perfect and easy to use and a good espresso shot everywhere

Great

Performs as expected. It's very useful to have this in the backpack when I'm on the road. The fact I can make expresso on the road is very reassuring. Neat well thought out package. Simple to use. Materials feel very premium. I like that all you need fits inside the water chamber. I opted for the travel case. It holds 6 Nespresso pods and an extra head and barista towel. Note: Definitely try and source hot water. It helps with the battery.

Saca un buen café. Compatibilidad con cápsulas nespresso total. También puedes usarlo con café molido, obviamente es en esta manera cuando más rico, para mi, esta. La batería un poco justa a mi parecer pero suficiente. De momento la máquina funciona a la perfección.

Bekomme sehr guten Espresso, leicht unter der Qualität der Picopresso, mit etwas gröberem Mahlgrad (1 Click gröber) aber annähernd ähnlich. Wie bei der Picopresso heisser Wasservorlauf verbessert Geschmack. Tampern ist weniger professionnel als bei der Picopresso da nur mit dem plastik "Löffel" der beiliegt getampert werden kann. Um die genaue Quantität vom Kaffee zu bekommen stelle ich die Menge auf Maximum und breche manuel bei der gewünschten Menge (2 mal das Gewicht der Bohnen - Ratio 1/2) ab. Ich messe mit der Wage von Wacaco, funktionniert sehr gut und genau.

Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been very disappointing. During the first 2–3 uses, everything worked fine. However, with continued use, a serious issue started to appear. When using capsules (I always use original Nespresso capsules), the coffee chamber becomes vacuum-sealed after extraction. As a result, opening the capsule compartment becomes extremely difficult and requires a lot of force. It feels like the device is stuck under pressure, and even after letting it cool down — sometimes even waiting until the next day — it is still very hard to open. Because of this issue, the product has practically become unusable after only about 5 months of purchase. A coffee machine that cannot be opened easily after use is simply not functional.

This unit is awesome. I love my coffee and espresso and have dozens of wayto make both. It is somewhat of acpassion for me socafter having, using and loving their Nanopresso for years, I decided to give this a try for the convenience of not having to always boil water separately and also not havong to manually pump thw machine to build the pressure. I also love that this comes with the ability to also use Nespresso pods for when you just want a quick and easy double espresso. After playing with the grind size to find what works best for this machine I can confidently say that this is a great unit. I love the different brew temperatures that it allows you to use based on whether you're using a dark medium or light roast espresso I also like that you can add a pre-infusion or just do a direct brew as well. Typically what I like to do is bring my water almost up to temperature using a kettle and then just use the heating element in this machine to bring it to the exact temperature for my specific brew. I would highly recommend this unit if somebody's looking for something portable to make a great single espresso, Douglas espresso or Longo coffee. Also, this unit is very quick and easy to clean up after making an espresso much easier than my Nanopresso machine.
