Oh, the tragedy. Worry not my friends, there is a new gadget in town and it was especially designed to save the coffee-drinker’s life. The Minipresso espresso machine is compact but very capable. Capable of delivering a fresh, hot cup of delicious coffee.
What makes this tiny object give the best espresso coffee when you’re away? The secret is the semi-automatic piston which is pumped by hand by the user. The Minipresso espresso machine also has a water reservoir inside the flask’s casing and a filter where you can put ca coffee capsule or coffee grounds. The latter you can do using a special adapter. The Minipresso espresso machine comes with cup and a pump. The cup is actually the cap on top of the flask itself.
To get the coffee out of this little beast you need to pump the piston by hand just a few times in order to build up some extraction pressure. Continuing to pump will help extract the coffee.
