Coffee with grunt

This little coffee maker reminds me of those bottle openers with arms. You know… the little man bottle openers. It doesn’t need power – except to boil the water. And requires a bit of elbow grease. If you’re one of those people who’ll only eat something that requires extra effort to produce then this might be for you…

It’s called a Presso. And you can buy them in Australia.

It reminds me of the previously posted MyPressi Twist…

And the Handpresso…

New twist on portable coffee

Meet the mypressi TWIST. A completely portable espresso machine that produces pressure courtesy of a cylinder of pressurised air (the same type used for whipped cream guns and soda siphons) in the handle.

It’s probably not the “first” portable coffee maker – I wrote about one a while ago… but it was bike pump powered.

Brew by you

What do you get if you merge a bike pump with a coffee machine? A handpresso.

This could be the world’s smallest espresso producing device – unless you’ve got a really small stovetop brewer. It’s very cool – and $99.

The downside – as far as I can see – is that the system uses pods. Which plenty of people are enthusiastic about. But nothing beats freshly ground, freshly roasted coffee. When there’s a basket system this could be a winner. You can buy it here.
