Dreame Ecceluxe Go: 30-second review
The Dreame Ecceluxe Go is a compact, cordless espresso machine that’s ideal for camping trips, hikes, and any excursions where you don’t have ready access to a stove or kettle. That’s because, unlike most portable coffee makers, the Ecceluxe Go heats the water itself, after which its small but powerful pump extracts your shot of espresso.
The brewer itself is smaller than most travel mugs, and comes in a smart carry case with a set of adapters that are compatible with three different types of coffee capsules, plus loose grounds. For the easiest brewing, just insert a Nespresso Original, Nestlé Dolce Gusto, or ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) pod into the appropriate adapter and you’re ready to begin.
Brewing with cold water takes about six minutes, and you can brew two or three times on a single charge. If you do have access to hot water, however, you can switch to direct brewing mode, which uses water directly from the water tank, and brews much faster.

It’s an excellent and very thoughtfully designed little brewer that’s much more versatile than other portable espresso machines I’ve tested. My only real complaint is that it’s easy to accidentally hit the touch-sensitive control button when handling and setting it up.
Dreame has yet to announce a price for the Ecceluxe Go, so I have rated the device based solely on design and performance. I will update this review with a value score when the price is published.

Dreame Ecceluxe Go: design
- Super-compact design, with carry case for attachments
- Charged via USB-C
- One control button, which cannot be locked
The Dreame Ecceluxe Go is roughly the size of a soda can, and comes in a smart cushioned carry case together with a collection of attachments. These include three adapters that allow you to brew using Nespresso Original pods, Nestlé Dolce Gusto capsules, ESE (Easy Serve Espresso) pouches, or ground coffee. There’s also a ring to help reduce mess when adding a dose of ground coffee, and a cup for your brewed espresso.
The Ecceluxe Go is charged using a covered USB-C port on the front, and is controlled via a small touch-sensitive LED display that lets you power the machine on, and switch between programs. It’s responsive, and shows all the information you need: battery charge level, brewing program, and temperature.
My only criticism is that it’s easy to accidentally press this screen when holding the coffee maker, and there’s no way to lock it to prevent that happening accidentally. A physical power button, or a locking switch would make it perfect.
Performance
- Two brewing modes: self-heating and direct
- Accepts three types of coffee pods, or ground coffee
- Extremely simple to use
The Dreame Ecceluxe Go is refreshingly simple to use. First, choose the right adapter (they’re color-coded, but each one also has a small illustration to make life easier), insert your coffee capsule or grounds, and screw it shut. Then just twist the adapter onto the base of the brewing unit, unfold its two support legs, place it on the plastic coffee cup, and you’re ready to begin.
The Ecceluxe Go has two brewing modes: P1, which heats water from room temperature before brewing your coffee, and P2 (direct extraction), which uses water already heated to the correct temperature.

Brewing using P1 isn’t quick — it takes six minutes for the Ecceluxe Go to reach its brewing temperature of 203F / 95C, then extract a shot of espresso — but that’s understandable. A machine this compact has a tiny heating element and small battery, and since you’ll be using this mode on the move, you can carry on with other camping or work tasks while it’s working. A loud beep will let you know when your drink is ready, and the Ecceluxe Go will turn itself off automatically when it’s finished.
P1 also uses a lot of power, and the battery will be completely drained of charge after two or three brews. Thankfully, the USB-C connector means it’s easy to change indoors or in a car, so it will be ready the next time you need a pick-me-up.
If you have access to a kettle, P2 takes a fraction of the time and power, and still yields a nicely extracted shot with a respectable layer of crema. In fact, the Ecceluxe Go would make a great single-serve coffee maker for small apartment or van living. It’s much more compact and versatile than even the smallest Nespresso or Keurig coffee maker, and practically mess-free. The adapters and coffee cup can all be cleaned by hand using warm water, and will air-dry in only a few minutes.
I test a lot of coffee makers here at TechRadar, and I’ve become particularly fond of the Ecceluxe Go. It takes all the hassle out of brewing delicious espresso at camp, or even on a break mid-hike. The days of drinking lukewarm coffee from a flask at lunchtime are over.

Incredibly easy to use with fresh coffee or pods. Direct and self-heating brewing modes produce delicious coffee, although bear in mind that self-heating takes six minutes and uses a lot of charge. |

Dreame Ecceluxe Go: also consider
How I tested the Dreame Ecceluxe Go
I used the Dreame Ecceluxe Go for two weeks instead of my usual espresso machine. I tested it with Nespresso Original style capsules (from a local coffee roaster), Nestlé Dolce Gusto pods, Illy ESE pods, and freshly ground coffee beans.
I tested the Ecceluxe Go’s self-heating and direct extraction modes, timing how long it took to extract a shot of coffee, and monitoring how far the battery charge level dropped after each brew.
