Preparing and Using the Ninja Coffee Bar
HOW MUCH COFFEE DO YOU GET IN YOUR CUP?
CAUTION: Please ensure that you are using at least a 355 ml (12 oz.) cup for the cup size, 414 ml (14 oz.)
cup for the XL Cup size, 473 ml (16 oz.) travel mug for the travel mug size and 591 ml (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.

Signature Brews.
WOULD YOU LIKE A HOTTER COFFEE?

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)

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.
