I have had the Pocket Coffee Maker for 2 weeks now. It was on 'special' and I wouldn't have bought it at full price, but I am so glad to have it now, it has started to supersede my other coffee makers (Nespresso Machine at home, Aeropress when 'on the road'). It's slow, but it doesn't matter in the mornings when I put it on first thing and start preparing the rest of breakfast. The grinder is a good quality ceramic burr grinder, and with slow grinding, the beans seem to get the best treatment.
