Travel coffee makers - Depth (cm) - 7

A portable espresso maker lets you make espresso where there is no café or power socket: in the car, caravan, at the cottage or at the campsite. Many models work with a hand pump, so all you need is hot water and ground coffee, or capsules. New to the range is the Wacaco Pixapresso in Dark Burgundy. When choosing, consider:

• what coffee you want to use, ground or capsules
• the pressure the maker generates; for espresso, portable models range from roughly 9 to 20 bar
• size, weight and water tank capacity
• how easy it is to clean after use outdoors

Portable espresso makers are only part of the range. For home and professional brewing, browse the full coffee machine category.
