GVODE 3 in 1 Portable Coffee Maker Self Heating Electric Espresso Maker Green

I got this not for camping trips but to have a coffee maker to keep in my office. I use the OriginalLine Nespresso pods at home with a regular espresso machine, so I already have the "stock" to throw into my bag to bring to work. This takes a while to charge up. Mine came 75% charged but took I think over an hour to light up fully as charged. The parts and pieces feel solid, like there's a decent quality build to it. And, it worked. The coffee that came out of it tasted like, well I would say it was indistinguishable from what I get out of my normal Nespresso maker. That's not a surprise since the ingredients are water and the pods! It does take a while for the water to heat up, and the clean-up is more involved than what I deal with using my home maker. But, when traveling and not wanting to visit Starbucks, this will work. I would say it's of decent quality, not amazing quality. And the instructions are very particular about what charger block you may and may not use with this device. I think for a product in this price range, an expensive item, not to bother to include the specific charger you need is a worrisome indication about cost cutting to bring this product to market, so we'll have to see what other elements of manufacturing cheapness start to present themselves--I would say the thin metal stand looks to me like the first candidate to become an open example, but I hope not. I think this is a neato novelty item, but not an inexpensive one. It works, I'm not sure it'll last forever but many things don't anymore. One thing to be aware of: the instructions repeatedly emphasize that you must use only purified, distilled mineral water with this set. I don't know how many of you make that your practice when making coffee, much less carrying that while traveling. But that's going to be an extra hassle and expense if you want to use this item "by the book" that you wouldn't encounter under any other coffee making scenario.
