Espresso on the Fly

10/27/2008

You gotta have your daily java fix, but paying $4 bucks at Starbucks is adding more strain to your already buckling bank account, and the coffee at the office tastes like watered down 10W-40. You can satisfy your espresso jones no matter where you are, by packing the Handpresso Wild.

A portable espresso machine, it doesn't use any electricity or batteries - it's powered by a few pumps to build up the pressure needed. Add hot water and a pre-measured pod, hold it over a cup and hit the button. In a couple of seconds you're drinking the perfect cup of espresso.

The best part of the Handpresso is its portability. Bring it to the office to get your morning going, take it to the gym for a pre-workout buzz, or take it on your next hike, for a caffeine-fueled push. Or stand outside Starbucks and charge half price.

$129.99

Add hot water? Where do I get hot water on the go? Isn't that the biggest obstacle to coffee on the go? I already have a really small French press coffee maker.

This thing is basically a bike pump. Hope it doesn't add any machine lubricants to your coffee, or it really will taste like 10W-40.

Hot water ? How about a tap (or "faucet" as you shit-eaters say)...
