I have the Outin Nano and here is what I found -- that the amount of water retention depends upon your roast and grind. I was surprised to find this out when I tested it with freshly roasted coffee from Bazzar Coffee in Canton, GA. Secondly, I like the idea of freshly ground coffee -- but sometimes when I'm on the move, I like the convenience of Nespresso Pods. It's really fast and concenient. For a while I thought I had to choose, but I was amazed to learn that the unused portafilter neatly and snugly stores in the water chamber. I understand your concerns about how many cups can be brewed on a single charge, but for me as a motorcyclists and backpacker it hasn't been a problem. Great video.

@lizhappybeans 9 ай бұрын

Thank you! This is really valuable. I agree on the convenience of pods. I would totally suggest this for people who likes and uses pods regularly, and I believe pretty much every portable espresso machine has an adapter for those. Also, I didn’t even think about putting the extra portafilter up there hahahah. This is a great tip! I agree, in an individual level, this machine is great. When I use it at work, one charge is enough for the cups I brew in a day so it’s never been an issue. But as soon as there’s a second person using it, it stops being as convenient. Thank you for this comment! 🙏

Could you comment on the quality of the result from the pods? Thx

@ToddBryantsr 6 ай бұрын

@@fluffylambut I have used the Good & Gather Signature pods. They are rich, flavorful, economical and convenient. Generally I use fresh ground coffee from local roasteries but that easily adds about 3-5 lbs in weight all in. It's worth it if you're a fanatic but the pods can't be beat if you are traveling light. Additionally I carry a HALO Bolt 58830 mWh Portable battery. It can charge the Outin 4 times, or around 16 pods. It's very handy. Finally get a set of double walled glass espresso cups. They add a bit of luxury to your kit. Cheers

You cant make a two shots espresso with only 5 to 6 grams of coffee. That is bullshit. The standard in coffee shops is 7 to 10 for a single and 16 to 18 grams for a double. Why does the manufacturers keep getting it wrong!!!! URGH. You end up with weak espresso. That's why i stick with wacaco picopresso it lets you have up to 18 grams to create a double and less if you want a single. This outin company needs to be fired!!!!

I have a GCP at home and wanted something for occasional travel, always by car. I was looking at the Outin and the Picopress. There are a LOT of "Outin" available at deep discount on e-bay (even considering shipping cost differences) and my long experience with battery-operated electronics indicates it is unlikely to last all that long. The Picopress requires a lot of hot water to preheat the unit and then to brew (and the shots tend to be on the cool-side). >>> Based on my research and my needs... I have a tiny propane camping stove meant for backpacking. I can make a nice coffee anywhere with my moka pot. It's not espresso, per se but close enough for travel. I get a good-sized coffee that is HOT.

Have it for almost a year and mostly use pods and have access to hot water on demand honestly didn’t charge it from first getting it for about 4 months and I drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day so claim off 200 cups is there. However heating up found that with max water about 75ml only could do 2 cups

Try the Wacaco Picopresso, it uses a Non-Pressurised basket and gives that rich syrupy texture. Of course with Non-Pressurised, the grind has to be right. Worth it though with everything you need fitting right in the device itself. Wdt, dosing ring, shower cap, and tamp fitting in the small device itself.

@lizhappybeans 9 ай бұрын

Absolutely need to get my hands on one! I had the chance to try it and found it very interesting! I'd love to chance to experiment a bit more. And of course, I'd really prefer to have a non-pressurized basket and be in control of the outcome...

A Dedica barely reaches 12.5bar and is rated at 20bars while being a 220Volts powered expresso maker. Hard to believe the 20bars selling point for something battery operated and using a tiny inner pump. That is the reason why the result is watery as well, in reality is running at a low pressure, unable to fully extract that magic creamy expresso. Great review, btw!

@@lizhappybeans I have been unable to decide on buying this after not having the strength to pump the Picopresso; nor being able to get the baskets in and out of the Delonghi 'proper' espresso machine, that had to go back. I'm not very strong. My main issue that has held me back from purchasing this is because it is battery driven and chargeable. While convenient I am thinking how long will the battery last based on once espresso a day? It could end up a very expensive item as it's not cheap to begin with!
