Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System CP307 is a full-fledged drip coffee maker with a cold-brew mode. It performs well across the board, especially when it comes to convenience, earning an Excellent rating in that test. It uses an insulated stainless steel carafe and makes cold brew in 18 to 20 minutes. We also tested it as a standard drip coffee maker, and it receives strong scores in all of those tests, too. If you want to bounce back and forth between hot and cold brewing, this could be a great option.

CR’s take: Ninja recently one-upped its Coffee Bar models with this Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System CP307. The new model adds the ability to brew tea and cold-brew coffee. (Note that it makes cold brew in about 15 minutes, but our testers found it comes out lukewarm, not cold.) Its brew performance isn’t as good as the Ninja Specialty CM401 below, but its thermal carafe handles just as well. Bottom line: If you want the extras of cold brew and tea brewing, go for this machine. If not, you’ll get everything you need in the slightly lower-priced Ninja Specialty CM401.
