I make a single shot and then dump if into my weak coffee and it tastes so much better

Its small and you literally get an anemic shot of espresso that no matter how hard you try will not make that dribble hot

Here are a few pro's and con's:Pro's:- makes great cooffee- easy to use anywhere (I make "desk lattes" at work)- works great with nespresso brand podsCon's:- if your water isn't at the max heat, your shot will be too cold

BUT... it brews a perfect shot of Nespresso once it does get going - with a frothy head and everything

Just pump fast enough to match the flow, and you will get the right brew time and a great shot

This is what will yield a decently hot shot of Nespresso, but sadly I believe boiling/near-boiling water is also what makes this little baby leak.

And, I'm looking into buying a pair of heat resistant silicone cooking gloves to see if that might be doable to make getting a hot shot out of this unit feasible (whoever thought I'd pack a silicone baking glove on a trip

I love this thing - it makes a great shot of espresso.

It took a little to get the proper rhythm with pumping the piston, but once that was figured out, it made a delicious shot of espresso.

He found it extremely easy to use, easy to clean and the results was a perfect expresso shot.

This device definitely produces an amazingly good shot of espresso with about the same amount of time/work as the aeropress (my previous favorite single-shot maker) without requiring the use of a disposable filter

Warm shot.
