Flying with a Portable Espresso Maker: What You Need to Know

OutIn Mino brewing espresso in a hotel room

Travelling for work or a holiday doesn't mean settling for hotel coffee. Here's what to know before you fly with your OutIn.

Pack it in your cabin bag

OutIn machines have built-in lithium batteries, and most airlines require devices with lithium batteries to travel in the cabin rather than in checked luggage. Keep your OutIn in your carry-on.

Don't use it during the flight

Under airline rules you can't operate the machine on board. Brew before you fly and when you land.

Check your airline's rules

Battery rules vary slightly between airlines and countries. If you're unsure, check your airline's website or ask at check-in.

Empty it before security

Make sure the water tank is empty and dry before you pack it. Liquids in the tank can be stopped at airport security.

Travel-friendly coffee

Capsules are the simplest choice for travel – compact, sealed and mess-free. Nespresso Original Line capsules and compatible brands work with OutIn's adapter.

Protect it on the move

An OutIn protective case keeps your machine, capsules and accessories together and safe in your bag.
