For many of us, coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a morning ritual, a mid-day fuel, and a travel essential. But let’s be honest: hotel coffee is often lackluster, and finding a decent cafe while hiking or on a long road trip is nearly impossible.

Enter the Hydrofast PO-100 Portable Coffee Maker. This isn’t just another travel mug; it is a professional-grade, wireless espresso machine that fits in the side pocket of your backpack.

The Power of 15 Bar Pressure

Most portable coffee makers struggle to produce the "crema"—that golden, velvety foam that defines a true espresso. The Hydrofast PO-100 solves this with a professional 20-bar pressure extraction system. By forcing water through the grounds at high pressure, it extracts the full-bodied aroma and rich flavor you’d expect from a high-end countertop machine.

Hot Coffee, Anywhere (No Kettle Required)

The standout feature of the PO-100 is its Wireless Heating System. Unlike many competitors that require you to provide your own boiling water, the Hydrofast allows you to pour in room-temperature water.

With a few clicks, the internal heater brings 50ml of water to a precise 92℃ (197.6℉) in just 180-240 seconds. Whether you are in a tent at sunrise or in the back of an Uber, you are moments away from a steaming hot shot of espresso.

Massive Battery & Power Bank Functionality

The PO-100 is powered by a massive 7800mAh high-capacity battery. Here is what that looks like in real-world use:

Cold Water Mode: Brew 4-6 cups by heating the water internally.

Hot Water Mode: If you already have hot water, the machine can brew over 400+ cups on a single charge.

Bonus Feature: The Type-C port allows the machine to double as a power bank, so you can charge your phone in an emergency.

Ground Coffee or Capsules? You Choose.

The 2-in-1 design means you don’t have to choose between convenience and customization.

Ground Coffee: Use your favorite artisanal beans for a personalized brew.

Capsules: Use compatible capsules for a mess-free, quick espresso on the go.

Built for the Rugged Road

Portability is nothing without durability. The PO-100 is crafted with a food-grade stainless steel inner tank, ensuring your coffee never has that "plastic" smell. It weighs a mere 0.75kg (1.65lbs), making it lighter than a liter of water. Plus, with built-in dry-burn protection, the machine is as safe as it is efficient.

How to Brew the Perfect Shot with the PO-100

Add Coffee: Insert your capsule or ground coffee into the portafilter.

Add Water: Pour up to 90ml of water into the tank (use 30-40ml for a standard single shot).

Heat: Press "Start" to begin the heating process (wait for the indicator light).

Extract: Press "Start" again to watch the 20-bar pressure deliver a perfect espresso.

The Verdict: Who is this for?

The Hydrofast PO-100 is for the person who refuses to compromise. It’s for the hiker who wants a reward at the summit, the businessman tired of airport coffee, and the van-lifer who needs a compact solution.
