FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE

For best results, use the below measurements of ground coffee
for each size brew–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.

DRIP STOP

NOTE: If the Drip Stop is closed before you begin a
brew, the brewer will notify you with 5 beeps and
the Drip Stop light will be illuminated. Set the Drip
Stop to the open position and select your brew
concentration level.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP TO BE READY?
When brewing a carafe, close the Drip Stop to pause the
brew cycle and pour a cup. Remember to reopen the Drip
Stop to complete the brew. (Fig. 17)
NOTE: If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the Ninja Coffee Bar
will pause the brew, and after 20 seconds it will give you a friendly
audible reminder. After 6 minutes the brew will be canceled.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAST FEW DROPS?
When the brew cycle is complete, set the Drip Stop to the
closed position to stop dripping from the brew basket.
NOTE: While the Drip Stop is closed the Drip Stop indicator will
light up in the bottom right hand corner of the control panel.
NOTE: Remember to open the Drip Stop when you're ready
to brew again. If you forget, your Ninja Coffee Bar will give
you a friendly audible reminder.

BREWING COFFEE

NOTE: Each brew has a pre-infusion cycle with varying
times. 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.
NOTE: For a hotter coffee, rinse the coffee cup, mug or 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
Fig. 19
vessel will cause an overflow.
CUSTOM BREWS: CLASSIC, RICH OR OVER ICE BREW
Classic Brew - For a smooth, balanced flavor.
Rich Brew - For a coffee that is richer than Classic Brew
and still smooth, with more room for milk and cream.
1 After filling the water reservoir and adding ground coffee
to the filter, be sure that the Drip Stop is open and the
reservoir, basket, and filter are securely in place.
2
Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the size of coffee you
would like to brew. Place the empty vessel that you
would like to brew into underneath the brew basket.
®
NOTE: If making a single cup, lower the Multi-Serve
Cup Platform down and center the cup or mug on the
platform. Please ensure that you are using at least a 12
oz. cup for the cup size, 14 oz. cup for the tall cup size,
16 oz. travel mug for the travel mug size and 20 oz.
travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size.
3 Press the CLASSIC BREW or the RICH BREW button
and the brew will begin. (Fig. 18, Fig. 19) Press the
CLASSIC BREW or RICH BREW button again to cancel
the brew.
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.
NOTE: Do not remove water reservoir, brew basket, or
vessel while brewing.
4 The Ninja Coffee Bar will beep to signal a completed brew.
NOTE: Rich Brew will use slightly less water and yield
slightly less brewed coffee than Classic Brew.
