This brewer uses a brewing technology called Thermal Flavor Extraction that differs from the traditional brewing process other coffee brewers use. It uses a precise combination of moisture, temperature and time to pull all of the flavor from the coffee grounds and into your cup.

The Ninja Coffee Bar models have been discontinued and replaced by the Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System. Don't worry, though, the Hot and Cold Brewed System has all of the features that made the Coffee Bar so popular.

The Ninja Coffee Bar is designed to brew between 137 and 175 degrees Fahrenheit.

The oven has digital dial temperature controls from 250 to 425 degrees with a 6-hour timer. The stovetop function can be set to low (simmer), medium (saute) or high (sear). The slow cook function is programmable with low, high and buffet (warm) settings.

The temperature range varies depending on the function: Air Fry: 150°C–230°C. Roast: 120°C–260°C. Dehydrate: 40°C–90°C.

Once the Ninja Coffee Bar has brewed the first cup, the brewer is pre-warmed. This enables any following brews to be slightly hotter. For a hotter first cup, after plugging in and turning on your brewer by pressing the Power button, allow 3 minutes for your brewer to pre-heat.
