Cera+ Portable Espresso Machine Model PCM03S | 45mm Basket

Battery-powered espresso machines have been growing in popularity because, honestly, the demand is real. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or out in the wild, getting a fresh shot of espresso no longer has to be a production.

Cera+ takes things a step further with a companion mobile app that lets you dial in parameters like water temperature and extraction speed. There’s even a pre-infusion mode designed for light roasts, where you can set how long the pump runs, how long it pauses for blooming, and when it resumes extraction — all in one profile.

ESPRESSO MACHINE MODEL CERA+ PCM03S

• 45mm filter basket, up to 16g: Espresso will be incredibly rich and full-bodied. Users won’t need to buy a separate basket (compared to machines that use a 7g basket).
• Nespresso capsule accessory included: Convenient for those who already love capsules, which are hugely popular on the market right now.
• Dosing spoon and dosing ring included: Helps with measuring and tamping neatly and cleanly. Unfortunately the machine does not come with a WDT stirring tool, so users will need to prepare one separately.
• Can self-heat water when needed: With hot water on hand, users can brew hundreds of cups — but if none is available, the machine has a self-heating mode (press and hold) and will begin extraction once it reaches the temperature set in the app.
• HappyGo Cera mobile app: Configure a wide range of useful parameters to suit different coffee types and flavor preferences. The app even includes a digital version of the user manual and usage guide. Connects via Bluetooth, so the machine needs to be nearby during pairing.

The HappyGo Cera app allows users to set the parameters of the Cera+ PCM03S coffee machine. It even lets you run the machine directly from the app without pressing any physical buttons.

DISADVANTAGES OF THE CERA+ PCM03S MODEL COFFEE MACHINE

• Buttons are a bit stiff: You get used to it, but the feedback on first use feels a little firm.
• No WDT stirring tool included: A toothpick works in a pinch, but you’ll want to grab a proper one separately.
• No carry case: A hard EVA case would make this a much more travel-friendly package.
• No charging brick included: Only the cable comes in the box, so make sure you have a USB-C charger handy.

NOTES ON USING THE CERA+ HANDHELD ESPRESSO MACHINE

• Use a 30W fast charger to minimize downtime between charges.
• When brewing from cold water, hold the power button for 1 second, then prep your coffee — you have about 2.5 minutes before extraction begins.
• 50ml of water yields roughly 35ml of espresso. 80ml gives you about 65ml, which works well as an Americano base.
• For pre-infusion (especially useful with light roasts), the sweet spot is when the first drops appear — pause the pump for 5–10 seconds, then let it run through. Every coffee and grind size is different, so a bit of experimentation goes a long way.
