Portable Single Shot Mini Espresso Maker - Compact Travel Size - Easy to Use for Delicious Espresso Coffee Anywhere

Working long EMS shifts, I'd have to say that this is one of the best investments I have made. It is super portable and very easy to use and clean on the go. It makes a decent enough cup of espresso, and now I do not need to buy coffe while on shift. Construction seems sturdy and durable. I have only had it 2 days so far, but have already put many cups through it and no leaks. The orings and seals seem like they will last quite a while. I am glad(so far) that I did not spend $80+ for more expensive models that appear to do exactly the same thing. One thing that this does not do, that some of the more expensive ones have the ability for, is take nespresso pods. For me this doesn't detract from it, as filling the perma filter isn't a big deal. Overall I am extremely satisfied with this device.

It makes a good tasting shot. You most likely need to run the whole cycle more than once if you're making a larger drink but it works like a charm. I use it pretty much every day now.

This became unusable after a couple months because the plunger would progressively squirt more and more boiling water back at my hand as time went by.

I loved this product at first. Its easy to use, clean, and has great flavor. However after 3 months of use, it broke and will not let the espresso come out anymore. I recommend getting an espresso stovetop maker which is what I use now. It is way faster, less steps, still easy to clean, and you can make a larger batch at once.

Got this as a birthday gift from my girlfriend, and I couldn't be happier. Thought I'd give making espresso a try after having brewed coffee many different ways, and this machine definitely makes the process easy and fun. In the time it takes to boil water, you will have a great shot of espresso. Very easy to use, but requires some attention to detail to put together for use, because it is very easy to cross-thread the end you put the grounds in, as well as the threads on the water tank on the other end. I have been using it consistently at home, and plan to take it on trips for work. It works like a charm every time, and makes a very smooth and tasty espresso with the Lavazza Cafe Espresso grounds I get from Kroger. Just be sure to clean it well and let the individual pieces air dry before putting it back together, or if you're in a rush, towel dry it thoroughly before putting it back together.

I've only used this product once, just got it in the mail last night. As long as you read the directions, it's really easy to use. Now, espresso is a broad term and is very subjective to a lot of people. What came out of this machine is what I believe to be espresso, but it was a tad watery. I'm sure I can just fill it to just below the MAX line so it's more concentrated, but again it was a little watery. Also, kind of lots of parts to clean, WHICH IS FINE, but you'll definitely need a mat to dry them on after you wash them. BIGGEST THING: I totally understand that when you order a cheap, randomish sort of item on Amazon, you might not get what you paid for. I DID get a portable espresso machine (shown above), however it is from a company called KitchenPROP and not Abode Source, if that makes sense. Totally fine, because I got what I paid for, but it's not what is listed, just as a warning.

I am an espresso snob, so I was skeptical if this would pull a good shot. It works great! Crema is there and the flavor is on point. I perfected how much water to use for my own preference by my second try. Love that this is portable! I think I'll be popular when camping!

The first one that I got broke after the first use. A small price fell out. Not durable enough especially if you are on the go.
