Cafflano Kompresso, Handheld Espresso Maker

Product Information

Also, if you want to make espressos on the go – whilst out camping or just traveling in general – the Cafflano Kompresso is a great option. Especially with the ability to make high-quality cold espresso too. No batteries or electricity are required, so you really can have espresso anywhere. All you need are water and ground coffee, and your caffeine fix will soon be met. There’s something about a crowdfunded brewer that’s really exciting. It’s new, innovative, and people love it. How Does the Cafflano Kompresso Work? Cafflano Kompresso is the most compact and the lightest hand-held espresso maker. Its hydraulic compression (Pascal's Principle) amplifies the extraction force of authentic espresso and squeezing handles (handgrip) maximize the compression force to make consistent high-pressure over 9 bars. The Wacaco Nanopressooffers a budget-friendly option for a portable espresso maker. It exerts a higher pressure (18 bars) and can take a little more water than the Kompresso (2.7 oz). Like many other travel espresso machines, it also uses a pressurized basket, but you can still get pretty high extractions and nice shots with crema.

And the other was for Cafflano Kompact Simple Pressing Hot & Cold Brewer.Once you have dialed in your grind it’s pretty easy to insert the piston and press it to the bottom. It’s possible to exert a lot of force and I’d say that the famous 9 bars are within reach. The Cafflano Kompresso is the cheapest espresso maker that I know of (that isn’t completely worthless). The design is intelligent and simple and it is built to last. The Cafflano Kompresso uses a naked basket and that means that it’s best for advanced users, who already have a good espresso grinder and some knowledge about the brewing process. However, if you know what you’re doing, you can get great shots! Its ergonomic design offers a comfortable brewing experience with easy-to-apply pressure, curved arms, and a conveniently positioned pressure gauge.
