Handpresso espresso maker adds some elegance to any picnic

Handpresso.jpg

The Handpresso probably won't win over any purists since it only works with premade espresso packets, but it'll let you have some fancy coffee wherever you are. Just crank it up with the hand pump, load it with a packet of coffee, add some hot water and shoot caffeinated goodness into a waiting mug. It takes a bit of planning on your part as the unit itself doesn't really do much other than shoot already hot unit through a packet of espresso, but hey, it's portable.

At $150, only serious espresso junkies need apply.

I am from Puerto Rico and got my Handpresso through Coffee World Puerto Rico: http://www.coffeeworldpuertorico.ecrater.com I received my Handpresso about a week ago. The first expression is that this Handpresso is just nicely built, as well as the case. Making espresso is very easy, and it takes a minute or so to make a cup. I was impressed with the coffee. Believe me for a portable machine, coffee was great. Now my Handpresso substituted my Krups machine. I use Island Joe's ESE pods and Lavazza Grand Crema. A good hint is: to make sure espresso has an ok temperature, I heat up my cup as well as the water container before actually adding the boiling water. I always fill a bit more water (a few drops more) so the ESE pods gets soaked before extraction. And it really takes about 30-38 pumps, no big deal. With this I get a great espresso and crema too. I recommend buying ESE pods buy bulks of 100 or 150, it gets cheaper. The unit works best with the standard 7g E.S.E pod.
