Would probably make a nice coffee but it's not espresso.
Nonetheless I'm tempted to try one.

Bought it in Vietnam in 1997 - pretty confident it's aluminium.
Makes a nice little espresso shot. I make a perfect (for me) double espresso shot with 3 teaspoons of ground coffee (on our sunbeam bur grinder set to a fine 4 - there may be a more optimum grind but this is what I use and it works nicely) and 120ml of recently boiled water.
It just sits on top of my mug. weighs a meagre 21gm. 55mmx90mm with room to stuff your ground coffee in it for a few days hike.
Here's how to use it (umm but for me without the condensed milk) https://youtu.be/SijXazsElZQ

I think these are vacuum sealed so should keep the coffee fresh for several weeks.
Plus they're measured amounts so you don't have to guesstimate how much to take.
The added weight could be a problem for some.

weighs about 130 grams (this is the slightly lighter aluminium but I have about 300-400 uses up and it is still like new), put your coffee inside and it is tiny. Got one for my daypack and one for my big rucksack. Sat on the beach at Point Addis this morning, 12ks into a 22km walk, drinking coffee from this- Perfetto!
If anyone wants the dimensions just ask. Ciao ciao."
Buona fortuna
