An update on the Presto MyJo coffee maker...Lol. I can hardly write this without starting to laugh. I am keeping the Presto MyJo coffee maker. It is not a rip-off. BUT,...have you ever played an accordian? I have. And believe me,...that little pump up on top of this coffee maker isn't just there for decoration, nor for a gentle encouragement to move the coffee on down into the coffee grounds and into your cup. Nope. That pump is there to give your arm a workout like your physical therapist hadn't even thought up for you yet. I hadn't worked so hard since playing accordian for my religious meetings.

I will probably make a judiciously small extra cut in the silicon valve so that coffee can flow down faster and easier.


Next morning now...
I made tiny cuts in the silicon valve, so now I don't have to pump so hard to get the water/coffee to move through the grounds. But, by the time the coffee gets to the cup, it isn't hot enough for me. So, then I have to re-heat it. This is too much trouble.
