maker. Flip the

APPROXIMATE BREW VOLUMES
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:
The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in
slightly less brewed coffee than water used.
NOTE:
Measurements are based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste. Use a
medium-sized grind if grinding whole beans. Exceeding the recommended medium
grind size for whole beans may cause the brew basket to overflow.
