- One-button automatic. Press once and it extracts, then stops on its own. Quiet operation under 70 dB, so it never wakes the room.
- Fits in your hand. Slim and cup-sized at roughly 22.1 cm tall and 7.1 cm across. It slips into a bag, a cup holder, or a backpack pocket.

Care & maintenance
Stainless steel and rechargeable electronics require simple, consistent care. The unit disassembles by hand for cleaning.
- Rinse after each use: Take apart the coffee chamber and collection cup, rinse under warm water. Skip soap inside the brewing chamber. It leaves residue that alters flavor.
- Dry fully before storing: Trapped moisture inside the powder silo or capsule bin can breed mold. Disassemble, rinse, air-dry.
- Clean the gasket regularly: The silicone seal around the extraction chamber collects coffee oils. Wipe with a damp cloth and replace if the seal weakens.
- Charge regularly: Lithium batteries last longer when kept between 20% and 80% charge. Avoid full drain cycles.
Frequently asked
How does it brew without an outlet?
The built-in 2000mAh battery powers an internal pump that drives 15-bar pressure. You add your own hot water to the 100 ml tank, drop in a capsule or ground coffee, and press once. Recharge over USB-C in about 2 hours.
Can I use any capsule brand?
The capsule chamber fits Nespresso Original Line capsules and most compatible third-party pods. Vertuo capsules do not fit.
What grind should I use for fresh coffee?
A fine espresso grind, similar to table salt. Fill the ground-coffee basket level, not tamped hard. Over-tamping restricts the pump and stalls extraction.
Does it make crema?
Yes. With fresh-roasted beans ground fine and dosed correctly, the 15-bar pump builds a real crema layer. Capsules produce lighter crema due to pre-ground age and lower oil content.
Is 15-bar pressure enough?
Yes. Ideal espresso extraction happens around 9 bars. Machines rate peak pressure, not brew pressure, and a 15-bar peak typically delivers 9 to 10 bars at the puck, which is exactly where you want it.
Does it heat the water?
No. You pour your own hot water into the 100 ml tank. The battery powers the pump that builds the 15-bar pressure, not a heater.
Can I use it in the car?
Yes. At about 22.1 cm tall and 7.1 cm across (220 x 71 mm), it fits a cup holder, and it runs on its 2000mAh battery with no outlet. Bring hot water in a thermos.
Is it loud?
No. It runs under 70 dB, quieter than most espresso machines, so you can brew in a hotel room without waking anyone.

Which are the top espresso machines you sell, from cheapest to most expensive?
Here is the ladder. Portable pump makers: the Nomad Capsule Press and the Nomad Espresso Press. Countertop machines with a steam wand: the Capri Espresso Station and Le Maestro Auto. At the top, the fully automatic Verona Touch with one-touch drinks and a built-in milk frother. Full list: all espresso machines.
Which mini espresso machine still makes real espresso with pump pressure?
The smallest are the portable Nomads: the Nomad Espresso Press is about 8.7 inches tall and 2.8 inches across with a 15-bar pump, and the Nomad Capsule Press has an 18-bar pump. Both need hot water from you. For a countertop machine with a steam wand, the Capri Espresso Station is 11.6 × 6.5 × 12.4 inches.
Which of your machines work with Nespresso-style capsules?
Three list capsule use. The Nomad Capsule Press takes one Nespresso-compatible capsule or fine espresso grounds and charges over USB-C. The Nomad Espresso Press takes Nespresso-style capsules or fresh ground coffee on a built-in battery. The Capri Espresso Station lists ground coffee, ESE pods and NS/DG capsules; check the page for the exact capsule systems before ordering.
I want a travel espresso maker that uses ground coffee, not only capsules. What do you have?
The Nomad Capsule Press takes fine espresso grounds from the included scoop, or one Nespresso-compatible capsule. Add hot water to its 304 stainless steel tank (3.4 fl oz, 100 ml, one extraction) from any thermos; the page lists about 40 seconds per shot at 18 bar. The Nomad Espresso Press also takes fresh ground coffee.
Is there a white espresso machine for a bright kitchen?
Among our portable models, yes. The Nomad Espresso Press comes in silver or white and the Nomad Capsule Press in green, white or red. The Capri Espresso Station is listed in gray. The other countertop pages do not list a white version. Browse all espresso machines.
I'm looking for an espresso press. Do you have one?
Yes: the Nomad Espresso Press is a wireless portable espresso maker with 15-bar pressure, Nespresso-style capsules or fresh ground coffee, a 2000mAh USB-C battery and one-button automatic extraction. The Nomad Capsule Press is the lighter-priced option with an 18-bar pump, fine grounds or one Nespresso-compatible capsule. See our portable coffee makers.
What's a good handheld espresso maker for road trips?
The Nomad Capsule Press is the road-trip pick: it charges from a 12V car port, a power bank or any USB-C cable, and the page describes hot water from any thermos and a real shot at the side of the road. It takes fine espresso grounds or one Nespresso-compatible capsule. The Nomad Espresso Press is the other option. More: our portable coffee makers.
What's the best portable espresso machine if I care about crema?
The Nomad Espresso Press page says its built-in pump drives full 15-bar pressure through the coffee for a proper espresso with crema. The Nomad Capsule Press uses an 18-bar pump for about 40 seconds per shot. Crema also depends on fresh beans and a fine grind, so add a hand grinder such as the Precision Manual Grinder.
