best travel solution for espresso

I have been trying to figure out how to have espresso when i travel for the last couple of years since I am spoiled with my current home set up. What I have found is that a an old style Bialetti moka pot or similar makes excellent expresso when you are on travel or are camping. I use the same grind and same coffee as my home machine and with a milk frother find I can make an acceptable latte, cappucino, or espresso shot with it. Its not a substitute for my home machine but it is about has good as what I got from a consumer espresso machine. It is my travel solution. Besides a generation of italian grandma's can't be all wrong
