OutInNano Portable Electric Espresso Machine, Travel Coffee Maker for Camping, Car Coffee Maker Self-Heating with USB-C, With Ground Coffee & NS Capsule for RV, Hiking, Office

I have been using the outin nano as my daily espresso machine for ~ 6 months now, and it has become one of my favorite products across all of the things that I own. I have extensively used both the included nespresso adapter and the nano basket plus (separate accessory). For ~$200 with accessories, this little machine makes exceptional coffee that stands up as a daily driver. The nano basket makes a significantly better shot than nespresso pods, but the pods are hard to beat for convenience. The basket does require attention to grind size and mass of coffee for consistent results. Also, and unsurprisingly, there is no shot pressure control, so grind size, mass, and amount of water used are the only variables available to adjust your extraction. If you don't yet have a grinder you like, I've found that ~17.5g of Illy's classic espresso grind or decaf is a good place to start. I have not used the included espresso basket as it is significantly smaller than the nano basket and has too many plastic components for my comfort.Beyond making a solid cup of espresso, this unit really shines in it's portability- it can be tossed in a bag for car camping, road trips, or hotel stays. It is sheer luxury to be able to get back to a hotel or AirBnB late or wake up early to dependably delicious coffee. Also, for those who are nomadic, it is liberating to be able to stick your espresso setup in a bag as you move from one location to the next. More amazing, in a pinch, espresso can be made completely on battery power (as opposed to using a kettle to boil the water first), though this uses up battery life fast.I also purchased outin's stand, which seems expensive at $40, but is well built and so far sturdy enough to stand up to daily use. Also, it is surprisingly helpful, and I would not want to go back to not having it. The other necessary accessory is a scale, I have had good luck with this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097Q89BZN?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1.I do have some nits. The chief one is that if you plan to make multiple shots of espresso back to back, the metal basket gets quite hot / somewhat challenging to empty and refill. I am hopeful that they will make it possible to buy multiple baskets without needing to buy a full kit to make this issue go away. Also, my first outin broke after ~ a month from what was likely a manufacturing defect. However, Outin responded quickly to my support request and sent me a replacement unit with very little back and forth. The replacement has worked flawlessly since.Overall, I have really enjoyed my outin nano and recommend it highly.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my cousin who's a coffee enthusiast. It arrived in a beautiful high quality box packaging with clear instructions. The presentation is beautiful!!! The machine fit in your hand and it is solid build quality. It doesn't look or feel cheap whatsoever. The machine heats up the water in approximately 3-4 minutes and it makes a very flavorful cup of hot coffee using your own grinds or nespresso capsules with great crema. I even bought him the separate attachment to make a double espresso cup and it the coffee comes out even darker and stronger. So you definitely have options depending on how one likes their brew.I can tell you that he loves the OutIn machine and takes it with him everywhere and even has it in his car's cup holder so he can brew coffee as he drives (make sure you either have someone with you in the car to help unscrew the cup without spilling hot coffee on your lap as you take your hands off the wheel or pull over to avoid a potential car accident or burning your lap).I would definitely highly recommend it to any coffee lover and outdoor enthusiast. I'm thinking of buying one for myself as well.

I love flavored espresso, but I don't have access to a good espresso machine nor necessarily need one since I use use enhancers like Monin flavors. That's why I decided to try the Outin Nano, a portable electric espresso maker that claims to brew rich crema espresso with just one tap and is cost effective for my usage.The Outin Nano is very easy to use and convenient. It weighs less than 700g and fits in my backpack or suitcase. It has a long battery life that allows me to brew espresso for quite literally months since I preheat filtered water in a kettle.I started out with a cheap grinder from Amazon, but the results were all over the place and I’d end up with a pool of water. Since picking up the 1Zpresso X-Ultra coffee bean grinder it’s truly taken the Outin to the next level. I use a setting of 1.2 (one rotation on the 2 tick - in the Aeropress range according to the 1Zpresso manual) as using a fine grind typically used for Espresso results in an awful dishwater-like consistency.Of course, the Outin Nano is not exactly the same as a real espresso machine. It produces espresso at a much higher bar pressure than the standard 9 bar, which may affect the taste and extraction of some coffee varieties. It also has a limited water capacity of 80ml, which means I can only make two shots of espresso at a time. If I want a larger cup of coffee, I have to make another batch, but given my usage it’s generally irrelevant.However, these are minor drawbacks compared to the benefits of having an inexpensive, comparable espresso device . The Outin Nano is a great device for flavored espresso lovers seeking to break free from the shackles of corporate coffee while opening up a world of flavors in the third wave realm. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a smart and convenient way to brew espresso.
