1. Priming the System:

• Fill the Water Reservoir: Use fresh, cool water to fill the reservoir up to the ‘Full’ line.

• Run a Water-Only Brew Cycle: Without adding coffee grounds or an espresso capsule, select the ‘Classic’ brew setting and initiate a full carafe brew. This cleans the internal components and prepares the machine for use.

2. Brewing Coffee with Grounds:

• Add Coffee Grounds: Use the Ninja Smart Scoop™ to measure the appropriate amount of coffee grounds based on your desired brew size. Refer to the measurement chart in the owner’s guide for exact quantities.

• Select Brew Size and Style: Choose your preferred brew size (e.g., cup, travel mug, half carafe) and style (e.g., Classic, Rich, Over Ice) using the control panel.

• Start Brewing: Place your cup or carafe under the brew basket and press the ‘Start Brew’ button.

3. Brewing Espresso with Capsules:

• Insert Espresso Capsule: Lift the lever to open the capsule compartment. Insert a compatible espresso capsule and close the lever securely.

• Select Espresso Size: Choose between ‘Espresso’ (1.35 oz) or ‘Lungo’ (3.75 oz) based on your preference.

• Begin Extraction: Place your espresso cup under the capsule spout and press the ‘Start Brew’ button.

4. Frothing Milk:

• Prepare the Frother: Attach the frother whisk to the integrated frother arm.

• Froth Milk: Pour cold milk into a cup, submerge the frother whisk, and press the frothing button. Froth until you achieve the desired milk texture.
