The Ninja Coffee Bar Review + Giveaway!
Need a new coffee maker? I was recently sent a Ninja Coffee Bar to review for This Beautiful Day and I’m actually surprised how much I am using it. Here’s what I liked and disliked about it:
The Water Reservoir
I like that this is removable and I can bring it over to the sink to fill-up as opposed to getting out a clean measuring cup to pour water into the coffee maker. I can fill it up with fresh water every time and just add enough to the suggested fill lines.
The Brew Basket + Measuring Spoon
I don’t use the filter it came with as I like my coffee to pass through a paper filter to take away a bit of the oiliness to it. The Ninja Coffee Bar comes with a double-sided coffee scoop spoon and tells you how much coffee to add depending on the size of what you’re brewing. I like the measuring spoon and have used it a bunch.
Cup, Travel Mug or Carafe?
The biggest edge that the Ninja Coffee Bar has over a single-serve or traditional coffee machine is that it’s a 2 in 1! Meaning I can brew a single cup, a travel mug size, a half carafe or full carafe of coffee – which means way less waste. I didn’t think I would do it, but I am constantly brewing just a single cup of coffee. However I do like being able to brew a carafe for when I have guests.
Choose Your Coffee Strength
This machine also lets you choose your coffee strength. Classic brew is what I usually choose as I drink my coffee black. Rich brew is a more intense flavour if you’re someone who likes to add cream, milk or sugar to your cup.
Over ice brew makes a stronger coffee so the taste is not watered down after the ice cubes. Specialty brew is the most concentrated and would be similar to an espresso shot if you were to make a latte or blended drink with this coffee. The Ninja Coffee Bar also includes a manual milk frother if you want to make fancier coffee drinks at home.
Overall, I was really surprised how much I liked and used my Ninja Coffee Bar. My only complaint is that the machine is really big and takes up a lot of counter space in my kitchen. I just wish it was a little more compact.
However I think the coffee tastes fantastic and I love all the different things that this machine does. I can tell that it was very well thought out and you get a lot of bang for your buck.
