This build-up is known as limescale and can become hard & impenetrable over time. Descaling your coffee machine breaks down the substance, clearing the device of any calcium deposits build-up.
Necessary Steps
Step 1
Organize Your Descaling Solution: If you’re using a descaling solution, make sure you follow the instructions of that specific brand. The instructions are usually at the back of the container in an easy to understand format.
If you’re using white vinegar, add two cups of white vinegar into the water reservoir and fill it up with water. Make sure filled water does not cross the max fill line of the reservoir. Now the water reservoir is filled with vinegar and water.
Step 2
Positioning Your Parts: Now that you have your solution ready ensure your decanter is securely placed in your coffee maker. This ensures your cleaning solution has a receptacle to run the clean cycle through.
For optimal results, you can select the ‘Full Carafe size’ setting for a proper clean.
Step 3
Running the Clean Cycle: The Ninja Coffee Machine has been designed to run a clean cycle that reaches all the vital places. It runs the descaling solution past the tubing and efficiently breaks down the limescale build-up.

Step 4
The Flush Cycle: The following step in the process is depending on the model of your coffee maker. Some models don’t have the rinse cycle. If yours has, then it’s ideal for running the flush cycle straight after the clean cycle has stopped. Don’t wait for more than 15 minutes; otherwise, you will have to start the entire cycle all over again by press the clean button.
To activate the flush cycle, wash your water reservoir and carafe & fill it up with fresh water. You’ll see the word “Flush” flashing on the display screen. Press the clean button, and the flush cycle will commence. It will take approximately eight minutes for the cycle to run.
But what happens if your coffee maker doesn’t have this rinse cycle? Simply fill the reservoir with clean water and run a cycle. This will be an empty cycle with only water and no coffee added. Do this twice for a thorough flush through the tubing to avoid any cleaner remaining.
Step 5
Rinse and Clean: It’s now time to clean the removable parts of your coffee bar. Use your small brush for all the smaller parts and clean with soapy water. Rinse well and assemble the machine.
