CONQUECO Portable Espresso Machine Travel: 12v Car Coffee Maker with Battery for Camping - Small Electric - 2.5 Mins Heating - 8 Cups Espresso for One Charge

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.

I finally decided to buy my first ever coffee pod machine, I’m more into bean to cup coffees. When I first saw the Conqueco I was quickly taken by the fact that I can use it at home and when I’m away. The Conqueco works straight out of the box, it’s easy to use, detachable, and with a capsule loading chamber. Simply drop the capsule in, close it firmly, click it into the body of the machine, add the water and you are good to go. The Conqueco is fantastic and produces a piping hot lovely coffee quickly, within 3-4 mins if using cold water or instantly if using hot water (which saves battery power). It’s very well made, feels sturdy and hopefully I will have many years of making lovely coffee. I have been trying several different pods from different brands and realised the vast amount of different coffee pods to I can choose from. The Conqueco is one of the first things to go into my bag or car when I am going anywhere and it is now also used at home several times a day. I can use tap water for my coffee, although I will need to descale it more often but again this appears to be a simple process. I will try it with purified water when I get a chance as it’s the recommended water to use. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

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.

I was happy with the purchase until the machine stopped producing coffee. Now, it just leaks water from the side of the chamber. The issue is that the Nespresso capsules are not being pierced by the grid at the bottom, which is supposed to puncture them. These are the same aluminum capsules I’ve been using for a long time, so the problem is definitely with the machine. I descaled the machine, but that didn’t help. I’ve always used filtered water. The machine has slowly deteriorated, which suggests a reliability issue. I’ve used it for a year and a half. I contacted the support of Conqueco. I will update the review if any news.

Works well using coffee pods & produces good espresso. It is quite heavy.

Pela segunda vez tentando comprar a cafeteira. Chegou só a bolsa.

Ich kann nur sagen, was ich nach knapp einer Woche weiss. Ich hatte sehr kurzfristig eine andere Maschine mit demselben Zweck und mit den gleichen Funktionen, wie diese hier. Allerdings ging das Konkurrenz-Produkt nach EINEM Kaffee nicht mehr. Die Pumpe war defekt. Man hat mir auch keinen Austausch angeboten, sondern nur eine Gutschrift. Da bin ich jetzt (im Moment) und rückwirkend betrachtet dankbar. Denn diese hier ist super gut. Qualitativ hochwertige Verarbeitung. Sieht gut aus und ist leicht zu bedienen. Ich Aufwärmphase dauert zwar etwas, ist aber bei dieser Art von Maschine normal. Das Wasser wird immerhin auf über 90 Grad erhitzt. Der Akku scheint OK zu sein, obwohl ich mir generell gewünscht hätte, er würde etwas länger halten. Die 8 Tassen kann ich nicht ganz bestätigen. Schwankt zwischen 6 und 7. Macht den Braten jetzt aber auch nicht fett. Der Kaffee, und das ist ja das Wichtigste an der Sache, schmeckt super gut. Echt kaum ein Unterschied zum Kaffee beim Barista, der gut und gerne mal bis zu 5 Franken kostet. Ich selbst nehme den Budget-Kaffee Espresso vom grossen M und der schmeckt schon hervorragend. Meiner Meinung nach stellt dieses kleine Gerät viele grosse und teure Maschinen in den Schatten. Und ich bin halb Italiener. Weiss also, wovon ich spreche. Man vergleiche auch mal den Druck, die dieses kleine Ding erzeugt mit dem Druck der grossen, teuren Maschinen: identisch, wenn nicht sogar höher (in vielen Fällen). Trotzdem läuft das Wasser relativ rasch durch, was es erstaunlich macht, dass der Kaffee dann so rund und intensiv schmeckt. Kleine Minus-Pünktchen: Die Maschine (ohne Wasser) dürfte etwas leichter sein und der Becher, der unten angebracht wird, dürfte etwas cleverer konzipiert sein, so dass der untere Teil, wo der Kaffee rauskommt, nicht im Becher versinkt. Hier muss man darauf achten, sonst gibt es eine Sauerei. Hat das Konkurrenz-Produkt besser gelöst. Fazit: Gerne diese kleine Maschine etwas grösser und mit Anschluss an die Steckdose. Dann würde ich alle anderen Maschinen stehen lassen. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

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 !

I’ve owned this CONQUECO espresso maker for about a year now, and it’s hands down my favorite piece of camping gear. I’ve made hundreds of coffees with it, not just while camping but also in hotel rooms that don’t offer in-room coffee. It’s super convenient and always gets a reaction when I pull it out in the middle of the woods and brew a fresh espresso. The machine heats and brews in around 4 minutes, and I can get about 4 shots per full charge. That said, the one drawback is the USB-C charging — it only pulls 15 watts, which means a full charge takes around 2 to 3 hours. If you’re serving coffee for a few people, you’ll want to stay on top of recharging between uses to avoid running out. All in all, it’s a fantastic little machine that I recommend to anyone who likes good coffee on the go.
