Ninja Coffee Maker System Black 10-Cup Drip Coffee Maker

I judge new electronic products generally by easy they are to set up without reading any of the directions, before hand. Can I just take it out of the box, set it up and turn it on and just go? With the NINJA coffee brewer that's a big yes! Most coffee machines are just plug and turn on however when you get into modern brew stations there sometimes tend to be so many buttons and options it can become confusing but with the NINJA you literally can take it out of the box set it up, plug it in.. and turn it on.. put water into the reservoir. Put coffee into the filter, Select size select brew strength and start .. in seconds it begins to brew .. coffee comes out very quickly less than a min. Strong and bold for a full carafe.. the carafe is stylish and the brew station is sleek and modern simple and easy to use and quite compact. Looks great sitting out. No need to hide away, out of view. But I wish I had read the directions apparently they suggest running 2 full carafes of plain water to "season" the new station? Whatever that means. I know you need to "season" cast iron before using.. don't know why they suggest seasoning a coffee machine before using ? Unless there are some dusty dirty interan parts the need seasoning first .. that was odd .. but yeah .. it needs seasoning.. cause my first cup was a bit off tasting .. so I hope it's not too late to season it, now .. this model does not come with a reusable permanent stainless steel filter but does come with a few paper ones. Although it seems you can buy a stainless steel filter through the company. It uses the cone shape style filters. By the way. In case you were wondering? This model also comes with a double sided easy to read measuring coffee scoop. Showing how many and which size of scoops of coffee you will need for the size of coffee output you want .. this model also has a flip out shelf to fill coffee straight into a cup.. straight from the machine so no need to dirty the entire carafe or no need to brew an entire Pot if all you want is just one hot cup, or a travel mug.. travel mug not included but you can also fill your travel mug straight from the brew station as well. The size selection on this brew station are. Single cup, travel mug, half carafe or full carafe..
