Xiaomi has opened pre-orders in China for the Mijia Portable Coffee Machine, a battery-powered espresso maker designed to fit in a backpack. It is currently listed at a promotional price of 594.15 yuan ($88), down from the 699 yuan ($102) ahead of its July 2nd shipping date. The premise is straightforward: it is a travel-sized coffee maker that doesn’t need to be plugged into a wall outlet to pull a shot.
Mijia Portable Coffee Machine Specifications
Physically, the device resembles a standard travel thermos, measuring 24.5cm tall and 7.15cm wide. Inside the cylindrical chassis, Xiaomi has fit a water pump capable of 20 bars of pressure.
It uses a 2-in-1 brewing system, meaning it accepts both standard coffee capsules and loose coffee grounds via an included stainless steel basket. This is a practical hardware choice, letting users switch between off-the-shelf convenience and custom roasts without needing to buy extra adapters.
For temperature management, the machine uses a ceramic heating system with PID control, which Xiaomi says maintains a steady 92°C during extraction. The brewing process takes about 45 seconds. You can pour in pre-heated water for a standard hot shot or use cold water. If you use cold water, you can either have the machine heat it up or bypass the heater entirely for a quick cold extraction.
Power is handled by three built-in 2,500mAh batteries. It charges via a 45W USB-C port. According to Xiaomi, a full charge takes about 80 minutes, while a 20 to 80% top-up takes roughly half an hour.
Battery life depends heavily on the brewing method: the machine can yield up to 400 cups if you are using the unheated quick extraction mode, but that drops to just over three continuous cups if the device is actively heating the water itself.
Because it is meant for camping and travel, the coffee maker has an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, so it can survive basic splashes and dirt. The brewing chamber is fully detachable and twists apart so it can be rinsed directly under a tap.
Xiaomi is also including a few accessories in the box, such as an aluminum stand, a storage bag, and a double-walled stainless steel cup. Currently, the device is only slated for the Chinese market, with no word yet on international availability.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched a new smart pressure cooker with fluorine-free dual pots and 2200W IH heating, alongside a cordless vacuum with 230AW suction and a self-emptying dock.
