I love my Ninja Coffee Bar! It makes the most amazing coffee, and I can enjoy a variety of flavors right in my own kitchen. But like any other appliance, it requires regular cleaning to keep it running smoothly. One of the most important parts to clean on the Ninja Coffee Bar is the water reservoir. In this step-by-step guide, I will show you how to clean the water reservoir on a Ninja Coffee Bar to ensure that your coffee machine continues to brew the perfect cup of joe every time.
Gather Supplies
Before we get started on cleaning the water reservoir, let’s make sure we have all the necessary supplies. You will need a clean, lint-free cloth, mild dish soap, warm water, and a sponge or brush. It’s important to use mild dish soap to avoid any strong smells or tastes being transferred to your coffee.
Step 1: Unplug the Ninja Coffee Bar and Empty the Water Reservoir
The first step in cleaning the water reservoir is to unplug your Ninja Coffee Bar from the electrical outlet. Safety first! Then, remove any remaining water from the reservoir by pouring it into the sink. Be careful not to spill any water on the machine itself or any nearby electrical components.
Step 2: Remove the Water Reservoir from the Coffee Bar
Now that the water reservoir is empty, it’s time to remove it from the coffee bar. Gently lift up and pull the water reservoir towards you until it is detached from the machine. Set it aside on a clean and flat surface. You are now ready to move on to the next step.
Step 3: Disassemble the Water Reservoir
To clean the water reservoir thoroughly, you will need to disassemble it. Start by removing the lid of the reservoir. Some models may have a flip-top lid, while others may have a twist-off lid. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model. Place the lid aside for cleaning later.
Next, remove the water filter assembly. This usually consists of a plastic frame and a mesh filter. Gently lift the filter assembly out of the reservoir and set it aside.
Step 4: Clean the Water Reservoir
Now that the water reservoir is disassembled, it’s time to clean each component. Fill your sink or a basin with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Place the reservoir, lid, and water filter assembly into the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes.
After soaking, use a sponge or brush to scrub the inside and outside of the water reservoir, paying special attention to any hard-to-reach areas. Rinse each component thoroughly under warm running water to remove any soap residue. Use the clean, lint-free cloth to dry the reservoir, lid, and water filter assembly completely before reassembling.
Step 5: Reassemble the Water Reservoir
Now that the water reservoir and its components are clean and dry, it’s time to put everything back together. Start by placing the water filter assembly back into the reservoir, making sure it is fitted securely. Next, attach the lid back onto the reservoir. Again, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model.
Step 6: Return the Water Reservoir to the Ninja Coffee Bar
With the water reservoir reassembled, it’s time to return it to its place in the Ninja Coffee Bar. Gently slide the water reservoir back into the machine, aligning it with the designated slot. Make sure it is firmly connected and in the correct position.
Step 7: Run a Cleaning Cycle
To ensure that any remaining cleaning agents or residue is removed from the water reservoir, it’s recommended to run a cleaning cycle. Fill the reservoir with clean, filtered water and activate the cleaning function on your Ninja Coffee Bar. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for running a cleaning cycle on your specific model.
Step 8: Clean the Exterior of the Ninja Coffee Bar
Cleaning the water reservoir is not the only important aspect of maintaining your Ninja Coffee Bar. The exterior of the machine can accumulate dust, fingerprints, and spills. Don’t forget to clean it regularly too! Use a damp cloth to wipe down the outside surfaces of the coffee bar, including the control panel. Remember to dry it thoroughly afterwards.
Conclusion

By following this step-by-step guide, you can ensure that your coffee machine continues to brew the perfect cup of coffee every time.
