eco espresso maker

eco espresso maker



conventional espresso machines consume a lot of energy, even when they are in 'off' mode.
british designer patrick hunt of therefore has designed an eco espresso maker for presso,
in which coffee is made through a controlled blend of pressure and temperature.
the machine is manually powered and only a small amount of energy is used to boil a kettle.
made from polished aluminium, the espresso maker can also be recycled at the end of its life.



use coffee grounds suitable for espresso machines and tamp them down firmly with the presso
spoon tamp. after filling the presso with hot water, raise the handles of the machine and let the water
infuse the grinds for 15-25 seconds. then, push the handles downwards in a smooth motion
and hold them at the end of the stroke and wait for the water to be extracted.

I agree with elvis , with all the other problems in life , and earth saving designs - can we just keep the espresso sacred !!! try the carbon footprint on the making of a bottle of mineral water !

i thought it was the pressure that makes espresso espresso. so why isn't this espresso?
also the aeropress does the same thing

and to those who feel that this is sacrilege, there are advantages to having appliances that don't require electricity.

I've been using this Presso from a week and I have never been more impressed by any other coffee product except this one! It is extremely easy to use and maintain!I ground my own beans and it works perfectly. It's so easy to use that my friends can use it with ease that you don't really need to show them how to use it!

Okay, if it's not espresso, what the heck have the Italians and Turks been making with those tiny aluminum pots for so long??? You mean it's not Starbucks Espresso?? (doh!)
