This portable espresso machine is life-changing! It is so convenient to use, and I love that I can bring it with me anywhere. As someone who drinks a ton of coffee, this little gadget has allowed me to conveniently have fresh espresso in minutes.I actually prefer this machine over my regular coffee maker, and I have saved myself a lot of money by not having to go to coffee shops to order espresso drinks. Instead, I just make my own drinks by adding espresso shots into milk. It's also super versatile cause you can grind your own coffee beans and use ground coffee, or if you are feeling lazy, use coffee capsules for convenience. I sometimes keep coffee pods in my car and then just throw it in the espresso maker for a quick little energy boost.When I'm done with my coffee, cleaning the machine is also super easy because of how small it is. If I use coffee ground, I just dump that out and rinse out the container and cup, and if I used pods, I just rinse out the cup.Overall, I am super pleased with this product and would recommend to anyone that is looking for something that is portable and makes good coffee.
