Good espresso can be hard to come by, usually involving a run to a local good coffee shop or buying expensive electronic devices. The Handheld Portable Espresso Maker by Handpresso aims to bring good espresso to all without the use of electricity or large cumbersome devices.
The Handpresso Wild is a portable espresso maker that looks rather like a bizarre bike pump and is operated in a similar manner. Using Easy Serving Espresso (E.S.E) pods the device allows you to make espresso anywhere, in your living room, camping outdoors, anywhere you have access to hot water.
The espresso maker uses no electricity, the pressure is created by your own movements in pumping the handle as you would a bike pump. There is a pressure gauge on the device that shows you when you have reached 16 bar of pressure, highlighted out as a green zone. When this pressure is achieved you place a E.S.E pod into the device, add boiling or hot water (could take hot water with you in a thermos flask) and the pressure forces the water through the E.S.E pod, making the cup of espresso. It is using the pressure to do this that helps make this a more genuine espresso.
The Handpresso Wild is made from environmentally friendly materials. It helps ensure even those who travel can enjoy a good cup of coffee when they need it. Designed to be small enough to fit easily into a bag, backpack or handbag It is a truly portable device that works without the need of mains electricity or batteries. The only problem is sourcing hot water for this, but that could be taken with you in a thermos flask.
