Xiaomi Mijia Portable Coffee Maker is a portable espresso maker the size of a thermos that doesn’t need a power outlet: it heats the water itself and forces it through the coffee with pressure up to 20 bars. When we wrote about it for the first time, it was available only from China and on Banggood, where it has since become significantly more expensive. Now our partner Gshopper has put it on deal, and with the coupon and payment by bank transfer you can get it for 118 € including VAT.
In the Chinese shop Xiaomi costs 659 yuan (about 88 €), but without our 23-percent VAT and without shipping to Slovakia. If you add VAT, you’d pay roughly 108 €, so Gshopper is more expensive by only a few euros—and it already includes shipping and increased customs duty fees.
Espresso in your backpack, delivered even before Christmas
The portable Xiaomi coffee maker is sold by Gshopper, a verified Xiaomi products store with which we’ve been working long-term. They ship it to Slovakia with standard delivery, so it should arrive in about two weeks. VAT is already included in the price, so you don’t pay anything extra. Gshopper also subtracts another 4,5 % when paying by bank transfer, so in the box you’ll see two prices: a lower one for transfer and a higher one for card payment.

A thermos that makes espresso
With dimensions 71,5 × 71,5 × 245 mm, it’s about like a smaller thermos and fits in the side pocket of your backpack or in the car door. Inside there’s a water-heating container, a pump, a brewing chamber for a capsule or ground coffee, and a stainless-steel cup that snaps on at the bottom—into which the coffee directly drips.
The cup has a double stainless-steel wall, so the espresso doesn’t cool down as fast and you won’t burn your fingers. In Xiaomi’s photos there’s also a portable case and a lid that fits the heating container and the cup as well. The aluminum stand keeps the cup stable during preparation, even on a wobbly camping table.
Pressure of 20 bars and stable 92 °C
The pump reaches a peak pressure of 20 bars, the same as typical home lever espresso machines. At that pressure, oils are released from the coffee and the espresso forms crema like you’d expect from a machine much larger than a thermos. The manufacturer openly admits, though, that the 20 bars is only the pump’s peak pressure and that such pressure doesn’t act on the coffee during the entire extraction.
The temperature is handled by a ceramic heating element with PID control, which keeps the water at 92 °C. At this temperature, espresso is normally prepared, so the coffee won’t be burnt or acidic from under-heated water. So your first cup should taste the same as the third.
Capsule or ground coffee, hot or cold water
The Xiaomi Mijia Portable Coffee Maker handles capsules and ground coffee that you pour into the included stainless-steel filter basket. The process has four steps: unscrew the cup and put in a capsule or the coffee filter basket into the brewing chamber, then pour water into the heating container and tighten the lid. By pressing and holding the button you turn the coffee maker on, and with another press you start heating and extraction.
For one espresso, you add up to 60 ml of water into the container, while the cup holds 140 ml. When you pour in hot water from the thermos, the extraction takes no more than 45 seconds and you get classic espresso. With cold water, you prepare iced coffee in the style of an americano; however, for cold extraction the manufacturer recommends ground coffee, which tastes better than a capsule then.
Battery for 400 cups—or just for three
Inside there are three cells with a capacity of 2 500 mAh, which you charge via USB-C with power up to 45 W. From 20 to 80%, you charge the coffee maker in about 30 minutes, and a full charge takes around 80 minutes. Since it’s USB-C, it also works with a power bank in the car or at the campsite.
A lot depends on how much water you pour into the coffee machine. If it’s already hot and the machine just pushes it through the coffee, the manufacturer claims up to 400 cups per charge. If you have to heat the water yourself, the battery lasts for only three cups, because heating uses far more energy than the pump. For a day trip, don’t forget to pack a thermos with hot water too.
IP55 rating and cleaning under the tap
The coffee machine has IP55 protection, so dust, sand, and water splashes won’t harm it when you wash it. You can disassemble the brewing chamber by turning the lid and the bottom, and rinse the parts under the tap—so old coffee won’t get stuck in the gaps.
Don’t put the coffee machine body under water after removing the brewing chamber—the manufacturer explicitly forbids it because of the control electronics. It should be used at temperatures from 0 to 40 °C, so it’s fine for spring or autumn camping, but in the mountains in freezing weather, not anymore. Gshopper offers it only in white, and you won’t find the gray version from photos there yet.
