If you’re packing for a camping excursion or road trip, there are plenty of must-haves you’ll want to make sure to take with you, from insulated water bottles to hiking boots to portable chargers. But one item you might forget, even if you’re used to drinking a daily cup of joe, is a coffee maker. There are plenty of products on the market that you can use to make coffee on-the-go, but perhaps none are more travel-friendly and high-quality than this portable espresso maker from Wacaco.

The Wacaco Minipresso GR is compact, lightweight, and completely manual.

In just minutes, you’ll have a delicious shot of espresso, crema and all. Whether you’re looking for a quick shot of espresso on-the-go, or the starter for hot or iced lattes, this travel-friendly device has you covered. Plus, at coming in at less than a pound, it’s easy to throw in your backpack, carry-on, or other travel bag.

Another shopper specifically complimented this espresso maker for RV road trips. “I bought this for our RV kitchen and it is wonderful to have on the road. We can have espresso and stay self-contained. It does require a bit of muscle, but worth it!”
