Wine Spectator commented: "Compared to other handheld and reverse top coffee makers we use, it makes the best espresso." Imbibe praised it: "it can make surprising, delicious coffee with floating fat on top." Coffeegeek.com Prince) is even more convinced: "It is indeed the first portable coffee machine that can actually make espresso."
