• Place the assembled coffee maker over the selected coffee mug.
• Position the coffee maker and mug directly in front of you. Grasp the coffee maker base with one hand
and place the palm of your other hand on the pump cap (Fig. C). If using a tall travel mug, grasp the top
portion of the mug instead of the coffee maker base.
NOTE:
Another method for pumping the water is by placing one hand over the other (Fig. D). However,
do not use this method when using tall mugs, such as travel mugs.
• Using the palm of your hand, gradually press down on the pump cap, keeping your hand down until the
coffee or tea ceases to flow. Release and allow the pump to return to the original position and press down
again. Repeat this process until all the water is expelled through the single serve pack and into your coffee
mug. You will hear a swoosh when all of the water has been expelled.
• Lift the coffee maker off the coffee mug and place the coffee maker on a plate or in the sink to catch any
residual drops.
• Enjoy your fresh brewed coffee or tea!
To Prepare Hot Cocoa and Other Beverages
When using your MyJo
™
coffee maker to prepare other beverages, such as hot cocoa, cappuccino, or hot cider,
BEFORE inserting the single serve pack into the holder, place the base over your mug. This will allow any
powder residue to be contained in your mug once the pack is punctured since these types of single serve beverages do not have a filter.
For the first use, fill the water reservoir to the 6-ounce line. For subsequent uses, adjust the amount of water as desired.
CARE AND ClEANING
1. Unscrew the base from the reservoir. Turn the base over and use your finger to push the bottom of the used single serve pack out
of the holder. Discard the pack.
Caution!
There is a sharp needle in the pack holder. To prevent injury, do not place fingers in the
pack holder.
2. Pull the pump off of the reservoir and wash the pump, reservoir, and base in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry.
Do not wash the MyJo
™
coffee maker in the dishwasher.
3. There is a silicone valve located in the inside bottom of the reservoir. If you notice the valve contains
coffee grounds or residue, you should remove it for cleaning. The easiest way to do this is by gently
poking the valve at an angle from underneath the reservoir with a blunt object (Fig. E), such as a Q-tip*
cotton swab or the eraser end of a pencil.
NOTE:
There is a slit in the center of the valve so push gently on the outer edge of the valve. Wash the
valve in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and reposition the valve in the inside bottom of the reservoir. Use the tip of your index finger or
fingernail to press the outer edge tightly in the groove on the floor of the reservoir.
QUESTIONS AND ANSwERS
(Troubleshooting)
water is seeping out between the base and reservoir. what is happening?
You probably do not have the base screwed on tightly to the water reservoir. Tighten and refill the reservoir with water.
I notice water is leaking out of the reservoir when it’s not attached to the base. why?
There are a couple of things that may be causing this:
• There is a silicone valve located in the inside bottom of the reservoir. The valve may not be seated properly. Use the tip of your index
finger or your fingernail to press around the edge of the valve so it fits snugly into the groove on the floor of the reservoir.
• The valve may be dirty. Remove the valve from the reservoir and clean it as instructed above in step 3 of the “Care and Cleaning”
section.
when I press down on the pump nothing seems to be happening. what am I doing wrong?
You may not have the pump fully attached to the reservoir and air is escaping. Be sure to press all the way around the pump edge so the
ridged portion (see Fig. A, page 2) is fully engaged inside the reservoir rim.
You also may not be applying enough pressure as you are pumping. Stand so you are directly over the coffee maker and press on the
pump. Hold the pump down until the coffee ceases to flow, release and allow the pump to return to its original position, and repeat
process.
