Sulypo 8oz Portable Electric Coffee Maker - Mini Single Serve Percolator with 304 Stainless Steel Kettle - Perfect for Home, Office & Travel - Fast Brewing Espresso Machine (AC Power, Black)

I don't know about you but good design makes my heart sing. I have been looking for a peculator, but to find one that can make espresso tea and regular coffee?! Pinch me! And at my desk. What a great product.Works well although I’ve only used it 10 times out of 3 weeks so not much data but I love it.I didn't use this coffee maker. Therefore, I don't know if the flavor of the coffee is good. I returned it immediately because it felt cheaply made and the directions for use were unnecessarily complicated. A person could do much better for the $55 plus tax which is charged for this.This is a sleek black portable coffee maker. To look at it, it almost looks like a travel mug of sorts, but once you pull the lid off the top, you can see there are high quality stainless steel percolator components inside.To make coffee with this device (while unplugged):1) Fill coffee maker with cold water (filtered is always best for coffee).2) Re-insert percolator components3) Fill percolator with about 2 scoops of coffee (my personal preference)4) Replace lid firmly on coffee maker and plug into power.5) Touch the button on the maker one time to turn on, another time until it displays '01 coffee'6) Wait approx 3 minutes, and pour (without removing lid) and enjoy!Overall: This is a great little coffee maker, it has an attractive/minimalist looking design, it can fit nicely in a backpack or luggage. However, the most important detail is it makes an incredible cup of coffee! This would work well to make a single cup of coffee right at your desk or cubicle. I could see someone who works 3rd shift and maybe doesn't want to brew a full pot of coffee, you could easily make a single cup of fresh coffee - all you really need is an outlet.Important note: This unit can not be fully submerged in water, and therefore it is not dishwasher safe! Handwashing is not a problem for me, but that might be a consideration for you (so I'm mentioning it)? Final rating: 5-stars!The Sulypo® Portable Coffee Maker 8 is a nice addition to the gear we take when traveling. We have had a portable percolator coffee maker for over 20 years that we have enjoyed using on many trips in the car and motorhome. The Sulypo coffee maker is a good replacement for the worn out unit. It produces delicious coffee and tea.This coffee maker has a cycle for percolating that can be adjusted for strength of coffee or for making hot tea. We use the machine for both types of drink. We have different standards for strength of brew.The dimensions for travel are good: 8 1/4 inches tall and 3 3/8 inches in diameter. The control rectangle on the side protrudes ¾ inch.The unit allows us to make one cup at a time tailored to our tastes. The maximum capacity is 300 ml (10.144 oz), a perfect size for our mugs of coffee or tea. The minimum recommended capacity is 200 ml (6.76 oz). The single button for On/Off, temperature control, percolation time control, and tea brewing is easy to cycle through with LED displays. The unit has an automatic warming cycle and an automatic shut off function. The inner lining is SUS 304 stainless steel.This is a great product by Sulypo.Bon gout de cafe et pratiqueSuper facile à utiliser. La cafe est très bon.
