I bought it at around $21 dollars. So maybe it will come down in price. Here's the deal. It is light weight, easy to use and needs no electricity. You can heat water in the container in your microwave or pour boiling water into it. Would be great for power Outages, that is, heat your water in a coffee pot on a gas stove, wood fire etc.I bought it mainly because we have a very small kitchen and not much counter space for another appliance like a Keurig Coffee Machine. This thing is small and works, store it anywhere.It all comes down to if you like the K-cups type of coffee? It might taste a bit better than the Keurig machine, as you use your own pressure, which possibly forces water into the coffee, like a higher pressure Coffee Machine. But I can't prove that.I have used Dolce Gusto Coffee Machines from Europe for years. And Also sampled Nespresso Coffee. I think both taste better than K-Cup Coffee. Also they have a good Creme from the Coffee.This device though, makes a good cup of Joe at a cheap price. Those K-cups are for sale everywhere, unlike Nespresso or Dolce Gusto. So, yes it's a good device for travel, camping, power-outages, or home.Of course in an emergency one can make Cowboy Coffee and dump Coffee grounds into a pot of Coffee. But most don't want that in day to day life.I recommend it. Price has shot up a bit, as of the date of this writing, I suspect it will come down in price.Finally, the first time I tried it, I thought it did not work. I had not sealed the Rubber Pump, Stopper correctly and all I was doing was hearing a hissing sound and nothing happening. make sure you have sealed it well on top.I have went through a few boxes of coffee. I enjoy it!
