OutIn Nano Portable Electric Espresso Machine, Travel Coffee Maker for Camping, Car Coffee Maker Self-Heating with USB-C, With Ground Coffee & NS Capsule for RV, Hiking, Office

I have been using the outin nano as my daily espresso machine for ~ 6 months now, and it has become one of my favorite products across all of the things that I own. I have extensively used both the included nespresso adapter and the nano basket plus (separate accessory). For ~$200 with accessories, this little machine makes exceptional coffee that stands up as a daily driver. The nano basket makes a significantly better shot than nespresso pods, but the pods are hard to beat for convenience. The basket does require attention to grind size and mass of coffee for consistent results. Also, and unsurprisingly, there is no shot pressure control, so grind size, mass, and amount of water used are the only variables available to adjust your extraction. If you don't yet have a grinder you like, I've found that ~17.5g of Illy's classic espresso grind or decaf is a good place to start. I have not used the included espresso basket as it is significantly smaller than the nano basket and has too many plastic components for my comfort.Beyond making a solid cup of espresso, this unit really shines in it's portability- it can be tossed in a bag for car camping, road trips, or hotel stays. It is sheer luxury to be able to get back to a hotel or AirBnB late or wake up early to dependably delicious coffee. Also, for those who are nomadic, it is liberating to be able to stick your espresso setup in a bag as you move from one location to the next. More amazing, in a pinch, espresso can be made completely on battery power (as opposed to using a kettle to boil the water first), though this uses up battery life fast.I also purchased outin's stand, which seems expensive at $40, but is well built and so far sturdy enough to stand up to daily use. Also, it is surprisingly helpful, and I would not want to go back to not having it. The other necessary accessory is a scale, I have had good luck with this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097Q89BZN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1.I do have some nits. The chief one is that if you plan to make multiple shots of espresso back to back, the metal basket gets quite hot / somewhat challenging to empty and refill. I am hopeful that they will make it possible to buy multiple baskets without needing to buy a full kit to make this issue go away. Also, my first outin broke after ~ a month from what was likely a manufacturing defect. However, Outin responded quickly to my support request and sent me a replacement unit with very little back and forth. The replacement has worked flawlessly since.Overall, I have really enjoyed my outin nano and recommend it highly.

I have been traveling a lot lately and this machine has been rock solid and consistent. I’ve been using it twice a day for several weeks to make Americano coffees. This paired with the water bottle type heaters for traveling has worked amazingly well.I have used both the ground coffee adapter, and the pod adapter, and they both taste very good and consistent. I have switched to the pods for traveling and it has made it very quick and convenient to make a coffee, not having to worry about a hand grinder and dealing with the coffee grounds. But when I’m at home, I do use the ground coffee adapter and it makes very good espresso shots. So far I have had no issues with the device and with the preheated water to 171° I can get easily seven or eight coffee shots. I have yet to run it out of battery while making coffee.

After much research I settled on this Outln Portable Electric Espresso Machine. My standards are high -- I use a large Jura and a smaller Nespresso at home, but I wanted a light portable machine I could us on the road. I was amazed at the quality and ease of use of the Outln. I love the simple steps and the quality output of such a small machine. I used Peet's capsules and as long as you tighten the cover around the capsule tightly -- it works like a dream and delivers nice crema.

Here is the good: it is small, it makes great coffee, it is battery poweredHere is the meh: the maximum allowed liquid quantity is just too small. Need to be able to make two espressos.Here is the ugly: really the battery capacity needs to be doubled. The fact that it only makes 2 espressos on a charge is frankly ridiculous and I had an instance where the machine quit on the second cup. To add insult to injury - if you plug it into the charger you can't complete the brew. It does not work when it is out of juice and charging. So you need to open it up, drain the water and carry it to the charger (with the ground coffee inside) ... it is just weird like that.Need to make at least 4 brews with the knowledge that once the battery starts to age you get at least the 2 promised brews.Need to operate while plugged into the charger. The worst thing to happen is when you making coffee for a special someone and the whole rig stops working in the middle of the process and you simply don't have the 20 minutes to wait for it to get charged.

Had this 3 months, have put approximately 100 shots through it. It makes espresso very similar to a Nespresso machine - it uses espresso pods! The real neat trick is you can take it with you whenever you please- I’ve used it on a plane, on a long drive, and traveling when hotels have bad coffee. If you can preheat the water it will last forever- a recent three week trip to China I made 2-3 a day and it was still on 4/4 battery lights. Been getting 4 shots reliably from room temp, sometimes 5. One bonus: my son got stung by a jellyfish during a recent beach trip, and to make a warm compress I ran water through it without a coffee pod directly onto a towel. It worked great and got rid of the pain/swelling from the jellyfish sting!I’ve found the build quality to be excellent, feels like a really nice product.

Was a little bit skeptical, but oh my gosh, this thing is absolutely amazing coffee maker, i use nesspresso pods (vanigla and volluto) and coffee is reach smells great, price is good for such portable thing, for now i use hot water, will test with cold water when be not at home. Also great idea to take some nice espresso cups. Cleaning is very easy just follow instructionsAdd: so since I bought it i charged it once, i make two espresso every morning, using hot water, and one time used cold to test… and it is still 3 dots of battery, this thing is unstoppable, i like it every morning more and more
