CM1001B-PLUS 3-in-1 Portable Coffee Maker
The CM1001B-PLUS 3-in-1 portable coffee maker is a rechargeable, self-heating model compatible with:
- Nespresso® Original-style capsules
- Dolce Gusto®-style capsules
- Ground coffee
Its standard technical configuration includes:
- Rechargeable battery: 10.8V/2,600mAh
- Rated battery energy: approximately 28.08Wh
- Heating system: 12V/100W
- Pump pressure: up to 20 bar
- Water-tank capacity: approximately 100ml
- Ground-coffee basket: approximately 51mm

- USB-C charging input: 5V/2A
Under typical test conditions, approximately 50ml of room-temperature water can be heated to about 85°C in approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
When cold water is heated inside the machine, a fully charged battery can typically prepare approximately three to five cups. Actual performance depends on water volume, initial water temperature, ambient temperature and battery condition.
The machine can also use prepared hot water for direct extraction. In this mode, battery consumption is substantially lower because the heating element does not need to complete a full cold-water heating cycle.
Buyers can examine the CM1001B-PLUS internal components to learn how its heating module, battery, 20-bar pump and 3-in-1 extraction system work together.
The CM1001B-PLUS is suitable for customers requiring several coffee formats in one product.
CM1001B-PRO 2-in-1 Portable Coffee Maker
The CM1001B-PRO 2-in-1 portable coffee maker is a more compact rechargeable model compatible with:
- Nespresso® Original-style capsules
- Ground coffee
Its standard configuration includes:
- Rechargeable battery: 10.8V/2,600mAh

- Accessories
- Target retail positioning
- Expected wholesale price
- Customer preferences
Sample testing is recommended before confirming the final model.
Self-Heating and Hot-Water Portable Coffee Makers
Portable coffee makers generally fall into two categories.
Self-Heating Portable Coffee Makers
A self-heating model contains a rechargeable battery and heating module. The user can add cold water and allow the machine to heat it before extraction.
The principal advantages include:
- No separate kettle required
- Greater independence during travel
- Suitable for outdoor and automotive use
- Convenient all-in-one operation
The trade-offs include:
- Higher product cost
- Greater product weight
- Longer preparation time when heating cold water
- Limited cups per battery charge
- Additional battery documentation
- More complex electrical and thermal design
Hot-Water-Only Portable Coffee Makers
A hot-water-only model uses a pump for extraction but requires the user to add water that has already been heated.
The advantages may include:
- Lower product cost
- Smaller battery requirement
- Lighter construction
- More extraction cycles per charge
- Simpler thermal structure
However, the user must have access to a separate hot-water source.
Buyers should confirm which type is suitable for their customers before requesting a quotation.
Capsule and Ground-Coffee Compatibility
Coffee compatibility should be verified using the actual capsules or ground coffee intended for the target market.
Capsules described as the same general format may still vary in:
- Dimensions
- Plastic or aluminium construction
- Sealing film
- Coffee density
- Piercing resistance
- Water-flow resistance
These differences can affect capsule piercing, sealing, extraction and used-capsule removal.
Ground-coffee results depend on:
- Grind size
- Coffee quantity
- Coffee distribution
- Compression
- Filter structure
- Water temperature
- Pump pressure
- Flow resistance
Coffee that is too fine or compressed too tightly may restrict water flow. Coffee that is too coarse may produce faster and weaker extraction.
Buyers should test the machine with the products their customers are expected to use.
Wholesale, OEM and ODM Cooperation
Portable coffee maker projects can be divided into three general categories.
Wholesale Orders
Wholesale orders normally use an existing product configuration with standard colors, accessories and packaging.
This approach may be suitable for:
- Market testing
- Regional distribution
- E-commerce
- Corporate gift projects
- Buyers evaluating a new category
The available quantity and branding options depend on the product and packaging configuration.
OEM Portable Coffee Makers
Our OEM portable coffee maker services use an existing product platform while applying the customer’s branding and confirmed customization requirements.
OEM services may include:
- Product logo
- Selected product colors
- Retail packaging
- User manual
- Rating label
- Barcode
- Outer-carton shipping marks
- Accessory configuration
- Carrying bag for selected models
The standard MOQ for complete OEM customization is generally 1,000 units.
ODM Product Development
ODM development is required when the customer requests substantial technical or structural changes.
Examples include:
- New product housing
- Exclusive molds
- New capsule holder
- Proprietary coffee system
- Different battery configuration
- Different heating power
- New control functions
- Different water-tank structure
- Additional displays or indicators
- Major changes to internal components
ODM projects require engineering evaluation before cost, tooling, MOQ and development time can be confirmed.
