Minipresso NS, Portable Espresso Machine, Compatible with *Nespresso®* CAPSULES and compatibles, Small Travel Coffee Maker, Manually Operated Coffee Machine for Camping

Good quality item works really well if you follow directions, pods work differently depending on brand Starbucks pods work really well and costa need pushing in more firmly so trial and error. Easy to clean perfectly sized for travel. Would buy again

Initial feelings on unboxing were those of happiness. The wrong instructions were included - for the ground coffee and not for the NS model. But it's obvious from the products ergonomics where to put the Nespresso pod. The quality feels solid on the threads used to screw the unit together. I washed with hot water first and flushed with hot water to warm the unit. I think this is a good idea, as it would also be to warm the cup you are using too. I filled it up with water, added a Nespresso pod. Screwed together and started to pump. You need to do it pretty firmly, and after 4 pumps as the pressure in the unit builds, you could hear the pod inside engage with some very sharp teeth which puncture the pod. Don't touch the sharp teeth!! Strong coffee started to flow. I'd say after three pumps you could stop and you'd have a very intense ristretto style. I kept going as I like mine a bit weaker than that. Obviously the more you pour the weaker the coffee gets. I recommend to put about 10% more water than you would normally use into the reservoir so you have sufficient for your beverage. Just stop pumping when you're done. It was a little stiff to undo the pressure containing piece after I drank the coffee. No real mess. A rinse and it's ready to go again. Coffee was excellent. If I had to compare it to my dedicated Nespresso machine I'd say it's 95%... but extremely close. Maybe a tiny tiny bit thinner but really it could just be me. It's very good. Very convenient. And seems on initial experience, well built. Only word of warning: it involves pouring boiling water into a small reservoir, and then screwing parts together. So you need to be careful and have somewhere safe and stable to make the drink of you could quite easily knock it or spill water on your hand and hurt yourself. Really nice portable product. Intuitive enough to use without the instructions. Would make a great gift for a coffee lover if they already have a favourite Nespresso flavour, so they can replicate it on the move. It makes one coffee at a time and I'd say it takes two minutes or so from when your water is boiled to put it together and product the drink. So you probably wouldn't want to make a round of 10 cofffee with it. Really for a solo or couple of coffees on the go. Highly recommended

Makes great coffee, for a time. All reviews about the potential for burns are true and the thread on the top part which holds the pod is very fiddly. My real beef with this is that it stopped working after a few months (after making probably 50 cups of coffee). Regardless of how tightly I put it together, it leaked from the pump, or the water bypassed the pod and came out more or less clear. No visible damage to any part, suspect the internal seals are not up to the job. Shame. Quite a lot of money for something which gave up the ghost so soon.

I am mightily impressed by this. I love coffee and making Moka at home and nespresso in the office. In general I don't like coffee shop espresso (which I drink). I don't put milk so acidic single origin coffee at fancy coffee shops doesn't appeal to me. I also don't want to be spending 3 pounds for coffee chain coffee. I have been eyeing a portable nespresso machine for the last two years. I was between this or one that is also heating the water and has a mechanised pump. I recently started a new position that at the kitchen I can't plug a machine. So I couldn't bring my nespresso machine. But there is a boiling water smart tap. When the Black Friday sale came, I thought it was time to get one. Here is my review after 3 weeks of use. The good * well made and designed * very light and small size easy to carry back and forth * very nice crema * very nice coffee The acceptable annoyances : * Doesn't do well with some pods (it doesn't puncture them well, and sometimes they come out crashed after pulling a shot) * sometimes water comes out without going through the capsule * hard to open the bottom after brewing (would have been better to have a slight grip on the top to help the twisting) The bad : Pricey when you can buy portable powered machines with the same price

Makes a good espresso on the go. I travel for work and got tired of instant coffee. Get one of these, some pods and great espresso wherever you are!

Had a bad experience with one of these machines only to realise you don’t go at like a bull in a china shop. If you had flabby arms before you won’t after. I tried the heat the unit and cup method and with a dash of hot water left in the cup. Makes the best and smoothest crema going .i am a coffee snob since I was 10 I’m 55 now I can take this out with me have great coffee and tone my arms at the same time . So glad I bought the device . Pods much easier especially on my bad brain days . In conclusion fluffing great coffee Update 13.12.25 ———————- I have been this solidly for a month and I have to say who ever invented this is an outdoorsy person . This devise is built to last Easy to clean And for someone with acromegaly my sausage fingers can work and get the pods out the device with ease I adore the case you buy as an add on Fab for not a) losing one’s pods ( crime do sure ) and b) protection the unit too Love love the pod case and it fits so nicely into the case Looks super flash in the park opening it up and it’s just all there Thank you Wacaco

Excelente para llevar de viaje

This is an excellent product. It is practical in size and functionality and easy to use.

Tenía dudas pero tengo que admitir que el café sale bien como una normal Nespresso. Creía que lo iba a usar en vacaciones pero lo he estrenado en el apagón! Merece la pena

Lichtgewicht, doet perfect wat ie moet doen en ziet er nog mooi uit ook. Jammer dat de case er niet standaard bij zit, die heb ik er nu apart bij gekocht.

Killer product, the pour is even better than the machine Must buy for coffee lovers
