This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it. The problem I had with my first unit was this: When attempting to brew a cup of coffee, the unit would either keep brewing until the coffee was undrinkable or it would not run long enough and the coffee produced was way too strong. I cleaned the unit as best I could but it did not help. So in the end it was just too much trouble to get a good cup of coffee out of it, so I decided to replace it with a new one, which has been working great since I unpacked it.
Very well done, and easy to understand. I always read instructions first, just to make sure I do not miss anything important, but also, is easier to actually see something in action. Good job.
Hi it's 2020 and I was today years old when I learned that you are supposed to FOLD THE EDGES of the paper filter so it doesn't collapse and block the water reaching the grounds. Holey and might I add... Moley -!. Srsly, I've ruined so many cups of coffee on my Ninja due to not doing that! And truly this entire video is EXCELLENT! I learned things I had no idea about after using the Ninja for a year (my brother gave me his last year) Wish I'd taken this class sooner:) :) Thank you so much!
I actually sat and watch the whole video. You explained it so wonderfully great! My local Canadian Tire actually have one in stock so I'll be picking it in the morning. They should have put you in the commercial!
My sister's had this Ninja coffee maker for 7 years and uses it every day. It still works perfectly except a little water does leak at the reservoir connection, but she still uses it, just wiping a little water away now and then. I took my coffee over there and made some coffee and it was so much better than my regular coffee pot makes. Not bitter at all and very smooth. I believe it's the blooming of the grounds, the water temperature, and the large shower head.
I just received my new Ninja machine about 3 days ago. Wasn't sure if I liked it over my other coffee machine...the one that begins with a K. After making an iced coffee I was thinking that having this capability was just awesome. Now, after watching your video, I have decided to keep it!! I'm going to gift my K machine to someone. Tomorrow I have to go to the store to buy some sugar free flavorings!!
Ty Ty ...I looked at your video before opening and then I saw the instructions ..but I love the video. I watch from being to end very helpful.. I love videos because they tend to show you what the instructions don't tell you.. Ty Ty for the quick reply and I'm sure I'm going to love my machine..
You are so awesome. Very professional. I don't care for coffee very much. I bought the IQ combo tea and coffee Ninja, but I still enjoyed your presentation of the coffee ninja. Ninja should hire you.
This video is what made me decide to go buy one....I swear I could smell the coffee brewing. Lol It wasn't much longer after watching it that I did smell it brewing!! LOVE IT thanks the video!
I was on the fence about getting this machine. THIS review sold me. I sure hope they are kicking you something for such a great and informative review.
+tonymengela Hey Tony, I'm sorry that you are having a bad experience! Make sure that you are using the Ninja scoop to measure your coffee. If you use as much as you used to use to get great-tasting coffee, you'll use too much. If you're used to drinking stale, watery coffee from a Keurig, you may not like the coffee from the Ninja Coffee Bar. And I don't mean to be negative! It's just that the coffee in a K-cup isn't fresh, it's expensive and it's not brewing it the way coffee should be brewed. You'll save money using the Ninja Coffee Bar. You just might need to play with the type of coffee you're using and make sure that you are measuring it correctly. If it's bitter or sour, something is wrong. Thermal Flavor Extraction was engineered to avoid that very thing. Good luck!
Catherine Gudvangen I have, and I do. But no matter what I do it always has that 2 hour old coffee taste. And yes I use fresh ground coffee.... regular french dip is still much better than this machine and the cost in minimal. To me its just a fashion piece to the counter.
+tonymengela I'm so bummed! I would do one last thing and call customer service and see if they can troubleshoot that your machine is brewing correctly.
my favorite version would be the latest ninja model in that square design, really pretty, but with a fresh coffee bean grinder on top. hope thats the future plan for this model. so when i set my morning timer i get even the freshest, not stale, coffee powder for my coffee!
My daughters got this for me last Christmas. Im watching your video because im going to set up a coffee bar for my company flying in from out of town.. 🌺🌺🌺aloha🌺🌺🌺
My dad bought this coffee maker for me at college.. I wasn't very excited about it (because I only know how to use a Keurig) until I watched this video! I was wondering how to clean it and how often should I clean it?
I'm so happy to hear that!! You are going to find that once you have ground your coffee (or even buy ground coffee) it is just as easy as the Keurig --- but then you're going to want to take the next step and grind your coffee fresh, too! It just keeps getting better!! The Ninja Coffee Bar will tell you when to clean, the light will go on and then it's just a press of a button. The harder your water, the more often it will want to clean.
Great review. I have a question? when you use it is it under your cabinets on your counter top and does it let out a lot of steam. I was about to order it when I seen that is had reviews saying it let out too much steam and was messing up the upper kitchen cabibets....tfs
That is definitely a possibility! There is a lot of steam, but I personally have not experienced any damage on my cabinets. However, I am mostly making single serve cups and travel mugs and not full carafes. Keep an eye on it or simply pull it out from under your cabinet. It's still the most amazing coffee brewer ever!!
+Rebecca Mattox You can use any bullet blender! You can brew directly into the blender cup, add the ingredients and the ice and then blend it up! There are fabulous recipes in the book that comes with your Ninja Coffee Bar. Of course, the Nutri-Ninja blender is the one we would recommend!!! Just like Sofia uses.
When using a single cup or travel mug should the warming plate be on and hot to the touch. I called costumer service and they said yes. I'm not convinced. What are your thoughts?
+Tammie Marino NO! It absolutely should not even turn on. Only when making a half-carafe or carafe. What were they thinking? Anytime it turns on, you can press the button to immediately turn it off. But that's super weird. Now if you just made a carafe, the hot light that is on the plate will still be on when you then go and make a cup (warning you that the plate is still warm to the touch). But not the actual button that is up in the auto-iq section. That should not be on.
Thank you! I talked to another representative and they are sending a replacement. This was the first complaint about this issue they have had. Thanks for responding.
Just bought one of these and the 1st thing that I noticed was how much stronger the coffee is compared to previous coffee makers I've owned. I love rich taste but I can see how others might be be turned off by it if they don't like a rich/stronger coffee.
Hi! Hopefully not stronger, just deeper flavor. Make sure you are using the Ninja scoop to measure, you definitely need to use less coffee than you would normally have used before - you're going to save so much money!!
bpoe2017 there are a number of different packages available. This model comes with the glass carafe and the separate milk frother and recipe book as its standard package. The TV offer has the new model with the built in frother and an over ice carafe. There are multiple packages that include the blender. Go to NinjaKitchen.com to see everything that is available!
try everything! especially an over ice -- super yum. make sure to use super cold fresh ice and a lot of it! The ice will melt perfectly for the freshest iced coffee you've ever tasted! I usually pre-add my milk and syrup to the glass first, then the ice, then brew! Enjoy!
+Catherine Gudvangen HEY CATHERINE I LOVE YOUR VIDEO HOW YOU EXPLANE STEP BY STEP ALSO DOES THAT COFFEE BLEND COME TOGETHER WITH THE COFFEE NINJA BAR I WHAT THE WHOLE ORDER
Hey there! I was wondering what ninja blender you used for the ninjaichino? I really love blended ice coffees and I have the huge blender but I would like the cup size blender. Which do you have?
I can,t wait to use my ninja coffee bar. I get it tomorrow afternoon between 11:30 and 13:45. Can,t wait to use it. I am gonna checkt this video out and use it as a guid super video of the ninja coffee bar . I don,t have a specialty brew on my ninja coffee bar. Have a Nice day 👍🏼😊👋🏼
That's the great part!! You put in the same amount of coffee! The Ninja Coffee Bar does all the thinking! It automatically calculates the infusion time to create that more concentrated over ice and specialty brew. Since my cups are large for the iced coffee and my blended cups, I brew a travel size. So I put in the suggested amount for the travel size - and just choose the type of brew. No guessing! Now you made me want a Ninjaccino! oxo
Hello Catherine. I was looking into this machine but decided to buy after watching your great fantastic review. I've used it for several days now and I noticed that the water leaks from the underneath of the reservoir. Is it a defect? Is it supposed to leak? Any ideas? Thanks!
+Simona Bezman It's not supposed to leak. There may be a slight amount of water there because that's where the water is moving from the reservoir into the Ninja, but it should only be a small amount and I wouldn't call it a leak. There is a chance that the reservoir is not seating correctly, so the valve is being left open too long. Just make sure that when you remove the reservoir from the machine, that you are turning it counterclockwise to remove it -- and when you place it back on, you place it gently onto the machine and then turn it clockwise to reseat it. And don't fill the reservoir over the max fill line. If it's still leaking, then there's something wrong and you should take it back. I hope that helped ---
Hi Tina! It definitely sounds like you are using too fine of a grind. Go all the way to medium-coarse to coarse - for a drip coffeemaker. Also, do a little troubleshooting and use a paper filter, just to make sure that everything is working properly. (make sure to fold the bottom and side seams of the paper filter so that it fits correctly!) Also, don't use too much coffee! Use the Ninja Scoop to measure - it is a very common error to overuse coffee, since we are so accustomed to it with other coffee makers. Bitterness comes from over extraction, so the hot water is spending too much time with some of the grounds. (Sour coffee is underextracted coffee). So 1) coarse grind; 2) paper filter; 3) correct amount of coffee for the size you are brewing; 4) full reservoir of water. Once you've done all of this and are happy with the coffee, go back to the gold-tone filter and try it again to see if the filter is the problem. Let me know if you are still having an issue. Good luck!
HELLO! The glass carafe is not insulated. I have banged it on the granite countertop and on the sink while washing it and it has not broken, so it's pretty sturdy. I would not drop it on the floor, however! I like the glass carafe because I like seeing and smelling my coffee when it's brewed - and with the Ninja Coffee Bar, I don't have to brew an entire pot at once and then save it for a few hours. It's so fast I can brew a half-carafe or a cup and then brew more fresh if I want more. I'm not wasting any more coffee! However, if you really like the idea of an insulated carafe, there is a model with a thermal carafe. It doesn't have the smart plate because you don't need/want to warm the carafe from the bottom. I used to love a thermal carafe, but now I prefer the glass with the Ninja Coffee Bar.
Hi! A classic cup will brew about 9.5 oz, a travel mug 14 oz. If you have smaller cups than this, then you'll want to brew into the carafe and then pour. It will cool down your coffee, however.
Ok my wife and I's 2nd Keurig died! I have been looking at this Coffee machine (we already have a Ninja mega blender and Ninja Cooking system) after viewing your video (great job by the way) Sold!!!! getting one for Christmas! Midas well be a total Ninja family!
One minute! Then froth 15 times. But if you have a stronger or weaker microwave, you might need to adjust that by 5 or 10 seconds one way or another. Enjoy!
@jack413man Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't - it doesn't seem to matter. I would say that if the grip feels hot to you, then it is taking too much of the microwave energy (not going to the milk).
Hey Zak, sorry for the late reply. You can absolutely purchase that cup, and it's nice because it's insulated. This model brews an 10 oz cup of coffee, which is definitely larger than many regular mugs. Time to get a bigger mug! More amazing coffee! Use the Ninja scoop that comes with the Ninja Coffee Bar; it's so easy to use - the measurements are right on the scoop - and you never have to guess how much water to use - Auto IQ knows what to do!
@@ogcatg yes!! Nothing at all!! I usually have to press it a few times thanx so much for the advice my auntie gave it to me so I don't have any of the instructions so I just wanted to be sure I wasn't skipping a step or something
If you have tried everything, including unplugging it for one minute, then try pouring descaler or diluted vinegar directly into the water intake. Good luck!
Hey you all! The new model is now available! It has a built-in frother which is super easy to use and really easy to clean! I love it and it makes the BEST FROTH. Go here to find out more! www.ninjakitchen.com/brewing/ninja-coffee-bar-system/
Hi Catherine, I'm thinking of getting this as a gift. The person I'm giving it to loves ice coffee beverages a lot more than hot. Could you show us a video strictly for variety of iced coffee? Also could you please post a link of your review for the new model you listed?? Thanks Catherine.
Hi Mina! I don't have the new model yet, but can tell you that it's exactly the same, EXCEPT it has a bolder option called Cafe Forte in two size options AND it has a built in frother! It's really easy to remove and clean. There are some other little features, too, that just make it even easier and more convenient to use. I would love to show you more recipes for Over Ice coffee - and I'm so excited that you're going to get it for your friend. I am telling you, I have never had fresher, more delicious tasting ice coffee. It's incredible. Just like the Japanese method of brewing coffee over ice - so super fresh because you're brewing and chilling at the same time, capturing all of that flavor. There's nothing like it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the quick reply Catherine. It's actually for my sister and she loves ice coffee from starbucks so I can't wait to give this to her as a gift. Last question and I'm very happy you could do another video for the ice coffee drinks. What type of coffee roast would work for the machine? Thanks.
Any type of roast - it's all a matter of preference. I love very deep dark roasts and I don't like the blonde fruity roasts - it's one of the best things about the Ninja Coffee Bar, you can use your favorite and you can buy it fresh! Just be sure to grind it (or buy or have it ground at the store) to a medium coarse grind. Your sister will love going into Starbucks and buying a pound of coffee for $11 (which will give her about 60 cups of coffee!) instead of buying three iced coffees for $11!!
I looked up many recipes online and they're asking to use "ground". Is it ok to use ground as well? I guess they prefer people to use medium coarse? Any idea why?
Lydia Alvarido it won't hurt the machine at all - but I don't know if it will affect how the grounds bloom during the pre-infusion process. I can't imagine that it would have a negative effect. So if that is easier for you than putting the sugar in the bottom of your cup, then go for it!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i am not a coffee drinker but i wanna get this for my mom lol. Anyways, while making the cappuccino when do you add the sugar?
+happyjunki3 Never a stupid question! You can add the sugar at any time. BUT, if you're making a cappuccino and want to keep the pretty layers and not mess them up by stirring in the sugar afterwards, you can froth the sugar or syrup into the milk and then you'll add the sweetness to the milk and not disturb the layers. Hope that helps!
Hello, Thank you for such well put together video, i love it. However, one of the reasons I was searching for info on the Ninja coffee bar, its because I am not sure what kind or type of cups to use, the infomercial for the ninja only uses the ninja cups as I notice, but your weren't, at less they don't have the ninja logo. could you please let me know if OK to use our regular coffee cups? FY: my travel and coffee mugs were filled all to the top and no room for milk. Thank you Ill really apppreciate your input! Sincerely, Bella!
+My channel Hi Bella! The Ninja cups are great because they are double-insulated and keep your coffee super warm - AND when you make a cappuccino, you can see the pretty layers! But you can use any cup - the Classic Cup brew is 10 oz and the Classic Travel brew is 14 oz. If you want room for milk, choose Rich Cup or Rich Travel - and your coffee will be just concentrated enough to allow room! And you'll still get that great coffee flavor, never watered down.
Hey you! You rock on camera! I should be so privileged to know you, and if I didn't know you, how I would LOVE to know you....so, where do I buy a Ninja Coffee Bar?
Latisha Graham make sure you are using the Ninja Scoop with the correct amount of coffee! You might be using too much coffee. It is easy to do because we have grown so accustomed to using too much.
What about dry creamer with warm coffee? I posted this video on my Facebook page. I'm trying to get family members or friends of mine to buy me one for my birthday, or Christmas this year since my sister broke my Neutra bullet machine.
Haha love the leverage! I think you will love the Ninja Coffee Bar. And coffee from the Ninja Coffee Bar starts off at the perfectly heated brewing temperature, so you can add your creamer right after it's brewed and it will dissolve. Then you can let it cool off a bit. Good luck with your family! Thanks for posting!
+Catherine Gudvangen does the machine have turning Diles? The reason why I ask is because I am totally blind and it will be hard for me to know how to do that to push a button and not see it.
It does have turning dials, but they are VERY easy to navigate. There are four positions for the SIZE: cup, travel, half carafe and carafe. Then there are four buttons for BREW: Classic, Rich, Over Ice and Specialty. Once you know them, you will be able to figure out how to set it.
Hi Karissa - it absolutely should not taste bitter. Be sure to use the Ninja Scoop and don't use heaping scoops. You will absolutely use less coffee than you have ever used in the past, you will love how much longer your coffee beans last! You might want to try to use a paper filter instead of the gold filter. Be sure to grind your coffee coarse. I know that I was in such a habit of overusing coffee that I started by using too much, it seemed like so little.
A fraction of the time you have to stand in line at the coffee shop! And no, if you pre-grind your coffee, it is about one minute longer than a keurig. Totally worth it. And you can set it for the night before!! Brew right into your travel mug whenever you want.
You can put sugar in whenever you would normally put sugar in -- or you can add syrups to the milk before frothing, it's a lovely infusion of subtle sweet. Yum!
You use the same amount of coffee for whatever size you are brewing! So for a cup of classic or a cup of rich brew, you use 3 Ninja scoops (= 3 teaspoons). Auto IQ figures out how to brew your coffee more richer - you don't use more coffee! You only use more coffee if you are going to brew a larger volume of coffee. It's always the perfect amount of coffee flavor for the size and brew you are making. Consistency is key! No more guesswork. Perfect every time.
Ninja needs to pay this woman what she's owed. She gave instruction better than any video on RUclips. -2024
I’m more impressed with how you sell the features than the product itself
I know right..
What if we could get the features without the product? Would that make it cheaper?
This is my 2nd Keurig coffee maker of this model. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf The first worked fine for more than 2 years, and I could still get a decent cup of coffee out of it if I fiddled with it when I decided to replace it.

Thank you, we just pulled ours back out again to use 😊😊
I bought one of these at a garage sale and had no idea it could do so much! I love it.

It’s funny I’ve had this since my late mother in law and I bought this for my wife we never knew you could do all this now I’m hooked lol
I was on the fence about getting this machine. THIS review sold me.
I sure hope they are kicking you something for such a great and informative review.

Thanks for showing how to use the ninja coffee bar! Great review! I got one of these for Christmas and can't wait to use it! I favorited this video :)
I got mine for a Xmas present and I’m loving it! 😍 thanks for the video too I needed to know a few things about 😀👍🏻
Thanks Catherine for your help. I'm subscribed to your channel.

Love your video, pretty easy to follow , just got mine yesterday, so ready to try some. Thank you !!
try everything! especially an over ice -- super yum. make sure to use super cold fresh ice and a lot of it! The ice will melt perfectly for the freshest iced coffee you've ever tasted! I usually pre-add my milk and syrup to the glass first, then the ice, then brew! Enjoy!
+Catherine Gudvangen HEY CATHERINE I LOVE YOUR VIDEO HOW YOU EXPLANE STEP BY STEP ALSO DOES THAT COFFEE BLEND COME TOGETHER WITH THE COFFEE NINJA BAR I WHAT THE WHOLE ORDER
Hey there! I was wondering what ninja blender you used for the ninjaichino? I really love blended ice coffees and I have the huge blender but I would like the cup size blender. Which do you have?
Any NutriNinja will do! All of the recipes will work in that awesome little powerhouse.
+Catherine Gudvangen what is the name of the one you are using?

I can,t wait to use my ninja coffee bar.
I get it tomorrow afternoon between 11:30 and 13:45. Can,t wait to use it. I am gonna checkt this video out and use it as a guid super video of the ninja coffee bar . I don,t have a specialty brew on my ninja coffee bar. Have a Nice day 👍🏼😊👋🏼
Thank you very much for your video...Will make my first cappuchino in the morning. Cam't wait!
If you like a sweetener with your cappuccino, add it to the milk before you froth! It will infuse the syrup or sugar into the drink. Enjoy!!
thanks to you I'm buying this tomorrow lol you should be the spokesmen lol the CEO of Ninja shouts to much in the commercials lol you're awesome
Hello, How many scoops of coffee did you put for your iced coffee and the blended iced coffee?
That's the great part!! You put in the same amount of coffee! The Ninja Coffee Bar does all the thinking! It automatically calculates the infusion time to create that more concentrated over ice and specialty brew. Since my cups are large for the iced coffee and my blended cups, I brew a travel size. So I put in the suggested amount for the travel size - and just choose the type of brew. No guessing! Now you made me want a Ninjaccino! oxo
Thank you! Hahaha yes I am now craving one too
Hello Catherine. I was looking into this machine but decided to buy after watching your great fantastic review. I've used it for several days now and I noticed that the water leaks from the underneath of the reservoir. Is it a defect? Is it supposed to leak? Any ideas? Thanks!
+Simona Bezman It's not supposed to leak. There may be a slight amount of water there because that's where the water is moving from the reservoir into the Ninja, but it should only be a small amount and I wouldn't call it a leak. There is a chance that the reservoir is not seating correctly, so the valve is being left open too long. Just make sure that when you remove the reservoir from the machine, that you are turning it counterclockwise to remove it -- and when you place it back on, you place it gently onto the machine and then turn it clockwise to reseat it. And don't fill the reservoir over the max fill line.
If it's still leaking, then there's something wrong and you should take it back. I hope that helped ---
Missouri, They sold it off the shelf so we didn't get an owner"s manual, is there any way we can get the manual?
Go to ninjakitchen.com!
what coarseness do you use for your grind? I am having difficulty with residue in the bottom of my cup and bitterness
Hi Tina! It definitely sounds like you are using too fine of a grind. Go all the way to medium-coarse to coarse - for a drip coffeemaker. Also, do a little troubleshooting and use a paper filter, just to make sure that everything is working properly. (make sure to fold the bottom and side seams of the paper filter so that it fits correctly!) Also, don't use too much coffee! Use the Ninja Scoop to measure - it is a very common error to overuse coffee, since we are so accustomed to it with other coffee makers. Bitterness comes from over extraction, so the hot water is spending too much time with some of the grounds. (Sour coffee is underextracted coffee). So 1) coarse grind; 2) paper filter; 3) correct amount of coffee for the size you are brewing; 4) full reservoir of water. Once you've done all of this and are happy with the coffee, go back to the gold-tone filter and try it again to see if the filter is the problem. Let me know if you are still having an issue. Good luck!
Very helpful video, thanks!
Hi! is the glass carafe insulated ? Does it chip easily? I'm clumsy.
HELLO! The glass carafe is not insulated. I have banged it on the granite countertop and on the sink while washing it and it has not broken, so it's pretty sturdy. I would not drop it on the floor, however! I like the glass carafe because I like seeing and smelling my coffee when it's brewed - and with the Ninja Coffee Bar, I don't have to brew an entire pot at once and then save it for a few hours. It's so fast I can brew a half-carafe or a cup and then brew more fresh if I want more. I'm not wasting any more coffee! However, if you really like the idea of an insulated carafe, there is a model with a thermal carafe. It doesn't have the smart plate because you don't need/want to warm the carafe from the bottom. I used to love a thermal carafe, but now I prefer the glass with the Ninja Coffee Bar.
Will it overflow on the cup setting
It depends on your cup size! :)
What about different sized cups/mugs? Is there some sort of standard?
Hi! A classic cup will brew about 9.5 oz, a travel mug 14 oz. If you have smaller cups than this, then you'll want to brew into the carafe and then pour. It will cool down your coffee, however.
Ok my wife and I's 2nd Keurig died! I have been looking at this Coffee machine (we already have a Ninja mega blender and Ninja Cooking system) after viewing your video (great job by the way) Sold!!!! getting one for Christmas! Midas well be a total Ninja family!
I have a question : how long do I put the milk in the microwave for when heating the milk ?
One minute! Then froth 15 times. But if you have a stronger or weaker microwave, you might need to adjust that by 5 or 10 seconds one way or another. Enjoy!
My manual frother has a grip around along with at the bottom. Do I have to remove grip to microwave?
@jack413man Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't - it doesn't seem to matter. I would say that if the grip feels hot to you, then it is taking too much of the microwave energy (not going to the milk).
You look like Mayte Garcia! Great video.
amazing tutorial, thank u so much !!!
This is the only video on your channel? Where did you go? I want to see more of you!
Does i come with that cup because i dont have cup that size also what happens if you put more coffee than needed in the thing?
Hey Zak, sorry for the late reply. You can absolutely purchase that cup, and it's nice because it's insulated. This model brews an 10 oz cup of coffee, which is definitely larger than many regular mugs. Time to get a bigger mug! More amazing coffee! Use the Ninja scoop that comes with the Ninja Coffee Bar; it's so easy to use - the measurements are right on the scoop - and you never have to guess how much water to use - Auto IQ knows what to do!
Thanks!
Do you have to grind it a certain size ?
yes! medium-coarse, same for any drip machine -- enjoy!
What coffee do y’all recommend?
Any! Grind it fresh, medium coarse --
Im having the issue where i press a button and absolutely nothing happens theres obviously power cuz the lights are on
Nothing at all? The selection doesn’t light up? It could be that something is clogged. Try adding descaling solution. Or call Ninja customer support.
@@ogcatg yes!! Nothing at all!! I usually have to press it a few times thanx so much for the advice my auntie gave it to me so I don't have any of the instructions so I just wanted to be sure I wasn't skipping a step or something
If you have tried everything, including unplugging it for one minute, then try pouring descaler or diluted vinegar directly into the water intake. Good luck!
@@ogcatg thanks! ❤
I can't stop watching this women... she's captivating ❤
Awww you did such a nice job. Mine is on its way.
What size is the scoop? Mine didn’t have it
Oh no! The small scoop is a teaspoon and the large is a tablespoon.
Does the coffee bar brew tea also?
It could! But it really doesn't. There isn't a long enough steeping process.
I just used the coffee Kraft for hot water and pour it into the bag. it works just fine.
Hey you all! The new model is now available! It has a built-in frother which is super easy to use and really easy to clean! I love it and it makes the BEST FROTH. Go here to find out more! www.ninjakitchen.com/brewing/ninja-coffee-bar-system/
Hi Catherine, I'm thinking of getting this as a gift. The person I'm giving it to loves ice coffee beverages a lot more than hot. Could you show us a video strictly for variety of iced coffee?
Also could you please post a link of your review for the new model you listed??
Thanks Catherine.
Hi Mina! I don't have the new model yet, but can tell you that it's exactly the same, EXCEPT it has a bolder option called Cafe Forte in two size options AND it has a built in frother! It's really easy to remove and clean. There are some other little features, too, that just make it even easier and more convenient to use. I would love to show you more recipes for Over Ice coffee - and I'm so excited that you're going to get it for your friend. I am telling you, I have never had fresher, more delicious tasting ice coffee. It's incredible. Just like the Japanese method of brewing coffee over ice - so super fresh because you're brewing and chilling at the same time, capturing all of that flavor. There's nothing like it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks for the quick reply Catherine. It's actually for my sister and she loves ice coffee from starbucks so I can't wait to give this to her as a gift.
Last question and I'm very happy you could do another video for the ice coffee drinks.
What type of coffee roast would work for the machine?
Thanks.
Any type of roast - it's all a matter of preference. I love very deep dark roasts and I don't like the blonde fruity roasts - it's one of the best things about the Ninja Coffee Bar, you can use your favorite and you can buy it fresh! Just be sure to grind it (or buy or have it ground at the store) to a medium coarse grind. Your sister will love going into Starbucks and buying a pound of coffee for $11 (which will give her about 60 cups of coffee!) instead of buying three iced coffees for $11!!
I looked up many recipes online and they're asking to use "ground". Is it ok to use ground as well? I guess they prefer people to use medium coarse? Any idea why?
Does this coffee pot have an off on switch
yes
Can I add diet sugar to the coffee grinds or that will destroy the machine?
Lydia Alvarido it won't hurt the machine at all - but I don't know if it will affect how the grounds bloom during the pre-infusion process. I can't imagine that it would have a negative effect. So if that is easier for you than putting the sugar in the bottom of your cup, then go for it!
Is it has a shut of button? Or how to turn it off after you done with ur coffee?
This Ninja Coffee Bar will automatically shut off after brewing.
Hey was wondering if you could make hot chocolate using this machine?
I want one its so versatile. 👍🏼😁
This realy helped! We have one of those and I was making breakfast is bed for mom
What an extra special treat for Mom --- xo
Catherine Gudvangen Thank You!! She loved it
I am glad I lost my instructions because this vodeyo was more fun than reading and probably covered all that was written in them!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but i am not a coffee drinker but i wanna get this for my mom lol. Anyways, while making the cappuccino when do you add the sugar?
+happyjunki3 Never a stupid question! You can add the sugar at any time. BUT, if you're making a cappuccino and want to keep the pretty layers and not mess them up by stirring in the sugar afterwards, you can froth the sugar or syrup into the milk and then you'll add the sweetness to the milk and not disturb the layers. Hope that helps!
Hello,
Thank you for such well put together video, i love it. However, one of the reasons I was searching for info on the Ninja coffee bar, its because I am not sure what kind or type of cups to use, the infomercial for the ninja only uses the ninja cups as I notice, but your weren't, at less they don't have the ninja logo. could you please let me know if OK to use our regular coffee cups? FY: my travel and coffee mugs were filled all to the top and no room for milk.
Thank you Ill really apppreciate your input!
Sincerely,
Bella!
+My channel Hi Bella! The Ninja cups are great because they are double-insulated and keep your coffee super warm - AND when you make a cappuccino, you can see the pretty layers! But you can use any cup - the Classic Cup brew is 10 oz and the Classic Travel brew is 14 oz. If you want room for milk, choose Rich Cup or Rich Travel - and your coffee will be just concentrated enough to allow room! And you'll still get that great coffee flavor, never watered down.
Hey you! You rock on camera! I should be so privileged to know you, and if I didn't know you, how I would LOVE to know you....so, where do I buy a Ninja Coffee Bar?
Where can I buy the glass coffee mugs?
I use my ninja coffee bar once or twice. I don't like the way the coffee tastes with it so I continue using the regular coffee maker!
Latisha Graham make sure you are using the Ninja Scoop with the correct amount of coffee! You might be using too much coffee. It is easy to do because we have grown so accustomed to using too much.
Im having this exact problem. My coffee tastes terrible and bitter and im using the right amount..
Great video, very informative. btw your kitchen would look so much better with a stainless steel fridge!
Enthusiastic, knowledgeable review, engaging host. Well done. I still prefer my old 12-cup dripper, though, or a French press.
What about dry creamer with warm coffee? I posted this video on my Facebook page. I'm trying to get family members or friends of mine to buy me one for my birthday, or Christmas this year since my sister broke my Neutra bullet machine.
Haha love the leverage! I think you will love the Ninja Coffee Bar. And coffee from the Ninja Coffee Bar starts off at the perfectly heated brewing temperature, so you can add your creamer right after it's brewed and it will dissolve. Then you can let it cool off a bit. Good luck with your family! Thanks for posting!
+Catherine Gudvangen does the machine have turning Diles? The reason why I ask is because I am totally blind and it will be hard for me to know how to do that to push a button and not see it.
+Catherine Gudvangen and I forgot to ask you, what does the coffee bar parts come with? Do I have to buy the blender and the frother?
If you buy it from TV, there is a special offer: here's the website: www.ninjakitchen.com/store/ -- it includes the frother and the blender.
It does have turning dials, but they are VERY easy to navigate. There are four positions for the SIZE: cup, travel, half carafe and carafe. Then there are four buttons for BREW: Classic, Rich, Over Ice and Specialty. Once you know them, you will be able to figure out how to set it.
Is there a reason as to why my coffee tastes bitter? I just got it. Im using the recommended scoops and my normal coffee.
Hi Karissa - it absolutely should not taste bitter. Be sure to use the Ninja Scoop and don't use heaping scoops. You will absolutely use less coffee than you have ever used in the past, you will love how much longer your coffee beans last! You might want to try to use a paper filter instead of the gold filter. Be sure to grind your coffee coarse. I know that I was in such a habit of overusing coffee that I started by using too much, it seemed like so little.

I’ve lost my scoop. Can you give measurements?
It’s probably on their website. Or google it
Does it take forever
A fraction of the time you have to stand in line at the coffee shop! And no, if you pre-grind your coffee, it is about one minute longer than a keurig. Totally worth it. And you can set it for the night before!! Brew right into your travel mug whenever you want.
I don't even have this coffee pot
And yep still watch video
Well done
Awesome😃 just received mine last week
do you like it??😂😂
I've had mine a week I love it!!
hi, extraordinary explanation, but I don't see when you put sugar on any of the coffee u made( ?? )
You can put sugar in whenever you would normally put sugar in -- or you can add syrups to the milk before frothing, it's a lovely infusion of subtle sweet. Yum!
but doesn't that mean you use more coffee if you putting 2 scoops in? I'm thinking about buying one
You use the same amount of coffee for whatever size you are brewing! So for a cup of classic or a cup of rich brew, you use 3 Ninja scoops (= 3 teaspoons). Auto IQ figures out how to brew your coffee more richer - you don't use more coffee! You only use more coffee if you are going to brew a larger volume of coffee. It's always the perfect amount of coffee flavor for the size and brew you are making. Consistency is key! No more guesswork. Perfect every time.
ok thanks. x
ok thanks. xx
