BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Become familiar with the MyJo

coffee maker parts (Fig. A) 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.
Caution: There is a sharp needle in the cup holder which is designed to puncture
the single serve cup. To prevent injury, do not place ngers in the cup holder.
Do not wash the MyJo

coffee maker in the dishwasher.
HOW TO USE
To prepare coffee or tea, follow the instructions below.
(To prepare hot cocoa and other beverages, refer to the instructions “To Prepare Hot
Cocoa and Other Beverages” on page 3 before beginning.)
The amount of water used with your MyJo

coffee maker will determine the strength
of your coffee or tea. For the rst use, ll the water reservoir to the ll lines suggested
below:
• For normal strength coffee or tea, ll to the 8-ounce line with water.
• For stronger coffee or tea, ll to the 6-ounce line with water.
• For weaker coffee or tea, ll 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 ll line markings provide the necessary water to produce 6, 8, and 10 ounces of brewed coffee or tea.
1. Place a K-Cup* pack or other commercially produced single serve cup into the cup holder
(Fig. B). Press down rmly on the single serve cup until the bottom of the cup is punctured. Caution:
There is a sharp needle in the cup holder. To prevent injury, do not place ngers in the cup holder.
2. Heat the water and assemble the unit using one of the following methods:
(Note: The optimal brewing temperature for coffee is 195°F to 205°F. The optimal brewing temperature for tea will vary depending
on the type of tea you are preparing. A product like the Presto

Heat ’n Steep

electric kettle, which has a built-in thermometer, is an
ideal way to heat water to the correct brewing or steeping temperature. For information on ordering a Presto

Heat ’n Steep

kettle,
call the Presto Consumer Service Department at 1-800-877-0441.)
A. Microwave:
• Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount of water.
• Place the lled reservoir in the microwave. Be sure the base is not attached to the reservoir, as the base is not microwave safe.
Heat the water to the desired temperature.
Caution: When handling the reservoir containing hot water, always grasp the red grip as the other portions of the reservoir will
be very hot.
• 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 rmly to the reservoir. Important: Press only the pump edge. Do not press the pump cap or pump.
• Grasp the red grip on the lled reservoir and place the reservoir onto the base. Screw on clockwise until tight.
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 lling it with water. Screw the reservoir on clockwise until tight. Then, place the unit
on a dry, level surface and carefully ll 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.
