Travel coffee machines are an amazing segment in the coffee industry! Everyone travels at some point, and every coffee machine in your hotel or rental house has the cheapest possible coffee machine. Plus, who knows the last time it was cleaned?

However, it wasn’t until recently that some compelling options hit the market for coffee machines you can take on the go! We’ve been slowly testing them out so you can decide for yourself which is the best for you! So here you go!

This little coffee maker quickly made the top of my list. I have until very recently (we’ll talk about that in a moment) used Aeropress Go as my primary coffee maker every morning (ever since the brand gifted one to me to check out). It makes delicious, clean coffee, and it is extremely quick about it as well! I can go from boiled water to a cup of coffee in about a minute.

On the travel end of things, it easily packs up into a little red mug that it comes with, and you can throw it in the back of the car, in a bag, or carry on without having any worry of damaging it due to the plastic it is made with.

I have taken this one on plenty of trips, and it easily just sits in the bottom of my backpack, and I can grab it whenever I want to make a quick cup of coffee. The only thing to keep an eye on is that Aeropress Go doesn’t make a large cup of coffee; however, I generally add a little more hot water at the end to make it the size that I want, and it makes that great cup of coffee that I wish to.

I am constantly bragging about this coffee maker to anyone who will listen to me, which is why it easily tops this list as my favorite coffee maker.

2. Outin Nano Espresso Machine

4.7

Pros:

• Finally, a battery operated travel espresso machine that boils water
• The battery life is impressive
• It’s quite forgiving in the coffee you utilize
• You can use your own coffee grounds
• It feels extremely high quality

Cons:

• I wish it came with two coffee ground portafilters
• Clean up is a messy experience

The ONLY reason I have this portable espresso machine lower on this list than my Aeropress Go, is the fact I haven’t used it for quite as long, although it has nearly replaced my Aeropress at this point! However, if you are looking to make espresso on-the-go, you shouldn’t look any further than this right here.

I’ve been using this Outin espresso machine (which was given to me by the brand) for a couple of months now and have been incredibly impressed! In fact, I was so impressed that it completely replaced my Nespresso machine, as it can be stowed away in the cabinet easier, and quite frankly, is easier to use. It makes up to 200 cups of coffee on one charge (around five if it heats the water for you), and it’s an extremely simple process.

This is also the only travel espresso machine I have seen that can heat the water for you instead of making you bring a separate appliance to boil water for extraction. That one feature is why it’s THE BEST portable travel espresso machine out there right now. You of course can hear everything I have to say about it here!
