Preparing for Use

cool, filtered water. Do not fill water reservoir with any other liquids such as brewed coffee, carbonated
beverages, etc. as other liquids may damage your brewer.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
1 For easy filling, remove the water reservoir by slightly twisting
counterclockwise until it is free from the brewer. (Fig. 10)
2 Either flip the lid top over or remove lid by twisting
counterclockwise to remove. (Fig. 11a, Fig. 11b)
NOTE: The water reservoir and water reservoir lid can lock in
multiple locations.
3 For best results, fill the water reservoir with fresh, cool,
filtered water. Ensure that the water is above the
minimum fill line for the brew size that is selected. Do
not exceed the Max Fill line. The machine's intelligence
will automatically measure the amount of water needed.
To avoid refilling after each cup, fill to the carafe line.
NOTE: Do not fill past the Max Fill line or water will
begin to overflow from the overflow hole at the top of
the hand grip. Remove the water reservoir from the
brewer and empty to the Max Fill line.
Depending on the size and brew type, you may have
water left in the reservoir.
4
Place the water reservoir back on the brewer and twist
clockwise until you feel the reservoir lock into place.
5 Place the vessel that you would like to brew into underneath
the brew basket–ensure that the vessel is centered under the
brew basket. (Fig. 12)
NOTE: After removing the water reservoir, there may be a
small amount of water in the reservoir valve. This can be
easily removed with a dry cloth.

HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?
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.
CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at
least a 12 oz. cup for the cup size and a 16 oz. travel
mug for the travel mug size.

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 Specialty Brew.
CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground coffee
is 12 rounded tablespoons or 6 Ninja Carafe Scoops.
Exceeding this amount or using fine ground coffee
may cause overflow.
1 Open the brew basket by sliding the brew basket out of the
brewer. (Fig. 13)
NOTE: The brew basket can be removed from the brewer by
lifting the brew basket at a slight upward angle (similar to a
cabinet drawer).
NOTE: Check for any loose grounds that may be left in the
brew basket. Remove and rinse brew basket if needed.
2 Place the permanent filter or a #4 paper cone filter in
the brew basket. If using a paper cone filter, remove the
permanent filter, fold along the seams, open it fully, and
firmly press it into the brew basket making sure that it is fully
seated. (Fig. 14)
