Espresso On-The-Go With Stelton's Espresso Maker

010410_rg_SteltonEspres_01.jpgWe love espressos, but sometimes we just don't have the time to make them. Sure, it doesn't take long, but in the mornings, every second counts. You no longer have to worry about this, because Stelton has heard your pain and decided to come up with a portable, battery-powered espresso machine.

 
 

010410_rg_SteltonEspres_02.jpgThere's nothing that gives you that early morning buzz as well as a good cup of espresso. Naturally, it's not as big as those Grandes from your favorite coffee shop, but it sure gets the job done, especially when you drink a double or a triple-espresso.

The Stelton Simply Espresso Machine isn't that big, but since it's for espressos, it doesn't need to be. It's battery-powered and will get the job done, no matter where you are. We like how portable this is. You can start it off at home and drink your java in the car, or just take it with you to work or when you go out of town.

010410_rg_SteltonEspres_03.jpgOf course, all of this goodness doesn't come cheap. Stelton's Simply Espresso Machine is available at Made in Design and will set you back $289, but when you compare it to bigger machines, it's not that bad. Actually, we think that it is a bit overpriced and we don't believe that the espresso will be as good as from a bigger machine. Still, it's a great little invention. Maybe a Chinese company will create a cheaper version!

That's very cool....seems similar that other portable espresso maker you guys posted about -- the mypressi twist, I think. They both look cool, but they're so freakin expensive. I'm sticking with my stovetop espresso maker until they come out with something for less than $50 :)

I'm always looking at new machines for making espressos. Years ago my great uncle had some strange device to make coffee through the car's lighter/charger! I've never seen anything like it but I want it.

Of course, as soon as I opened this post and saw the pod going into the machine I was turned off. I like to choose my espresso carefully and I'm still anti-pod despite its cleanliness and portability.
