Ninja Pods & Grounds Specialty Coffee Maker — Stone

Product description

The Stone PB051ST makes sense when coffee is prepared one cup at a time, especially if household members prefer different beans or use pods only occasionally. Its permanent filter lets you use ground coffee, while the pod adapter provides the alternative format. The body is 5.59 inches wide, and the adjustable tray accommodates mugs up to eight inches tall, making the space around a travel cup an important part of planning the setup.

Grounds and pods do not share the same maximum serving size. Loose-coffee settings reach 24 fl oz, while pod settings stop at 12 fl oz; choose the format before deciding how large a drink to brew. Specialty provides a concentrated coffee base for milk drinks. The included frother can texture milk, but you must warm the milk separately for a hot latte. That additional step matters if you are comparing this brewer with a machine that has a steam wand.
