Questions & Answers
You don't put any money into it. There is no charger available. It has a mechanism that pops out so that you can pump out the coffee.
A separate thermos filled with hot water will be required.
This machine does not accept Nespresso pods, but there is an adapter available for purchase that allows you to use those pods, and it works perfectly. Three of these, as well as the adapters, were purchased. I gave one to my boyfriend so he could enjoy espresso while camping, and I gave the other two to my son-in-law and a family friend who enjoy both espresso and tea (Nespresso also makes tea pods). Everyone seems to like it so far, though I will say that you do have to pump it a lot, but we figure it's a two-for-one deal. fer . A hand workout and a cup of freshly brewed espresso (or tea)!
Hello, we recommend that you keep it separate from the rest of your belongings.

I like the new color, but in retrospect, I should have passed on this one. If you have the pod adapter, the case will not fit. When I travel, I prefer to travel in pods. Buy the Large case instead of the regular case if you want the regular black version. I got the barista kit for a bigger cup out of curiosity and laziness. Do you need to drink more? Simply refill the water reservoir and run it through the pod once more. There's no need for the barista equipment. It makes great coffee, and the nespresso pods are recyclable, but if you're on the go, Trader Joe's sells disposable pods. I'd buy a new one if I misplaced it. It's my first cup of coffee of the day, and it's the best (I use my aeropress for the rest of the day).
If I had known this was such a good deal, I would have purchased the entire set, including the barista kit, flask, and everything else. This is the best travel companion you'll ever have. br>br>I live in South Africa, so I'm always in the mountains, on hiking trails, safaris, camping, and so on. I'm currently working on ships, so this little machine is a must have for ship life. No batteries, no plugs, no gas, no stove, no heat required. Simply fill the pump with hot water and start pumping. br>br>Easy to clean, takes up very little space, great quality, cute design, easy to use, the ultimate coffee traveling kit, great protective cover, cleaning brush included (which I've never used because it's so easy to clean). If you like coffee and travel a lot but don't have this killer do-it-yourself project, this is the one for you. hicki- Get out there, jigi. br>br>I give it five out of five stars! P. br>br>P. br>br>P. br>br>P. Open a coffee shop with this little machine if you want sexy, defined forearms.
You'll still need a vessel to boil the water in. As a result, it isn't very transportable.
So, after reading a bunch of "Best Of" articles and reviews, I decided to give this little guy a shot (ha!). Wow! It's a fantastic piece of technology!! It's one of my favorites, and it's also a lot of fun to use. It's also very easy to clean up if you have running water. I'm sure cleaning up would be simple if you had a pot of clean water on hand. It makes a decent crema, and if you put boiling water in the tank, the espresso that comes out is "the right" temperature (according to me, I've not measured it with an instant-read thermometer). It's not the most accurate thermometer, but it feels right, and it's very easy to pump if you're concerned about that. I wish it could make doppios because that's what I prefer, but hey, I still enjoy it.
After I purchased this, I discovered that they also make smaller versions, so if you're considering purchasing one, it's worth looking into. But it's still a tiny one. It's not difficult to do. Boil some water, add some espresso and tamp it down with the provided tamper, pour the hot water into the bottom compartment, turn it over and pump the button a few times, and you're done- espresso! Mine always turns out nicely, as well.
So, when I ordered it for Christmas, it seemed incredible - It's cool, but you still have to boil water and pour it into the machine; at that price, I was hoping it would be a lot easier to use. The water reservoir is also a little shaky; mine doesn't fit snugly in place, allowing water to leak out and burn your hands. It's an interesting concept, but I'm not sure it's worth the price.
I also bought the add-on so that I could use individual tea pods. It was simple to operate and maintain for her. To send the water through the pod, heat the water, pour it into the cup, and attach and press the side button. When you're not at home and don't have access to a machine or a teapot, this is a great option.
This is a great little espresso machine that makes a great drink! I enjoy Americanos and was fed up with having to buy them at work or school. All I needed was a fine bean grind and hot water, so I could make this at my desk. It's a breeze to use and has a lot of fun with it. Cleaning up the pieces is a pain, but any coffee maker that doesn't use pods will have to do so. I can easily stuff the travel bag into my backpack. For singles, this book comes highly recommended. use as well as on- the- Espresso is the way to go.
