FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE
For best results, use the measurement chart in the next
column 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.
CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 12 rounded tablespoons or 6 Ninja
®
Big Scoops. Exceeding this amount or using fine
ground coffee may cause overflow.
1
Open the brew basket by sliding it out of the brewer.
(Fig. 13)
NOTE:
Check for any loose grounds that may be left in
the brew basket. Remove and rinse the removable filter
holder if needed.
2
Place the permanent filter or a #4 paper cone filter
in the removable filter holder. If using a paper filter,
first ensure the permanent filter is removed from the
removable filter holder. Then fold the paper filter along
the seams, open it fully, and firmly press it into the
brew basket, making sure it is firmly seated.

3
Use the Ninja Scoop and follow the measurements
in the chart to fill the filter. These measurements are
based on level scoops—adjust to your preferred taste.

We suggest using a medium-sized grind if
grinding whole beans.
