Customer reviews
Amazing espresso, takes a bit of time and work but it is so worth it
This is my initial reaction review and I will hopefully update with more info on reliability in the future. Amazing! I have made a total of 10 shots on this over the first 2 days of owning it, and aside from being unable to sleep due to the caffeine, I am as happy as a pig in mud. I have a good conical stainless burr grinder set for espresso (sugar grains or a bit smaller, I can almost compact in using pinch test). First shot I pulled the machine out of the box and just followed the instructions. Kinda weird tasting and I didn't pack it enough or add enough grounds. Definitely some strange chemicals in there so I took it apart all the way, washed with soap and water, rinsed, then blew out the portafilter and the showerhead thingy with compressed air. I did not and would strongly recommend not using compressed air on the pump. The chemical smell comes from the rubber cap for the showerhead thingy that has a single hole in it. It isn't gone but is fading with use. The taste of the 2nd shot after cleaning was much better but not quite strong enough for me. I took out the spacer to allow the basket to go up to 12g of coffee. I find that 10g fits perfectly and is accomplished by putting the funnel into the basket and filling it to approximately 1/8 inch below full. Then tamp it with scoop a bit, remove funnel, tamp tight. Preheat machine with a few pumps of boiling water. Screw on bottom, fill top with boil water. Pump 8-9 times, you can feel it pressurize. Wait 15 seconds then pump steadily til it pumps no more. This makes an amazing shot to my only slightly coffee snob self. Cleanup is not bad, I unscrew the bottom over trash tilted away from fingers so I don't get burnt. Tap on edge of can til puck falls out. Take out showerhead from main pump and the filter from the basket. Remove rubber washers. Rinse everything. Dry everything. Reassemble. Take a few minutes but I'd rather have it clean and sealing properly every time. I got the case and extra baskets. Both are great and worth the money. I can go from in the case with cold water to a triple shot 22oz Americano in approx 12 minutes, 15 if you include cleanup. I start the kettle, grind 30g, pack all 3 filters. By that time the water is boiling and I can brew each filter one after the other. I rinse the showerhead/pump between shots to ensure it seals properly. I'm gonna use the hell out of this thing and report back on how long it lasts. If it breaks I may consider moving to the picopresso but I will definitely at least be purchasing another one of these.

Mini marvel
I bought this about a month ago and wanted to wait to write a review until I'd used it for a while. I was slightly nervous of buying it because of the price, but I have to say that I'm really impressed. I work in an office in central London where all the surrounding chain cafes turn out so-so espresso for between £1.50-2.00/shot, and was fed up of that. This really has solved that issue and pretty soon I'll break even on the investment of buying it vs the cost of buying coffees out all the time. It's a really, really small and nifty device, extremely quick and easy to use and clean, and crucially - makes very good espresso, easily as good if not better than the espresso sold in many cafes. Yes, it takes a few days to get used to, and without question it won't suit everyone; it is a (bit) messy and requires careful cleaning to get the best from it, and if you're looking for espresso right up there like that from a proper machine, sure you'll be disappointed - but this is basically a 20cm long bike pump that makes coffee, so give it a break! All I can say is that it works well for me and really is quick and easy to use, allows you to select your own coffee type of choice, and so to my mind is well worth it. I now use it at least daily, if not twice a day, during the working week, and envisage my taking it on holiday too: I could imagine anyone who regularly goes camping, etc. finding it especially useful.

Best Espresso!!
Bit of an espresso snob here. Owned an espresso stand in Seattle, and always looking for something that will give the perfect crema. Wow is this little thing a gold mine!! I am not sure if it’s the way it is pumped and extracted but OMG. First time in my life I can sip 2 shots with no cream! By far the best espresso shots. So perfect for traveling, airports, hotels, camping- you know, all the places you have been before where you just wish you could have an excellent cup of espresso. All these places have access to boiling water, so this is a game changer for taste, budget, & convenience. I loved this so much, I just bought another one. Cause let’s face it, every time we find something we love, it’s hard to replace later when we want another one. Happy cupping!

Great Espresso device!
This thing makes a great little espresso shot with creama! Two capacities to customize strength. No power/batteries needed (except for hot water!). Compact, well made, easy to clean. It takes around 60 pumps to get all the water through which provides A nice little finger exercise. At home I cup it between my palms and stabilize over a mug rather than using the little attached cup - but great that that is included for trips. I had owned an aero press, but much prefer what I get from this, and it’s so much easier to use than a Moka pot!
