Buyer Beware!
It works, really good.
But the battery is very weak.
Battery charge bar shows four bars fully charged, to make a HOT espresso it took one bar, and approximately 5-7 minutes to hear the water from room temperature to hot.
Later that day a second espresso only took one bar, so it showed two bars left, half charged.
Next morning, two bars, half charged, went to make a hot espresso. Withina minute it changed from green two bars to red no bars, battery drained.
Well, I figured, just plug it in and run it from a battery pack.
Nope!
It charges only,vecternal power as a bypass does not work.
So if your battery falters you have a cute piece of worthless junk and spare parts.
UPDATE:
I've used this five times now, this morning I made a hot espresso and used OVER half the fully, fresh charged battery, where before it was only using a quarter to a third of the battery.
So ten minutes to make a hot espresso (small) cup, and then 3 hours to fully charge back up.
So if you are traveling with a friend/loved one, don't count on both of you to get an espresso out of this.
Did it use more power from the starting water tempature, OR has the battery degraded that much already…I don't know.
