Handpresso

I had the good fortune to discover Handpresso before taking a trip to Africa
Being the coffee snob I am & after learning the various lodges at which we would be staying would only serve «instant coffee», I frantically scrambled to find a portable espresso maker that I would be able to take on a plane… i.e., NO air canisters
Enter Handpresso…
It is SO easy to use — use the bicycle pump-​style air pump to reach the targeted pressure level, pour in hot water & use your Illy ESE pod & voila!, delish fresh espresso
The machine consistently delivered a perfect shot of espresso & it even foamed up the perfect crema
This is my absolute favorite travel accessory & I won’t go anywhere without it, ever again… and believe me, there were more than a few envious looks of longing from other tourists who were forced to watch us enjoying real, freshly pulled espresso while they were suffering through their instant coffee drivel
Thank you Handpresso for supporting people with high coffee standards & understanding the perfect cup of espresso! Salut!
