IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, when using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

  1. Read all instructions.
  2. Extreme caution must be used when handling a coffee maker containing hot liquid. Do not touch hot surfaces. Grasp the red
    reservoir grip when handling the reservoir containing hot water.
  3. To prevent the risk of injury, avoid contacting the needle in the pack holder.
  4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
  5. Do not use in the event the coffee maker malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
  6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may damage the unit or cause injuries.
  7. Use only water in your MyJo coffee maker. Do not fill with any other liquid.
  8. Do not fill above the 10-ounce fill line.
  9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
  10. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

Before First Use

  1. Become familiar with the MyJo coffee maker parts (Fig. A, page 2) and read the following information.
  2. Unscrew the base from the reservoir. Then pull out the pump from the reservoir and remove all contents from inside the reservoir.
  3. Wash the coffee maker parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Do not wash the MyJo coffee maker in the dishwasher. CAUTION! There is a sharp needle in the pack holder which is designed to puncture the single serve pack. To prevent injury, do not place fingers in the pack holder.

How To Use

To Prepare Coffee or Tea
The amount of water used with your MyJo coffee maker will determine the strength of your coffee or tea. For the first use, fill the water reservoir to the fill lines suggested below:

  • For normal strength coffee or tea, fill to the 8-ounce line with water.
  • For stronger coffee or tea, fill to the 6-ounce line with water.
  • For weaker coffee or tea, fill to the 10-ounce line with water.

For subsequent uses, adjust the strength, if necessary, by simply increasing or decreasing the amount of water as desired. Note: The fill line markings provide the necessary water to produce 6, 8, and 10 ounces of brewed coffee or tea.

  1. Place a single serve pack into the pack holder (Fig. B). Press down firmly on the single serve pack until the bottom of the pack is punctured.
  2. Heat the water and assemble the unit using one of the following methods:
Microwave

A. Microwave:

  • Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount of water.
  • Place the filled reservoir in the microwave. Be sure the base is not attached to the reservoir, as the base is not microwave safe. Heat water to the desired temperature.
  • Push the pump cap onto the top of the pump.
  • Attach the pump to the reservoir. Insert the ridged portion of the pump into the reservoir, pressing around the pump edge until the pump is attached firmly to the reservoir. Important: Press only the pump edge. Do not press the pump cap or pump.
  • Grasp the red grip on the filled reservoir and place the reservoir onto the base. Screw on clockwise until tight.

Tea Kettle

B. Tea Kettle:

  • Use an electric or stovetop tea kettle and heat water to the desired temperature.
  • Attach the base to the reservoir prior to filling it with water. Screw the reservoir on clockwise until tight. Then, place the unit on a dry, level surface and carefully fill the reservoir with the desired amount of heated water. CAUTION! Do not hold onto the reservoir when pouring hot water into it.
  • Push the pump cap onto the top of the pump.
  • Attach the pump to the reservoir. Insert the ridged portion of the pump into the reservoir, pressing around the pump edge until the pump is attached firmly to the reservoir.
    Important: Press only the pump edge. Do not press the pump cap or pump.

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 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?
  • On occasion, the slit in the silicone valve may reseal after manufacturing. This prevents water from being expelled through the unit. Remove the silicone valve from the inside bottom of the reservoir (Fig. E). Pinch the valve and rotate it between your fingers until the slit opens. Reposition the valve in the reservoir and proceed to make your coffee.
  • Sometimes, I prefer to use my own coffee grounds rather than a single serve pack. Is there a refillable filter cup that I can use with the MyJo coffee maker?
    Yes. There is one cup that is designed to work in the MyJo coffee maker, the MyJo Cup. To order, see page 4. Do not use any other brand of cup.
