NinjaCoffee Maker | 14-Cup Glass Carafe | Programmable | Includes Adjustable Warming Plate, Freshness Timer & Removable Water Reservoir | 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!

We have had the 12-cup Ninja for years and we decided to get this one for the extra two cup capacity. It's actually a very nice coffeemaker. The pot DOES NOT leak from the spout as some of the reviews suggest. You do have to take care when pouring the first cup from a full pot because if you tip the pot too far forward coffee will drip from the center of the cover at the dome. The trick is to hold the pot high enough when pouring so it's not tipped too far forward. The glass pot does not have cup markings so you do have to guess how much coffee is left in the pot at any given time, but we are used to that from our previous one.The copper color is very attractive. It is very low profile and doesn't take up a lot of space. We like the delay program. It's very easy to turn on and off. The auto shut off kicks in after the warm function finishes. Ours is set to 4 hours. It's easy to set the time and to program it. The coffee is very hot just the way we like it. The coffee tastes great, but I credit that to the quality of the beans used and not the actual coffeemaker. There is no odd plastic smell to the coffeemaker.The only issue is the location of the water tank. They put it in back on this model instead of on the side and it's terrible placement. We have to constantly pull the coffee maker away from the side of the refrigerator to put the tank in and out. The tank goes off balance trying to insert it because it has to match up perfectly to the area where the ground coffee goes. It's very awkward and so annoying trying to juggle it when it's full to get it lined up correctly. I deducted one star because it really takes away from the overall appeal of the coffee maker.We think it's a good value for the price paid, and it is actually very nice, except for the water tank placement.
