18 bars of real pressure
Most portable makers top out at 9–12 bars. Nomad holds a true 18 bars, which is exactly what builds the thick, hazelnut crema you get from a café machine.
Pourano Nomad is a self-heating, 18-bar portable espresso maker that pulls a genuine crema-topped shot in about three minutes — from ground coffee or capsules. USB-C rechargeable, 1.1 lb, and small enough for a jacket pocket. No café queue, no $6 cup, no compromise on the shot.
A $6 latte is a habit, not a luxury. Pourano Nomad puts a real 18-bar espresso machine in your bag, so the shot you love comes with you — to the office, the campsite, the hotel room or the 6 a.m. flight.

No kettle, no stove, no wall socket. Nomad heats its own water to 92 °C at the press of a button, so a proper shot starts with nothing but cold water.
Use your favourite freshly ground beans with the included basket, or drop in a capsule when you're in a hurry. Two ways to brew, one machine.
1.1 lb and roughly the size of a large water bottle. It goes in a backpack, a carry-on or a glovebox — and it never has to be checked.
A 2,600 mAh battery pulls about three double shots per charge and tops up from any USB-C cable — laptop, power bank or car charger.
Aircraft-grade aluminium body, stainless steel brew head and a two-year warranty. This is a tool you keep, not a gadget you replace.
No barista, no queue, no clean-up ritual. Fill, tap, pour — then rinse the basket under a tap and you're done.
Twist off the base and fill the 80 ml chamber with cold water — tap, bottled or straight from a stream. Nomad heats it for you.
Load the basket with 8 g of ground coffee or a capsule, lock it in, and press brew. Eighteen bars of pressure does the rest.
About 40 seconds later you have a 30 ml shot with a proper crema. Rinse the basket, twist it back together, and you're out the door.
Hotel kettles make tea, not espresso. Campsite stoves scorch the grounds. Nomad is the one machine that works the same on a kitchen counter, a train tray table or a tent floor.
One compact case, one machine, and the accessories that actually matter — so you can brew on day one without buying anything else.
Full specifications, pressure rating and care instructions are printed in the included manual.

Real mornings, real kitchens, real campsites. Here's what the Pourano community says.
I was spending $180 a month at the café downstairs. Nomad paid for itself in three weeks and the shot is genuinely better than their house blend. It lives in my work bag now.
I've tried two other portable makers and both produced sad, watery coffee. This one builds real crema — thick enough to hold a spoon. The 18-bar claim is not marketing.
Took it on a five-day backpacking trip. Cold stream water, three minutes, and a proper double shot at 7 a.m. on a ridge. Worth every penny.
I travel 40 weeks a year and hotel coffee is the worst part of the job. Nomad plus a bag of my own beans and I start every trip properly.
Got the Duo bundle. My dad has used his every single morning for four months with zero issues. The case is genuinely nice, not the usual cheap pouch.
I liked that I could try it risk-free. Turns out I didn't need the refund. It's now the first thing I pack for every trip.

Fill the 80 ml water chamber with cold water, load the basket with 8 g of ground coffee or a capsule, lock it, and press brew. Nomad heats the water to 92 °C and pushes it through at 18 bars. You get a 30 ml shot with crema in about three minutes from cold.
No. Nomad heats its own water from a 2,600 mAh battery and charges over USB-C. One charge pulls roughly three double shots, and you can top it up from a laptop, power bank or car charger.
Both. The box includes a reusable basket for ground coffee and an adapter for standard capsules. Ground coffee gives you the best crema; capsules are the fast option when you're rushing.
It's 1.1 lb and about the size of a large water bottle (roughly 7.5 × 2.6 in). The water chamber seals, so it can go in a carry-on or backpack without leaking.
Rinse the basket and brew head under warm water after each use — about 30 seconds. A deeper clean with the included brush once a week keeps the pressure consistent. No dishwasher needed.
