10 Best Portable Coffee Makers UK 2024 | Wacaco, Hario and More

Those who are seriously into coffee will already have heard of Hario's V60 Coffee dripper, which has been a gamechanger since it came out in 2005. This set includes the Coffee Dripper, 40 unbleached filter papers and a measuring scoop - which is all you need to make the perfect cup of Joe.

Simply add 16 g of coffee for a solo coffee delivered straight into your mug, or use 60 g to make up to 4 cups using the markers on the scoop. For winning coffee that's easy to brew anywhere, the V60 is pure Japanese simplicity at its best!

When the AeroPress came out in 2005, the coffee world had never seen anything like it, with its two-tube design and ability to make a top-notch cup simply by using pressure. Designed by Alan Adler, the same inventor responsible for the Aerobie, it is now synonymous with specialty coffee.

Perfect for taking on camping, hiking trips, or city breaks alike, using the AeroPress will likely become part of your daily routine at home and away. Providing both reduced brew time and bitterness, we're sure you'll soon become part of the revolution!

After a fancy little gadget with everything you need to grind, brew, and drink your coffee? The Cafflano Klassic might just be the one for you! Coming in a single compact and relatively lightweight package, it combines a hand-mill grinder, drip kettle, and metal pour-over filter inside an insulated tumbler. 

You may need to do a little experimentation to find the perfect grind, but the Klassic certainly has the ability to make some of the best coffee possible while travelling. And if bag space is too limited, you can always just take the metal filter with you instead.

If you find yourself feeling a little intimidated by the deluge of coffee contraptions available online, then keep it simple with the Kahvi cafetière travel mug. Coming in three cheerful colour options, this mug has an easy-to-use and stylish design.

You can use it as a french press, tea filter, and travel mug all-in-one - and without an extra lid! Understandably, you might  be skeptical of its usability, but this mug will perfectly brews your tea or coffee, while keeping the grounds or leaves firmly at the bottom of the cup.

Delter's Coffee Press may bear a striking resemblance to the AeroPress, but it adds a higher level of pressure into the equation. This creates a stronger brew than the AeroPress, which can be controlled to an almost infinite degree by varying the amount of coffee, the grind, and the amount of water.

The best thing about the Delter is the wide variety of brewing possibilities it offers, whether you decide you use a medium-filter coffee grind or a fine espresso. This makes it perfect for tailoring each cup to your own taste preferences.

This collapsible coffee filter may not be the cutest or fanciest option on the list, but few rival it in terms of portability. Most pour-over coffee filters are made from plastic or ceramic, but this one is specifically made to be easily shoved into a bag.

Made from 100% food-grade silicone, it's heat resistant, tough, and super easy to clean. This filter also comes with a portable alloy hook, which is useful for camping. All you'll need to get brewing is some paper filters and a travel cup, and voila!

Looking for an all-in-one coffee maker for your trip? Then check out this French press coffee maker and travel mug. Made using double-walled, BPA-free plastic, it can keep your drink warm or cold for several hours, and features a closable lid with stopper and slip-proof rubber silicone band.

Coming with an extra lid, it's easy to drink from after brewing your coffee or loose-leaf tea. Even easier to clean, you can rinse it on the go or throw it in a dishwasher. Just be aware that it's not fully leakproof, so it needs to be kept upright when in use. 

We believe that all coffee lovers should have a stovetop and truly, no one makes them like Bialetti. You'd be forgiven for thinking Bialetti may not be coffee experts as in their marketing they refer to stovetop coffee as espresso, but your cup of java will tell you all you need to know!

Made in Italy, the Moka Express boasts a well-made and chic design that you'll love to show off. However, as brilliant as it is, you'll need access to a hob and it's slightly heavier to carry than other options on our list. Still, it's good for Airbnb stays or kitted-out camping trips with lots of storage space.

If you love espresso and are willing to invest, this portable espresso maker is easy to use and yields excellent results. It uses Nespresso and Starbucks pods, which means there's no grinding required.

However, you will need access to electricity, unless you're only using it for a couple of shots, as it needs to be charged very regularly. It also isn't that compact compared to a pour-over filter, making it more suitable for car trips or hotel stays rather than camping or backpacking.

WACOCO's Minipresso GR has some great features, such as a compact design and tactile shape, as well as the ability to make espresso without power. This means you can have your usual espresso wherever you are, as long as you are able to boil water. 

As you've probably guessed, the Minipresso does have its downsides. While some espresso makers use Nespresso pods, this one requires ground coffee. So you'll need to either grind beans or bring ground coffee with you. It's also rather difficult to achieve good results as you must follow a specific brew method, which is no picnic when out in the wild!
