Battery may not be allowed on all airlines
May not be allowed on certain airlines due to size of battery in 2026. Espresso is almost as good as my Breville...deduct half a star. What I really like is how easy it is use and to clean!! I have tried all sorts of lighter weight devices...where espresso quality may be the same, but cleanup was more of a hassle and mess. Great product.

Super portable high quality espresso machine!
I amazed at how well this machine makes a shot of espresso relying only on battery power. I take it to work and haven't gone to Starbucks in weeks. It's essentially paid for itself.

We have a winner!
I've gotten used to Nespresso while visiting relatives. I so wanted an option I could use on my RV without having to run the generator. I really didn't want to spend too much. So I tried 2 different cheaper options that looked similar to this. They were both garbage! I had to return them for malfunctions. This was my last attempt at finding a solution. The 3rd time was the charm. This might cost more, but it works. So far I made a double shot Americano using 2 pods, as that's what I've been doing on my brother's big Nespresso machine. It was delicious. Tomorrow I'm going to try using a fine ground coffee. But I'll probably stick to the pods on the RV because clean up was so easy. This is a quality machine. And a big step up from the others.

Solid, well built machine that is easy to use on the go
A friend of mine used to have a portable espresso machine at the office but he moved away. They recently replaced our coffee machines with something that, I guess, resembles coffee. I ordered the CERA+ Self-Heating Portable Espresso Machine so that I could enjoy a tasty one at work again!The machine comes in a VERY giftable box that looks great. Inside, VERY WELL packed in foam is the machine itself, cleaning brush, charging cable and inserts for both Nespresso pods (only the ORIGINAL will work) or your own ground coffee. I have only used the pods so far so will focus on their use. The machine came fully charged and, with a quick look over the manual, I was in business. It is VERY simple to use. Insert the pod into the pod adapter and screw it into the machine and replace the coffee cup back on the bottom. Fill the reservoir with water to the fill line (they suggest not using tap water but only filtered or purified water) and replace the lid. Depending on whether you used hot or cold water will dictate how you start the machine.For cold water, press and hold the power button until the machine turns on (a few seconds) and the machine will heat the water (there are lights on the front that will light up in order as it heats) and, once to proper temperature, it will brew your coffee. If you are using pre-heated water, double tap the power button and the machine will instantly begin to brew your coffee. I didn't realize the second one was only for hot water and double tapped it with cold, resulting in a tepid shot of espresso.Now, there is one negative that I think must be mentioned; the battery. Is is NOT a replaceable battery which means that, over time, when it wears down, the machine will essentially be useless. A better design would be for them to have the ability to purchase a replacement battery, even if it is proprietary to their company, so that the machine could be used indefinitely as it is a very solidly built brewer. It's the only reason for my 4 star review.Overall, I am very happy with this espresso machine. It is definitely solidly built and super easy to use. It is extremely portable and the ability to not be tied down with a power cord is fantastic. The $140 price is in line with other, top end, portable espresso machines so I think it is well worth the price tag.

High Quality & Long Battery Life
Definitely the best choice among its class. Battery lasted so much longer than the other brand I had before. Perfect for traveling!

Are there three batteries?
The agreement was for three batteries, but I received the product without any batteries.
