Each brew size is optimized for its corresponding brew style. The rich brew will produce slightly less output for stronger coffee, for example.

The brew may pause once or multiple times during the brew cycle; this is normal. Pausing allows the coffee grounds to fully extract and unlock the full flavor of the brew style.

Please ensure the brew basket is inserted. When possible, use the cup tray to reduce the distance between the cup and the coffee nozzle.

Most K-Cup pods are compatible with this brewer. For best results, we recommend using Keurig® branded pods. Avoid using pods that are torn or damaged.

This brewer is not compatible with any reusable K-Cup filters. We recommend switching to grounds mode and using a #4 cone paper filter or our permanent filter when opting to use ground coffee.

Yes, you can purchase single-serve pods of tea and use the Ninja Pod Adapter to brew.

This brewer closely controls the amount of water that it draws through the system to produce the optimal cup of coffee.

Markings are slightly above the amount of water needed so the coffee machine doesn’t run dry, and can perform at its best. All brew styles use different amounts of water to create the proper flavor and concentration, so occasionally some water may remain in the reservoir.

The adapter that is not in use can be stored in the adapter storage on the back of the unit.

Re-install the reservoir vertically so that the reservoir is hooked onto the base, and pushed down firmly. 

The CLEAN light illuminates orange when you need to run a clean cycle. If the light is on and you have recently completed a clean cycle, you may need to run another cycle to remove additional mineral buildup that occurs naturally over time.

Step 1: Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.

Step 2: Fill the water reservoir with 16oz. of white vinegar, then fill the rest of the reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding the full line.

Step 3: Place the reservoir on the unit and press the CLEAN button. The display will highlight the full carafe and 60oz (CFP101) or 70oz (CFP105CO). which is the amount that will be brewed. Press the CLEAN button again to confirm and begin the cleaning cycle.

Step 4: The clock will display and count down the remaining clean cycle time; the cycle takes approximately 75 minutes (CFP101) or 90 minutes (CFP105CO) to complete. Your brewer will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute through the system. It will then pause, deliver additional cleaning solution, and repeat this cycle for 75 minutes (CFP101) or 90 minutes (CFP105CO).

Step 5: When complete, the brewer will beep and the clock display will show END. The Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will turn off.

Step 6: Empty the contents of the carafe and place it back under the brew basket. Clean the water reservoir with warm, soapy water to remove any cleaning solution that could affect the flavor of your coffee.

Step 7: Fill the water reservoir to the full line with fresh water.

Step 8: Flush the system by running a full carafe Classic water-only brew. After the cycle is complete, discard the water and thoroughly clean the carafe and brew basket.

We recommend using a descaling solution that is made specifically for coffee makers, which you can purchase by calling Customer Service. You may also use white vinegar to run the clean cycle. Please see your Owner's Guide for more information.

Dishwasher-safe parts include the Brew Basket, Permanent Filter, Ninja Grounds Adapter, Ninja Pod Adapter, Water Reservoir, Carafe, and Ninja Smart Scoop.

• Fill the declog tool up to the top with water. Gently close the lid until it makes contact with the Declog Tool. Now pump the lid down 10 times, making sure not to close the lid all the way.
• Now open the lid and remove the declog tool, discarding the water in the tool. Make sure the water reservoir is filled up to at least the 12oz cup line with fresh water.
• Power the coffee maker on, place a cup (at least 12oz) under the nozzle and run a water only, 12oz brew to clear the system.
• Once the brew is complete, discard any water.

For best results, we recommend using a medium-coarse grind. We do not recommend using finely ground coffee because it may cause the brew basket to overflow.

Ensure your cup or travel mug is filled all the way to the top with ice cubes before brewing. The unit will brew at hot temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the brewed coffee to the perfect temperature.

No, you use the same amount of coffee for each brew style selected. Each brew style is designed to make the strength you selected using the measurements on the Ninja Smart Scoop™.

Yes, the drip stop can be closed at any point before, during, or after a brew.

When brewing Over Ice, be sure to fill your vessel to the top with whole ice cubes, not crushed or shaved ice, before brewing to prevent most of the ice from melting.

This may be due to using finely ground coffee. To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee, use a slightly coarser grind. If this does not work, use one less scoop than you normally do.
