BREW VOLUMES & MEASUREMENTS

HOW MUCH DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?

Each size and brew style produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength and taste�
APPROXIMATE BREW VOLUMES
Size Classic
Cup 9�5 oz�
XL Cup
11�5 oz�
Travel Mug 14 oz�
XL Multi-Serve 18 oz�
You don't need to adjust the size for Specialty Brew—it always yields approximately 4 oz�
NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly
less brewed coffee than water used�
NOTE: There may be some water left in the reservoir after your brew� This is normal to
keep the brewer from running out of water�
NOTE: Brew volumes may be slightly larger or smaller than what is stated due to various
factors in the system�

MEASURING YOUR COFFEE GROUNDS

For best results, use the measurements on
the Ninja Smart Scoop™ or in the chart to
the right 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 you select� For
example, if you select Cup and CLASSIC,
you will use the same amount of coffee
grounds as if you select Cup and OVER ICE�
NOTE: Measurements are based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste� More
scoops result in stronger coffee but slightly lower volumes, fewer scoops result in weaker
coffee and slightly higher volumes� Use a medium-sized grind if grinding whole beans�
Grinding beans too finely may cause the brew basket to overflow�
NOTE: Decaffeinated coffee absorbs water differently than regular coffee grounds, use
fewer scoops to prevent overflow�
