It looks like something from the 19th century! Stunningly beautiful.

I bought a Presso, but had I seen this machine prior to my purchase, I would've had a difficult decision to make.

However, one thing I couldn't help noticing was your pouring of boiling water into a small *hand-held* container. Maybe I'm just an overly-cautious American, living in an overly-litigious country, but I'd eat the cost and include the stand, if for no other reason than avoiding the impending lawsuits.

Cheers.

@wildsprig

Good point. I encourage people to buy the stand because it makes it easier to use and it's great for storing the device. I originally included the stand, but separated it out to lower the cost because some people were freaking out at the cost. Most people do buy the stand, and less people seem to freak out at the price, so I will consider putting them back together. Thanks for the feedback.

it looks good. How many grams have you used for that single shot, though?

@violector

That shot was done some time ago so can't exactly remember, but it would have been somewhere around 21 grams.

I distribute the mypressi TWIST and also use it every day. Your machine looks very interesting. It looks very crafty and although I probably wouldn't use it all the time I would keep it around because it's just an item to have and it looks like quality. Is the portaspresso retailed any where else besides your website?

@establishmentME

It's only available through the website at this stage, and this is unlikely to change because of the high manufacturing cost. I think a retailer markup would make this device too cost prohibitive for the average person. Then again, if people knew how good this thing actually is, price would not be an issue. So who knows, perhaps as more of them get out there, the word might get around, and retailers could then sell them for a premium price.

@Portaspresso the question was directed at @zck7 who challenged the ability of the Rossa to control pressure. Not sure why he/she was confused.

@kb1ooo

Just found your comment, but not sure if you asked a question or not. I have posted another video with more explanation. I plan to post more, especially about pressure profiling. I profile every shot, and the results are very good; far superior to one constant pressure. I can't imagine not being able to vary pressure during extraction. Would be like having a car that is stuck in second gear.

@zck7 The temperature control comes from the claim that the device retains heat very well, which is not an easy task. I'm not sure why you are confused by the pressure control. The speed at which you turn the crank controls the pressure, so the device enables manual pressure profiling. What exactly did you expect?

I've uploaded a video showing a naked demo. The naked filter head is available through the website.
