GSI Outdoors Mini Espresso Maker - Review

Some people may say this is a luxury -- but frankly there is nothing worse than waking up in a cold tent on a cold morning to be greeted by instant coffee or stale tea. The easy way to solve this problem? A camping espresso machine of course! Perfect for that first thing wake-me-up.

GSI actually make a good range of coffee makers -- this one is the GSI Outdoors Mini Espresso kit which you can still buy from places like Amazon or Millets on the high street and is definately the closest you're going to get to 'real' espresso on the road. Whilst some people may argue this is not real espresso it does meet the criteria as set out on wikipedia (so it must be true).

Did it make it taste better then? After pressing the coffee down first?

@jamielongmusic It did... makes a huge difference.

It will make even better coffee if you press the coffee down. If you do it like you did in this video the the water will not go through the coffee at high pressure. Try it. You will get better coffee!!

@nathanshepherd1 I had no idea - thanks for the heads-up I'll give that a go this weekend.

Can't see much out that window lol.

Well there you go. I will do anything for a better coffee! Have a go and let me know if you think it's better.
