CONQUECO Portable Coffee Maker - 12V Travel Espresso Machine -15 Bar Pressure One-Button Operation with Rechargeable Battery BPA Free for Camping, Driving, Home and Office (Black)

The picture of the product is very misleading. The cup looks nearly full . You have to wait a long ten minutes to work and when it does you only get a little dribble out, not even a mouthful. Sent back totally not worth the money. Very disappointed

I travel a lot and am addicted to strong coffee, something that far too many hotels worldwide fail to provide (or do so at ludicrous prices)! This machine provides my Nespresso hit wherever I am in the world whenever I want it. Most hotel rooms have a kettle, so when using boiling water, the espresso arrives in about 15 seconds and a single battery charge lasts for a good 20 cups, although if using cold water, it is much, much slower and drains the battery, so you will only get about 3 cups per charge. Please note that this does not produce lungo size cups, but something between ristretto and espresso size if filled full with water.My one only came with a European plug for the power adaptor, but I contacted Conqueco and they very quickly sent out the UK and US plugs for the adaptor, so I am now OK for worldwide travel - excellent customer service.Very good value for money and is making my travels far better. Highly recommended.

Too slow with cold water (30 mins per espresso shot) & only 3 cups per charge in 1.5 hrs (rubbish if you are with someone) ! So take a flask of boiling water or buy a travel kettle etc. Then it is BELISSIMO !! Unapproved process ... With hot water remove the fiited bottom cup & top cover. Fit your tasty coffee pod of choice. Carefully & on a solid level surface place whole unit into a 'standard' mug (it fits perfect) Fill to line with hot water & set on '2 beeps' pump mode. Keep topping hot water to get quantity / strength you want. The machine keeps pumping as long as water is in the top bowl. Lovely SPOT ON brew & many almost instant cups from 1 charge... PERFECTO yum yum. PS It works with Amazon own brand tasty lungo / ristretto pods too ! @ around 8p a cup.. This is my new best travel coffee friend... once we are out of lockdown this bad boy will be rocking the world with us.

Fresh coffee while out and about, sounds great. However, only a few cups before the battery needs a recharge might be seen as a down side, but I could live with that is it did a larger drink. This is just for expresso size, forget Lungo or any other size this is strictly for the expresso drinkers. On a full charge it takes about 10 minutes with room temp water as a starting point. It will only hold enough water for a single drink, so you'll have to also carry a supply of water along with the pod(s). It won't run off the 12v on your car/motorbike only charge.That said it works and eventually you'll get a good expresso. For what it is I do like it, but it has room for improvement.

I didn’t want to buy a full size pod machine as I already have a pump espresso maker that I don’t want to get rid of, and no more counter space. Cue this little fellow!You have a choice when using this machine, either to pump hot water through that you pour in yourself, or to let it heat up cold water and pump that through. If you opt for the first method, the battery will last you ages - just bear in mind that the heating element consumes battery power at an almost frantic rate, so if you’re on the road and want to make a hot coffee from cold water, take the in-car charger that comes with it, so you can top it up to use later in the day if you want. There’s no USB charging variant, so you can’t use a power bank. As I’m using it at home, I just boil the kettle and use the hot water method - it’s also much quicker. I haven’t tried the on-board water heating as the instructions said it took ten minutes to go from switch-on to completed espresso. I’m not patient enough for that!They’re also absolutely not kidding when they say Nespresso/L’Or pods, by the way. Any ‘compatible’ brands are highly unlikely to fit as the rims are a bit too thick. Certainly, it was - at first - a real struggle to get the pod chamber to shut, even with appropriate pods, but once I finally got it to screw shut, I’ve not had a problem since. Maybe it was just me.Very impressed with the performance so far; ideal for making a quick coffee on the go.

This is a really useful piece of kit. It makes Nespresso quickly when you use boiling water or it can boil water itself using its battery. It's SO much better than my last one (different make) and much quicker to clean. After six months, the unit failed but they quickly replaced it for me . Super impressive!

I have been looking for a car coffee maker for a while. Trying to find something to work on 12V and make a good espresso coffee would be difficult. After reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot.The machine works as expected, and I would say, for long trips, where you cannot stop in certain countries due to quarantine rules, it fits the right gap for your coffee needs.On the ease of use, I must say, it took me a few tries to get it to the coffee I want. The best way for me was not to pus the capsule fully in, but rather left the lid push the capsule while screwing it. This allows for the lid pins to pierce the foil, and let the coffee out when under pressure.One thing that is worth mentioning, while in the car, you can plug it in the 12V socket and use it without battery, so you are not limited to the 3 cups/battery. (this was missed in the instructions)Overall, a good purchase. If you ever get stuck on how to use it, the customer service will respond quick.
