The grind must suit espresso, which is finer than drip or French press. Pre-ground espresso blends work in most portafilter and pressurized basket machines. Coarse grounds run through too fast and give a weak shot.
Some run on USB-DC or a built-in battery and heat their own water. Others need a car outlet or power bank. Check the heating method before buying for camping or travel.
A pressurized basket uses a small valve to create resistance even with pre-ground coffee. It makes shot timing more forgiving when you cannot adjust grind. Non-pressurized baskets need a fine, even grind and a consistent tamp.
A single basket typically holds around 7 to 9 grams and a double around 14 to 18 grams. Portable models often use a fixed scoop of about 8 grams. The exact dose depends on the basket size and the machine.
Machines in this slice take pre-ground coffee or fresh beans ground separately. The portafilter or brew chamber holds the dose. No built-in grinder is part of the machine itself.
Manual units use a portafilter that you fill and tamp. Automatic units accept ground coffee in a bypass chute or a dedicated chamber. Portable units take a measured scoop of ground coffee into a small basket, then push hot water through with a hand pump or electric heater.
Portable models run on USB-DC or a built-in battery and heat their own water. They often accept capsules as well as ground coffee. Stationary machines rely on a wall outlet and a water reservoir or direct line.
Grind size must match the basket and pressure. Too fine clogs the screen, too coarse runs fast and thin. Dose weight and tamp force change the shot more than the machine body does. A 54-ounce reservoir or larger reduces refills on stationary models. Portable units trade capacity for size and often hold enough for one or two shots.
