Daisaku Shoji Ltd. exhibited the "Handpresso" mobile espresso machine at the Autumn 2008 Tokyo International Gift Show.

The Handpresso works with high pressure extraction using an air pump and doesn't require electricity, so it can be easily carried with you when traveling such as to the beach or mountains for enjoyment of high quality espresso anytime and anywhere. The Handpresso, which was developed in France, is a simple, compact unit with a hint of elegance and is cherished by espresso fans worldwide.

"It's very simple to make espresso with the Handpresso. Simply pump the machine to a pressure of 16 bar, add coffee powder that comes in a small pack, and pour in some hot water. Now you can easily enjoy delicious espresso anytime no matter where you are."

  • Easy, if you're the kind of person that purchases 1 espresso drink from a retail outlet every day. $5 * 365 = ...!!!

  • As someone who actually owns the machine, I can say that the espresso quality is on par with the best I've had from a pod machine (make sure to buy individual packets - I made the mistake of buying the Illy "vaccum sealed" tin and it tasted horrible within only a few days).

    The build quality is actually very good, despite what it looks like in some videos.

    Also $120 (or $90, as it is now) is peanuts for a quality espresso machine. Some run into the thousands of dollars!

  • terrible foam!

  • you don't make great espresso with device lack of unsteady pressure.

  • 0:58 He's jacking off another guy

  • You may as well purchase a 12 volt VELOX for the same amount of money AND it boils water for the espresso too!

    If you buy a 120 volt to 12 volt adapter, you can use the VELOX espresso maker at home too!

    I bought mine at Javaxotic

  • @rockandrope

    Totally agree with you. Hopefully an enterprising boffin will make some kind of re-usable nylon pod similar to those that became available for the Pod machines.

  • I dont see the point of this product.

  • I got a great tip for homemade espresso at coffeeloverstipandtricks (.) com

  • @rockandrope They have got one. Check their web page.

  • great idea let down by the need to use 'pods'. Make a version that you can use with what ever coffee you want and you'll have a real winner!
