Good points

Good Points

  • Easily portable.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Poor taste test score.
  • Borderline for ease of use, due to the manual nature of the product. Need to boil kettle to prepare the water, the product gets very hot if you try to clean it right after use or when making multuple coffees in a row. It's quite messy as well.
  • Poor coffee temperature consistency score.
  • Can only be used with supplied cup.
