Handpresso 12v Espresso maker any good?

[grand cherokee]

was thinking about one of these but at circa £130 I would appreciate any feedback before buying

Yes!! Its brilliant. Makes very strong short espressos. I work outdoors and there nothing better to pull a favour with a colleague than bringing them a hot espresso when you're miles from anywhere.

thanks very much

does it produce enough for two cups on one fill?

can you use pods by others or do you have to use ESE?

No I don't think there's enough for two in one go, although I've never watered it down before... possibly if you like it not so strong.

I just buy from thecoffeepod.co.uk 150 pods at a time, which is a package about the size of a pillow! I'm not sure about other types of pods.

many thanks

just bought one and ordered a selection of pods from thecoffeepod.co.uk

just got to find which suits my taste

also was looking for suitable 'cups' and remembered that at the back of a cupboard I have a set of handmade cups/saucers bought in the Greek Islands over 30 years ago!
