GVODE Portable Espresso Machine, Self-Heating 3-in-1 Portable Coffee Maker, 20 Bar Electric Travel Espresso Maker for Capsules & Ground Coffee, Green

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Gvode Portable Espresso Maker, Self-heating, 3 N 1 electric coffee machine for camping, travel, etc. from Influenster, in exchange for my honest review! It's so neat I would have never even thought I needed something like this, but it's really handy. I mean the times to use are endless, if you're running late to work (it happens lol) and you need to make a cup at work, perfect! If you're on a road trip, perfect! Camping or glamping?! I mean you can also definitely use it at home too, spending the night and not sure if they share your same coffee love, just bring this! So easy to use, water boils almost instantly, and it's so compact! You can literally fit everything in its black case with a handle that is included. So glad to have this in my life now! ☕😁

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This device is remarkably user-friendly. Once fully charged, it is ready to produce three shots of espresso within a few minutes. It is constructed from very durable materials, heats up quickly, and is ideal for busy mornings or camping excursions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical of being able to make coffee while camping, but to my wife and I's surprise it works really well. 48 hours after charging it all the way, it still pumped out coffee for us. I only wish it came with a grinder to make the grounds so I could have freshly ground coffee. The espresso we made turned out great, with no grit from grounds in it. The carrying case makes it easy to keep everything together. Without it, I know we'd lose something.

I got this not for camping trips but to have a coffee maker to keep in my office. I use the OriginalLine Nespresso pods at home with a regular espresso machine, so I already have the "stock" to throw into my bag to bring to work. This takes a while to charge up. Mine came 75% charged but took I think over an hour to light up fully as charged. The parts and pieces feel solid, like there's a decent quality build to it. And, it worked. The coffee that came out of it tasted like, well I would say it was indistinguishable from what I get out of my normal Nespresso maker. That's not a surprise since the ingredients are water and the pods! It does take a while for the water to heat up, and the clean-up is more involved than what I deal with using my home maker. But, when traveling and not wanting to visit Starbucks, this will work. I would say it's of decent quality, not amazing quality. And the instructions are very particular about what charger block you may and may not use with this device. I think for a product in this price range, an expensive item, not to bother to include the specific charger you need is a worrisome indication about cost cutting to bring this product to market, so we'll have to see what other elements of manufacturing cheapness start to present themselves--I would say the thin metal stand looks to me like the first candidate to become an open example, but I hope not. I think this is a neato novelty item, but not an inexpensive one. It works, I'm not sure it'll last forever but many things don't anymore. One thing to be aware of: the instructions repeatedly emphasize that you must use only purified, distilled mineral water with this set. I don't know how many of you make that your practice when making coffee, much less carrying that while traveling. But that's going to be an extra hassle and expense if you want to use this item "by the book" that you wouldn't encounter under any other coffee making scenario.

Just wonderful product! Easy to assemble and charge. Makes an excellent demitasse cup of brewed espresso coffee in just minutes, that seem even quicker. Seems too good to be true, BUT IT IS real. Use a genuine espresso coffee. (I used Bustelo). GREAT!

The GVODE Electric Portable Espresso Machine 20 Mini Coffee Maker is truly a remarkable investment. I can attest to its reliability after facing a blizzard on the highway trapped for hours. While everyone else was in a frenzy, I calmly brewed my coffee steam coming out the cup temperature just right i am in chill mode with this incredible device. In 10 minutes, I enjoyed a fresh cup while others were left panicking. I can't recommend this product enough it's worth every dollar and truly elevates your coffees experience wherever you are!

this thing is so neat! It'll be great for times that we're in the car a while. i like that there's an option to add coffee grounds in the event you dont have the pods. it came with a nice sturdy case to keep it nice and protected when not in use.

This item was free in exchange for an honest review. I was not sure I would like this espresso machine as it's not a big fancy machine. Upon opening the box, there's a nice durable travel case. Everything is securely in its own place on the soft padding in the case. The machine came charged and ready for use. I charged it more just to be sure it was fully ready. I used a dolce gusta pod and pulled a shot within a few minutes of the machine being on. I used the shot in my protein shakes for an added boost. The machine is sturdy and nice. Feels solid. The case feels durable with a nice zipper closure. The machine does take a few minutes to heat the water fully. It will make my traveling much more pleasant now that I can make my usual espresso like at home in any hotel or air bnb.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly useless at a certain point. It takes FOREVER to charge and once it charges it can make maybe two coffees but that's pushing it. It also doesn't charge half of the time?? I'll leave it plugged in for hours and I come back and the light is no longer indicating charging. It's easy to use, has good instructions, and is in super compact packaging/attachments, but I can't imagine this being portable for real. If you tried to take it camping it would be virtually useless without somewhere to charge it.

The coffee maker only worked 3 times before it did not work anymore. Battery shows full but it just shuts off when you try to make coffee.
