    My partner loves expresso but we have a tiny kitchen so no room for a big machine, plus I know it would gather dust as the whole cleaning routine would bore him. So took the plunge and bought him a handpresso for Christmas. Quite expensive I thought but what the heck.

    Its lovely! Makes apparently good expresso (I've no idea I hate the stuff), quick, easy, really easy to clean and it fits in the cutlery drawer. The clearest indicator that this is a winner is, in a house with gadgets gathering dust in every cupboard, this gets used regularly.

    Two downsides - firstly despite what I'd read I couldn't find the right pods in any supermarked - had to buy them on line so no coffe Christmas day, secondly I can't get the lid off after the coffee is made so I shan't be buying one for my arthritic father!

    If you you have strong hands and a small kitchen go for it.

    I had this delivered yesterday and I am using it with Illy pods in my office which lacks a decent coffee machine. This is beautifully designed and built. It produces a decent shot of espresso with the minimum of fuss. It only needs a few pumps to get up to pressure and is very easy to use. The coffee produced is as good as the full sized Nespresso machine I use at home. When you are done remove the pod and rinse the exit nozzle and stick it back in the drawer. A very good product that lives up to its advertising.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2009
    Bought this after seeing on the Gadget Show - not cheap but worth the £s. Makes excellent coffee & great for taking away. Pods best bought in bulk online or could get expensive. Only slight flaw is that paintwork chips fairly easily (even with it's expensive case). Would recommend if you like your espresso!

    Good idea, but coffee is very light. After little use the plastic button to stop the pressure broke by itself, so I wrote to the producer but I did not receive any response. Good idea but badly developed.

    I bought this because I work in an office with nothing but a rubbish coffee machine and a boiler. I previously worked in the middle of London and got used to decent coffee from the nearby Italian coffee shop. The Handpresso didn't disappoint. You need to preheat the espresso cup and the glass reservoir or it won't be hot enough. But the coffee has a good kick and a nice crema on top. The best pods I've found so far have been the Waitrose own-brand. About half the price of Illy and a darker roast.

    I store it in my drawer at work and the thin paint on the bezel around the pressure gauge has started to come off, but it's only cosmetic and it still seems to be a very solidly built machine. Now I just have to teach my colleagues to stop calling it "expresso"!

    Highly recommended.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 'Handpresso' Espresso Maker
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2009
    Verified Purchase
    The 'Handpresso' does 'what it says on the tin' and produces a good cup of espresso from a standard coffee pod. A drawback is that you have to load the container with hot water from a kettle (or thermos if you are outdoors) for each espresso you want to make. It works well with standard coffee pods. It just needs to be pumped up a few times to get pressure up and then it delivers a perfectly respectable espresso.

    A most useful device if you wish to make an espresso in your hotel bedroom or on a picnic. Not a candidate for your main espresso maker but a useful portable adjunct.

    5.0 out of 5 stars lifesaver for holidays
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I like (need) a strong espresso to wake up in the morning. I got this for a holiday trip and it worked out really well. As long as you have access to hot water it makes coffee making really simple. It produces a really nice little cup of espresso at a perfect drinking temperature. It's easy to pump up to the right pressure, add water, put in pod, turn over, press button and it's ready. It does tend to spurt and splutter at the end of the pour, so make sure it's on a surface that can take some splashes. The unit itself is easy to clean - just rinse under a tap.
    It feels solidly built and is pretty heavy, so I wouldn't take it backpacking.
    I now keep it in my office to make a nice post-lunch coffee.

    das ist die zweite handpresso, die ich gekauft habe, ich mag das kleine teil also wirklich. die erste war nach heftigem dauereinsatz nach knapp zwei jahren verschlissen, obwohl die handpressos sehr stabil gemacht sind. wichtig ist die wahl der ese-pads, da diese den geschmack entscheiden. der espresso selbst ist dann ein gedicht und kann sich locker mit den grossen maschienen messen. ürsprünglich aber fand ich die manuelle mechanik lustig, und war dann überrascht, was für ein toller espresso rauskommt

    Mi rivolgo a Raffaele e Flavia.
    Non siate così pessimisti nei confronti di un dispositivo , a dir poco geniale.
    Fa stupire che sia stato concepito in Francia e non in Italia che siamo la Patria del "Caffè Espresso".
    Vi lamentate , a mio avviso ingiustamente, che non si può usare perché manca l'acqua calda, un po' di elasticità mentale penso non guasterebbe.
    Siamo in un ' Era tecnologica dove si può trovare di tutto e di più, ad esempio un ottimo Thermos o meglio ancora un Bollitore 12volt che funge da Thermos, in entrambi i casi si può usufruire di acqua calda a 80° per almeno 2 ore il primo, mentre per il secondo (il bollitore) per un tempo indeterminato, e qui sta la genialità del prodotto, rispetto ai concorrenti che si possono usare solo in auto.
    Questo lo si può usare anche a piedi durante una passeggiata o un tracking su per i monti.........non c'è paragone!
    Per non parlare infine della qualità del caffè ..proprio come al bar e forse anche meglio!

    No es necesaria una fuente de energia eléctrica para tomar café en el campo.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Super Idee schlecht umgesetzt, zum dem Preis ein Witz
    Reviewed in Germany on 15 December 2013

    Als ich die Handpresso bekommen habe war ich zunächst enttäuscht - der Kaffee war einfach nicht gut.

    Nach einigem Experimentieren und Wechsel der Kaffeesorte war ich dann begeistert, wirklich guter Espresso.

    Leider sind die Dichtungen sehr anfällig und nach geschätzen 100 Kaffees wurde die Maschine undicht.

    Seither hab ich einige Zeit investiert, Dichtungen getauscht (dabei ist dann leider ein Riss bei der Verschraubung des TAnks entstanden)
    Jetzt hab ich versucht das mit Kleber zu richten - sie ist und bleibt undicht (der Druck entweicht sodass kaum mehr Wasser durch
    den Kaffee läuft).

    Da ich sehr viel Kaffee gekauft habe (wegen der relativ hohen Versandkosten) kaufe ich mir nun notgedrungen wieder eine
    Handpresso.

    Wenn schon schlechte O-Ringe verwendet werden und der Kunststofftank anfällig auf Risse ist, dann sollten diese Dinge zumindest als Ersatzteile angeboten werden.

    Schade - die Idee finde ich genial.

    Nachtrag - ich hab im Dezember eine 2. Handpresso gekauft, dazu auch gleich einen Ristretto Filter (Kaffee wird damit wirklich besser).
    War alles toll, aber nach einem Monat war beim Pumpen plötzlich kein Widerstand mehr (es konnte kein Druck aufgebaut werden) - na super.
    Nach einigem Probieren, hat es dann wieder funktioniert. Da das nach so kurzer Zeit aufgetreten ist, hab ich die Maschine zurück geschickt.

    Jetzt hab ich wieder ein Monat gewartet, hab immer noch viel zu viel ESE-Tabs und bestell jetzt Nr. 3.
