PROBLEMS
POSSIBLE REASONS & SOLUTIONS
Brew cycle is too slow.
A carafe brew will take approximately 8 minutes and a single cup will take approximately 4 minutes.
If the brew cycle is taking longer than normal, run the Clean Cycle with the descaling solution.
My cup, travel mug, or
carafe overflowed.
The cup, travel mug or carafe may not have been empty prior to brewing.
The water exceeded the Max Fill line on the water reservoir prior to brewing.
The Ninja
Coffee Bar
®
System is designed to dispense the following amounts on Classic

9.5 oz.
XL Cup
11.5 oz.
Travel Mug
14 oz.
XL Multi-Serve
18 oz.
Half Carafe

Multi-Serve size.
NOTE:
On Rich Brew and Over Ice Brew there will be less volume dispensed. Specialty
Brew will deliver approximately 4 oz. and Cafe Forte will deliver approximately 8 oz.
Brew basket
overflowed.
The bottom opening is clogged. This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many
coffee grounds in the brew basket. Medium-ground coffee is recommended.
Water left in my
reservoir.
Fill the reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line and Auto-iQ
™
One-
Touch Intelligence will only use the water needed for the brew size and style selected.
After a brew you may notice leftover water in your water reservoir after filling to the
minimum fill line of the size selected. The water reservoir markings are minimum fill lines
that indicate if there is enough water for the proper brew size in the reservoir, but all
brew styles use different amounts of water to create the proper flavor and concentration.
You can brew multiple cups before needing to refill.
Does it take coffee
pods?
This brewer is designed to brew coffee grounds only. Do not insert pods or K-Cups

.
My Ninja Coffee Bar
System is leaking.
Ensure you are filling your water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Max Fill line.
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.
If the leak is coming from the brew basket, make sure that all parts are assembled
correctly and securely. If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer, call customer
service at 1-877-646-5288.
Why is the second cup
that I brewed hotter
than the first cup?
Once the Ninja Coffee Bar System has brewed the first cup, the brewing system is pre-
warmed. This enables any following brews to be slightly hotter. For a hot first cup, try
pre-warming your mug. Or after plugging in and turning on your brewer by pressing the
Power button, allow 3 minutes for your brewer to preheat.
I noticed the carafe
design and lid. What are
the benefits?
Our unique carafe shape and design has the following benefits:
Easy-grip design makes it easy to pour coffee without dripping.
It thoroughly mixes your coffee from the first drop to the last thanks to the brew-
through carafe lid.
Optimizes coffee temperature.
Allows you to brew both hot and iced coffee.
