    STARESSO Portable Espresso Machine - Manual Espresso with Rich & Thick Crema, Mini Coffee Maker Using Ground Coffee & Nespresso Pods, Handy Espresso Maker for Travel Camping Office Home Use

    • A slightly improved design would include improved materials (i.e. not plastic) for durability and heat retention.
    • I wish it was made of a bit more hefty material or a heavier plastic
    • The plunger has a brushed metal cap and the body is made of sturdy plastic
    • Even though the plastic seemed 100% fine and it wasn't a bad drop at all, after that I couldn't screw the parts back together
    • Only concern was - plastics are used for manufacturing for a light weight, but the manufacture stated all materials are BPA-free.
    • the espresso measuring cup which doubles as a tamper should be made of metal vs cheap plastic; otherwise, I highly recommend this space-saving machine.
    • The scoop is useful to tamp the coffee, but it is made out of a cheap plastic (hence 4 stars)
    • Cheap plastic part broke the first time I used it.
    • The quality of this product is a hard plastic and should be able to hold up under the frequent use I plan to put on this device.
    • Presumably due to the cheap plastic manufacture
    • Works well and makes good espresso - not as good as with a standard espresso machine, but very enjoyable.
    • At first I loved this espresso maker, and if it continued to work as it did originally I would give 5 stars
    • I don’t have those yet and it slows down my preparation.-Don’t bother with the pump on the Staresso to froth
    • n’t fine your coffee grounds too much
    • n’t recommend buying this product because of its flawed design mechanism
