The water tank is removable and sports wild ridges, too.
Underneath the tank you'll find the Coffee Bar's long control panel. Aside from a
digital clock and controls to operate programmable brewing functions, the panel
houses buttons and dials to select multiple styles of drip java making. Additionally
You'll find settings to correct coffee brewing to the size of your intended coffee
Container (more on this subject later). There's a handy "drip stop" light here as well
which illuminates when you flip a matching switch on the filter basket.
A most flexible brewer
In a similar approach to Breville's YouBrew machine, the Ninja Coffee Bar
Offers multiple brewing modes designed to suit your personal tastes and the style
Of beverage you prefer. For instance hitting a "classic brew" button tells the
machine to create a drink with, "smooth and balanced flavor" or in other words
Basic drip.
Likewise the product manual promises that a key labeled "rich brew" will yield
java that's "richer than classic brew but still smooth." The idea here is coffee that
has enough flavor to stand up to milk, sugar, and other condiments.
The most potent option the Coffee Bar provides is a "specialty brew" mode which
whips up concentrated coffee liquid that's made to form the building blocks of
espresso-based specialty beverages like cappuccinos, flat whites and lattes. To
that end, bundled with the Coffee Bar is a frother accessory built to manually
aerate its contents into milk foam.

There's a sizable control panel with lots of brewing modes and size
options.
When the weather gets too hot to handle, the Ninja has a dedicated "over ice
Brew" function also. Essentially you fill up the Coffee Bar's carafe to the brim
with large ice cubes, add grounds and water as you would normally, and the
Machine will care for the rest.
Coffee size and water smarts
Another boon to the Ninja Coffee bar's flexibility is its ability to control how much
Water it uses no matter what brewing mode you decide to activate. Indeed, a
Prominent knob in the center of the control panel permits you to choose between
four coffee volume settings. These range from the standard full carafe (38
ounces), half carafe (19 ounces), down to travel mugs (14 ounces), and a single
coffee cup (9.5 ounces).

Pick the brew size to match your vessel.
Remember that these volumes are what you can expect using "classic brew"
mode. Moving to "rich brew" mode drops the amount of final brew liquid down a
bit (35.5, 17.8, 13.2 and 8.8 ounces, respectively). The most concentrated
"specialty brew" setting will yield drastically less liquid, between 10, 5, 4, and 3.1
Ounces across the same spectrum of container size settings.

However, I have a fantastic idea what's inside the gadget's special sauce.
To eliminate as many variables as possible, I used the same full carafe setting to
Measure the results of all of the various brewing modes. And as instructed by the
Manual, I also stuck with an identical amount of ground coffee (2.3 ounces,
medium grind of Costco House Blend) which is what I use as my default.
Additionally for each test I filled the Coffee Bar's tank with 42 ounces of water.
Keep in mind this is slightly above the maximum 38 ounces the machine
automatically pulls during its "classic brew" mode. .
