Ninja Specialty Drip Coffee Maker, DualBrew Pro, Black CFP307

I'm loving this new coffee maker, which is replacing my Keurig machine and my Nespresso original line machine and can do even more than both of them. And it replaces my battery operated frothing wand. It's built-in frother does the job better (the battery-powered one spun at different speeds depending on battery strength, and at full speed I had to slow it down manually to keep it from overflowing my small espresso cups. So this machine is going to seriously declutter my coffee-making area. So far I have tried out making coffee with K-cups, making single cups from grounds with its reusable filter, and making lattes. One note about K-cups: works great with store-bought pods, but I used to use my Keurig with a reusable pod. When I tried that (which the instructions do say doesn't work) the needle comes down at an angle and hits outside the edge of the cup's permanent hole, so it won't close. Some Ninjas with the same model number apparently come with a three-pin design, and there are reusable K-cups that claim to be compatible with that. However I decided that this isn't important as the machine's native method of making a single cup from grounds is not really any harder to use and clean up after than a reusable K-cup. Features I haven't tried yet are brewing a carafe of coffee (I live alone so this will have to wait until I have daytime visitors) (although this was my motivation for looking at new machines), brewing iced-coffee, dispensing hot water, and the rich brew setting. The feature for making a latte I like much better than the Nespresso machine. It was suitable only for making very small espresso drinks, while the Ninja makes a latte similar in size to a coffee shop latte, and it tastes much richer. (Uses way more grounds for this pour than Nespresso does.) Very happy with this machine!

I wanted the convenience of a pod but the option for a full pot. After quite a bit of research and a few disappointing returns i settled on the Ninja Dualbrew CFP307. While features were important to me, one thing stood above all else, the ability to make good coffee. As many of you might know a huge component of good coffee is hot water. I am happy to report that the CFP307 gets nice and hot. I was getting 198 on "rich" setting measuring right where the water drips out of the machine. This means the water may be even hotter when hitting the grounds. The "classic" setting was around 194. However not all ninja dualbrews are created equally apparently. I didnt realize but amazon has multiple modes all grouped together. When selecting the buying options it sounds like your just selecting if you want the additional milk froather and permanent filter but they are intact diffrent models. The first one i got was the CFP401A. That model lacked the independent water feature and the water temperature was coming out at low 180s. The models look nearly identical so be careful. One thing I do want to mention is the 307 is an upgrade over the 407 in nearly every way except 2 things, pot size and pod function. The 407 is 72oz and the 307 is a max of 55oz. The pod function on the 407 has 3 water spouts that puncture the pod where the 307 only has 1. At first I was really bummed about this. However after doing some research i found that ninja sells the pod adapter apparatus with the 3 water spouts on their website and its compatible with the 307. I haven't ordered it yet and it might be a marketing gimmick. Keurig was the first one to come out with "multistream" technology and it makes sense logically to me. More spouts puncture the pod alowing for water to more evenly cover the grounds in a pod which in turn means better extraction which makes a better cup of coffee. This might not matter to some people but I wanted to mention it. Overall I am very happy with the 307 it makes a very nice cup of coffee, its feature rich and good build quality. The ability to dispense clean water for tea or other drinks without it tasting like old coffee water is great. I like that the water reservoir is movable from side to back and while the froather doesnt heat it works well and is very easy to clean. If your in the market for a "dual" brewing machine I highly recommend checking out the Ninja 307

Dec 2023 update. I have this same model at work for the coffee kcup drinkers. I accidentally ordered a box of green tea kcups instead of pods. One day, I wasn't feeling well and broke out a tea kcup to throw in the machine. I didn't rinse off the pieces first. To my happiness, my tea didn't taste at all like coffee. Didn't have grounds in it either. So, there's that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my 2nd ninja coffee maker. As long as they keep innovating their products, I will be a dedicated fan. I had my first Ninja for 3 years before it started to leak. I had taken for granted how easy the Ninja made my morning routine, so I bought a different brand as a replacement that looked "fine". It was fine, but was more involved than I wanted it to be. And I missed my Ninja. Also, when I found out that Ninja has a separate line for hot/boiling water, I became obsessed with getting my hands on it. PROS: Convenient water reservoir - 60 oz - that can be moved to the back from the side, if that suits your set up. Easy reservoir to remove, fill, and return to the base. Or, fill with a pitcher. Delay start - I mean, who doesn't like to have their coffee waiting for them. SEPARATE HOT/BOILING WATER DISPENSER for tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, instant soups, etc. This is an amazing option to have available!! No tea drinker likes using the coffee maker for their tea. This is a total game changer. Coffee pod adapter - if you like to use pods, you have that option. And it is easy to use and easy to clean. [I bought this same machine for my office lunchroom. It meets everybody's needs. The tea drinker gets his tea, everybody gets to choose their favorite coffee pod, and everyone gets to choose the strength of coffee they want. We stored the carafe, as we aren't likely to use it much there.] Cone shaped permanent filter, with option to add a paper filter (size 2 fits perfectly; size 4 fits, but needs to be squished down) if you prefer. Loose grounds really make the best coffee. Wide range of coffee sizes to choose from (unless you use pods, and then you are limited, probably bc it doesn't make sense to make 20 oz of coffee with a pod) Open/close manual feature. If you are waiting for the pot to fill and need to sneak a cup, I really like that there is a slide knob to manually move from right to left, AND it shows you on the display panel if it is open or closed. Built in coffee scoop. I can never find mine for some reason. The fact that this one has a storage spot on the machine makes my mornings super easy. Frother. It doesn't heat your milk, but it is fun to use. It is attached to the machine, and pulls in and out for easy use. It lies flush when stored. The frother part is easy to remove for easy cleaning. A really fun bonus. Sometimes I froth my creamer before adding it, cold even, and it's just a little different treat. The control panel is intuitive and easy to use to select your favorite options. It didn't take a lot of thought to make an assortment of coffee styles. I love that. Cleaning feature for descaling. Personally, I prefer having this option than not. You can use vinegar or coffee descaler. Cup platform. Also attached to the machine, and flips up and out of the way when not in use. Perfection. Smart hot plate. The user manual says this isn't available on all models, but it is included on mine. (Possibly not on the models with thermal carafe?) This it's my second newest favorite feature. Small size cups of coffee do not turn on the hot plate, but half carafe or larger does (you also have the option of manually turning the hot plate on to keep a cup of coffee warm). So, I can use any travel mug with this machine and make almost limitless sizes that I want. The machine tells you how many ounces and the quick start guide tells you how many of their scoops to use, from individual cups all the way to a full carafe. *****There is little-to-no thinking involved******. Which leads to my next favorite feature. The footprint is fairly small, given all the features. The Ninja machine at work is set up for daily pod use. My machine at home is set up for grounds in a filter. Changing back and forth isn't that hard, but being able to use the machine the way I want to without changing it, is absolute perfection. Granted, I am the only person at my home using this machine, but adding the pod adapter isn't hard at all. The Ninja pod adapter is the only thing you have to change to use a pod. The top cover slides back, and you drop in the adapter and slide it forward to lock it in. To go back to filter, you push the adapter backward to unlock the adapter, pop it out, put the permanent filter back in, and slide the cover forward. That's it. Cons I had a little struggle at set up with both office and home machines understanding how the cover and adapter worked together and getting them to operate smoothly. This was totally fixable by a thorough reading of the instructions, but once I got it, I got it, and I feel silly that it took me a minute. Maybe bc the feature is totally different than any other coffee maker. The user manual says that reusable pod filters are not compatible. However, it is easy to use the permanent filter, even for small cups of coffee, that this shouldn't be a deal breaker. SUMMARY The build is solid, intuitive, and multifunctional with very little thought required. Easily adaptable and useful for multiple types of hot beverage drinkers. I am so happy with my Ninja coffee maker. It just makes my mornings go smoother on my way out the door, or enjoying a specialty coffee on the weekends. You really can't go wrong here. Highly recommend 👌!!

I own one of the old design with 3 needles in the upper K-cup adapter at my condo. Works great after 2 years. Bought another one primarily for K-cup use at my home. Seemed to work OK with K-cups for a month then started leaving copious amounts of grounds in the coffee. Then would stop half way through the brewing process and said it needed cleaning. Cleaned multiple time with both acid and base cleaners starting initially with vinegar as suggested. Nothing helped. Called support and was treated decently. They sent me a new K-cup adapter. Exact same problem. Called again and this time they sent me a new base unit. Tried with both K-cup adapters with exact same result. If you opened the top too early after the machine stopped you got sprayed in the face with coffee grounds and boiling hot water. Called support again and this time they sent me an entirely new unit. Same problem. I finally looked up these one star reviews and found many owners complaining about the exact same problem and learned about the change in design from one to 3 needles in the K-cup adapter. Even though it was past the return window I contacted Amazon and returned the unit for a complete refund of the original purchase price. None-the-less, I wasted over $25 in K-cups, probably another $25 in coffee maker cleaning products, and a whole lot of my time trying to figure out why 3 different machines would not make coffee from K-cups. While Ninja customer support was kind through three different support calls THE NEW SINGLE NEEDLE PRODUCT DESIGN IS DEFECTIVE. IT DOESN'T WORK WITH KEURIG OR ANY OTHER BRAND OF K-CUPS. The sad thing is that Ninja's customer support is clueless as to this problem and just keeps reading from their support scripts. I ended up junking two perfectly good base units and returned one complete unit to Amazon. I recently visited my condo and tried the unit with three needles and it works fine but as others have said here, the three needle version is no longer available. I will not be buying any Shark-Ninja products in the future as I also had a recent $300 Shark air purifier fail shortly after the warranty expired and it proved to be unrepairable.

Just got this product and I am so impressed. Got this to replace another, expensive, well-known brand, combo coffee maker. The Ninja is about the same price but is so much better in so many ways. First, it takes up only 7” of counter space width-wise under my cabinets. That is remarkable for a combo coffee maker and it is a credit to the superior design. My former coffee maker took up twice that amount of space. Full disclosure, as you can see in the second photo I posted, the 7” max width is because I positioned the water reservoir on the back of the unit vs on the right side of the unit. You have the option of setting it up either way. Out of the box the reservoir was on the side. Very easy to switch but take a minute to read the quick setup instructions. The next big enhancement relative to my former, brand name maker is that the reservoir for brewing a full pot of coffee is the same one as for brewing k-cups and is super easy to fill. My old one required a contortionist to angle water to fill the reservoir when you wanted to brew a pot vs a cup of coffee. Filling it almost always resulted in water all over the counter. After just one day of use, the third great feature of this Ninja over my former brand name appliance is that there is a separate water line running from the main reservoir to the brewing unit for when you just want to fill a cup with hot water for tea or hot cider or hot chocolate. This means you do not risk degrading your alternative drink with coffee residue. I have not used the milk frother which is tucked neatly into the side of the unit but look forward to giving it a try. So cleverly designed it takes a little while to figure it out if you are used to the typical clunky designs on most combo units. I noticed some reviews indicating the unit did not function very well with k-cups but I do not understand that at all. We already brewed several non-Keurig brand k-cups and the unit worked seamlessly and brewed great cups of coffee. Hoping this unit will continue to perform well as the design is fantastic. I have a very large kitchen but no one wants to waste valuable counter space.

I purchased this ninja for a few reasons. It 1) brews single cups and pots, 2) has a separate water reservoir, 3) it handles k-cups, and 4) has a timer. I am 99% happy with this purchase. It makes coffee as well as any other brewer I've had before and has all the features that I was looking for. I am especially thrilled with the carafe. My previous one drooled and spilled if I didn't pour it just right. This carafe has no such problem. Also, it has a funnel to the bottom of the carafe, so the brewed coffee goes straight the bottom of the pot first, ensuring a well-mixed pot. My model (cfp307) came with a permanent filter which I never use. I don't like the sediment produced when a paper filter is not used. It also has a frother that I would never use. At the time, this model cost less than the model without the filter and frother however. One that that I am not happy about is the K-cup attachment. This model used to come with a 3 pin system, for which I have a reusable 3-pin, k-cup pod. However, I received the "improved" version with a single pin. Not only doesn't it fit the triple pin reusable pod, but it also doesn't fit a single pin reusable pod. The pin in the Ninja adaptor seems to be slightly off center and does not match the hole in the reusable pod I have. From Ninja, when asked about the change: "We’re truly sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please note that we recently introduced a design update featuring an improved needle for better saturation.". I could not find any alternative as of yet.

This coffee maker has definitely become the favorite in my house! We love making coffee in different ways, and I really like having so many options depending on what I’m in the mood for. The best feature for me is the programming. Being able to set it up the night before and wake up to fresh coffee already made is the best. As soon as I get up, my coffee is ready and I’m ready to start my day with some energy! It has become part of my morning routine, and I honestly enjoy using it every day. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves coffee.

You can brew a pot, or a single cup. A 12 oz. cup, pod takes about 2 minutes to brew. Coffee tastes great. I purchased a couple of re-usable pods and use my own coffee to fill. Comes out great, easy clean-up. I would recommend.

Es bastante sencilla de utilizar, muy práctica. Funciona muy bien y además es fácil de limpiar. Utiliza cápsulas keurig, al menos en mi ciudad son un poco difíciles de conseguir pero sin problemas encuentras gran variedad en Amazon. La cafetera viene con su cuchara medidora y un filtro para café molido, jarra de vidrio y con espumador de leche. El depósito de agua lo puedes poner en la parte trasera o en un costado. Se puede programar para que inicie automáticamente. La recomiendo!

Excelente producto!!! Solo una consulta, donde puedo conseguir un vaso de repuesto para este modelo?

Muy buena, es muy precisa y moderna!

Tengo poco tiempo, el café molido todo bien, sale concentrado, no he probado las capsulas, es muy bonita, visualmente me gusta mucho

Dejo de funcionar a partir del mes y medio de uso. La garantía no se puede ejercer porque es un producto importado de Estados Unidos, definitivamente no la recomiendo.
