Product Information

The pump at the top makes it easy to build pressure (a claimed 16 bars), with a handy stand at the bottom to keep things stable. Two cups are included, one to sit under the stand and one to measure hot water, with the tank holding up to 110ml. If you opt for ground coffee, you can fit up to 12g in the holder. Pay attention to things like size, weight, ease of assembly and disassembly. Also, the need for a power supply and/or kettle, and the inclusion of a carrying case when evaluating each machine. Some machines accommodate ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) pods or capsules, which saves you carrying around pre-ground beans or a grinder.

Should double shot basket (16g) take approximately same extraction time compared to single shot (8g)? The choice boils down to what you prefer and what your priorities are. While pods make lower quality espressos, they are easy to transport without the possibility of creating a mess in your luggage.

The company touts its True Crema Valve, a bit of engineering that helps compensate for a bad grind or poor tamping.

The extraction from the poorly ground coffee with the True Crema valve was better than the extraction without it.
