Portable Espresso Machine with Strap, 3 in 1 Coffee Maker, One-Touch Operation, Rechargeable Cold Brew Up to 60 Cups, for Ground, Ideal for Camping, RV & Outdoor, Home, Heating in Plug-in Mode

Makes a good cup of hot espresso coffee...if you have it plugged in or use hot water. I have not figured out the difference between the espresso and the americano settings, since how much your cup is filled is dependent on how much water you put in. This is not a fast machine. It takes a while to heat the water before it actually pushes it through the coffee filter. If you want instant gratification, this is not the espresso machine for you. If you can wait a couple of minutes then it is perfectly fine. I recently tried the cold water setting to make my coffee. It was actually quite good. Good value for the money. Slim design. Good flavor. Good value. A bit slow.

It makes great espresso and it has a nice layer of crema on the espresso which my old espresso machine doesn't do. The cold brew that it makes is great, too. What I didn't know when i bought it was that it doesn't heat the water when using with battery. It only heats up when using 110v. The description got updated now to make it more clear that if you use battery power you either heat the water on a stove or fire or you drink a cold brew, which i must say does taste really good.

Portable and easy to carry. It is so convenient for outings. Went to see the sunrise and to be able to drink a hot fresh cup of coffee was priceless. My friends were amazed when they saw it. I was definitely the coolest one at the beach.

Item was missing components. Unable to use, returned.

first off i will say the first shot of espresso i made with this machine was incredible. i was shocked. it was better tasting than what my delonghi makes on some days. this was after cleaning it out and plugging it in to make sure the battery was charged. i ran it plugged in. this is important because................... this machine needs 400 watts for the heating element to function. no portable lithium battery will provide this. like all portable espresso machines of various sizes this requires you to use hot water in order to use it, unless its plugged in. what sets this thing apart from those smaller machines is that this also functions as a real espresso machine. BUT, most cheap car inverters will power this thing. if you are like me and have always wanted an espresso machine in your personal vehicle this can still be it. 400 watts is far less power than my normal espresso machines use. so this is bigger than a aeropress, smaller than a full size espresso machine, and has the same noise level you would expect from a real espresso machine with a real water pump. no idea if its really 15 bar or whatever it claims but it made a real shot of espresso with good crema so i really dont care. i think this is a good deal for what you get. ultra portable espresso machine, its incredible.

This is a really cool coffee maker if you have a reason to brew on the go, you can. It is pretty compact and comes with a shoulder strap. I plan on putting it in my camper, so I will plug it in for hot coffee mostly. It is cool that you can brew cold brew on the battery. That being said, I brewed some espresso in it, it was so good that I plan to use it in the house when it isn't camping season. It makes an excellent brew, better than my old espresso machine. It is a really sharp design, it is a sturdy item. I really like it a lot.

Giving this 3 stars and not 1 because I was possibly not using it correctly. I could not get the water to warm up and make an espresso. Really difficult to use especially at the camp site. Was not user friendly.

Bought this to use in the camper. You have to put in hot water so as long as you have a hot water source you are good. It will also do cold brew which is fine. It’s easy to use and makes a great little espresso shot! Super portable and a rechargeable battery is pretty slick. Not a bad little machine for the money, even gives you a little crema too!
