNinja does it again sleek design great price point

This system is perfect for making craft coffees and espresso at home. I love that I can also make a full pot of coffee if I have company over. The milk frother on the side is also a nice feature. Great coffee system!

I'm kind of blown away, when you spend $200 for a coffee maker, you don't really expect to get shorted. I have to go buy a permanent filter (which my last Ninja came with). Guys, it's like $5 worth of plastic. Include the damn thing.

We love this machine. Classy looking. Simple but does all the things. You CAN schedule a cup to pot of brew coffee. That's my feedback!
