Can I use milk and sugar?

Absolutely! Use any additional flavoring products for your coffee that you would normally use and the JoGo will function as intended.

Does the filter get clogged?

JoGo is designed with a fine micron-metal mesh that keeps out the particulates while preventing clogging.

Can I use the straw for tea, or other beverages?

Loose leaf tea works great with the JoGo! It can be used to enjoy any beverage, including cocktails with mint leaves and muddled fruit, fresh juice, and seeds. You can even remove the filter and use it as a regular straw!

Is it easy to burn your mouth drinking hot coffee through a straw?

Drinking hot liquid through a straw is actually no different than sipping it out of a mug. As with any hot beverage, let it cool to your comfort level, and then take a small test sip. JoGo’s pinchable tip allows for maximum control over the flow of liquid, while its insulated and food-grade silicone keeps your lips cool. As an added bonus, drinking coffee and tea through a straw can help reduce unwanted teeth stains.

What size of grind type do I need to use?

Do you have any testimonials?

“I’m a guy who loves to be outdoors and drink good coffee. And I don’t want to have all of the hassle or mess of dealing with filters, coffee makers, or any of that stuff. So the JoGo is perfect for me. It’s so good and allows me to use it wherever I am, camping and at the office.” - Will Shafroth, Conservation Leader and Outdoor Explorer

“I appreciate simplicity with coffee brewing, and the JoGo allows me to simply grind coffee, pour some hot water on it, and enjoy a cup. It reminds me of how I do coffee tastings in the mountains of Guatemala and other origin-countries, or in education and cupping labs – where all we use is just ground coffee and hot water.” – Matt Milletto, Chief Executive Officer of Water Avenue Coffee and Vice President of Bellissimo Coffee Advisors

“The coffee flavor is outstanding, but what I am surprised by is that I am not getting any grounds, only coffee. It’s filtering out the grounds and not clogging up at all–it’s awesome. This will be a staple item on all my future trips.” – Evan Jones, Wilderness Guide, and Former NOLS Instructor

“Wow, that’s really good. I didn’t expect it to actually taste good too!” – Co-founder’s Mother

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
