Ninja Hot & Iced XL Coffee Maker (CM371)

As of August 1, 2026, the Ninja CM371 Hot & Iced XL is live in our daily coffee-maker tracker, and the table above holds its current store-by-store price, refreshed every day. It is the volume-and-cold-brew sibling to the frother-equipped CM401: bigger batches, a rapid cold-brew style, no built-in frother. A plain price verdict lands after 30 days of recorded history, by the rules on our methodology page; until then the status reads building history.

Price context

The CM371 sits in the busy sub-$160 drip band, where short store promotions are frequent and easy to mistake for real markdowns. Across our tracked stores the spread already shows it: the same machine can differ by twenty dollars on any given day. Daily tracking is what turns that noise into a signal, and once this page has 30 days of record it will call today’s number plainly: real deal, typical, or inflated, about the price and only the price.

What to check before buying

Confirm the exact model code, because the Hot & Iced line spans several near-identical names and listings blur them. Decide whether cold brew matters to you: that style is the CM371’s main draw over a plain drip machine, and if you never drink it you may be paying for a feature you will not press. Check the carafe material and that it is included, since a replacement glass carafe costs a real share of the machine’s price.

Which Hot & Iced model this is

Ninja sells several near-identical Hot & Iced machines, and the code on the box decides features more than the marketing name does. The CM371 is the XL glass-carafe unit with the rapid cold-brew style; older CM3-series codes drop cold brew or use a smaller carafe, and the specialty CM401 adds a fold-away frother the CM371 does not have. Match the exact code before comparing prices, because a Hot & Iced listing ten dollars cheaper is often a different machine with one feature removed.

What rapid cold brew is worth

The cold-brew style is the CM371’s main reason to exist over a plain drip maker. It produces a concentrate in minutes rather than the eight to twelve hours a steeping jar needs, using a stronger grind-to-water setting so melting ice does not thin it. If you drink cold brew even weekly, that convenience is where the extra money goes; if you never do, you are paying for a mode you will not press, and a simpler programmable drip machine is the honest buy.

Carafe and cleaning realities

The glass carafe is the part most likely to break and the one that decides long-term cost, because a replacement carafe for a specific Ninja code runs a real share of the machine’s price. The permanent filter removes paper cost but needs regular rinsing, and the frother-free design leaves fewer parts to wash than the specialty models. Descale on the schedule the manual states; hard water is the usual reason these machines slow before anything mechanical actually fails.

Who it’s for

• Iced and cold-brew drinkers who want both from one machine without a separate cold-brew jug.
• Larger households: the XL carafe suits batch mornings better than a single-serve setup.
• Buyers who want ground-coffee simplicity and no pod costs.

Who it’s not for

• You want milk drinks: this model has no frother; the CM401 adds one.
• You want coffee waiting at a set time: check the programmable CE251 route instead.
• Single-cup-only households: the XL carafe is more machine than you need.
