Unlike the huge contraptions in your office's kitchen, the small HK2 Café Invento Coffee Pod machine (imported by Caturra) is portable – you can bring it to work, on a weekend away, a music festival or even along for the ride on a road trip.

Each coffee pod machine, available in three funky colors (lime green, red or classic black) makes two cups of coffee with a crème layer. It has a removable drip tray, which makes cleaning easy, and an automatic shut-off system, so you don't have to worry about forgetting to switch it off. These nifty machines use enough water for two cups of coffee and come with a multi pad holder, which takes one or two coffee pods. The pods are available in three different flavors: dark roast (for those who need something a little stronger at the crack of dawn), decaf and classic (a mild coffee to get you up and about first thing).

The HK2 Café Invento Coffee Pod Machine is available through Caturra Coffee Club and retails at R749. With each machine, you'll get a special gift pack consisting of two Caturra mugs, six pods and an 18-pod pouch of your choice (dark roast, decaf or classic).
