Not sure how to clean your Ninja coffee maker properly? In this article, we’ll provide you with step-by-step instructions to ensure your machine stays clean and your coffee tastes amazing every time. Cleaning and descaling your Ninja coffee bar is easier than you think! Let’s get started.
We all know that what we can’t see, we don’t always clean. But when it comes to your coffee maker, keeping it clean is essential for a great-tasting cup of coffee. Cleaning your Ninja coffee maker only takes 10 minutes and has a huge impact. We recommend cleaning it once a week for optimal performance.
How to Clean a Ninja Coffee Maker
- Empty the carafe and the filter basket of any leftover coffee grounds.
- Remove all removable parts, such as the permanent filter, water reservoir, lid, and glass carafe, and hand wash them with mild detergent. These parts are dishwasher safe. However, the thermal carafe and brew basket should be hand washed.
- Wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Put everything back in place and fill the reservoir with clean, fresh water.
Pro tip: After each use, make it a habit to clean the carafe and filter basket. Discard the grounds and hand wash them with mild detergent. This will keep your machine clean, oil-free, and germ-free.
Remember to allow the brewer to cool before cleaning.
How to Descale a Ninja Coffee Maker
Descaling your Ninja coffee maker is just as important as regular cleaning. When the CLEAN light turns on, it’s time to descale your machine. Here’s how to do it:
- Empty the water reservoir, filter basket, and carafe of any leftover water or coffee grounds. Set the empty carafe under the brew basket.
- Prepare the descaling solution. We recommend using Full Circle Descaling Liquid, which is specially formulated for Ninja coffee bars.
- Follow the specific instructions based on your Ninja coffee maker’s date code. You can find the date code engraved on the plug prong at the end of the power cord. Refer to the original article for the date code details.
- After the descaling process, hand wash all removable parts with mild detergent and wipe the unit with a damp soft cloth. Fill the reservoir with fresh, clean water, and you’re ready to brew!
Troubleshooting: If the clean light remains on after descaling, it means there is still calcium build-up in the brewer. You’ll need to repeat the descaling process until the clean light turns off. If the issue persists, you can contact Ninja customer service for further assistance at 1-877-646-5288.
Now you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee that doesn’t taste like feet!
