Overview
A campsite, hotel room or office desk works as the setting for this pocket-size plastic espresso maker. Hot water is forced through an original capsule by a hand-driven piston.
The reason to buy is espresso away from a kitchen without a cord or an outlet. The limit is manual effort and the need to bring hot water along.
Who it's for
Campers, hikers and travelers who want a capsule shot anywhere will use the compact body. Home users wanting automatic brewing or a milk system should choose a countertop machine.
Pros and cons
- No power needed
- Compact for travel
- Reusable filter listed
- Manual control of pumping
- Takes capsules only, not grounds
- Heating not included in listing
- Needs manual pumping effort
Performance notes
Pressure builds inside the chamber as you work the piston, and that pressure drives water through the capsule. How firmly and how long you pump affects the extraction, and the small capacity limits it to a single short shot.
