The Handpresso portable espresso maker is described as simple, light and compact and will get you your coffee fix anywhere you can muster up some hot water.

The Handpresso "Wild" works without electricity to make a premium quality espresso coffee - anywhere - and is aimed at those heading off on hols or for camping trips and the like.

Using E.S.E. coffee pods (apparently available at all supermarkets), you operate the machine by pumping it up to 16 bar pressure, sticking in said pod and adding hot water.

The handy travel-friendly gadget is available now for £79, with a snazzy carry case available for an extra £19.

  • 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. Posted by Francisco Rodriguez, Puert Rico
