Coffee Time!
Ah, coffee time—it’s the best part of the day. That first sip of warm, caffeinated goodness can make the world brighter, your smile bigger, and your mood lighter. But, as with all good things, it comes with one caveat: cleaning time! Yes, to get the full flavor and enjoyment out of your Ninja coffee maker, you need to give it some TLC and keep it spic and span. Don’t worry though, it’s not as difficult as it might seem. Let’s explore the best practices for keeping your Ninja Coffee Maker sparkling clean and running smoothly.
How to Clean Your Ninja Coffee Maker
Keeping your Ninja coffee maker clean is essential for a tasty cup of joe and a healthy brewing cycle. To begin, you’ll need a few items to get the job done:
- White Vinegar
- Soft Sponge
- Soft Cloth
- Paper Towel
Now let’s get to scrubbing!
Step 1: Rinse and Replace the Filter
The first step to keeping your Ninja coffee maker squeaky clean is to rinse and replace the filter. Start by removing the filter, tossing it in the trash, and replacing it with a new one. After that, fill the empty carafe with cold water and a three-to-one white vinegar-water solution. Place the carafe on the top of the coffee maker, turn it on for a few seconds and then turn it off. Let the viscous mixture sit for one minute. After the allotted time is up, turn the machine back on and let the vinegar-water solution pass through the coffee maker and then turn off the machine again. Finally, discard the solution and rinse the carafe with cold water two or three times and then let it air dry.
Step 2: Wipe Down the Outside
Once you’ve taken care of the carafe and filter, it’s time to move on to the rest of the coffee maker. Start by wiping down the outside surfaces, including the top and sides, with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. You may need a mild abrasive cleaner to tackle any tough spots. To finish, rinse off and then dry the surfaces with a paper towel.
Step 3: Clean the Lid and Brew Basket
Your Ninja coffee maker comes with an easy-to-remove lid and brew basket that have to be cleaned separately. To start, detach the lid and the brew basket from the top of the machine, then soak them in warm, soapy water. After soaking for a few minutes, you can scrub them with a soft sponge to get rid of any excess grime. When you’re done, rinse them off with warm water and let them air dry.
Step 4: Ten-Minute Soak
The final step for cleaning your Ninja coffee maker is to give the whole machine a ten-minute soak. All you need to do is fill the carafe with two cups of white vinegar and two cups of cold water. Place the carafe on the top of the machine and turn it on. Let the mixture pass through the coffee maker and then turn off the machine. After the ten minute soak is complete, discard the solution and rinse the carafe with cold water two or three times. Finally, let the carafe air dry or dry it off with a paper towel.
Preventive Maintenance
The best way to keep your Ninja coffee maker in top shape is to clean it regularly and take care of any dirt and grime as soon as it appears. You should also make sure to replace the filter every three months and perform the ten-minute soak once a month. A little preventive maintenance goes a long way in keeping your Ninja coffee maker running smoothly and your coffee tasting great.
Cleaning your Ninja coffee maker doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right materials and a few easy steps, you’ll have your coffee maker spic and span in no time. So grab your supplies, put on some motivation music, and get to work! The rewards are in direct proportion to the effort. Enjoy!
