At a glance

Specifications per the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Who it suits

• Households that want a classic drip coffee maker with a 12-cup carafe, enough for several mugs in one brew.
• People who like coffee waiting when they wake up, thanks to the delay brew (up to 24 hours ahead).
• Anyone who sometimes makes only a little coffee: the Small Batch setting covers 2 or 4 cups.
• Those who want a choice of Classic or Rich strength without a long list of settings.

Who should skip it

• If you want a single mug at a time, the smallest Small Batch size is 2 cups, so a pod-based single-serve machine may fit better.
• If you want espresso or milk-based drinks, look at espresso machines instead. This is a drip brewer.
• If you prefer to keep coffee hot in an insulated carafe, note that this model uses a glass carafe on a warming plate.

Cleaning and care

Ninja says to descale with a descaling solution or white vinegar, and that a water-only clean cycle won’t descale the brewer properly. The glass carafe can go in the dishwasher.
