Possible Causes

Too coarse coffee grind, Insufficient coffee grounds, Brew basket not fully saturating grounds, Water temperature too low due to scale

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before disassembling brew components.

Adjust coffee and grind:

  • Use a medium grind suitable for drip brewing.
  • Increase the amount of coffee within Ninja's recommended scoop guidelines.

Ensure proper saturation:

  • Clean the showerhead/brew head to ensure even water distribution.
  • Descale the machine to restore proper brewing temperature.

Run a test brew and adjust coffee dose and grind until desired strength is achieved.
