Hotel coffee tastes like warm cardboard. Gas station espresso costs five dollars and arrives lukewarm. The Havato Portable Self-Heating Espresso Machine promises to fix both problems with a 150W heater, a 9000mAh battery and a cup of espresso brewed anywhere you can stand still for four minutes. I used this machine for three weeks. I…
