Why is there a
difference?
A cold ceramic
mug will steal heat
from the coffee as
it warms itself up.
If the mug is
already warm, it
will not steal as
much heat from
the coffee.
Just like your
cold mug, cold
milk lowers the
temperature of
your coffee.
The Ninja
double wall cup is
designed to retain
initial coffee temp
better than a
ceramic cup.
Unlike a ceramic
mug, a thinner
paper cup
does not steal
substantial heat
from the coffee.
WOULD YOU LIKE A HOTTER COFFEE?
Have you ever wondered why coffee is served in paper cups when you order it to go? The type of cup you brew into can drastically influence
the drinking temperature.
HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?
CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at least a 12 oz. cup for the cup size, 14 oz. cup for the XL Cup
size, 16 oz. travel mug for the travel mug size and 20 oz. travel mug for the XL Multi-Serve size to prevent
overflow and a scalding injury.
Each size and brew type produces a different amount of coffee to optimize strength, taste, and size.
NOTE:
The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed, resulting in slightly less brewed coffee than water used.

PRE-HEATING

After plugging in or turning your brewer on from Power Save mode, press the Power Save button to initiate Pre-heating.
You will see your pre-heat LED turn on.
2
Allow 3 minutes for your brewer to pre-heat.
3
After 3 minutes, the light will turn off. Your brewer has now pre-heated.
4.
Your Ninja Coffee Bar will in stay pre-warmed mode unless you put the brewer into power save mode by pressing the
Power Save Button.
FILLING THE BREW BASKET WITH COFFEE
For best results, use the below measurements of ground coffee
for each size brew–the amount of ground coffee for each size will
remain the same for any brew type that 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. 14)
NOTE:
Check for any loose grounds that may be left in the
brew basket. Remove and rinse the brew basket if needed.
2
Place the permanent filter or a #4 paper cone filter in the
brew basket. If using a paper filter, first ensure the permanent
filter is removed from the brew basket. Then fold a #4 paper
cone filter along the seams and insert firmly into the brew
basket.
(Fig. 15)
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.
(Fig. 16)
We suggest
using a medium grind size if grinding whole beans.
