The best geyser coffee makers

Rommelsbacher EKO 366 / E

Rating: 4.9

Most of all, this coffee maker resembles an ordinary electric kettle. The only difference is in the shape – the bottom is much wider than the top. Also, this model is at least twice as expensive as most electric kettles.

Unlike some other coffee makers, this one does not have any color. Its body is made of stainless steel, and the absence of paint allows the device to beautifully reflect what is happening around. Ground coffee is poured into the appliance. For its processing, an electric filling is used, the power consumption of which is 356 watts. Rest assured, even daily use of the coffee maker will not really affect your electricity bills.

The device can prepare only one type of coffee – espresso, the most popular. The device dispenses 0.35 liters of beverage at a time. There are no special functions in this coffee maker. Pressure gauge, water indication, display – all this has been eliminated to reduce cost. There is only an on indicator. Also, one cannot fail to note the auto-off function. It would be completely sad without her. I am glad that the device is completely safe, as there is protection against overheating and boil-over. Someone will pay attention to the weight of 1.2 kg – it is unlikely that the delivery of this coffee maker will be expensive.

This model can be used not on a permanent basis, but from time to time. In this case, the cord storage compartment should come in handy. The length of the latter, by the way, does not exceed 70 cm. This forces the coffee maker to be placed directly next to the outlet.

Perhaps this is one of the best geyser coffee makers. Its customers boldly put the highest marks in their reviews. Some people only complain that the device cools down for a long time – you can wash it only after a while. Well, one must admit that it turned out to be expensive.

Advantages

• Low power consumption;
• The end result is a delicious espresso;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• There is a compartment for storing the cord;
• There is protection against boil-out and overheating.

disadvantages

• The cord could be longer;
• High price.

De'Longhi EMK 9 Alicia

Rating: 4.8

And this is a much more elegant device. Moreover, it is sold for about the same money. However, it is quite difficult to find it now in stores, since the production of this model has been discontinued. If you manage to do this, make a purchase without hesitation! This device creates a great beverage from ground coffee that you quickly get used to.

The coffee poured in here is enough to make nine cups. The device does not prohibit distraction from kitchen affairs. This is evidenced by the ability to maintain a high temperature of the drink for half an hour. This appliance requires ground coffee. Needless to say that it is significantly cheaper than its capsule counterpart? Like many other coffee makers, De'Longhi EMK 9 Alicia has an auto-off function, in this regard, this model is similar to some kind of electric kettle. Only there is no water level indicator here. However, he is not needed.

If you think about it, then this is the most simplified coffee maker. It will appeal to those who cannot master the wisdom of managing modern technology. On the case of the device, are there a power indicator and a button that starts the process. After pressing the latter, it remains only to wait for the preparation of the drink in order to pour it into the cup. But do not forget that simplification has led to the fact that this appliance can only brew one type of coffee. If you expect to get your hands on a coffee maker capable of making cappuccino and other types of drink, then you need a model that is by no means a geyser, and much more expensive.

Unfortunately, De'Longhi EMK 9 has one serious flaw that no consultant will tell you about. The jug of this device is made of plastic, and is far from the most heat-resistant. For many buyers, it quickly cracked. Also, the device is devoid of protective equipment. This means that it can turn on even if you forgot to fill it with water. Do I need to say that this will definitely lead to a breakdown?

Advantages

• Simple to operate;
• Low cost;
• Low power consumption;
• Auto shutdown implemented;
• Inexpensive ground coffee is used;
• You rarely have to fall asleep with coffee;
• The drink remains hot for half an hour.

disadvantages

• The lower part gets very hot;
• Short service life;
• There is no security system.

Ariete 1358

Rating: 4.7

One of the most inexpensive geyser coffee makers. For this model in Russian stores they ask about 3 thousand rubles. It is clear that for that kind of money you cannot get a device with an exquisite design. It uses a simple plastic case that can be painted black or white. Only the handle at the lid attracts attention – it is made in the form of a running steam. Otherwise, this is a typical super-budget coffee maker that does not have any additional controls. It is for the best, because even an elderly person can deal with such a device.

Like other geyser-type models, Ariete 1358 prepares a drink from ground coffee. This makes the cost of using the device very low. Also, the coffee maker is quite energy efficient, because its power does not exceed 400 watts.

As stated above, there is no pressure gauge, display, or anything similar. There is not even a water level indicator, since it is enough to make exactly one cup of coffee. On the case, you can only find the indication of inclusion. Alas, the insides of the device are also noticeably simplified. There is no security system here, so the device is not worth buying for a person who suffers from forgetfulness. There is not even an automatic shutdown here! Prepare to remember that the drink is being prepared for about 5 minutes – after such a period of time you need to turn off the device. The instructions say that the coffee maker will turn itself off in about half an hour, but none of the buyers dared to check it.

Advantages

• Two body colors to choose from;
• The coffee maker is silent;
• Extra long power cord;
• Inexpensive ground coffee is used;
• The most simple control;
• Very low cost;
• Low power consumption.

disadvantages

• There is no protection system;
• No auto shutdown;
• Difficult enough to wash;
• Not everyone will like the design.

Best Carob Coffee Makers

Smeg ECF01

Rating: 4.9

Smeg products are very often included in all kinds of ratings. The fact is that the products of this company are very different from the devices of competitors. Most often they are made in a sophisticated retro style! This also applies to the Smeg ECF01 coffee maker. Most of all, this device resembles a device for dispensing beer somewhere in an expensive bar. It uses a rounded body shape, lots of old-fashioned handles, and the drink is poured into a pre-substituted mug. Despite the extremely high cost of the coffee maker, it is in demand, and therefore the manufacturer sent as many as eight color options to stores!

Of course, this device will not please with any broad functionality. One feels that 39 thousand rubles are asked mainly for design. This coffee maker seems to have come to us from the middle of the last century. At the same time, the insides of the device are more than modern. It should also be noted that the body of the device is made of the latest and durable materials. This gives you hope that your coffee maker will look perfect for years to come. At least until the middle of the now XXI century.

Initially, it seems that this device can hardly do anything. Where are the numerous buttons needed for this? But in fact, there are different regulators and knobs with which the process is controlled. In particular, the appliance offers two types of coffee to choose from, rather than one: cappuccino and espresso. The user is also given the opportunity to adjust the temperature of the coffee. For the rest, for the most part, the cooking process takes place in automatic mode. There is not even a pressure gauge here, since the pressure will in any case be pumped up strictly to 15 bar.

The espresso machine includes a 1 liter water tank. This is enough to make two cups of coffee (they can be brewed at the same time). The power of the device is 1350 W. However, the device will not greatly affect the electricity bills, because the cooking process does not take much time. A thermoblock is used here as a heater, and you can pour inside not only ground coffee, but also pods.

You can find fault with this device only about the length of the cord, which does not exceed 1 m.Otherwise, this is an excellent coffee maker, which has a water level indicator, and a good protection system, and a removable drip tray, and even water hardness adjustment.

Advantages

• Elegant metal body;
• A large number of colors to choose from;
• The pressure reaches 15 bar;
• It is possible to prepare cappuccino (in manual mode);
• You can make two cups of coffee at the same time;
• There are heated cups and a removable drip tray;
• There is a water level indicator;
• Low noise level.

disadvantages

• Not very long power cord;
• Extremely high cost;
• The water container could have been larger.

De'Longhi Dedica EC 685

Rating: 4.8

This coffee maker has a more familiar modern design. It is also made of quality materials. It seems that the metal case will retain its perfect appearance for a year, or two, and a whole decade, unless you deliberately start scratching it. Usually De'Longhi products cost a lot of money, but Dedica EC 685 can be bought for 14 thousand rubles – not the largest amount. At the same time, the device is capable of boasting some additional functionality – for example, the simultaneous distribution of a drink in two cups.

On sale, you can find four color options for the device, which allows you to choose a coffee maker for any kitchen interior. The device turned out to be large, but not too large – inside it is a reservoir for 1.1 liters of water. With this model you can prepare four types of coffee: latte, espresso, latte macchiato and cappuccino. The latter, however, is said in manual mode. As for the pressure, 15 bar is generated by the device. The power of the device is 1300 W, which is typical for the horn model. Also, one cannot fail to note auto-off and the presence of some other protection systems.

The cups are installed here on a special stand. It is, importantly, equipped with a heating function. There is also a drip tray. And finally, one cannot fail to note the descaling indicator, which not every coffee maker possesses.

We draw your attention to the fact that De'Longhi Dedica EC 685 is by no means the best choice for those who like to gobble up coffee from huge mugs. The fact is that the height of the cup that can be placed under the tap is limited to 12 cm.

Advantages

• Elegant modern appearance;
• Four body colors to choose from;
• Inexpensive ground coffee is used;
• Decent water tank volume;
• Different types of coffee can be prepared;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• The body is made of metal;
• Includes removable drip tray and cup warmer;
• Simultaneous dispensing of a drink in two cups is possible;
• There is a descaling indicator.

disadvantages

• After each cup, you need to wash the horn and the tube of steam;
• Still, the price will not suit everyone;
• There are no compartments for storing a measuring spoon and replacement filters.

Krups Calvi Meca XP 3440

Rating: 4.7

Another device with which you can prepare a drink from ground coffee. As with some other devices of this type, the body is made of metal. However, the design is neither sophisticated nor perfect – the coffee maker looks simple. Noteworthy is only the main handle with which coffee is dispensed – usually it is not found in such inexpensive devices. However, not everyone will consider the coffee maker cheap, because they ask for 11 thousand rubles, which is tangible for many Russians.

This model received a simple control panel. It is a power button and an operating mode selector. With this device you can prepare espresso and cappuccino. But the second type of drink is not prepared automatically, because this is not a full-fledged coffee machine, which is sold for 40-50 thousand rubles. Also, the manufacturer's savings are noticeable in the cup holder – it does not have a heating element.

A thermoblock is used inside this coffee maker. Basically, 1460 watts are consumed by them. As for the water tank, its volume is 1.1 liters. The pressure starts to build up during coffee preparation. This happens exactly until it reaches 15 bar. Whether this is really so – you will not be able to make sure, because there is no pressure gauge here. The device does not have automatic decalcification either. But the simultaneous distribution of two cups is not forgotten, as there is also a tray for collecting drops.

The Krups made a pretty good espresso machine. But someone will definitely not be satisfied with its plastic case. There is also a traditional problem with a cappuccino maker – the milk freezes in it almost instantly, and therefore cleaning it causes certain problems. Finally, our advice to you: after buying a coffee maker, be sure to read the instruction manual. The fact is that without this, the use of the device can lead to its breakdown, since it implies some non-obvious details.

Advantages

• Inexpensive ground coffee is used;
• Decent water tank volume;
• Two types of coffee can be prepared;
• Simultaneous preparation of two cups is possible;
• There is a removable drip tray;
• Fast heating;
• There is an auto shutdown.

disadvantages

• The use is not easy to learn;
• The cappuccino maker is very difficult to clean;
• No heating of cups;
• Poor filter attachment in the horn.

REDMOND RCM-1511

Rating: 4.6

A good espresso machine is also available in the REDMOND range. This model differs from the competitors discussed above by the possibility of fully automatic cappuccino preparation. Also, using this device, delicious espresso, Americano and latte macchiato are obtained.

As you know, a large number of devices are produced under the REDMOND brand that can be included in a 'smart home'. However, the RCM-1511 does not include wireless modules, so you shouldn't expect extended functionality from it. This is a very simple carob-type coffee maker, which is controlled by pressing the buttons located on the front panel. There is also a massive handle that is responsible for starting the dispensing of the drink. Well, the cappuccinatore has its own controls, which are also easy to learn.

The body of this model is made of metal. A 1000 W electric motor is hidden inside. This allows you to install the coffee maker even in an old wooden house with aluminum wiring. As for the water tank, it holds 1.4 liters. An ideal volume where you don't have to worry about filling the tank for several days.

Like other espresso machines, this model builds up pressure up to 15 bar during its operation. There are no other options, so this device does not have a pressure gauge. There is also no automatic decalcification – a function inherent only in very expensive models. But the owner of this device can regulate the portion of hot water. However, in any case, the drink turns out to be rather warm than hot. The problem can be solved only if the mug is placed on the upper platform for a while, which becomes very hot during coffee preparation.

It's nice that the manufacturer has introduced the ability to simultaneously prepare two cups of the drink. Also, some people will love the presence of a storage compartment for the cord. It seems to us that the coffee maker is obliged to take a place in the kitchen on an ongoing basis, so the compartment will be unnecessary. The removable drip tray makes cleaning the device a little easier. By the way, a special indicator will signal that this tray is full.

Advantages

• Automatic preparation of cappuccino is possible;
• Large water tank;
• Low power consumption;
• Different types of coffee can be prepared;
• Low cost of use;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• There are heated cups and a removable drip tray;
• It is possible to brew two cups of coffee at the same time.

disadvantages

• The coffee is warm;
• The length of the power cord is only 1 m;
• Electronic control will not please everyone.

Kitfort KT-702

Rating: 4.5

The creators of this coffee maker tried to design such a device that would look like a professional one. Here, the rounded shapes of the metal case are used, the drink is dispensed by turning a massive lever, and the process of its preparation is accompanied by the movement of the arrow on the manometer.

This coffee maker belongs to the carob type. As in the case of the models discussed above, it requires ground coffee, which is sold in stores for relatively little money. Power consumption during cooking does not exceed 1100 W. Confused only by the pressure, which reaches only 10 bar. However, it cannot be said that this has any serious effect on the taste of the drink.

This is one of the cheapest carob coffee makers. In this regard, we recommend not to be surprised at the minimum variety of types of drinks that can be prepared using this device. In fact, it is only espresso and cappuccino. The second type of coffee is prepared in manual mode, and the subsequent cleaning of the cappuccino maker will quickly bore you.

I am glad that the manufacturer did not eliminate the possibility of simultaneous preparation of two cups of coffee. He also did not deprive the device of the removable drip tray. But he saved on the power cord – its length does not exceed 93 cm. Also, not everyone will be satisfied with a water tank, the volume of which is 1 liter. However, this is quite enough for making three or four far from the smallest cups of coffee, and many do not need more.

Advantages

• Low cost;
• It is possible to prepare cappuccino (in manual mode);
• There is a pressure gauge;
• Inexpensive ground coffee is used;
• Durable metal body;
• Low power consumption;
• There is a removable drip tray.

disadvantages

• Not the maximum pressure is injected;
• Short power cord;
• There are defective copies.

Best drip coffee makers

REDMOND SkyCoffee M1505S

Rating: 4.9

We mentioned above that some time ago REDMOND started to create devices that can be controlled from a smartphone. The SkyCoffee M1505S coffee maker is one such device. This is a great example for anyone looking to make their home smart. Interestingly, you can even start the coffee maker through the voice assistant 'Alice'!

Unlike the carob models, this one requires coffee beans. This is reflected in the power consumption – it is only 600 W. Apparently, this parameter was influenced by the absence of the need to inject any pressure inside the device. But do not forget that the coffee preparation process will be quite long. Also, not everyone will be satisfied with the volume of the coffee pot, which is only 0.5 liters here. Therefore, you will have to forget about the simultaneous preparation of a drink for two cups at once.

Of course, it is not necessary to select the operating mode of the device with the help of a smartphone. On the front panel of the coffee maker there is a button and a small knob, thanks to which the process starts almost instantly. As for the smartphone, commands from it are received via Bluetooth. He also receives a notification about the end of the process.

It should be noted that this coffee maker turned out to be relatively inexpensive. So the manufacturer had to simplify some of the device's components? Really. First, he gave up on sophisticated design. Secondly, the body of the device is made of glossy plastic. Third, there is no removable drip tray. However, it seems unnecessary in this type of coffee maker. But the water level indicator is definitely not superfluous here. As well as the auto-heating plate, which the manufacturer also did not forget to generous with.

Finally, one cannot fail to note the presence of a built-in coffee grinder. However, how can you do without it if grain coffee is poured here? But if its presence is not surprising, then adjusting the degree of grinding will certainly please.

If you get this coffee maker, be sure to install Ready for Sky on your smartphone. It is with its help that remote control is carried out.

Advantages

• Remote control via smartphone is possible;
• Low power consumption;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• There is a coffee grinder with adjustable grinding degree;
• There is a permanent filter;
• There is an auto-heating plate.

disadvantages

• Only one body color;
• Glossy plastic will not suit everyone;
• The functionality is still not broad;
• The coffee pot is not very spacious;
• Manual cleaning can be tiring.

Kitfort KT-705

Rating: 4.8

Many drip coffee makers have a similar appearance. Each of these devices has a compartment for a cup, where the prepared drink is dripped. Kitfort KT-705 also has such a compartment. An especially large mug will not fit here. This suggests that a minimal amount of drink awaits you, but it will be extremely strong coffee. After such a dream, it will take off just like a hand. However, no one forbids using a wide coffee pot, the volume of which reaches 1.5 liters. With it, you can make coffee for two, three or even four people at once.

The device requires the addition of ground coffee. However, you can also use grain by using the built-in coffee grinder. It should be noted that the device is large enough. It would seem that such a coffee maker would be greedy for electricity. But no, the power consumption is 1000W. As you may have noticed, some of the devices included in our rating are noticeably more powerful and demanding on wiring.

This coffee maker is connected to an outlet via a 98 cm cord. The body of the device is made of plastic, but that's to be expected. Interestingly, the dashboard has a display complemented by backlighting. It is he who makes it possible to understand which operating mode is currently activated. It also displays the time remaining until the automatic start of the device. Yes, you read that right, there is a timer here! This is rare even for more expensive coffee makers! But the presence of auto-off is not at all surprising. As well as an automatic heating plate, without which the drink would be hardly lukewarm.

Advantages

• Backlit display;
• There is an auto-heating plate;
• Built-in timer;
• There is a coffee grinder;
• Anti-drip system has been implemented;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• Low power consumption;
• A very large coffee pot is used.

disadvantages

• To some, the power cord will seem short;
• The body is made of plastic;
• Large grain consumption;
• The water tank is difficult to clean;
• Strange markings on the coffee pot.

Philips HD7457 Daily Collection

Rating: 4.7

A large number of high-quality household appliances are produced under the Philips brand. For example, the HD7457 Daily Collection is extremely difficult to find fault with. Especially if you look at the price tag of this coffee maker, which does not exceed 3 thousand rubles. Well, do not expect a built-in coffee grinder from this device? It would be foolish to hope for several types of brewed coffee, the user will be able to enjoy exclusively Americano.

As you already understood, this appliance is designed for ground coffee. It is sold in any supermarket, and its price is often quite low. The finished drink here goes into a coffee pot with a volume of 1.2 liters. It seems that this will be enough even for a family of three. The Philips HD7457 Daily Collection uses 1000W of electricity to prepare coffee. There is no doubt that the device will show its best side without any problems even in houses with old aluminum wiring.

Like many other coffee makers, this model uses a filter. It can be either one-time or permanent. It all depends on whether regular cleaning does not bother you. Disposable filters, if anything, are purchased separately. And it is possible that you will not find them in the nearest store.

This device received an anti-drip system, to the operation of which there are no complaints. But there is no display here, the manufacturer tried to simplify the process control as much as possible. He also used plastic, not metal, to create the case. This is partly what allowed him to greatly reduce the cost. However, it is easy to notice that the internal components here are not made of the most reliable materials. This is evidenced by at least the weight of the coffee maker, which does not exceed 1.42 kg.

Advantages

• Not particularly high power consumption;
• The coffee pot is not small;
• Various filters are supported;
• There is an auto-heating plate;
• Small size and weight;
• Very low cost;
• Inexpensive ground coffee is used.

disadvantages

• The service life is unlikely to be long;
• Only one kind of drink;
• Difficult to clean under the cone;
• The water level indicator floats almost immediately;
• No auto shutdown.

Bosch TKA 3A031 / 3A034

Rating: 4.6

Bosch is known to many people for its construction power tools. Someone uses her vacuum cleaner or washing machine. But the assortment of the German manufacturer also includes other equipment! For example, in stores you can find a very inexpensive TKA 3A031 / 3A034 coffee maker. For this model, they ask about 2500 rubles. In this regard, you can not find fault with her appearance, which turned out to be quite simple. In any case, the product does not give the impression that it is the cheapest coffee maker ordered from the 'Chinese'. By the way, the manufacturer has made two versions of his creation. One is painted white and the other red. The case is, as you might guess, plastic.

The ground coffee is poured into the top of the appliance here. As you know, this type of coffee is sold in every supermarket, and even at a low price. In this regard, you can count on inexpensive operation of the coffee maker. Will it be any long? That's a good question. The Bosch company is not noticed in the production of very low-quality products. This allows us to hope that the Bosch TKA 3A031 / 3A034 will also serve for at least several years. Even despite the simplest components, the presence of which is indicated by a weight that does not exceed 1.5 kg.

Like any other drip coffee maker, this model dispenses the drink into a coffee pot made of transparent plastic. As soon as the process ends, the system automatically turns off the device. The volume of the coffee pot is 1.25 liters, which should be enough for three, and sometimes four people.

Despite the low cost, this device received an anti-drip system. There is also a self-heating plate. This is important, because without it, with drip dispensing of a drink, you would hardly be able to enjoy any hot coffee. It is curious that even with such a design element, the device did not receive too high power consumption – the manufacturer declared 1100 watts.

A rare cheap coffee maker can boast of electronic control. Here, too, the user is required to press the traditional mechanical button. Another advantage of the device is the use of very inexpensive filters.

As for the shortcomings, they have already been mentioned above. Finally, you can recommend not pulling out the coffee pot immediately after the drink is prepared. Wait for the last drop to come out with the appropriate sound. Otherwise, it may unexpectedly fall onto the base of the heating plate, which will force you to spend time cleaning this structural element in the future.

Advantages

• Two colors to choose from;
• Comes with a large enough coffee pot;
• Easy to learn control;
• There is an auto shutdown;
• Cheap ground coffee is used;
• There is a compartment for storing the cord;
• There is an auto-heating plate;
• Anti-drip system has been implemented;
• Extremely low cost.

disadvantages

• Plastic body and simplistic design;
• Only one type of coffee can be prepared;
• Not so long power cord.

The best capsule coffee makers

Cremesso Viva B6

Rating: 4.9

Our review could not do without capsule coffee makers, because every year they are gaining more and more popularity. While coffee capsules cannot be found in every supermarket, who knows what will happen in the future? And the cost of such coffee makers does not always make you grab your heart. For Cremesso Viva B6, for example, they ask for no more than 10 thousand rubles. An adequate price for a device capable of preparing a delicious and aromatic drink, and even practically without human intervention.

As you might guess, the device requires specialized Cremesso capsules. If a store sells coffee makers from this company, then it will definitely have packaging with capsules. The appearance of the device cannot be called exquisite. It can be seen that the manufacturer did his best to save money. He even used glossy plastic. As you know, this material is the cheapest, but it collects dust well. However, the plastic case is the only thing to find fault with. For the rest, the device cannot but rejoice. Of course, it is inferior to full-fledged coffee machines, but not as much as it might seem.

Unlike the cheaper models, there is an automatic decalcification. Also, the manufacturer has not forgotten about auto-shutdown. But much more pleased with the presence of self-cleaning from scale. As you know, people are very fond of drinking coffee, but a rare person wants to regularly clean the device that prepares it. Cleaning is still required here, but it is quite rare, and it cannot be called particularly inconvenient.

Before turning on the appliance, you need to select the height of the cup that you are going to put on the corresponding panel. Among the options there are 45, 105 and 140 mm. You should also remember to keep at least one capsule in a special compartment. In total, it is able to accommodate, by the way, 8-10 capsules. As for the connection to the mains, it is carried out by means of a cord, the length of which is fixed at 45 and 80 cm.

Otherwise, this is a typical capsule coffee maker. There is a drip tray that can be easily pulled out for emptying. The container for waste has not been forgotten, because it cannot do without them when using capsules. The dimensions of the device are 13x33x23 cm. They cannot be called large. This is not the case for a weight not exceeding 3.2 kg.

Advantages

• Several brewing modes are available;
• Low noise level;
• There is an automatic decalcification;
• Auto shutdown implemented;
• Capacious capsule collector;
• There is a removable drip tray;
• Adjustable cup height.

disadvantages

• No simultaneous serving in two cups;
• The glossy plastic case will not suit everyone;
• A short power cord is sufficient.

Wacaco minipresso

Rating: 4.8

One of the most compact capsule coffee makers. In fact, it barely exceeds the size of an ordinary thermos. If you don't know this, then you might not even understand how exactly it works. After all, there is no usual power cord, the plug of which is inserted into an outlet. This is because the Wacaco Minipresso is in manual mode. Now you understand the purpose of this model. She shouldn't be standing somewhere in the kitchen. You need to take it with you, for example, to work. Or, such a coffee maker will not interfere in the car in which you went to the gym. Exercising is exhausting, and coffee afterwards will certainly invigorate you.

Of course, the body of this product is made of plastic. Metal is not needed here, it would make a portable coffee maker too heavy. Requires Nespresso capsules to prepare the drink. More precisely, just one capsule. It is put in a special compartment, after which you need to pour hot water.
