This is a much underated coffee maker. Just fine Espresso ground coffee and a kettle required

I often take mine to work with a Porletti hand grinder - Fab portable bean to cup Espresso!

I've been tempted by one of those, do they produce the same kind of espresso you get from a pumped machine in a cafe?

No, not quite, simply because you do not have the high water pressure going through the coffee and it produces no Crema.
However it allows a very strong espresso strength coffee thanks to using espresso ground fineness and produces a smooth strong coffee that lacks the bitterness that you sometimes get with a Mocha pot. It's quick too. Less than a minute.
I wouldn't hesitate in buying one and you can use it anywhere you have a kettle.

PS: It comes with LOTS of filters ... don't buy extra ... and the filters last several cups too.
