Programmable coffee maker 12-14 cups

Why We Chose It

This Ninja coffee maker is like the James Bond of caffeine gadgets. Sleek, efficient, and able to switch between Classic and Rich brew modes faster than you can say 'Espresso martini, shaken not stirred.' The Thermal Flavor Extraction ensures your coffee doesn't taste like burnt toast, while the 60 oz. removable water reservoir means fewer trips to the sink and more time pretending you're an artisanal barista. Also, the Mid-Brew Pause lets you sneak a cup mid-cycle, just in case patience isn't your strong suit. For the price, it's practically a steal, unless you count the electric bill from using it non-stop.

What It Does

• Brews coffee hot enough to melt your morning zombie state.
• Offers Classic and Rich brews for your caffeine snobbery.
• Removable water tank minimizes sink marathons.
• Mid-Brew Pause for impatient caffeine addicts.

What It Doesn't Do

• It won't make the coffee for you. Sorry, lazybones.
• Doesn't clean itself. It's not your mother.
• Won't turn water into coffee. This isn't Hogwarts.
• It won't fit in your pocket. It's not a smartphone.

Tech Specs

• Two brew strengths: Classic and Rich. Choose your mood.
• 60 oz. removable water reservoir. Less sink, more sip.
• Thermal Flavor Extraction. Fancy words for tasty coffee.
• Mid-Brew Pause. Because waiting is for chumps.

Who It's For

For those who think barista is a lifestyle choice, this machine will make you feel like you're one apron away from Starbucks fame. The impatient caffeine enthusiast will appreciate the Mid-Brew Pause, because waiting is only fun when you're watching paint dry. For the sleep-deprived parent who needs coffee as much as a toddler needs attention, this machine is the closest thing to a reliable co-parent. It won’t sing lullabies, but it’ll keep you awake enough to try.
