Espresso yourself.
"Pick me up" has a whole new meaning, thanks to this lil' espresso whiz. At less than a pound and barely six inches tall, this little guy is perfect for hiking, traveling, hotel stays—or bringing really anywhere coffee shops are scarce. Simply add boiling water to the reservoir, pack ground coffee beans into the filter basket, and use the newly patented pumping system to create your morning masterpiece. Oh, and—here's the kicker—it packs more pressure during extraction than most home machines (18 bars, to be exact).
Fan of espresso capsules? Snag the optional pod attachment, which lets you prep your caffeine fix with even less mess and that much more consistency!
