Compactness - the best for travel
Price - compared to the competition, it's "cheap". I wouldn't be surprised if a company like Wacaco sold the same thing, but with a price tag of 2500,- and higher
Completeness - it comes with everything you need except for the grinder and the kettle. Plastic espresso glass and the tamper in the form of a ladle
It makes really good coffee. It's simply a portable coffee maker, period. I don't think it has any competition in this regard, because with the "competition" it is difficult to talk about real espresso with insufficient pressure. There are nice videos on youtube where people who understand it, and not amateurs like me, compare it with other portable coffee makers. Very useful and I recommend checking it out
Interestingness factor - both a bit positive and a bit negative. Wherever I pull out the compresso, questions and stares immediately flow. You are the center of attention that morning. For me, maybe more negative than positive, but this depends on everyone
Decomposability - you simply disassemble the whole thing and put it back together, excellent for cleaning.
Lightness - even if I grind more finely, I still don't have big problems with enough force for enough pressure. Alternatively, the elbow push method must work for even the tiniest.
The pros far outweigh the cons, so 5/5 for me. A brilliant product with a great price tag
I would greatly appreciate a case or something to transport it, of course it is not a problem to transport it "naked", but I would like to transport it in something. Definitely out of the product and I would buy it in addition to that, however, there is nothing (or I couldn't find) apart from the travel bags
Durability - I understand that it won't last 10 years, but for 1500? I will easily buy a new one every three years, or individual spare parts are sold and I just buy a spare part. So criticism is not criticism.
I would appreciate a slightly larger water tank. It's not so bad, but I would like at least 10-20ml more water in the tank.
Tamper - I'm not going to lie, the tamper scoop is really better than nothing, but it's no big miracle. I personally measured the dimensions and turned out a stainless steel tamper on the lathe (the size to fit in my cup, so it will fully transport them and instead of a ladle I have a proper tamper). I recommend it to everyone who has the opportunity, or even to a skilled acquaintance, it's worth it.
Size - in addition to the size of the water container, I would also appreciate a larger coffee basket.

He can really conjure espresso - it's not just marketing
Makes espresso (50-60ml)
Consistency
With the right knowledge and the grinder, it will outperform all espresso machines with a pressure filter (which cannot extract everything from the coffee - so simple)
The scoop and at the same time the "tamper" has a stamped logo at the bottom, in which the coffee settles and it is really easy to clean (I sanded it with coarse and then fine sandpaper and it was perfect)
Makes espresso (50-60ml)
If you grind the fact to fine, then you are absolutely unlucky, you won't press it :)
A quality grinder is necessary (at least Hario Mini class). As with better espresso machines, you adjust the extraction time by the coarseness of the grind)
After intensive use, the rubber parts simply wear off over time.
