Makita DCM501Z Li-Ion Cordless Coffee Maker, Batteries and Charger Not Included, Blue, 10.8 V to 18 V

Product Information

This portable coffee maker from AICOK is marketed heavily as the best espresso machine for camping or travel… and we’re actually inclined to believe them.

It comes with a built-in tamper and measuring scoop, so you can make a perfect cup of coffee every time. The newly improved black coffee and caramel pod from Senseo gives you all the sweetness you need without having to add sugar. While battery-powered coffee makers offer a lot of convenience for those who are constantly on the road or who just like to enjoy a cup of quality coffee when they travel, they might not be suitable for every circumstance.The Makita DCM501Z covers all the bases – fill it with water and it will heat it up and then brew up to 15 ounces of coffee in a few minutes. Alternatively, take a look at durable thermoses and brew any kind of coffee of your choice to take with you that will preserve the heat of the brew on the go.

All in all, it makes a great cup of pour-over coffee but the primary thing that is holding it back is the fact that you need to have hot water on hand if you’re going to use it. The strong roast blend has been roasted a little longer to give it that extra kick with bolder, roasty coffee flavours. I’m not quite sure why they’ve done this as you’re not always going to be out on-site without mains power.

With 18 bars of pressure, it heats up to 92°C/198°F to bring you decent flavored espresso and rich crema. But it is an excellent coffee maker to have on hand in case you lose power or want hot coffee when you go camping.

This is made with the workman in mind who wants a hard earned coffee but may not have access to power or other options. The mug has been designed to fit snugly into the machine so that you don’t get splashed by scolding hot water.

The Minipresso GR Espresso Machine by WACACO is a manually operated, portable espresso maker that does not require electricity or batteries. The machine’s automaticity allows you to rest on your work breaks without worrying about the hassle of having to remember what to turn off and when.
