Nice and light for travel. One design flaw - the container that holds the boiled water is push-on, not screwed. After pushing it on, then turning the Minipresso upside down to express coffee, the expanding air (heated by the hot water) forced the top off and hot water spilled everywhere. With 2 attempts the same thing happened each time, so I opted to return it for the more expensive Outin automatic one, which works great. Shame, because the Minipresso is much lighter for travel. Hope they can make a screw attachment for the hot water end, then it would be great.
