Last call for Prime Day: Score Yahoo's favorite coffee maker at its lowest price ever
What's all the buzz about? The Ninja DualBrew Pro is one of the best single-serve and iced-coffee makers we've tested and it's $80 off right now!
We could all stand to save a little money these days, and cutting back on your coffee shop runs is a good way to make that happen. But hey, we said it's good, not necessarily easy. I certainly don't want to give up my daily cup(s) of coffee. I do, however, love the idea of making at least some of them at home.
That's where the Ninja DualBrew Pro comes into play. This nifty machine makes every type of brew you could image — iced coffee, lattes (it has a built-in milk frother), carafes of drip coffee, single servings using pods — and it's actually fun to use. I recently tested more than a dozen machines and named the DualBrew Pro one of the best single-serve coffee makers of 2024. And now it's at its lowest price ever for Amazon Prime Day.
Last call: This impressive Ninja coffee maker is 33% off for just a little longer!
Why is it a good Prime Day deal? ??
I've always thought the DualBrew Pro was worth full price because it can make so many drinks. It's basically a drip coffee maker, single-cup coffee maker, latte maker, iced coffee maker and tea kettle all in one compact package. And right now this version of the machine, which includes a resuable filter for brewing grounds (no more paper filters!) is 33% off, bringing it to the lowest price we've ever seen.
Why do I need this? ??
If you're in the market for a new coffee maker, the DualBrew Pro is a smart choice because it can handle nearly any kind of task you throw at it. It includes a scoop for grounds, a built-in milk frother, a 12-cup drip coffee carafe with a warming plate and a separate hot water spout. And the display "feels fancy and fun!" says Yahoo's home writer Kristin Granero. (I agree with her!)
In my review, I was especially impressed with how easy the machine is to operate right out of the box, thanks to stickers that tell you how to use each component. I also liked the 60-ounce water tank, which can swing from the side to the back of the machine so you can adjust it based on your space.
When it came to making iced coffee, Granero says, "It had the fastest brew time (94 seconds for 12 oz.) and best coffee integrity (the least ice melt, with the strength of what you’d see at a bougie coffee shop) of any other iced coffee maker I tried."
What reviewers say ??
More than 10,600 Amazon shoppers have given this coffee maker a five-star review.
Pros ??
One fan called it a "win-win" for their household, explaining, "We wanted to save money on coffee this year so we invested in this bad boy and it did not disappoint. I use it for iced coffee and K-cups, and my husband likes to make an entire pot or a cappuccino. You can switch between all the settings with ease and it's a super fast brew."
"This machine is well-built and if you use it every day, you will see that the quality does not change," wrote another.
And this shopper said, "I love the versatility of this machine. Takes up less space than having a single brew and a traditional brew machine. It looks taller than a regular coffee maker, so bear that in mind when purchasing."
Cons ??
Personally, I had a few minor gripes with this machine: It emits five high-pitched beeps when it's done brewing, which seemed unnecessary, and it has numerous components, so it can be a pain to take apart and clean. It also took me a bit of tinkering to understand how to use the adapter that lets you brew K-cups in this machine. But once I figured it out, it was quick going.
"I like the quality of this coffee maker, but if you use the pods on a regular basis like I do, its a pain to switch out the components," wrote one shopper.
"The only issue I have with it is if the coffee sits in the pot for a while, it leaves a sediment on the sides of the pot," said another. "But I just throw in the dishwasher and have no problems."
If you're looking to cut down on your Starbucks runs, this machine may be the answer.
