I am replacing my old Ninja dual brew because the motor was wearing out.
This one is smaller, but almost the same water res. amount.
I like the interchangeable basket/pod set up better than the old one. It's much simpler.
The -1 star is because you need to use a coarse ground coffee in the permanent filter or it will leave a good amount of sludge in your cup.
Other than that: coffee brews super hot. The "rich" function actually works (the old one never did).
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a good, quality phone with a lot of "bells and whistles" for a budget price.
It has a nice size screen that is crisp and clear, it's very touch sensitive so no scrolling lag.

I thought my computer was the issue, but I figured out it was my ethernet card.
Since I am not very hands-on with computers, I decided to try this netgear option, and I'm glad I did.
It was extremely easy to install the software (just download it before you plug the netgear in, so you don't have to juggle your internet connection).
And the speed is excellent.

It's a medium roast but it's close to a dark roast in intensity.

The Quick-Release Battery Pack allows you to have backup power for select battery powered Ring Doorbells and Cameras. To charge your battery pack, simply connect it to a micro-USB cord and plug it into a power outlet. If the battery pack in compatible Ring Video Doorbell or Securtiy Cam runs out of power, you can remove your batteries by pressing the quick-release tab on the battery pack. Then, simply slide your second battery pack into your device, and you’re good to go.

These don't seem to hold a charge as well as they used to.
When I bought my Ring 2, the battery would last 4-5 months easily.
I've bought several back-up batteries to have on hand, and they seem to run down at about 2 months.

I like my coffee bold and strong, and this one packs that double punch for a hot coffee.
You can feel that it's heavier than other k-cups, so more coffee.
If you like it iced, it's good- but if you want a hot cup of really strong, flavorful coffee, or if you have a large mug and just want to get more bang for your buck -you can run this twice on the 8oz setting and it's still great.

First: the little half circles are the perfect size for tortillas!
Second: it's very easy to use, You can preheat it with your ham, onions, sliced potatoes, whatever in it and they cook while it's heating, so when you add the eggs, only the eggs need cooking.
If you use a lot of filling (meats, etc), then just use 2 large eggs for both wells, not 4 eggs.
Also, when you see that the eggs are just slightly "jiggly" unplug the unit, leave the lid closed for 2-3 minutes to finish, unless you like your eggs a little over cooked.

About 2 months ago it started blue screening when you turned it on, so you'd have to power it on and off a few times until it hit the loading screen,
Annoying but not a deal breaker.
Now, I'm going to take is back for repair or replacement because it takes 10-12 times of powering it on/off to get it to load.

There's a "clean" button on top.
I haven't had it long enough to say if it's a stand alone button or if you have to use a descaling solution.

Are there any disposable filters available for the ground coffee option to replace the permanent filter? Thanks!

The booklet says not to use paper filters, but it's tempting because fine ground coffee seems to leave sludge with just the permanent filter.
