This brand is totally new in this market, yet it has successfully introduced us to quality coffee machines. A few machines have been launched, and none are better than the others. In this article, I will introduce you to the Ninja CP307 coffee machine.
Ninja CP307 Overview
The Ninja CP307 machine is average in size and very well designed. This machine has a folded milk frother, a water tank and 2 different baskets for tea-coffee. It displays 5 kinds of drink options.
Besides this, cup options are also available, which means that you can brew a single cup of drink or multiple cups of drink. This machine also comes with a thermal carafe that can keep your drinks warm for a couple of hours.
Ninja CP307 Features
The Ninja CP307 has included features thoughtfully. In addition to adding the key features, the way they were placed seemed really convenient to me.
Key Features
In this section, I discussed all the basic features.
Material
It is mainly made of plastics. But it doesn’t look less glossy or sleek than other machines built with stainless steel. But the thermal carafe of this machine has 8s made of stainless steel.
Size
This machine is 10.1 inches deep, 11.81 inches wide, and 15 inches high.
Weight
The Ninja CP307 machine is quite lightweight because of its plastic build. It weighs only 11.73 pounds (approximately).
Colors
This is a limitation of this machine. The only option is black.
Hot and Cold Brew
It is one of the best features in this drip coffee machine. Unlike other machines, it can brew both cold and hot drinks.
A Water Tank
There is a water tank with an auto-metering system. This tank can hold about 50 oz of water. It is also easily removable.
Fold Away Frother
This machine includes a fold-away frother. It is removable and washable and can create good froth.
Both cold and hot milk can be frothed by this frothing machine.
A Stainless Steel Carafe
It is quite a big carafe and can hold 10 cups of drinks. It is basically made to keep the drinks hot for up to 2 hours, so any warming plate won’t be needed to keep the drink hot in this case.
Separate Baskets For Coffee & Tea
By using this machine, tea and coffee can both be made. To prepare these drinks, different baskets are provided by this brand. It keeps the flavors separate from mixing.
6 Brew Cup Sizes

This scoop also comes with the machine. It has measurements written on it and is attached to the machine.

The Ninja CP307 coffee machine has a clean button that is used for descaling. When the machine needs to be cleaned, the clean light turns into an orange colour. That indicates that the machine is facing problems and it needs to be cleaned.
Dishwasher Safe Components
Some parts of the machines are easily removable and dishwasher safe, such as the lid, frother, baskets, etc. After going through the guidebook, anyone would find it easy.
Unique Features
Here, I discussed the features that seemed interesting and special to me.
Tea Type Customization
Tea lovers will be happy to see this feature included. This system allows you to select tea types like – herbal, black, green, etc. It also adjusts the temperature by itself as per the brewing style.
Smart Basket Recognition
This system is automatic, and it recognizes the things that are in the basket. After recognition, it displays tea or coffee options.

This feature makes the process easy during brewing time. Only one touch is needed when the coffee or tea types are selected, and the rest of the machine does the rest. It customizes the temperature and other things according to the selected drink type.

My Review About Ninja CP307 Machine
I love drinking tea and coffee, and after seeing the machine that offers these two drinks with customizations, I couldn’t wait to try it. In this review, I explained it into two parts. In one part, I described the things I liked, and in the other part, I described what would be better if they were improved.
Things I liked
After getting the machine, I washed it with running water to make sure it was cleaned properly. Then, I started by setting the basket. Putting the basket into the filter was easy, and the filter had a sliding mechanism.
So, it is easy to move this filter, but it is not removable. I put the coffee basket in and tried a single cup of coffee. As it has no grinder, I put the ground coffee beans in the basket.
After that, the machine automatically recognized the ingredients and showed the coffee brewing options on the screen. I chose the “rich” one and waited to brew it. It took 4 minutes (approximately) to brew me a cup of coffee.
This drink was supposed to be hot.Because there is a different option of cold brew.I took a sip, and my mouth was full of flavors. It brewed a decent cup of coffee.
I also tried the cold brew one after that, and the result was the same. I love that consistency. Then, I placed the tea basket into the machine and added tea leaves.
The machine recognized it as tea and showed me the tea brewing options. I selected the black one. The output it gave was also really good.
I also tried using different cup sizes, but the flavors were still the same, which was a good thing. Then, it was time to check the frother. The frother looks kind of like a hand blender.
It is not like a steam wand but looks like an electrical frother. I tried the full-cream to create the froth and the result was amazing. It created nice, silky, and smooth foam.
Again, it was a frother, not a steam wand. After trying the cold milk and the steamed milk with the frother, the results were equally good.
Things can be improved
Okay, I may have faced the same situation as others. If you guessed it already, then yes, I also faced the water-leaking situation. The water tank seemed to be very decent to me, but it started leaking.
Another thing is that the coffee tasted good—it definitely did—but while brewing the hot coffee, it wasn’t warm enough. Besides these two major things, all the features were really good. At least I got everything I expected from this machine.
Cleaning Process
Cleaning is also easy. Some parts are removable and washable, like baskets, lids, etc., can be removed and placed in the dishwasher to be washed. But the carafe, the frother, and the water tank must be washed by hand.
As for cleaning it internally, all you have to do is mix the descaling tablet or the solution in the water tank and fill it with water. Then, put it on, and it will be cleaned by itself. The machine will alarm you about cleaning time.
FAQs
Can I use coffee pods in Ninja CP307?
No, you can not use any pods. As it comes with baskets, only loose grinds and tea leaves can be used. Bagged leaves can also be an option to brew a drink.
Can I set a specific time to prepare coffee?
Yes, you can. A feature is available in this machine where you can set specific time.
Why is my Ninja coffee machine not working?
It can happen because of common issues, such as clogged baskets, sediment in the water, or not having the right amount of water.
Conclusion
The Ninja CP307 is undoubtedly a versatile machine. One can brew tea and coffee easily by using this. It is automatic and very easy to use.
Also, some parts are removable and washable, making cleaning easier. Besides these, the quality of drinks is also good, but it still deals with issues with water tanks. So, if you are looking for a multifunctional machine like this that can brew and give options about drink types then this will be absolutely hood for you.
