The Ninja Carafe & Single-Serve System had all the same features of the original Coffee Bar, but it had a more cube design, a milk frother, 50 ounce reservoir, internal scoop, 6 sizes vs 4, a specialty brew “Cafe Forte”, and the time display and other buttons are on the bottom, which looked classy. All their units serve a purpose and all are great, but let’s look at them broken down.
The coffee maker that put Ninja on the map per their website: Carafe with Pod-Free Single Serve, also known as the Coffee Bar – is exactly as its title states. You can brew a carafe or a single cup. Your four sizes are: half carafe, full carafe, 9.5oz cup or travel size. Your brew options are Classic, Rich, Over-Ice, or Specialty. This is their first machine so to speak and would be great for anyone who simply wants to brew coffee. You can make specialty coffees, it just doesn’t have the built-in frother.
