Ninja Programmable XL 14-Cup Coffee Maker PRO, 14-Cup Glass Carafe, Freshness Timer, with Permanent Filter, Black Stainless Steel, DCM201BK

Let me start by saying we drink at least 2 pots of coffee a day in my house. I have owned lots of coffee pots. We prefer the 14 cup ones at this point, to allow everyone enough in the morning for coffee at home and for to-go cups to take along. There is kind of slim pickings when it comes to the 14 cup size coffee makers.The last two I've owned were Braun and Cuisinart , 14 cup. Both were attractive and brewed fine. But...both of them dripped when pouring. EVERY TIME. Once I called Cuisinart to ask for a new pot, thinking it was just a fluke. They were nice enough to send a new pot, which dripped just as bad as the first one. I gave up and used it for a few years until it stopped working. I did not even really realize how annoying that constant dripping all over my counters was, until I got this Ninja coffee pot that has NEVER dripped once in the month that I've had it! I'm so grateful!We love the separate water container, which is new for us. It's much more convenient than using your coffee pot to fill. That usually drips on the counter too, in spite of how slow and careful you try to be. So, this separate container with a lid to seal it has been great!The coffee pot itself is very attractive. It's about the normal size of any other coffee pot. I like that there are no sides. It makes the pot easy to get out and one less surface to clean.The warmer works great and is smooth, so easy to wipe down and keep clean.The display was one of the easier ones I've had to figure out. Pretty self explanatory for the most part.And, I think it brews better coffee than either of my last two pots and it's faster.I just really can't find anything about this pot to complain about! I've never had a Ninja product in my life, so wasn't sure what to expect. After the last two dripping insanely I figured I'd try something different. I'm so glad I did. This has been the best experience ever with a new coffee pot! I would TOTALLY recommend if your looking for a 14 cup, non-dripping, beautiful coffee maker.

This is the best coffee maker I’ve ever had & it's affordable. It makes perfect coffee, looks amazing & is made well. It’s designed and manufactured professionally. Great features, not complicated to use. Bonus - it arrived on my Birthday 🎁

I bought the Ninja coffee maker for the programmable feature. It really makes good, hot coffee and is easy to program. I got the 14 cup size since we make a pot every morning and pour it into a thermal carafe to drink throughout the day where it stays very hot. It is easy to make less if desired but nice to have the option for more. It looks great on my counter, does not take up too much space and can be pushed under the cabinets after brewing. I brew it on the rich cycle which makes a delicious and smooth cup of rich coffee, not at all bitter. I have found that I can use less coffee, six level scoops for twelve cups, than in our previous coffee maker, saving us money. The included attached scoop is very handy. I drink my coffee black and I do not like weak coffee so I am very happy with this ratio. The sprayer head evenly moistens the grounds so there aren't any dry spots in the basket. The higher temperature really extracts the most flavor from the beans. I program it at night so I do not have to wait for the coffee to be made. I do use the paper filters rather than the included gold filter, personal preference, since our coffee is finely ground and I do not want any bits of coffee in my mug. I haven't even tried the gold filter, so it may work perfectly. I plan to clean it monthly since we are using good well water rather than filtered water, which is recommended. The cleaning process is simple and it has a cleaning cycle. I use white vinegar as recommended. Daily I rinse out the carafe, filter basket and water container and leave them upside down to drain which another reviewer recommended. I want to take good care of this machine since we value good coffee. I did get the 4 year warranty since I know coffee makers don't last too long. Hopefully this Ninja will hold up!

This is an improvement from the Cuisinart that it’s replacing. Previous maker leaked from the carafe and had a completely rusted out bottom, indicating months of slow leaking. Removable water reservoirs is very convenient.Like many others, I was getting a lot of dribble when pouring, mostly the first few cups. Not a little drip-drop, more like a couple of tablespoons all over the counter for each cup poured. Not every time though, so I kind of figured it was me, and how slow or fast I was pouring. FRUSTRATING.I put some thought into the dribble / leaking issue, and got it resolved. For those of you still suffering with a messy counter top or table, look at the attached photo. Right on the outer edge of the pour spout, there can be a rough edge. It’s a residual built up ridge of plastic leftover from when the part came out of the mold, and clearly does not affect all units. I initially used my fingernail to “scrape” the lip down, and pouring suddenly became 75% better. A little extra-fine sand paper, or a scrape from a razor knife took down the rest. Suddenly…no more dribble.After that, I’m right back to loving the flavor and richness of the coffee.The “Rich” setting takes a while to brew, which is purpose of the button. The coffee is worth waiting for.The programming is a little less than intuitive, but I’ll keep the instructions nearby for a few years.Overall, a great 14 cup maker once the quality control issue is resolved.
