STARESSO Coffee Maker The STARESSO Coffee Maker is a compact and portable manual coffee maker that offers an excellent brewing experience on the go. With the ability to make espresso, cappuccino, and cold brew, this all-in-one machine is perfect for coffee lovers who want their favorite beverages wherever they are. One customer was particularly impressed with the quality of espresso produced by this small device. They found that using Nespresso capsules resulted in a taste similar to that of a regular Nespresso machine, although they did mention that "nespresso compatible" capsules didn't work as well. Another customer praised the convenience of the STARESSO Coffee Maker during their travels in Asia, noting its small size and easy portability. The device provides a dense shot of coffee, thanks to the required pumping pressure. However, users with loose or injured joints in their hands or wrists may find it challenging to use. It is advisable to place the coffee maker in a position that allows for good ergonomics and leverage. Despite this, customers found the device to be solidly built, offering stability and durability. One criticism of the newer version of the coffee maker is the lack of a built-in spike for coffee pods. While it comes with a capsule holder that can pierce the dome-end of coffee pod containers, customers struggled to find clear instructions on how to use it properly. The lack of information about leaving the sleeve in or removing it after piercing the pod, as well as the uncertainty about piercing the other end of the pod, led to some confusion. However, customers mentioned that they didn't plan on using coffee pods frequently, so this was not a major drawback for them. Overall, customers were excited about their purchase of the STARESSO Coffee Maker. They appreciated the ability to make espresso-like coffee when off the grid or in small spaces where a full-sized electric espresso machine is not feasible or affordable. They found it easy to use and clean, and some even preferred it over other coffee makers like the Aeropress. In terms of safety, customers applauded the metal interior of the coffee maker, as it mitigates concerns about plastic leaching into their beverages. One customer expressed gratitude for STARESSO's mindfulness of the dangers of microplastics and phthalates, as these substances can have significant health effects. In summary, the STARESSO Coffee Maker is a portable and versatile device that allows coffee enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite beverages anywhere. With its compact size, quality brewing capabilities, and mindful design, it offers a convenient and enjoyable experience for both casual coffee drinkers and espresso aficionados.
