CONQUECO Portable Coffee Machine Travel - 12v Car Espresso Maker with Battery for Camping - Small Electric - 3 Mins Heating - Rechargeable USB Charging (Silver), (CP-023)

This portable espresso maker is an awesome little device for anyone who craves their coffee fix while away from home. I picked it up for camping trips and long drives, and it’s been amazing. It heats up really fast, even with cold water, which is a huge plus when you’re in dire need of a brew. You can get a good number of espressos out of it on a single charge too, which is perfect for a day out. The build quality feels really sturdy, proper aluminum, and it’s surprisingly compact, so it fits nicely in the car’s cup holder. It genuinely brews a lovely coffee with a nice crema, just like you’d expect from a larger machine. It works with Nespresso Original and like for like capsules, which is super handy for grabbing your favorite blends. Plus, the USB-C charging makes it incredibly versatile – you can charge it from almost anywhere. The pressure is consistently great, ensuring that barista-style result every time. All in all, it’s a top-quality piece of equipment for proper coffee on the go, and the customer service is fantastic if you have any questions. Definitely worth it for the convenience and quality.

Firstly I would like to say CONQUECO are the best company I have dealt with in a very, very long time. Their customer communication is exceptional, they really do care about their product and their customers. The coffee machine is Amazing, never did I think I would find a travel coffee machine let alone a robust one that you can use coffee pods in. I love great coffee and really miss having a great espresso or lungo when travelling in my campervan. In my case s full size Nespresso coffee pod machine is not practical for travelling, this machine absolutely fits the bill for me, both for travelling and hiking. I have had my machine for a couple of months, on the road I use it every day, I only use coffee pods, most often with room temperature bottled water - this is what I've found. 1. The machine is robust, very well made, I absolutely love it. 2. It comes with a protective cover sleeve with a tie top, but the carry bag you can also buy is great and very protective, you can carry it like a mini briefcase, with a section to store your chosen coffee pods, great for hotel travelling or the office. I take mine when travelling in the car so I know I can get good coffee the other end, but I have not charged it in the car. 3. For me it's not too heavy to carry in a rucksack but I mostly use it in the van as my coffee treat after a hike. 4. I have successfully used the following brands of coffee pod, Lavazza, L'OR, Nespresso, each worked a treat. 5. I usually use room temperature bottled water, so my heating time is greater than if I were to use hot water, obviously the battery is depleted faster if it has to heat the water from scratch. I have achieved 3 x 80 ml very hot, gorgeous coffees in one go, but tend to recharge the unit after this. 6. I have only charged the unit using the cable provided, and via a usb plug not directly through a usb port. I found that when completely depleted the unit took 5hrs to charge fully, but neither the unit, nor the plug became hot. 7. The machine let's you know when there is not enough battery left to make a coffee by bleeping and flashing a low bar warning - time to recharge. 8. You push the coffee pod in the bottom of the machine, but you need to ensure both bottom screw parts are screwed in tight, on my first use I didn't tighten enough and my coffee came out of a connection join rather that the bottom spout, pretty messy. 9. The water (room temp bottle) takes about 3 minutes to boil, once you have your coffee pod inserted correctly, you fill the top section with your water, replace the lid and press the top button (front of machine), you should hear a beep (if enough battery) and the machine starts the magic. When the machine is ready to push the coffee out it makes a pulsing sound and a beep, this means the coffee is about to be dispensed. 10. The water is lovely and hot and the coffee is wonderful. To sum up I can't recommend the machine enough, I'm really pleased I have it and the opportunity to get great coffee whenever and wherever I want.

It was a great bit of kit, a bit heavy perhaps, but made great coffee using the Nespresso pods. However, it developed a fault after about 14 months where it wouldn't switch on and just beeped at you. Despite still being within the 2 year warranty, and despite an exchange of emails, they have now ignored all correspondence ever since I sent them proof of purchase. All my follow up emails have been unsuccessful in even gaining an automated response. So I'm stuck with a very expensive door stop. I probably wouldn't recommend this product. It says it's covered by a two year warranty, but I think that's only as good as the paper it isn't written on.

I’m not what I call a coffee snob but I have a Nespresso machine at home and enjoy the coffee it makes from pods. So I thought I would buy a portable device to enable me to enjoy pod coffee when away in my camper van. The choice came down to devices from Outin or Conqueco and after watching various YouTube videos and reading comparisons I couldn’t really decide between them in terms of coffee production - both seemed capable of providing a perfectly adequate cup of coffee. The Outin device was slightly lighter but the Conqueco offering was a bit cheaper. Being a tight arse, and lazy enough that I wasn’t likely to carry it very far, I plumped for the Conqueco - it’s reassuringly sturdy aluminium construction was the reason for its extra weight and who knew when it might come in useful for hurling at a pursuing bear or smashing my way out of rapidly filling glass enclosure that I may find myself placed in by an over dramatic evil nemesis. My purchase coincided with a period where I didn’t use my camper van and after a couple of trial runs in the kitchen, which were a bit of a faff compared to the Nespresso machine, I filed it away in the cupboard. A couple of months later I came across it and decided I would take it to work as I needed the space in the cupboard. This turned out to be the genius move. At work we had filtered, boiling water on tap and now my portable coffee maker had its time to shine. Making a decent coffee with a pod became a simple process, one that I have repeated a couple of times daily for a good few months now. I love it, and get jealous comments from my colleagues who covert my precious. It’s not actually perfect. I would like to see the top click on, rather than just rest in place - but as I hardly bother putting it on when actually in use it’s not a huge issue and I can see how others might like the fact that it’s easy to put in place. It’s just that I’m clumsy and occasionally it falls off as I’m carrying the device back to my locker (I don’t use the bag) I am not a fan of the built in “cup”, it’s plasticky and odd to drink out of, but my Conqueco machine sits nicely in my Yeti 8oz insulated tumbler and doesn’t fall over so I use that instead - also has the advantage that my coffee doesn’t get cold walking back to my desk. But again, it is quite a clever design and if I were to carry it on a hike I would happily use it to safe having to take a separate cup. I don’t feel that these point deserve the deduction of a star as they do not affect function and are just personal little niggles. I’ve not yet had a pod fail to pierce correctly and the device charges reasonably quickly using a charger with a decent amperage output (mine is 3A). I use it a couple of times a day (with hot water) and it lasts me a week before charging. Overall I am really quite impressed and may buy another one. For the camper van…

I love coffee so I bought this portable espresso maker for when I’m outdoors so I can still get my caffeine fix. The quality seems very good, it’s got some weight to it for it’s compact size and it seems very well made. The first one I had ordered I had a problem with it but the manufacturer was very helpful and rectified it straight away which was great. I’m getting 3 shots of coffee using the Nespresso pods and filling the water reservoir half way between Min & Max lines, this gives a decent espresso shot and the temperature is nice and hot. With this amount of water I found it takes around 4 minutes to heat and start flowing. If you like milk with it as I sometimes do I found 1-2 10ml sachets is good otherwise the temperature of the coffee drops a little too much for my liking at least. I’m going to add the powder dispenser next to try my usual bean but so far I’m happy with it and I think it’ll get plenty of use

Awesome little machine however after 2 years of use it has stopped working completely. I had hoped for the price that it would last a little longer than it has.

Just got this and this is my second cup of coffee. Machine feels heavy and nice. I like the colour and the fact that it can stand on the cup rather than holding it while it’s extracting coffee (this is why it’s more expensive than the cheaper version I guess). It’s little bit pricey but I think it worth every penny. Coffee I just bought couple of them from Asda come in box of 10 (have to state nespresso to be compatible) the Asda own one was okish (price around £2 I believe) but the other one I’m pointing at in the picture was maybe a pound more expensive but more creamy and nicer taste. Machine easy to use , I would recommend trying with water without pod first to clean before first use just at water in top press the button and that’s it. Then add the pod as in the video and water and your coffee will be ready in couple of minutes. When finished drinking and had enough of coffee, Always remember to remove the pod after, add water on top of the machine operate then it’s clean. Dry and that’s it. Bag is nice. After a month of daily use , feel it doesn’t screw in as much needed , like wearing off little bit , had couple of time it was all a mess as i didn’t screw/rotate the bit the have the capsule in as needed. Using hot water from tea boiler to save battery. It need proper (was it like phone charger power 5v?) plug (it only comes with the wire) other than that it wouldn’t charge. I tried with electricity meter plug and wasn’t enough power. Coffee Preparation time May need 5/10 minutes doing the coffee and including cleaning it well and pack it after . I’m still happy with it, but not sure how kind would it last.

After much research I decided to bite the bullet and purchase this machine for travelling Camping plus taking on my kayak. Although I have only had it for a week or so I am so pleased I decided to get this item. The taste off the coffee is truely amazing. If like me you object to paying extortionate prices just for a cup off coffee in a cafe etc then this machine is for you. Have used both Starbucks and Tesco Finest pods which dish out good quality coffee. The freshly brewed coffee is extremely hot which I was not expecting would be the case? Thought at best it would be luke warm but it is really hot. It takes around three minutes to dish out the coffee and the machine is very quiet in the process. I initially thought it was not working🥴 Although I thought long and hard about the price I am now glad I went for it. Certainly the build quality is very good. It is no lightweight. So be prepared if you are intending to take it on a long hike!? Saying that you get what you pay for? I am sure it will do me for many years. Will purchase the ground coffee pod attachment which I thought was included. Not an issue though. The pods are far more useful! Make sure you dispose off them safely folks. They can be recycled👍

17-feb-2024 8.44 Ho acquistato questa macchinetta per curiosità e necessità e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto, la macchinetta arriva dentro una normalissima scatoletta di cartone rettangolare, e con al suo interno un alloggio in plastica dove si trova la macchinetta, a sua volta inserita in un sacchetto di protezione in stoffa, sotto questa protezione vi è il cavo di ricarica USB-A a USB-C, e il libretto di istruzioni in tante lingue e, sorprese-sorpresa anche in italiano. Estraendo la macchinetta dalla sua confezione noterai subito che è pesante ma questo perché è interamente in alluminio e leghe, difatti al tatto ti darà una sensazione di robustezza e qualità e credimi la qualità costruttiva ce n'è tanta, molto accurate le rifiniture e l'assemblaggio, senza imperfezioni, i filtri, tappi e quant'altro contenuti al suo interno, per l'assemblaggio sono tutti puliti e fatti con cura nessuna sbavatura, nessuna imperfezione, un prodotto di "alta qualità" viene fornita con l'adattatore per le capsule Tipo Nespresso® e oltre a quelle consigliate vanno bene anche con capsule compatibili di marca Borbone e Zicaffè, e per fare un piacere alla moglie ho testato anche con capsule compatibili al gusto di nocciolino (tipo. commerciale) e vanno bene, questo significa che la macchinetta è studiata e costruita bene per le varie esigenze. Mettendo 40 ml di acqua fredda la macchinetta in meno di 4 minuti la porta a ebollizione e sentirai col suono come della caffettiera Moka che bolle, da lì a meno di un minuto sentirai un doppio cicalino ha un volume giusto e molto chiaro che ci avvisa che inizierà l'estrazione del caffè quasi ristretto e dal sapore per l'estrazione molto intenso, particolarità nel bicchiere in dotazione per il caffè, le doppie tacche noterai che c'è una riga lunga e una riga corta, per l'estrazione del caffè la metterai nella riga corta che tiene sollevato il bicchiere dando la possibilità di estrarre il caffè (40ml), quando invece la chiuderei per metterla via la girerai nella riga lunga col bicchiere che andrà a chiudere la parte del filtro proteggendolo. Altra particolarità del bicchiere e che sotto c'è una guarnizione per le vibrazioni in silicone. Le due parti che tengono la capsula del caffè hanno una filettatura molto grossa dunque duratura e si uniscono bene non occorre neanche stringerle forte, mentre la parte, una volta chiusa, che tiene le capsule va a incastro con l'inserimento tipo "L" ora puoi mettere l'acqua fredda o calda, per velocità inserisci acqua calda e con il bottone dedicato all'estrazione immediata, se la metti fredda, e non rimarrai deluso, la porterà ad ebollizione in 3-4 minuti massimo, e la temperatura è perfetta per l'estrazione del caffè. La macchinetta si può usare bene in qualsiasi posto con una ricarica di interrogare 4/5 caffè da 40 ml e riscaldando l'acqua tutto sommato non sembrano tanti ma credetemi la batteria viene molto sfruttata e regge bene la consiglio per quelli che possono andare a fare gite fuori porta ma anche quelli come me che dove lavorano non hanno a disposizione una macchinetta per il caffè e questa è una ottimissima soluzione che consiglio. Per l'acquisto io l'ho comprata sul sito Amazon, ma la puoi trovare anche sul suo sito dedicato e in entrambi i casi, costò identico e spedizione veloce, il contatto con l'ufficio acquisti è stato semplice e la risposta da parte loro velocissima segno di attenzione verso il cliente, e questo è un'eccellenza. Che dire altro buon acquisto e buon caffé ☕

Attention, la machine, qui est parfaite avec les capsules il faut le reconnaître, ne fournit pas l'accessoire pour le café moulu Ce qui augmente le prix d'environ 40 € et j'ai déjà demandé plusieurs fois où on peut l'acheter mais toujours AUCUNE réponse ! N'achetez surtout pas pour en faire un cadeau car cela obligerait le receveur à dépenser de l'argent inutilement. Donc, service client inutile, pas de réponse pour l'achat de cet accessoire, réponse "publicitaire" de convenance et en plus 35 € pour l'achat d'un chargeur sans quoi inemployable! J'attends toujours la réponse !

No funciono el producto, desde el 1ro uso aunque puse agua caliente tardo más de 10 min en sacar el producto, la batería por supuesto se agotó de inmediato y así sucesivamente, tuve que regresar el producto.

Bir çok ürüne baktım ama en kullanışlı bulduğum bu ürün oldu. 2 günde elime ulaştı. Gelir gelmez hemen denedim. Kullanımı çok rahat ve espressoyu tam kıvamında yaptı. Tavsiye ediyorum 👍

i bought this with some trepidation. I own a Wacaco Nano Minipresso which I’ve used when camping and it’s pretty messy and fiddly. However, the Conqueco is EXACTLY what I needed and this is easily now a walk up on the roster for necessary things we take away on road trips, where decent coffee might be a challenge. I am just about to finish a three-week stint in India for work and my morning routine involves a double espresso. At home, I have my nice little set up; decent espresso machine and separate burr grinder. The Conqueco has adequately fulfilled my morning routine. One of my local coffee roasters in Melbourne make their own recyclable pods, so the combination of some better quality pods and a portable machine that has enough pressure has meant that every morning, I have a reliable espresso, with a decent crema. Even for a pod coffee. Granted, I’m using three pods with 15-20 ml of water in each shot, but it’s doing the job. And the simplicity of swapping out a fresh pod for a used one isn’t as wet and messy as I thought it would be. This unit is really solid, with its metal body and the plastic components also feel well made. It’s dead easy to clean and even though I’ve been using this for three pods a day, every day, with kettle boiled water, it’s hardly made a dent in the battery life. I haven’t tried to heat up water in the unit as yet, but review videos I’ve seen look pretty straight forward. Over time, I’ll look to trying reusable pods or even buy the ground coffee chamber, depending on where I’m taking this. Just, remember to use a min 2 amp charger. Anything less (ie a common 1.2A) will get really hot. It’s not a defect. It just needs a night amp charger.
