I am very happy with my OutIn nano.
I use it in the van with nespresso-compatible capsules (only Illy or Lavazza gold for me, I am picky).
I also take it to my office where I use ground coffee as a bit of spilling and washing in the kitchen is not a problem - I also bought the double shot filter.
I can recommend it.

Fits on the bottom shelf in the cupboard under the sink. Does need power though. We use EcoFlow.

This looks awesome, I'm an Illycaffe fan.
What EcoFlow you have to power that ?

I'd say that the compact machine format now is only for their X-CAPS.

Nespresso-compatible capsules may not be the best but I can find at least Lavazza ones.

I was wrong your machine is bundled with 12 boxes of capsules .... mmm ...

I go with the Moka pot, but Bialetti is a tad expensive.
We are using a £6 one from Aldi

EcoFlow delta 3 plus. 1KWh, uses 7% to make a coffee. My illy has one down side, I can only find the pods from Illy, not that that makes a lot of difference as we just buy them in bulk. Had it three years in September.
