- To uninstall the adapter, remove the used pod and close the handle. Push the handle away from you so the position indicator is in the REMOVE position. Then, using the edges on the left and right, lift the adapter out of the brewer.
NOTE: The Ninja Pod Adapter is compatible only with K-Cup pods. It is not compatible with reusable K-Cup filters. If using ground coffee, use the Grounds mode with a paper or permanent filter (sold separately) to brew a single-serve size.
SLIDING LID
The sliding lid is used only when brewing loose coffee grounds. To use it,
first remove the Ninja Pod Adapter. Then, using the handle on top of the
brewer, slide the lid toward you until it firmly clicks into place.

The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on while brewing a Classic or Rich brew on any Carafe size and remain on for 2 hours. To adjust how long the Intelligent Warming Plate remains on (up to 4 hours), refer to the Owner’s Guide.

IMPORTANT: The light on the base of the brewer will illuminate only when the warming plate is hot and will remain illuminated until the plate has cooled down.

Lift adapter handle to reveal pod holder and insert a pod.
Firmly push down on the handle to pierce the pod. Some noise and resistance is normal.

slightly less output.
Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart in the Owner’s Guide for more
information.
PODS
Pods cannot brew in carafe sizes.
Approximate brew volumes based on Classic brew. Rich brew will produce
slightly less output.
Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart in the Owner’s Guide for more
information.
NOTE: Make sure to use a vessel that is big enough for the brew size you select.
CHOOSE A BREW
Smooth, well-balanced flavor.
Specially designed to brew hot over ice for freshly brewed iced coffee that is
not watered down.
Always fill your vessel to the top with ice cubes before brewing Over Ice.
Richer than classic, with more intense flavor that stands up to milk, cream, or flavoring.
NOTE: DO NOT use any glassware except the provided Ninja carafe, which is made of specialized glass that is safe to use.
BREW
Press the START BREW button to start brewing. There will be an illuminating
progress bar on the display to track the status of your brew.
THE BREW MAY PAUSE ONCE OR MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE BREW CYCLE. THAT’S OK.
Pausing allows the coffee grounds to fully extract and unlock the full flavor
of the brew style.
NOTE: Ensure the drip stop is open before starting your brew.
DRIP STOP
The drip stop is used to close off the brew basket to prevent any coffee from dispensing. You will need to manually open and close the drip stop by moving the handle to your desired position. The drip stop can be closed and reopened at any point before, during, or after a brew.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP?
Close the drip stop to pause the brew cycle, and pour yourself a cup. Then,
reopen the drip stop to continue the brew.
STOP THE DRIPS AFTER A BREW
At the end of a brew, close the drip stop to prevent coffee dripping from the
brew basket and Ninja® Pod Adapter.
GUIDE TO KEEPING COFFEE HOT
The type of cup you brew into can greatly influence the temperature of your coffee when drinking.
| CERAMIC CUP| PAPER CUP
---|---|---
Cup Temperature

Room temperature

Pre-warmed with hot water
|
Pre-warmed in microwave with milk
|
Room temperature
Drinking Temperature
| | | |
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.| Unlike a ceramic mug, a thinner paper cup does
not steal substantial heat from the coffee.
NOTE: DO NOT put the carafe in the microwave.
