HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?

CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at least a 12 oz. cup for the Cup size, 14 oz. cup for the XL Cup

size, 16 oz. travel mug for the Travel Mug size and 20 oz. travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size to prevent

overﬂow and a scalding injury.

Each size and brew type produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength, taste, and size.

NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coffee than water used.

Why is there a

difference?

A cold ceramic

from the coffee as

it warms itself up.

If the mug is

already warm, it

will not steal as

much heat from

the coffee.

Just like your

cold mug, cold

milk lowers the

your coffee.

The Ninja

double wall cup is

designed to retain

initial coffee temp

better than a

ceramic cup.

Unlike a ceramic

mug, a thinner

paper cup

does not steal

substantial heat

from the coffee.

WOULD YOU LIKE A HOTTER COFFEE?

Have you ever wondered why coffee is served in paper cups when you order it to go? The type of cup you brew into can

drastically inﬂuence the drinking temperature.

FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE

For best results, use the measurements recommended in

the chart to determine how much ground coffee to use for

each brew size. The amount of ground coffee for each size

will remain the same for any brew type that you select. For

example, if you select Cup and Classic Brew, you will use

the same amount of coffee grounds as if you select Cup and

Over Ice Brew.

CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground

coffee is 12 rounded tablespoons or 6 Ninja

®

Big Scoops. Exceeding this amount or using ﬁne

ground coffee may cause overﬂow.

1 Open the brew basket by sliding it out of the brewer.

(Fig. 14)

NOTE: Check for any loose grounds that may be left in

the brew basket. Remove and rinse the brew basket if

needed.

2 Place the permanent ﬁlter or a #4 paper cone ﬁlter in

the brew basket. If using a paper ﬁlter, ﬁrst ensure the

permanent ﬁlter is removed from the brew basket. Then

fold a #4 paper cone ﬁlter along the seams and insert

ﬁrmly into the brew basket. (Fig. 15)

3 Use the Ninja Scoop and follow the measurements

in the chart to ﬁll the ﬁlter. These measurements are

based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste.

(Fig. 16) We suggest using a medium grind size if

grinding whole beans.

thermal carafe with hot water prior to brewing.

CAUTION: Ensure the coffee cup, mug or thermal

carafe is completely empty before starting a brewing

cycle. Starting a brewing cycle with coffee in the

vessel will cause an overﬂow.

CAUTION: HOT WATER. Do not remove the brew basket or vessel while brewing.

CAUTION: STEAM. Do not touch steam vents or the top of the brewer while brewing.

CAUTION: The brew basket is hot after brewing. Always allow the brewer to cool down before cleaning.

more or less milk depending on your preference.)

Microwave for 45-60 seconds for hot milk.

2 Move the frother into the ready position by swinging the

arm toward the front.

3 Hold cup under the frother and submerge the whisk just

below the surface of the milk. This allows air to fold into

the milk, for the frothiest results. (Fig. 23)

4 Press and hold the frothing button for 30 to 45

seconds. (Fig. 24)

5 You can easily remove the frother whisk by twisting it

clockwise. Keep your cup below the whisk and carry it

to your sink or dishwasher for cleaning. (Fig. 25)

CAUTION: DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth during brewing. Steam is released from vent on top of

brewer and can result in a steam burn.

Care & Maintenance

CLEANING AFTER A BREW

CAUTION: Make sure that the brewer is

unplugged from the power source before

cleaning.

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before cleaning.

NOTE: Do not leave coffee in the thermal carafe

for an extended period of time after a brew.

NOTE: Do not leave water in or underneath the

water reservoir unused for multiple days. Rinse

and replace with fresh water.

1 Before cleaning, close the Drip Stop.

2 After each brew is complete and the coffee grounds

have cooled, carefully remove the permanent ﬁlter and

wash. If using a paper ﬁlter, simply discard. Remove

brew basket from the brewer, rinse and wash with soap

and warm water.

3 After each froth, rinse thoroughly or place the frother

whisk on top rack of dishwasher.

NOTE: The swinging brew basket and thermal

carafe are not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: The ﬂip-top reservoir lid is not dishwasher

safe.

NOTE: If coffee grounds spilled over into the brew

basket or in the overﬂow channels, remove and rinse

under water until grounds are removed.

4 Wash the thermal carafe and brew-through lid with

soap and warm water. Use a bottle brush or a cloth to

wash the inside of the carafe.

NOTE: The brew-through lid, permanent ﬁlter and

water reservoir are top shelf dishwasher safe.

5 Wipe machine down with a warm cloth with soap and

water to clean the shower head, the water reservoir

shelf, the water reservoir, ﬂip-top water reservoir lid,

the removable ﬁlter carrier and Filter Carrier Insert Do

not immerse the base in water.

NOTE: For best results, use a bottle brush. This will

allow you to scrub all of the inside with soap and hot

water.

CLEANING YOUR THERMAL CARAFE

We recommend rinsing your carafe with

warm soapy water.

NOTE: Do not place the thermal

carafe in the dishwasher.

If you want to clean the carafe more

thoroughly, we recommend using a soft

foam brush such as the one shown.

CLEANING YOUR WATER RESERVOIR

CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREWING

SYSTEM

CAUTION: Be sure to allow the brewer to cool

before wiping down any surface for cleaning.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the coffeemaker into

water or any other liquid.

CAUTION: DO NOT place the thermal carafe in the

dishwasher.

NOTE: Pressing the CLEAN button again during the

clean cycle will cause the machine to brew through all

remaining cleaning solution; however, your machine will

not be properly descaled.

The CLEAN button will illuminate when a cleaning cycle

is recommended for your Ninja Coffee Bar

®

, as calcium

scale buildup could be affecting the ﬂavor of your

coffee. If you do not clean your brewer when instructed

to do so, eventually the CLEAN light will ﬂash and an

urgent “CLn” message will appear on the clock display.

The cleaning cycle is a 2-stage process. The reservoir

is ﬁrst ﬁlled with a cleaning solution and later with clean

water to ﬂush the system.

To clean and descale your Ninja Coffee Bar:

1 Select the Full Carafe size and set the empty carafe

beneath the brew basket.

2 (Recommended) Use a descaling solution speciﬁcally

formulated for coffeemaker cleaning and follow the

directions on the package. Fill the water reservoir up to,

but not exceeding, the Max Fill line (50 oz.).

OR

Fill the water reservoir to the Travel Mug line (16 oz.)

with white vinegar, then ﬁll the rest of the reservoir with

water up to, but not exceeding the Max Fill line (50 oz.).

IMPORTANT: Use only white vinegar.

3 Once the water reservoir is ﬁlled with your cleaning

solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button.

(Fig. 26)

4 A 1-hour timer on the clock display counts down the

remaining clean cycle time, ﬂashing between the

remaining time and “CLn”. Your Ninja Coffee Bar will

deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute

it through the system. It will then pause for a half an

hour, deliver additional cleaning solution, and pause for

another half hour.

CAUTION: DO NOT remove carafe at any time

throughout the clean cycle. DO NOT press any

buttons during this 1-hour period, as this will

cancel all progress of the cleaning.

5 After one hour, your Ninja Coffee Bar will discharge the

remainder of the cleaning mixture into the carafe. Upon

completion, the Ninja Coffee Bar will beep, and a ﬂush

message (“FLUS”/“LUSH”) will appear on the clock

screen for a 15 minute timeframe.

6 Empty and thoroughly clean the carafe and water

reservoir by following the cleaning instructions in the

Care & Maintenance section of this Owner’s Guide.

This removes any cleaning solution that could affect the

ﬂavor of your coffee.

7 Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not

exceeding, the Max Fill line (50 oz.) and set the empty

carafe beneath the brew basket.

8 Within the 15 minute timeframe, and while the clock

display reads “FLUS”/“LUSH”, press the CLEAN button

once to begin the Flush stage. The Flush stage takes

approximately 8 minutes.

NOTE: If you miss the 15 minute Flush message on the

clock display, or the CLEAN button was pressed twice

during this timeframe canceling the Flush stage, run

a Full Carafe, Classic Brew cycle with water only (no

coffee grounds) to rinse any residual descaling solution

out of your machine.

9 Upon completion of the Flush stage, the CLEAN light

will turn off. Discard the water in the carafe, and

thoroughly clean it to remove any cleaning solution that

could affect the ﬂavor of your coffee.

NOTE: If taste remains affected by cleaning solution,

please run a Full Carafe, Classic Brew with water only

(no coffee grounds).

NOTE: If the CLEAN light illuminates again, then

calcium scale buildup is still present. Repeat the steps

above and the CLEAN light will automatically shut off

when your brewer is clean.

Please call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288 to

purchase descaling solution or if the brewer needs any

servicing.

Troubleshooting Guide

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS

Sediment in my coffee.

If there is sediment at the bottom of the brewed coffee, this may be due to using ﬁnely ground

coffee in the permanent ﬁlter.

To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee use a slightly coarser grind or use a paper

ﬁlter.

Grounds in my coffee.

If there are grounds in your coffee, check to make sure the brew basket did not overﬂow.

If there are too many grounds in the brew basket, or you are using a ﬁne ground coffee, the

grounds will ﬂow into an overﬂow channel designed to make sure overﬂow is captured in the brew

vessel. For best results use medium ground coffee in the recommended measurements.

Brew basket dripping

after brew.

Check to see if the Drip Stop toggle is set to the closed, no-drip position.

If the Drip Stop is set to the closed, no drip position and the brewer continues to drip, run a Clean

Cycle or wash the brew basket thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

Paper ﬁlter falling

over.

The Ninja Coffee Bar

®

is designed to take a #4 cone ﬁlter. Be sure you are using this size and shape

for best results.

Be sure the paper ﬁlter is ﬁrmly pressed into the brew basket.

Wet the corners of the ﬁlter for best results.

If problem persists, try using the permanent ﬁlter.

Coffee is not hot

enough.

To keep your coffee hotter longer, pre-heat your mug or carafe by rinsing it with hot water from the

tap.

If using a microwave safe mug with cream or milk, try pre-heating the cream or milk in the

microwave for 30 seconds.

NOTE: Never place carafe in the microwave.

Over Ice Brew is not

cold.

The Over Ice Brew is designed to brew hot coffee over ice to lock in the ﬂavor for rich, smooth iced

coffee. Make sure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is ﬁlled all the way to the top with ice cubes.

Weak coffee.

If the coffee tastes weak, try adding more coffee grounds into the brew basket for the next brew

cycle.

If the coffee is still weak after adding more coffee grounds, try Rich Brew to make a stronger, more

concentrated cup.

Coffee too strong.

Try using a coarser grind.

If the coffee is still too strong, try using less coffee grounds.

Brew will not start.

Make sure the Power Button light is illuminated. Check to make sure the brewer is plugged in and

water is in the water reservoir.

If the Drip Stop is in the open position, check that the brew basket is pushed all the way into the

brewer.

If you hear 5 beeps, check that the Drip Stop is in the open position.

NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for a short period of time before it begins again. This

process is used to evenly saturate your coffee grounds.

Brew cycle is too slow.

A carafe brew will take approximately 8 minutes and the single cup will take approximately 4

minutes.

If the brew cycle is taking longer than normal, run the Clean Cycle with the descaling solution.
