iCafilas ME2218 Portable Espresso Maker, a 19 bar shot from a machine that fits in a backpack pocket. It pulls proper espresso from hot or cold water, wherever you happen to be.

Overview

The ME2218 is iCafilas's compact electric espresso maker for travel, office and camping. Pour in hot water for immediate extraction, or use cold water and the built-in heater brings it to about 92C in roughly 210 seconds. It works with both coffee capsules and fresh ground coffee.

How to use
