This is the coffee machine I've been waiting for! Not yet around in Canada, but ships from the USA via Amazon Canada. I don't need a coffee machine that makes tea, I don't need a spinning whirly gig on the side to froth milk... I need a 'Coffee Machine!' And this is it! Boy does it keep coffee hot and that's on the low 'keep warm' setting which doesn't tarnish the flavor. And what about that flavor, it's amazing whether just brewing a single mug or brewing a complete giraffe (it has a long neck) the flavor is consistent. Love, love, love the cold brew feature. How have I lived without this? Previously I'd brew a pot of coffee and put it in the fridge to cool down, but this baby brews straight over ice, again by the mug, if that's all you need. Again, awesome full flavor without being bitter. It sits under the counter too and because of the horizontal action of the brew basket, you don't have to move the machine everytime you want to brew a coffee. The included measuring spoon attached to the side and 'drip stop' feature make this machine standout from the crowd for sure. I'm English, we don't make cups of tea in a coffee machine and I believe you would be deported from the UK for doing so. So if it's real coffee you're into and not all that ridiculous frothing nonsense, this is the machine for you!

Great product

To preface this, I love every other Ninja product that I own. As indicated in the title, I followed the initial set up instructions included in the manual, tried running through a mixture of vinegar / water, washed every individual piece of the unit and still no improvement to the distinct plasticky taste I am receiving from my coffee maker. Additionally, at the moment you cannot even register this product for warranty with Ninja (at least in Canada). I tried contacting Ninja customer service, but they were unable to assist in registering or even provide information to me on the phone about this particular model. I am stumped as to what the issue exactly is, but will unfortunately I'll be returning the unit and trying something else.

So I've been through a few coffee makers over the years, and most of them do one thing well and the rest poorly. The Ninja CM371 is the first one I've owned that actually handles both hot and iced coffee without feeling like a compromise on either side. Figured I'd share what I've learned after using it for a while. What You Get The box has the coffee maker, a 12-cup glass carafe, a reusable mesh filter, and a quick start guide. The reusable filter is nice — no need to keep buying paper ones, though you can still use them if you prefer the taste. The Brew Styles This was the biggest selling point for me. It's not just "hot coffee" and "cold coffee" — there are four modes and they actually make a difference: Classic is your standard hot drip. Nothing fancy, just a solid cup of coffee. This is what I use most mornings. Rich brews a stronger, more concentrated cup. I use this one when I'm adding milk or cream — the flavor doesn't get lost the way it does with regular drip. Over Ice is smarter than I expected. Instead of just brewing regular coffee over ice (which tastes watered down by the time you're halfway through the cup), it brews a concentrate that holds up as the ice melts. My iced coffee actually still tastes like coffee by the last sip. Rapid Cold Brew is the one everyone talks about. Normal cold brew takes 12 to 24 hours of steeping. This does it in about 10 minutes. I'll be honest — it doesn't taste exactly the same as cold brew you've been steeping overnight. It's a little brighter, not quite as mellow. But it's smooth, low-acid, and honestly pretty good. If you're the type who decides you want cold brew at 2 PM on a Tuesday, this saves you from having to plan a day ahead. Sizes There are 8 brew sizes, which sounds like a lot but basically breaks down to: single cup options (small, regular, XL, travel mug, XL travel mug) and carafe options (quarter, half, full 12-cup). I like that I can make one cup for myself in the morning without wasting a whole pot, but still brew a full carafe when people are over. The water reservoir auto-senses how much water you put in, so you don't have to measure anything. How It Looks and Feels It's black and stainless steel, looks clean on the counter, nothing too flashy. It's about 15 inches tall and a foot deep, so it's not small — check your counter space, especially if you have upper cabinets. The water reservoir pops out so you can fill it at the sink instead of awkwardly pouring water into the machine. There's a clock and delay brew, so you can set it up the night before and wake up to coffee. Cleaning The reusable filter just needs a rinse after each brew. The carafe and reservoir wash up easy. Like any coffee maker, you'll need to descale it every so often depending on your water. What I Like The Over Ice mode actually works — iced coffee that doesn't taste watered down Cold brew in 10 minutes is genuinely convenient One machine for single cups and full carafes Reusable filter saves money on paper filters Removable water reservoir Brews directly into a travel mug Delay brew for mornings What I Don't Love It's big. Not a dealbreaker, but it takes up real counter space The rapid cold brew is good but not identical to traditional overnight cold brew The reusable filter needs a rinse after every single brew Glass carafe, not thermal — coffee won't stay hot forever off the warming plate Not an espresso machine, so no lattes or cappuccinos Over Ice and cold brew make smaller batches than the full carafe Who This Is For If you drink both hot and iced coffee, this makes a lot of sense. Same if you sometimes brew for one and sometimes for a group. The cold brew feature is great if you're impatient like me and don't want to plan ahead. It's also a good pick if you're trying to move away from K-Cup pods. Who Should Probably Look Elsewhere If you're mainly an espresso or latte person, this isn't for you — it's a drip machine, not an espresso maker. If your kitchen is tiny, the footprint might be an issue. And if you're really particular about traditional cold brew flavor, the rapid version is close but not the same thing. Bottom Line I'm happy with it. It does what it says it does — hot coffee, iced coffee, and a quick cold brew, all from one machine. The variety of brew styles and sizes means I'm not stuck making a full pot when I just want one cup, and I can switch between hot and iced without owning two separate machines. It's not perfect (it's big, and the cold brew isn't identical to the real thing), but for the price it's hard to beat if you want one machine that covers all your coffee bases.
