This is the perfect gift for a coffee lover.

Have just returned from a weekend camp where this little gadget met my coffee need. The espresso produced through pumping boiled water through the system had a fabulous crema and gave as smooth a drink to the tongue as one might dream of. The Nespresso adapter made it easy and quick, and I hadn’t expected there to be a bag with it but that’s a bonus to keep things together, and clean. Its small size dropped easily in to my rucksack, though you do need a stove or flask of boiling hot water. The choice of ground or pod gives great flexibility in coffee choice. It works well, looks good, and I didn’t have any issues at all. With Nespresso adapter fitted the unit fits in the main bag. Don’t forget there’s a cup that pulls off the water tank which I failed to see on making my first drink- shown in the picture. Pumping away the unit pressured well with no leaks. Now to save up for a barista kit!

I’ve been saving this in my cart for almost a year now. With several upcoming short and long trips, I finally decided to buy it to see if it was worth the money and carryon real estate. Now I wish I had bought it sooner. I reviewed this using Original Line Nespresso pods, which I plan to take with me (for convenience) on travel. I tested it 3 times.Pros: it is compact, (somewhat) light, and fits in a handy drawstring carry bag. It easily fits in a backpack or carryon suitcase. It comes with an Original Line Nespresso pod adapter (but careful—-see “con” below) as well as an adapter, a cup, and a measuring spoon for regular grounds. It works on human power, bike-pump style, not electricity or batteries, which means it can be used literally anywhere. I used both thumbs and about 15-20 good presses. It makes rich espresso, albeit not as “crem-ey” as a regular espresso machine.Cons: I marked it down a half point as it is more like a 4.5/5. Be careful of 3 things. First, after using, when removing the used Nespresso pod, be sure to unscrew only the extractor adapter top lid, not the silver metal ring below the pod. The adapter is what holds the pod in place to better extract the coffee. Do not dump it into the trash by mistake. Like I did :-p 😅!!!! Second, screw the water and pod adapter lids extra tight. Water leakage is possible during pumping, which can result in burns. Finally, if you use this for backpacking, or are really mindful of weight, it is solid (not flimsy, which is good; but it does have a bit of heft).But true coffee addicts will likely sacrifice other weighty items to keep their coffee ritual intact!!!!Neutral: you must provide your own boiling water. Usually you get (or can easily find) boiling water wherever you go. My thinking is, if it provided that feature, it would likely require some kind of electrical heating element, which would add weight, so I do not personally view that as a negative.All said, it is nice to know that I will never again go without my Nespresso or good coffee, whether I’m visiting friends or staying at some random hotel on business or holiday.A must for traveling coffee addicts.Update: Tried it on a recent road trip (in an area notorious for bad coffee). Worked like a charm. Love that requires no batteries or electricity and that the process is intuitive. Nespresso-espresso smells and tastes delicious after extracted from the devise. THIS is now going with me on most recreational and business trips. Worth making room for it in carryons. Highly recommend.

Çok keyifli bir şey. Kahvenin lezzetini gayet yoğun veriyor, el gücüyle sıkmaya rağmen harika köpüğü bile bardağa akıyor. Tek sorun istediğim sıcaklıkta olmuyor. Belki öncesinde bardağında da sıcak su bekletmek istenilen sıcaklığa ulaşmayı sağlayabilir.

It’s pretty amazing for being so small. It produces good espresso, both from grounds and pods. One thing to be aware of: hand strength and coordination are important for pushing the plunger, because you hold the unit vertically and push the plunger in sideways, not down.I had a problem with the first adapter (for using pods, not grounds) not puncturing the pods, so no water flowed through the pod. I asked a question online and one answer suggested that I had a defective unit. I returned/exchanged for a new one, and sure enough, that was the problem. The new adapter has longer spikes which puncture just fine.The plastic parts are pretty thick, seem as if they won’t break any time soon. Took me awhile to figure out where the cup that was pictured is. It’s the outer shell of the water container, you have to wiggle, not unscrew, to get it off. I just carry a small insulated cup with the unit which I think works better. But the unit really does have everything you need, except the coffee and the water heater.

First of all this unit is smaller than expected and is a neat little product. The built quality is great and the plastic feels solid in your hands. There are only pros on the product side.But does it do good coffee? Well it depends. If you use your own grounded coffee you’ll have to find the right grains, grounded at the right thickness for the foam to appear and for the coffee to taste good. Plus handling the coffee beans is a messy business, especially if you use this in the wilderness.So I would recommend using the nespresso pod adaptor to make your coffee. Using the nespresso adaptor, the coffee was not bad and produced a lot of foam.Unless you like single shot espressos, you’ll probably have to invest in the barista kit to have a bigger water container. Alternatively you can pour 2 cups but this just makes the process messier and not as convenient.All in all, this is a nice gadget if you need your coffee anywhere you are.

Produit tout à fait surprenant dont je ne me sépare plus.Très pratique en voyage : une capsule et il suffit de chauffer de l'eau (de Volvic, par exemple) sur le réchaud de camping (alcool, pastille "esbit" ou autre...) pour avoir un café *bien meilleur* qu'avec les cafetières électriques proposées par la principale marque de capsules ! Je n'ai aucune explication logique à ce fait mais nous sommes plusieurs amateurs de café à l'avoir constaté sur des capsules de différentes marques (Nespresso, Lobodis, Terre de café, Cap mundo...)L'ensemble prend peu de place, même dans un sac à dos et n'est pas bien lourd. Je conseillerais l'étui proposé en option car fort pratique, justement, dans le sac à dos... ou à l'extérieur, avec un petit mousqueton. Prévoir aussi quelques chiffons pour essuyer l'appareil avant de le ranger.La démultiplication du "pompage" est très bien étudiée et on ne force pas du tout.Petit défaut : le "chargeur à capsules" gratte un peu en vissant, peut-être un léger défaut d'usinage, ça ne gêne pas le fonctionnement mais c'est dommage.À noter. Attention : on manipule l'eau très chaude, avec un peu d'inattention, j'ai réussi à me brûler légèrement aux doigts. Par ailleurs, certaines capsules, parfois, ne "percent" pas, l'eau coule autour de la capsule. Un petit coup de pointe de couteau dans la pellicule et ça marche.J'ai eu un produit similaire mais pour "capsules souples" et qui ressemble à une pompe à vélo. Pas pratique du tout et café sans caractère. Je m'en suis servi deux ou trois fois et l'ai oublié dans un placard.Je n'ai pas encore testé avec du café fraîchement moulu (sans l'option "capsule"), ce que je ferai une fois rentré chez moi... à bientôt donc :)Si mon commentaire vous a plu, cliquez sur "j'aime" :)

I cannot believe they actually created such a product like this. This is absolutely unbelievable. How many of you love espresso coffee black? Maybe with or without sugar. For me I don't drink coffee or espresso without cream and sugar. Can't stand black coffee espresso because it is usually too bitter. However this Nanopresso will change your mind. I love drinking the espresso black still with some sugar. You get incredible rich crema that taste no different than spending hundred's if not a thousand plus on a machine. It almost tastes like cream was added but it's not. It is the 18 millibar pressure that squeezes incredible flavor out of the coffee. Not only this and this is where I just can't wrap my brain around this one. There is zero bitter taste! I have had other espresso machines and you get that espresso bitter taste in your pallet. No way in the world a starbucks esspresso taste as good as this little device can make. Plus it is portable so you can take it with you. I cannot understand why this has not been one of those CES inventions of the year. This is truly a man on the moon invention. And then you get the price. Seriously? Unbelievable inexpensive! I have waited a while to review this product because I wanted to run it through my tests. I use this every day. Try making cappuccinos with a good frother for the milk and there is no need to go to starbucks. Personally if I was the CEO of starbucks I would buy out the company just so that they would never sell another unit. This is a game changer and a threat to the big coffee outlets. Could only give it five stars because that is all the stars amazon gives. It is worth 10 stars. Do I love this product. Yes. And it is not hype. Try it for yourself.
