What’s your favorite specialty coffee? I have to say, I’m predictable and can always be counted on to order a PSL no matter the time of year.

It’s one of the most popular drinks, and one of my favorite Ninja Coffee Bar recipes, and you can find it on the menu at just about every coffee shop in town… in October.

But what happens when you’d like a Pumpkin Spice Latte sometime in the year when it’s not October? Or when you just want to enjoy a PSL in your yoga pants at home!

You become your own barista with this amazing at home coffee brewer – the Ninja Coffee Bar.

When my husband saw another coffee brewer on our counter the morning after the Ninja Coffee Brewer showed up on our doorstep, he rolled his eyes. “Why on Earth do we need another coffee maker? We already have one.”

I replied with, “Oh, just you wait!” You see, I had read all about this machine and knew exactly what it could do [and all those Ninja coffee bar recipes swirling in my head] and how I was pretty sure it would replace our love for our single-cup coffee maker very fast.

The Ninja Coffee Bar has completely transformed our coffee habits in the totally best ways possible AND now hubby admits that it’s his favorite way to enjoy coffee.

Here’s what we love about the Ninja Coffee Bar:

First, the Ninja Coffee Bar actually replaced our single-cup machine because it can do just that… make a single cup of coffee. Auto-iQ™ One Touch Intelligence Technology delivers customizable options without guessing how much water to add each time, for smooth, rich coffee in a cup, travel mug or carafe.

The Ninja Specialty Coffee Maker has 4 brew settings:

Classic
Rich
Brew Over Ice
Speciality

With these 4 brew settings, you get the exact intensity of coffee that you desire. I’ve found that by brewing a Rich Brew, I can use less coffee [just 2 scoops] which makes our coffee habit easier on our grocery budget.

When this post was originally in 2015, the Ninja Coffee Bar was brand new. The latest version of this specialty coffee maker looks amazing and I am thinking it’s about time for an upgrade for my kitchen.

While some of the functions and buttons are a little different, it still performs the same and you can make any specialty coffee at home!

The Ninja Coffee Bar makes fabulous coffee, but it’s the extras that this machine provides that really makes it the best machine choice for us. It does so much more than just make coffee.

Can you make cold brew with the Ninja Coffee Bar?

One of the best upgrades, in my opinion, is the ability to make cold brew in your Ninja Coffee Bar in just 10 minutes! Cold brew is quickly becoming my go-to drink order and to be able to make it at home would be amazing!

The Ninja Coffee Bar recipes booklet, that comes with your new speciality coffee brewer, shows the vast array of drinks [both hot and cold] that you can make right at home.

DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte - Ninja Coffee Bar Recipes at Home with ninja easy frother

I make a lot of great Ninja coffee bar recipes, but I’ve already told you that one of my favorites is the perfect Pumpkin Spice Latte! And it just happens to be made perfect because of the Ninja Easy Frother™!

While the Ninja Easy Frother was replaced by a built-in frother in the latest model, I’m telling you – it is the greatest thing that has ever happened for at-home coffee. And you can still get them on Amazon for under $20 if your built-in isn’t cutting it.

It’s really easy to use the Ninja Easy Frother too! You fill the glass frother with milk, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in the microwave for 1 minute. Then, pump the frother, and pour it right into your Speciality Brew!

How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home

Ingredients:

3 Ninja Single Serve Scoops [3 tbsp] ground coffee
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

white cup of coffee with pumpkin and cinnamon sticks

Instructions:

Brew your coffee in your Ninja Coffee Bar choosing the Specialty Brew.

When brew is complete, gently pour frothed mixture over brewed coffee. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice for garnish.

A Pumpkin Spice Latte is one of my favorite specialty coffees to make at home, but there’s so much more you can do with this machine. And really, they are all very similar but the ingredients simply vary.

How to make Cappuccino in a Ninja Coffee Bar

A cappuccino is a really simple coffee drink to make at home, especially when you have a coffeemaker like this one that can do it all!

A cappuccino is essentially a drink made up of 3 things in equal parts – espresso, steamed milk, and topped with milk foam.

Simple Ninja Iced Coffee Recipe:

The Ninja makes it so simply to enjoy an iced coffee at home too. The brew settings contain an “Over Ice” brew which is stronger than a normal brew. Simply fill your cup of ice and choose this setting.

There’s always variations you can make with iced coffee recipes. You’ll find a ton of different recipes below.
