Ninja Smart Scoop
™
Tablespoons
Cup/XL Cup
2–3 small scoops
2–3 Tbsp.
Travel Mug/XL Multi-Serve
3–5 small scoops
3–5 Tbsp.
Half Carafe
3–4 big scoops
6–8 Tbsp.
Full Carafe
4–6 big scoops
8–12 Tbsp.
Specialty (4 oz.)
2 big scoops
4 Tbsp.
NOTE:
For Cold Brew coffee, add one extra scoop.
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.
FILLING THE COFFEE BREW BASKET
For best results, use the coffee
measurement 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
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. The only exception
is Cold Brew, which requires one extra
scoop of coffee, regardless of the size.
1
Open the brew basket by sliding it out
of the brewer. Ensure you have the
COFFEE filter holder in the machine,
denoted by the orange handle with the
coffee bean icon.
2
Place the coffee permanent filter or a
#4 paper cone filter in the COFFEE filter
holder. If using a paper filter, first ensure
the permanent filter is removed from the
filter holder. Then fold the paper filter
along the seams, open it fully, and firmly
press it into the filter holder making sure
it is fully seated.
3
Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™ and follow the
measurements in the chart to fill the brew
basket These measurements are based
on level scoops—adjust to your preferred
taste.
We suggest using a medium-sized
grind if grinding whole beans.
4
Slide the brew basket back into the
brewer until it clicks into place.

NOTE:
Brew volumes may be slightly larger or smaller than what is stated due to various
factors in the system.
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.

You don’t need to adjust the size for Specialty Brew—it always yields approximately 4 oz. of coffee
and approximately 6 oz. of tea with the exception of Green Tea, which brews 2 oz..
NOTE:
The coffee grounds and tea will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting
in slightly less brewed coffee or tea than water used.
NOTE:
Decaffeinated coffee absorbs water differently than regular coffee grounds.
Use fewer scoops to prevent overflow.
NOTE:
Fold the paper filter along the
seams, open the top fully, and firmly
press it into the brew basket, making
sure it is fully seated.
