I ordered the LEBURRY Portable Espresso Machine to take my espresso habit on the road. I have a Rocket Espresso machine at home and a Nespresso (older version with small pods) at work so this cool little portable machine complements my other coffee machines and fuels my Americano addiction. Now I don’t have to suffer with bad drip coffee while I’m camping or staying in a hotel. When I first read the directions I thought it seemed kind of complicated. However, after watching the video (with the included QR code in the instruction booklet), I found the whole process very simple from setting up to cleaning up afterwards. I used the same fine ground coffee that I use in my home espresso machine and worked great. The small Nespresso pods also work well in this machine and make clean up even easier. Instructions indicate that this machine can brew 3-5 shots per full charge when using cold water and up to 200 shots of coffee when using hot water. I used cold water and was able to pull 3 shots. While camping, I’ll probably boil water to make coffee for more people and to avoid having to constantly recharge it with a portable battery. The best part about this machine (besides being portable) is that it makes a perfect shot. As seen in my video, the espresso shot with this machine looks beautiful with it’s rich crema on top. Better yet, it tastes delicious; even comparable to my fancy Rocket Espresso Machine. If you are an espresso connoisseur or know someone who enjoys a delicious espresso while traveling, this is a really good choice.

We love it easy to use.

I love the aero press I even take it on travels with me; that's how convenience it is for me to make coffee ☕️ on the road!

The glass portion and the metal press are perfectly acceptable for a low-cost machine like this one, the lid on the other hand isn't fit for use, and neither is it fit for the glass it's supposed to be matched to. You can't pour anything without liquid coming out around the lid. The strainer section of the lid is tiny row of thin slits, barely allowing any liquid through. I have to quit being so cheep and picking the lowest priced items.

I didn’t receive a cup and i used it one time and it didn’t work anymore

This was not said to be used. It came used covered in coffee grounds, wrong model, no carafe it's a 10 cup model! Will be returning it totally misrepresented, scam!

Are you planning on giving this as a surprise gift? I thought you'd like to know that the thing arrives with the make and model on 5 of the 6 sides of the box it arrives in. Completely ruined a great Christmas gift for my wife.

Broke within 20 days of purchasing, but while it worked it made a decent cup of coffee. Bought 6/3/19, unusable by 6/23/19

I did enjoy using this product. Purchased for $29.99 in January 2023, I have used this thing nearly every day since. Same formula: add grounds, pour hot water, let it brew, dump grounds and clean filter, and rinse the pot. Simple design for a simple product. The reusable filter is nice, and the pot has a nice little design, actually worked as a conversation starter around guests a couple of times. Easy to clean the filter and easy to take off the wood handholds for washing. Unfortunately, after only 10 months of use, when pouring the hot water into the filter, the base of the glass cracked (you can sorta see it in the picture, cracked up the side and all across the base). The pot itself was not cold, it was sitting on the counter at room temperature. (Not sure about that "heat resistant glass" advertised in the product description.) For 30 bucks, you shouldn't expect to be passing it down to your grandkids. However, for my 30 bucks I definitely expected longer than 10 months. If this product was 15 bucks instead, I'd probably be okay with a 10 month life cycle, frankly.

I am beyond thrilled with this product!!! I used my favorite ground coffee & filtered water, followed the instructions as best as I could (adjusting the amounts to my taste), brewed it in the fridge for a little over 24 hours. The coffee turned out delicious and smooth!!! Everything comes apart so it’s SUPER easy to clean! Highly recommend!!

Cleaning this is easy. It has an auto shut off for drip coffee. It’s fast at making drip but it the speed of the espresso is a bit slow. The capacity of drip brew is twelve cups. Temperature of coffee is nice and hot. It has double water tanks one for the drip and one for the pods. Overall performance is excellent!

This is the cutest little cold brew carafe. I'll admit, this set was smaller than I was expecting, but that was purely my own fault since it says just how big it is. As a result I was uncertain at first about this little guy's cold brew making abilities, but I am now a believer. Despite its small size, I find this 32 oz carafe is actually a great amount of cold brew for me. It can get me through a few days, but not so much that I'm left with a lot of extra that gets old and stale. Because I can run out during the week I end up making a fresh batch instead of slumming it with cold brew past its prime, not to mention it takes up less room in the fridge which is a welcome boon. The whole thing also feels well made and is very easy to clean. The twist off lid and multiple seals is convenient, though of course you have to take the strainer out to pour from it, as that's just for the brewing process. It's honestly a great investment, and if you're just making yourself cold brew it's an excellent choice. Now, if you've have a whole house of coffee drinkers I'd go with a half gallon, but for one person? This set up works fine.

I've always had Cuisinart coffee makers with a glass carafe and was always pleased. This time I thought I'd try the thermal one. My issues with the carafe will especially bother older people who may not have the upper arm strength or arthritis: 1) there is no way too tell how much coffee is in the carafe. 2) The carafe is suprisingly heavy- even when empty- which makes it not easy to clean or carry or pour. It wouldn't work at all for my parents who are in their early 80s. The lid to the carafe requires you turn it to unlock and then when replacing it, same thing. This is a pain in the butt. Basically, I wouldn't buy this again. I'd go back to the glass carafe.

So the listing isn’t clear on which brand coffee capsules you can use. I was able to successfully use Nespresso original line as well as the larger Vertuo capsules to make surprisingly decent espresso. The instructions aren’t very easy to follow and you could get confused abut which parts of the capsule holder you need to use (and which ones not to use). Take a look at my pictures, one of them shows the order of components to use for the Nespresso original line capsule. I’m not sure on battery life time yet. I created one cup where it had to heat up the water, and 2 more cups where I pre-boiled the water. After these 3 cups, the machine gave no indication of needing to be charged. 
 This cordless machine is able to heat up the water in it’s reservoir to make espresso, but it will take quite a while depending on the temperature of the water you fill it with. It took approximately a little over 10 minutes for room temperature water to heat up and for the machine to start outputting coffee. I would highly advise you to just boil water separately to put into the reservoir, it will make the process much faster. The coffee came out nice and hot. Doesn’t have the crema of a normal espresso machine, but for camping and travel, this little device will be a great luxury to have. If there was one thing I would change about this machine, it would be for it to be capable of sitting over various sized mugs vs having it dispense into the clear plastic cup it came with.

Today is 22 September 2022. I received the press 9 August 2022, so I have been using it about seven weeks. It makes a great two or three cups of coffee. I make 700 ml of coffee each morning. The press can make a max of 750 ml, but that will spill over a little when pressed. Inside is all metal and easy to clean and easy to dispose of the grounds from. The press mechanism itself is very sturdy, easy to disassemble for cleaning, and fairly easy to reassemble for use. My only "disappointment" is that the paint is wearing from the bottom of the pot (see photo). I have smooth, nonabrasive counter tops so it's not their fault. Also I don't slide it around. Knowing this I would have gotten the shiny metal model. I imagine over the years this pot will lose some of its paint but maybe that will give it a lost paint patina. Since I got free shipping and 27% off the cost off the French press, it isn't worth the trouble of returning it. Hey, it makes good coffee and cost half of replacing my Cuisinart drip pot that stopped working.
