Finally figured out how to actually brew coffee on my Ninja Hot & Cold system

[Thomas Martinez]

Ok so I got myself a Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System a little while back. Fiddled with it a bit more than I should of to get a decent cup of coffee out of it. But figured I’d share what I found to be the best method to get the best out of my Ninja machine.
Fill the water tanks with water, add the coffee grounds to the coffee basket (not the tea basket, I messed that one up initially!) Choose your desired cup size and brewing program, press the start button and the Ninja will brew your coffee in 1 to 2 minutes! Once I finally got the hang of the process it worked every single time!
I realize from experience that for those who are just as baffled by the coffee basket as I was when I first purchased the machine, this might have been a crucial part of the process for you all. But since I purchased the machine it has been running smoothly without any complaints from me! Did anyone else notice any quirks about the Ninja when first getting started with it?

the basket mix up is real, mine has the tea one labeled but its faded already after maybe 6 month. Ninja qc lol

Wait so you actualy messed up and put grounds in the tea basket? What happened, did it just dump everything through or did the water bypass it entirely? Curious because I almost did the same thing last weekend.

if you want actual coffee buy a moccamaster. These ninja things are fine for a dorm but lets not pretend

Quirk worth knowing: run a vinegar descale every couple months even if the light hasn’t come on yet. My Ninja started to brew much more slower after around the 8 month mark but a descaling fix it immediately. It’s hard water around here so ymmv.

1 to 2 minutes for a full carafe? thats not brewing its just hot water passing through the grounds lol
