Xiaomi has introduced its first portable coffee maker under the Mijia brand. The Mijia Portable Coffee Machine is a battery-powered espresso device designed for travel, camping, or office use. It functions similarly to a standard espresso machine but is condensed into a form factor that resembles a typical vacuum flask.
Mijia Portable Coffee Machine Specifications
Measuring 24.5cm in height and 7.15cm in width, the device is built to fit into a backpack or a car cup holder. Inside, it uses a 20-bar electromagnetic pump to extract coffee. Xiaomi designed the machine with a dual-compatible brewing chamber, meaning you can swap between using standard coffee capsules and freshly ground coffee depending on what they have available.
For temperature control, the machine relies on a ceramic heating element and a PID algorithm to maintain a steady water temperature of 92°C (197°F). It supports both hot and cold extraction, and a standard brew cycle takes roughly 45 seconds to complete.
The device is powered by three 2,500mAh batteries, giving it a total capacity of 7,500mAh. It charges via a 45W USB-C port, which can bring the battery from 20 to 80 percent in about 30 minutes, or to a full charge in 80 minutes. It can also be powered directly using a standard portable power bank.
Battery life depends entirely on how you use the heating element. If you pour pre-heated water into the chamber, the machine only uses its battery to run the extraction pump. In this mode, Xiaomi says it can produce up to 400 cups on a single charge. However, if you use room-temperature water and rely on the internal ceramic heater to warm it up, the battery drains much faster, yielding just over three cups per charge.
The exterior has an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, providing some protection against outdoor elements like light rain or splashes. The brewing chamber is fully detachable so it can be rinsed out after use. Xiaomi includes several accessories in the box, such as a carrying case, an aluminum alloy stand, a metal coffee basket, a scoop, and a double-wall stainless steel cup.
Pricing and Availability
The Mijia Portable Coffee Machine has a standard retail price of 799 yuan (about $118). It will be available first in China through a crowdfunding campaign on Xiaomi Mall and Xiaomi Youpin starting June 17, with a discounted early-bird price of 559 yuan (about $82).
In related news, Xiaomi has recently unveiled a new cordless vacuum featuring 230AW suction power and a self-emptying dock, alongside the Mijia Instant Hot Water Dispenser with 3-second heating and 10-minute ice-making capabilities.
