Ninja Fresh Brew
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ninja Fresh Brew™ CE451 is a 14-cup programmable drip coffee maker praised for its large removable reservoir and versatile brewing options. Its main trade-offs are the lack of a built-in grinder and occasional carafe spillage. Ideal for families or offices that need flexible batch sizes and scheduling.
The Keurig K-Elite is a single-serve pod brewer with a sizable water reservoir, temperature and strength controls, and an iced-coffee setting, offering extensive customization for hot and cold drinks. Its plastic build and scaling issues can affect long-term reliability, though the feature set is strong for its class. Best for users who value brew flexibility and a large tank in a countertop-friendly footprint.
