QuestionI can’t figure out if I can brew a full carafe of coffee, how do I do this? I’ve been making single cup servings until now but if I have people over I’d like to brew a whole carafe instead.
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You have to remove the K-Cup holder and use the ground coffee basket. Once you slide the silver cover over the ground coffee, the machine will automatically switch to "bean" mode and allow you to chose different sizes from single cup up to a full carafe.

QuestionDoes any one have a problem of leaking from the double wall of the stainless steel Thermal Carafe? Mine is leaking and makes a mess pouring the coffee
Asked 3 years ago by Meny.
- Answer Yes, the exact same problem as you're having. I can see how it happens. Whoever designed this carafe wasn't goid at their job didn't take into account physics. There's a seam on the inside and the outside where the metal spout/rim sets into the black plastic handle. Every time coffee is poured a little bit of coffee drips down inside tbe handle. After the carafe is empty washed and dried I can shake the carafe & hear fluid that has built up inside the handle. The spout and handle should have been designed as one piece, not two.

QuestionAnybody have the secret to keeping the coffee in the thermal carafe hot? It doesn’t stay hot more than an hour. Maybe. Lid doesn’t close all the way is part of the problem.
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I fill the thermal carafe with hot water and let it stand for a few minutes, then dump the water out and proceed with brewing the pot. It does keep the coffee hotter for a longer period when it is prewarmed.

QuestionDoes the coffeemaker beep when done, and if so can that be turned off?
Asked 1 year ago by Renee.
- Answer The machine does beep when starting and at the end of a brewing cycle. It also beeps five times if the open / close slider is closed when it should be opened so that brewed coffe goes into the carafe. The beeping is not very loud, and cannot be turned off.

QuestionDoes anyone at Ninja Support know when the permanent filters for this model will become available again? Based on previous comments, it sounds like they've been out of stock for at least 2 months now.
Asked 3 years ago by nelliestarr.
- Answer If you want an absolutely perfect fit on a permanent coffee filter there is another coffee machine by GE (from their "Cafe" line) that uses the EXACT SAME permanent filter as these (Ninja's filter is basically perpetually out of stock unfortunately!) It's called "Filter Frame part #WC02X20407 If you have any trouble finding it, just find the Cafe Specialty Drip Coffee Maker on the GE Appliance website and go to the replacement parts section for that machine and you will see the filter listed there. Only way I found this out is that I was lucky enough to see the two machines side by side in a Best Buy store and I actually just opened the machines and test fit the filter into the Ninja and the fit was clearly perfect.

QuestionDoes it make espresso?
Asked 3 years ago by Kelly.
- Answer Kinda sorta. If you buy an espresso roast coffee or k-cup, it will come extremely close to a legit, tightly-packed, pressure-pumped espresso if you use the Specialty setting. If you're a purist, just know that this doesn't build up the pressure as a dedicated espresso machine does so you may be disappointed. I can't tell the difference if using a k-cup, but a connoisseur maybe can. Using grounds is a bit more obvious since it's only a gravity-fed drip that's being used to make the coffee.

QuestionCan you use ground coffee in k cup maker. Is there a pod section to brew grounds in k cup
Asked 1 month ago by Dee.
- Answer Hello Dee, Thank you for asking such a great question! The Ninja DualBrew is not compatible with reusable K-Cup filters. If you’d like to use ground coffee for single-serve brewing, we recommend switching to grounds mode and using either a paper filter or a permanent mesh filter for best results.

QuestionThe water reservoir gets mildew or algae or something stuck in the bottom underneath the black piece that is screwed down (instead of being able to be popped out). This is quite common. How do we clean it? Or do we trash it?
Asked 7 months ago by Ninjaistrash.
- Answer Try a cap of bleach in the reservoir and let it soak. Do not run the bleach solution through the machine. Hint. Put the bleach in before the water to mix it all together

QuestionCan you brew ice tea with ninja CfP301 a;nd CFP305?
Asked 10 months ago by Sam4.
- Answer Yes. Just use the boiling/ hot water feature. It dispenses whatever size you select directly into your cup or bowl. The machine dispenses it separately from the coffee dispenser so the hot water doesn't taste like coffee. Also great if you need hot water for a bowl of cereal.

QuestionCan I change the brewing temerature? The coffee isn't hot enough
Asked 11 months ago by mike.
- Answer No, the temperature is preset and cannot be adjusted. For hotter coffee, try preheating your mug, using the warming plate, or running a descaling cycle. If the issue persists, we invite you to contact our Ninja Kitchen Customer Service team at 1-800-365-0135. Our hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET, and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.

QuestionHow long does the thermal pot keep the coffee warm? Does the one with the glass and warming tray stay warm longer/
Asked 1 year ago by Jennifer.
- Answer The Intelligent Warming Plate on models with a glass carafe can be adjusted to stay on for up to 4 hours, with a default setting of 2 hours. This helps keep coffee warm for an extended period. In contrast, models with a thermal carafe do not include a warming plate. Instead, the thermal carafe uses double-walled insulation to retain heat. Since the insulation blocks external heat, a warming plate wouldn’t affect the coffee’s temperature inside the carafe.
