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.

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.

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 Specialty Brew.
CAUTION: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 6 rounded tablespoons or 3 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. 7)
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 #2 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 #2 paper cone filter along the seams and insert
firmly into the brew basket. (Fig. 8)
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. 9) We suggest using a medium grind size if
grinding whole beans.
