I want to get my sister one for her birthday since she is always going out and about doing camping, hiking, and general travel. I thought she would love it to have on hand for a quick pick-me-up. The one I was looking at is theย WACACO Minipresso GR. It looks really easy to use and is very compact which I know she would love. She could fit in into her backpack no issue. I am just not sure if it is a good brand or not. I never heard of the brand before. Are travel espresso machines any good?ย
I personally never used one but a family friend does and he loves his. He often has to go last minute to the airport or go on long drives so it works for him to get an extra boost of caffeine on the go. It is cheaper and more convenient. Not sure which brand he uses, I may see him this weekend so I will ask.
I have one that I have used maybe 2 or 3 times. It is nice but not for someone like me who doesn't travel enough where I don't have access to cafes already. It is just easier for me to pop into a cafe than to brew, blend, and mix myself whilst not at home.ย
Thanks for the input!
I just wasn't sure because I have read mixed things online. Some say they are the best thing since sliced bread and others say they are an inconvenience. I think I will chance it and just make sure it can be returned if she ends up not liking it.
