Hey probably not for a while.
In the meantime, the short version is that I like it.
My previous travel kits were either too big (Flair 58, Niche Zero) or too faffy (9barista - great little device but too much faff when travelling) but the Staresso fits the sweet spot of size and simplicity.
The compromise with zero-boiler devices like the Staresso or a non-electic Flair, is that you need to get the water chamber up to approximately the right temperature (93 degrees for my beans) so the chamber needs a couple of lots of boiling water run through it and then you fill it and complete the pour as swiftly as possible. So there is a bit of faff in that but given that it’s just for that early morning shot of espresso before you venture forth out of your Airbnb, it serves the purpose very well.
I recommend the Staresso as a travel espresso device but not for in home daily use.
