Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker
Score: 83/100Rankings
The BUNN GRB Velocity Brew is a commercial-grade 10-cup drip coffee maker that delivers café-quality coffee in just three minutes. Its trade-offs include a lack of programmable features and auxiliary accessories like a milk frother. Ideal for busy households or small offices that prioritize speed and consistent flavor.
The Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker delivers versatile brewing with fast Cold Brew and multiple brew styles, excelling in flexibility and pod-free operation. Its built-in frother is under-powered and the unit occupies a sizable countertop space. Ideal for coffee enthusiasts who value speed and variety over compactness.

Professional reviewers highlight the GRB Velocity Brew as a restaurant-quality machine brought to the home market, emphasizing its commercial-grade internal hot-water reservoir, precise 200 °F brewing temperature, and spray-head design that together deliver fast, consistent, café-standard coffee.
Everyday users consistently commend the machine for its lightning-fast three-minute brew time, the high quality of the coffee it produces, and the flexibility to brew partial pots, noting that the internal hot-water reservoir eliminates any warm-up lag.
“brews a full pot in less than half the time of other top-selling home coffee makers”
“love cold brew but hate how long it takes”
Professional reviewers commend the Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker for its rapid 10-minute Cold Brew, four distinct brew styles, and pod-free flexibility that reduces waste. They also appreciate the even-saturation showerhead and Thermal Flavor Extraction that enhance flavor consistency, though they note the built-in frother's limited heat and the warming plate's auto-off as drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently praise the quick Cold Brew, bold iced coffee, and the ability to switch between single-serve and full-carafe brewing without measuring. Common complaints focus on the frother's insufficient heat, the need to re-warm the carafe after auto-off, and the bulkier footprint of larger models.
