OVER ICE BREW 
Designed to brew hot coffee over ice to lock in the flavor for a rich, 
freshly brewed, smooth iced coffee without becoming watered 
down. Be sure your vessel is filled with ice before brewing.
 CAUTION: DO NOT USE GLASSWARE. However, the 
provided glass carafe is safe to use due to the 
specialized glass material.
1  After filling the water reservoir, add ground coffee to the 
filter (feel free to add more coffee if you like a stronger 
taste.) Be sure that the Drip Stop is open and the 
reservoir, basket and filter are in place.
2  Use the Multi-Serve dial to select the size of coffee that 
you would like to brew. 
3  Before brewing, fill the desired vessel to the top with ice 
cubes and place the vessel below the brew basket. Press the 
OVER ICE BREW button and the brew will begin. (Fig. 21) 
Press the OVER ICE BREW button again to cancel the brew.
  IMPORTANT: Always fill the desired vessel to the 
top with ice before placing it below the brew 
basket. Do not add ice to the water reservoir.
  NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for 
a short period of time before it begins again. This 
process is used to evenly saturate your coffee 
grounds.
 NOTE: If making a carafe of Over Ice Brew, fill the 
carafe with ice and brew without the brew-through lid.
4  The Ninja
Coffee Bar will beep to signal a completed 
brew. Stir to cool coffee completely.
 CAUTION: Make sure to use the proper cup size, to 
prevent coffee overflowing the cup.
NINJA BREWS
Specialty and Cafe Forte brews deliver a specific amount 
of concentrated coffee for the perfect brew every time. 
Specialty delivers approximately 4 oz. and Cafe Forte 
delivers approximately 8 oz. 
SPECIALTY OR CAFE FORTE BREW 
The Specialty Brew produces a strong coffee concentrate 
perfect for an iced blended coffee drink or milk-based 
specialty drink. 
Cafe Forte has a deep, full-bodied, and complex flavor 
that is rich and drinkable. It tastes great black—no milk 
or sweeteners needed. Refer to the Inspiration Guide for 
recipes.
1  After filling the water reservoir and adding ground coffee 
to the filter, be sure that the Drip Stop is open and that 
the reservoir, basket and filter are securely in place.
 Note: If brewing an iced blended drink, fill the desired 
vessel with the amount of ice recommended in the 
recipe before brewing.
2  Place the vessel that you would like to brew into 
underneath the brew basket. Press the SPECIALTY 
BREW button or CAFE FORTE button and the brew 
will begin. (Fig. 22, 23) Press the SPECIALTY BREW 
button or CAFE FORTE button again or press the Power 
Save button to cancel the brew. 
  NOTE: The brew will begin, stop, and be quiet for 
a short period of time before it begins again. This 
process is used to evenly saturate your coffee 
grounds.
  NOTE: No matter which size is selected on the 
Multi-Serve dial, Specialty will always brew 4 oz. 
and Cafe Forte will always brew 8 oz.

FROTHING YOUR MILK
1  Pour milk into cup, until it is about one-third full. (Use 
more or less milk depending on your preference.) 
Microwave for 45-60 seconds for hot milk.
2  Move the frother into the ready position by swinging the 
arm toward the front.
3  Hold cup under the frother and submerge the whisk just 
below the surface of the milk. This allows air to fold into 
the milk, for the frothiest results. (Fig. 24)
4  Press and hold the frothing button for 30 to 45 
seconds. (Fig. 25)
5  You can easily remove the frother whisk by twisting it 
clockwise. Keep your cup below the whisk and carry it to 
your sink or dishwasher for cleaning. (Fig. 26)
 CAUTION: DO NOT reach across the top of the brewer to froth during brewing. Steam is released from vent on 
top of brewer and can result in a steam burn.
