Overview
A camping trip, hotel room or office desk is where this hand-held espresso maker earns its place. A piston action pushes hot water through ground coffee, and the filter is reusable.
It brews espresso without electricity, and using ground coffee means any bean and roast can go in. The limitation is effort and volume, since each cup is pumped by hand and the serving is small.
Who it's for
Hikers, campers and travelers who carry their own ground coffee suit this unit. People wanting several cups quickly or an automatic machine should look at a countertop model.
Pros and cons
- No power needed
- Takes any ground coffee
- Small and portable
- Manual piston control
- Pumped by hand each time
- Small serving size
- Needs a separate hot water source
Performance notes
Hand pumping a piston builds the pressure that pushes hot water through the ground coffee. The grind and the amount of coffee change the result, and a reusable filter holds the grounds. The listing names hot water as part of the process but does not give a temperature.
