STARESSO Portable Espresso Machine MINI with Carrier Box - Manual Espresso Maker with Rich & Thick Crema, Compatible with Nespresso Pods & Ground Coffee, Suitable for Travel Outdoors Home and Office

Esta excelente nunca imagine poder disfrutar de un expreso casi perfecto hecho por una máquina Manual muy recomendable

The media could not be loaded.  Convenient travel espresso machine without electricity and all you need is coffee grounds of ANY type, and water. The construction is SOLID. I'm a big guy so stuff tends to break easily with my hands...not this portable espresso machine. It holds just about 1 K cup or like small coffee pod, has an easy to read water fill line and once you figure out how to pop-up the pumper it is super simple to use. I made a video on how to work it from opening the box to ready to drink in less than 5 minutes!Clean up was stupid simple, NO soap needed but if you want to sanitize I would recommend thoroughly rinsing so you don't have any soapy residue in your coffee. I made enough for me to add to a coffee cup, added some ice cubes, and chocolate milk...it was honestly better than I expected. NO grounds in the coffee and the flavor was as robust as the coffee said it should be. I honestly would NEVER buy a coffee machine like this before but now I have tested it out I cannot believe these weren't invented sooner, and more widely available. This is a MUST for ALL coffee drinking campers, vacationers, office workers who travel, loggers or even athletes on the go who want "their" coffee wherever they go! Don't trust motel coffee makers, bring your own and enjoy you own cup of Joe any way you want it on the go!

Works very well, so far have used it for 2-3 weeks and at times i bring it in my lab so my colleagues can try it out too.Easy to use and even easier to clean.However, i have to say that, you have to act fast and make sure to pre-heat the cup and likely make a quick hot pass with no coffee so that all the parts are preheated. If not, the coffee will be warm at best.I’d say that the company should include here and there some copper parts that can retain the heat from a 1st pass and add more metallic parts where ever hot water is in contact with so make sure that the hot coffee remains hot.Little room for improvement and I’d be willing to buy it again for 89.95 $ (LOL) if ugraded.You’ll get a good to great shot if you reheat it all and don’t hesitate to get the best coffee you can (Malongo is def on top of my list)

This thing is just what I need for camping trips. Since it can use finely ground coffee OR Nespresso Original espresso pods, it provides versitility that one may want during a light pack camp out--so if by chance you can score ten packs of Nespresso capsules on the cheap, you're having a gourmet experience. At first, the setup seemed just a little tricky, but that was all cancelled out after 2 tries with it. It does not take a lot of work to pump the water from the spring-loaded plunger--it takes more effort to saw sticks for starting a fire. And the results come out great each time I have used it. Since it's stainless steel and silicone, it just needs a rinse in warm water and a wipe down with a towel, and it's ready to store.I've tried making a shot of espresso with both hot and cold water; both ways, it came out great.It makes quality espresso much like an aero press, while also being easier to set up and offering the option for compact clean espresso pods. Again: if you're doing some solo camping, this device is what you're looking for.

Than the classic, but It's perfect for vacations. I just need to pay for milk wherever I end up or bring it in a separate bottle, along with sugar if camping. BEWARE: If you have the classic or have purchased the upgrade to the new bottom filter and nespresso pod attachment, TSA may make you check it instead of putting it in your carryon due to the sharp edges. Just beware, depends on the airport and the TSA agent. And this took me 30 minutes of discussion (AFTER I willingly checked the entire kit not just the nespresso pod adapter).
