- Use the arrow buttons again to select the correct minute, and press the Hour/Minute button to set the clock at the displayed time.
NOTE: If you unplug the brewer or in the event of a power loss, you will need to reset the clock the next time the brewer is plugged in.
HIGH-ALTITUDE CALIBRATION BREW
Required for users in high-altitude areas. Not running the high-altitude
calibration brew in a high-altitude area will result in excessive steaming
during brewing. Because water boils at a lower temperature at higher
altitudes, running a calibration cycle before your first brew allows the
brewer to detect the boiling point of water at your location. Running a
calibration cycle will help deliver a consistent brew each time.
- Fill the water reservoir up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
- Insert the Ninja Grounds Adapter and close the brewer lid, then place the empty carafe on the base.
- Press and hold both CLASSIC and HR/MN until you hear a confirmation sound.
- A calibration cycle will begin, and the display will count down until the Altitude calibration is complete. When complete, the brewer will beep and display “End” on the clock and ounce display. Discard the water in the carafe.
NOTE: This calibration is permanently saved and will not be lost if power is lost or the brewer is unplugged. Brewer can be recalibrated at any time if the altitude where it is being used changes.
USING THE NINJA POD AND GROUNDS ADAPTER
The Ninja DualBrew Coffee Maker comes with a unique Ninja Grounds Adapter
already installed and an additional Ninja Pod Adapter for pods.
INSTALLING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER
First, ensure the Ninja Grounds Adapter is removed from the coffee maker.
Place the Ninja Pod Adapter in the brew basket, ensure the handle is aligned
with the brew basket handle, and press down on the Ninja Pod Adapter firmly.
INSTALLING THE NINJA GROUNDS ADAPTER
Place the #4 paper cone filter or permanent filter (sold separately) in the
brew basket, then place the Ninja Grounds Adapter over the brew basket and
filter and ensure the handle is aligned with the brew basket handle.
PRIMING YOUR NINJA® DUALBREW HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER
-
Clean all accessories before the first brew.
-
Plug the brewer in and turn it on by pressing the power button.
-
Lift the water reservoir off of its base. Remove the reservoir lid. Add water up to, but not exceeding the FULL line. Return the water reservoir to the brewer. DO NOT fill the water reservoir with anything other than water, as other liquids may damage your brewer.
NOTE: We recommend using cool or room-temperature water in the reservoir. DO NOT fill with hot or boiling water. -
Ensure the Ninja Grounds Adapter is placed over the brew basket and is aligned with the brew basket handle and close the lid.
NOTE: DO NOT use coffee for the priming brew. -
Center the carafe with the brew-through lid installed below the brew basket. With everything securely in place and the coffee maker powered on, use the Multi-Serve Arrow Buttons to select the Full Carafe size. Ensure the Drip Stop Indicator is set to Open.
-
To start, press the CLASSIC brew-style button. When the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the carafe. You are now ready to use your Ninja DualBrew Hot & Iced Coffee Maker.
USING THE NINJA® DUALBREW HOT & ICED COFFEE MAKER
BREW VOLUMES AND MEASUREMENTS
Each size and brew style produces a different amount of coffee to optimize
strength and flavor. Rich brew will produce slightly less than Classic.
- NOTE: The coffee grounds will absorb some of the water that is brewed; this will cause slight variability in brew volumes.
- NOTE: Brew volumes may be slightly larger or smaller than what is stated due to various factors in the system.
- NOTE: Over Ice is designed to brew coffee directly over ice, accounting for ice melt by delivering a reduced amount of coffee. The total volume listed in the Approximate Brew Volumes table reflects the overall drink volume, taking into account the ice in your cup.

MEASURING YOUR COFFEE GROUNDS
For best results, use the measurements on the Ninja Smart Scoop™ or in the chart to determine how much ground coffee to use for each brew size. Always use level scoops when measuring ground coffee. The amount of ground coffee for each size will remain the same for any brew type you select. For example, if you select 10 oz. and Classic, you will use the same amount of coffee grounds as if you were to select 10 oz. and Over Ice.
BREWING GROUND COFFEE
USING THE BREW BASKET
-
To prepare for brewing, open the coffee maker lid and ensure the brew basket is installed.
-
Place a #4 paper cone filter or permanent filter (sold separately) in the brew basket.
NOTE: Fold the paper filter along the seams, open the top fully, and firmly press it into the brew basket, making sure it is fully installed.
NOTE: DO NOT place ground coffee directly in the brew basket without a filter. -
Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™ and follow the measurements on the scoop or on the Coffee Measurement Chart to fill the filter.
-
Place the Ninja Grounds Adapter over the brew basket so it is fully seated and is aligned with the brew basket handle.
-
Close the coffee maker lid.
BREWING PODS
USING THE NINJA POD ADAPTER
-
To prepare for brewing, open the lid, and ensure the brew basket is installed.
-
Place the Ninja Pod Adapter over the brew basket and ensure it is aligned with the brew basket handle.
NOTE: Make sure the brew basket is clean and free of any filters before inserting the Ninja® Pod Adapter. -
Place a new pod in the holder.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the pod is not damaged, torn, or expired. DO NOT remove the top of the pod.
HIGH-ALTITUDE BREWING : Before closing the Ninja Pod Adapter handle to start a brew, Using your fingers, carefully apply pressure on the pod until the bottom of the pod is punctured by the exit needle, and the pod is fully seated in the pod holder. This releases excessive gas built up from the high altitude and prevents pod blowout. -
Press the coffee maker lid down firmly to pierce the pod, and ensure that it is completely closed. There will be an audible click and some resistance when closing the handle as the needles puncture the pod.
NOTE: Reusable K-Cup Coffee Filters are not compatible with the Ninja Pod Adapter. If using ground coffee, use the Ninja Grounds Adapter with a paper or permanent filter to brew a single-serve size.
BREWING STYLES
NOTE: Over Ice brew is designed to produce a concentrated brew into a vessel filled with ice. It is normal for some ice in the vessel to melt as the coffee is brewed, and this will produce a cold beverage with the ideal strength and flavor.
NOTE: Rich brew will use slightly less water and yield slightly less brewed coffee than Classic brew. See the Approximate Brew Volumes chart for additional information.
HOW TO BREW
-
Use the Multi-Serve arrow buttons to select the brew size. Place the empty vessel or carafe under the brew basket.
NOTE: If making a single cup, lower the Single-Serve Cup Platform and set your vessel in the center of it to help prevent splashing. This applies to all brew styles. -
Press either the CLASSIC, RICH, or OVER ICE brew style to start your brew. To cancel the brew at any time, press the selected brew style again or press the Power button.
NOTE: The brewing cycle will begin, then pause for a short period before resuming. This process is used to evenly saturate the coffee grounds. This applies to all brew styles. -
The brewer will beep to signal the brew has started. The progress bar between the arrows will illuminate to indicate the progress of the brew. When the brew is finished, the machine will beep again and End will appear on the display.
INTELLIGENT WARMING PLATE
The Intelligent Warming Plate will automatically turn on during Classic or
Rich brews when a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or full carafe size is selected. The
Intelligent Warming Plate is set to a specific temperature to avoid burning
the coffee over time. To turn the warming plate on at any time, use the Multi-
Serve Arrow buttons to select one of the carafe sizes and press the WARM
button.
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.
TIME & TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT
You can adjust how long the Intelligent Warming Plate remains on (up to 4 hours) and/or set the temperature to High, Medium, or Low. By default, the Intelligent Warming Plate is set to remain on for 2 hours at Medium temperature. To change the time and/or temperature setting of your warming plate, follow these instructions:
- Press and hold WARM until the clock begins to flash the current warming time.
- Use the Multi-Serve Arrow buttons to increase the time in 15-minute increments up to 4 hours or decrease the time to 0 hours. Press WARM button to set the new time.
- Next, the clock will display the current warming plate temperature. To keep the same temperature, press WARM. To change the temperature, use the Multi Serve Arrow Buttons and press WARM for the temperature to lock in. The unit will beep signifying that the time and temperature have been set.
- NOTE: If you set the warming time to 0 hours, Keep Warm will not automatically activate during or after a carafe brew cycle, but you can still turn it on manually by pressing the WARM button when a carafe size is selected.
NOTE: The time adjustment setting will be saved and will not reset when the brewer is unplugged or loses power.
- NOTE: If you set the warming time to 0 hours, Keep Warm will not automatically activate during or after a carafe brew cycle, but you can still turn it on manually by pressing the WARM button when a carafe size is selected.
SETTING THE DELAY BREW
- Fill the water reservoir to the desired size and add ground coffee to the filter or insert a pod in the Ninja Pod Adapter, close the coffee maker lid, and place the appropriate-size vessel under the brew basket.
- Press DELAY. DELAY will illuminate and the clock will begin to flash “12:00” or the last time that was set.
- While the clock is flashing, use the Multi-Serve Arrow buttons to adjust the hour. The AM or PM indicator will illuminate on the clock display as you are setting the desired time. Press DELAY button again and use the Multi-Serve Arrow buttons to adjust the minute. Press DELAY to lock in the time.
- Once the desired time has been set, use the Multi-Serve Arrows to select the size that you would like to brew.
- Select either CLASSIC, RICH or OVER ICE to choose your brew style.
- Once the time, brew size, and brew style have been set, press the DELAY button to activate. When activated, the brewer will beep and the DELAY LED and your selected options will remain illuminated. To view your set delay brew time, press and hold the DELAY button. To cancel, press DELAY again or power off the coffee maker.
NOTE: The brewer must remain on for the Delay Brew function to work. DO
NOT power off or unplug after setting Delay Brew. If the brewer is turned off
or unplugged, delay brew will need to be reset.
NOTE: The clock will remain on even if the brewer is turned off. Ensure
the brewer is powered on to set Delay Brew.
USING THE 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 lever to your desired position. It can be closed and reopened at any point
before, during, or after a brew. If you forget to open the Drip Stop, the
brewer will pause the brew, and after 30 seconds it will give you a friendly
audible reminder. After 5 minutes, the brew will be canceled.
NOTE: If the Drip Stop is closed before you begin a brew, the brewer will notify you with 3 beeps and the Drip Stop indicator will illuminate. Move the Drip Stop to the open position and press the CLASSIC, RICH, or OVER ICE buttons to begin your brew.
CLOSING THE DRIP STOP AFTER A BREW
When the brew cycle is complete, set the Drip Stop to the closed position to
stop dripping from the brew basket. While the Drip Stop is closed, the Drip
Stop indicator will illuminate.
NOTE: Remember to open the Drip Stop when you are ready to brew again. If you forget, your brewer will give you a friendly audible reminder.
ADAPTER STORAGE
The adapter storage can be installed on the unit for onboard storage of either
the Ninja Pod or Ninja Grounds Adapters. The Adapter Storage can be installed
and removed at any time. To install the Adapter Storage:
- Securely fit the Adapter Storage pins into the holes on the back of the coffee maker.
- Store either the Ninja Pod or Ninja Grounds Adapters in the adapter storage.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AFTER A BREW
- After the coffee maker has cooled, remove the Ninja Grounds Adapter and brew basket. If using pods, remove the Ninja Pod Adapter and brew basket. Wash the used parts thoroughly with soap and warm water.
- Wash the carafe and brew-through lid with soap and warm water. Use a bottle brush or cloth to wash the inside of the carafe. DO NOT use a wire brush.
NOTE: For best results, we recommend rinsing the reservoir after brewing and refilling with fresh water for the next brew.
CLEANING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Empty the reservoir and hand-wash or place in the dishwasher. For a better
clean, we recommend placing it in the bottom rack of the dishwasher standing
upright with the opening facing downward. We recommend doing this weekly.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
We recommend cleaning your carafe after each use with warm, soapy water. To
clean the carafe more thoroughly, we recommend using a soft foam brush. DO NOT
use a wire brush to clean the carafe.
CLEANING THE BREW BASKET, NINJA POD AND GROUNDS ADAPTER
If brewing grounds, allow the coffee maker to cool. First remove the Ninja
Grounds Adapter by pinching the right tab of the handle and either lift
straight up if on top of the brew basket, or pull out of the coffee maker lid.
If brewing pods, first remove and discard the used pod, then remove the Ninja
Pod Adapter by pinching the right tab of the handle and lifting straight up.
Wash the Ninja Pod Adapter, Ninja Grounds Adapter, and Brew Basket with warm
soapy water.
CLEANING & DESCALING YOUR BREW SYSTEM
The clean cycle is used for descaling the brewer when calcium scale buildup is
affecting the performance of the brewer and/or the flavor of your coffee. The
Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will automatically illuminate orange when a
cleaning cycle is recommended for your brewer.
To clean and descale your Ninja DualBrew Coffee Maker:
- Place the empty carafe beneath the brew basket.
- Fill the water reservoir with 16 oz. of white vinegar, then fill the rest of the reservoir with water up to, but not exceeding, the Full line.
OR
Use a descaling solution specifically formulated for coffee maker cleaning and
follow the directions on the package.
- NOTE: The clean cycle takes approximately 75 minutes.
- IMPORTANT: Only use white vinegar.
- NOTE: If the display ever reads “CLOG,” it indicates heavy or residual coffee ground buildup. Refer to the “CLOG” section in the troubleshooting guide.
- NOTE: Running a water-only clean cycle will not descale the brewer properly.
-
Once the water reservoir is filled with your cleaning solution and water mixture, press the CLEAN button. The display will highlight the full carafe and 60oz which is the amount that will be brewed. Then press the CLEAN button again to confirm and begin the cleaning cycle.
NOTE: To cancel the clean cycle, press the Power button or CLEAN button once. The brewer will beep and stop brewing through the cleaning mixture. Continue to follow the instructions starting at Step 6.
.IMPORTANT: If you cancel the clean cycle, your brewer will not be properly descaled. -
The clock will display and count down the remaining clean cycle time, which takes approximately 75 minutes to complete. Your brewer will deliver a small amount of cleaning solution to distribute through the system. It will then pause, deliver an additional cleaning solution, and repeat this process for 75 minutes. The extended pauses allow for maximum cleaning and descaling.
IMPORTANT : DO NOT remove the carafe at any time during the clean cycle. -
Upon completion, the brewer will beep, the clock will display End, and the Intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator will turn off.
-
Empty the contents of the carafe and place 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.
-
Fill the reservoir with fresh water up to, but not exceeding the Full line.
-
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.
NOTE: Hard water will cause scale buildup faster than soft water and the brewer will indicate it needs cleaning more often.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
CLOCK DISPLAY MESSAGES:
CLOG
If this appears on your control panel, this means either there are grounds built up inside the top or bottom needles or calcium scale buildup in the brew system.
- Ensure that the top and bottom of the pod you are using is punctured.
- If the pod wasn’t punctured, try another pod, pressing down firmly on the top of the pod to ensure it is pierced by the bottom needle, then close the coffee maker lid.
- If the new pod still did not puncture, please contact Customer Service for assistance.
- If the pod was punctured, go to step 2
- Check if there are any visible grounds inside the top and bottom needles:
- If there are grounds in the top and bottom needles, use a flat wire or plastic clip such as a paper clip to clean the grounds out of the needles.
- After cleaning out the needles, restart the system by turning off the coffee maker, then turning it back on, and run a water-only full carafe classic brew to clear the system.
- If there are no grounds present or the display still shows “CLOG”, go to Step 3.
- There may be calcium scale buildup in the brew system and a clean cycle needs to be run immediately to remove the buildup. See ‘Cleaning & Descaling Your Brewing System’ for instructions.
End
• The brew cycle is complete.
Add Wtr
• The system does not have enough water in the reservoir to complete your
brew. Add fresh water to the reservoir and then press the brew style button
that was being brewed to resume the brew.
• If the reservoir is filled with water, remove and reseat the reservoir by
pressing firmly down on the reservoir. If the issue persists, contact Customer
Service at 1-877-646-5288.
STOP
• A brew cycle was cancelled.
ERROR MESSAGES
Er
- If the clock displays “Er” and then a number (ex. “Er 03”), contact Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288. There’s sediment in my coffee.
- If using a permanent filter (sold separately), this may be due to using finely ground coffee.
- To reduce the amount of sediment in the brewed coffee, use a slightly coarser grind or use a paper filter.
NOTE: DO NOT use a paper filter in conjunction with a permanent filter, as water and/or coffee can back up and clog the filter basket.
Over Ice Brew is not cold.
- Ensure your cup, travel mug, or carafe is filled all the way to the top with ice cubes before brewing. Brewer will brew at elevated temperatures to lock in the best flavor, then the ice will cool the brewed coffee to the perfect temperature.
Coffee is too weak.
- For stronger coffee, use the Rich brew setting. For an even bolder flavor, you can add more coffee grounds to the filter.
Coffee is too strong.
- For milder coffee, use the Classic brew setting. For an even milder flavor, use fewer coffee grounds in the filter.
The brew cycle is too slow.
- The brew time will vary based on size and brew style. Full carafe sizes and Rich brews will take longer to brew than single-serve and classic brews. The progress bar on the control panel will indicate brew progress.
Cup or travel mug overflowed.
- Refer to the Approximate Brew Volumes chart on page 6.
The brew basket overflowed.
- The bottom of the brew basket may be clogged. This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many coffee grounds in the filter. Medium-grind coffee is recommended.
- Using a permanent filter in conjunction with a paper filter can cause grounds to clog and water to back up in the brew basket. Use only the permanent filter or a paper filter.
- Decaf coffee grounds absorb water differently, so use fewer scoops when using decaf.
There is water left in the reservoir.
- When the reservoir is filled to a specific size and then that size is brewed, there will be some water left in the reservoir. This is normal to ensure the reservoir does not run dry for the best performance of the pump and brew system.
Brewer is leaking.
- After removing the water reservoir, there may be a small amount of water in the reservoir valve. This can be easily removed with a dry cloth.
- If the leak is coming from above the brew basket, refer to “Brew basket overflowed.” above.
- If the leaking is coming from below the brew basket, close the drip stop. Refer to page 13 for more information.
- If the leak is coming from the bottom of the brewer, call Customer Service at 1-877-646-5288.
The intelligent Clean Cycle Indicator is illuminating orange.
- Run a clean cycle. If you have recently completed a clean cycle, you may need to run another cycle to
remove additional mineral buildup that occurs naturally over time and is common in hard-water areas.
Make sure you are using vinegar or a descaling solution and follow the cleaning instructions on page 15.
Brewer is not detecting the Ninja® Pod Adapter.
- Ensure the adapter is fully seated in place over the brew basket with the coffee maker lid closed. Refer to page 9 for more information.
Coffee is splattering.
- Some splatter is normal. Use the cup tray when possible to reduce the distance between the cup and the coffee outlet.
- Ensure the Ninja Pod adapter is installed over the brew basket when brewing pods.
The water reservoir is unstable.
- Ensure the water reservoir is properly installed on the hook on the side of the brewer and pressed down firmly into the water reservoir base.
