The Mypressi was definitely worth the wait!

The Mypressi is very well made and feels solid. It's evident that care was taken during design- all pieces fit together nicely and seams line up providing a nice presentation. The instructions provided are clear and simple.

From the time it took to unpack the Mypressi to my first double espresso being pulled was about 2 minutes including the 25 second pull time. Disassembly was equally quick and easy. The clean up was minimal and the Mypressi could easily be used during a hectic morning or on the go.

Three baskets were provided, I learned that the "pressurized basket" works best with espresso ground using the machine at the grocery store. The grounds didn't quite get fine enough to use the "standard basket."Luckily the instructions have a well laid out FAQ for situations like this. The water bowl has a very good marking inside of it so there's no guess work involved when adding water for a single or double shot.

The espresso produced was very impressive. To put it simply, my local coffee shop just lost a customer.

Every aspect of this product makes sense and its really clear that the inventors thought it through. Overall, the Mypressi far exceeded my expectations. It's well made, simple to use, and makes really good espresso!

I have a funny story about my Handpresso that starts at gate security at McCarren International and ends with me trying to explain to some TSA why I need to carry a spare O-ring.

However, rather than bring that into this review, let me just say that when I order a replacement for my confiscated Handpresso, I'll probably pass on the case! I mean, it already resembles some kind of space age peener pump! Why in the world put it in a rifle case? With balls? Why not slap a biohazard symbol on the side while you're at it?

At its longest, the strap measures 1 foot 10 inches long from shoulder to case, and at its shortest 11.5 inches. It has additional padding around the spout for extra protection and a zipper up seal to reassure the case's contents are always safe.

Initial Impression
I was a bit skeptical that I could get a decent shot of espresso from a portable machine. And while it doesn't develop as much crema as my home machine (and I wouldn't expect it to considering that machine is over $1,500) - this thing is a GREAT way for me to get my espresso fix at work.

Value
The build quality of the Handpresso is top notch, commensurate with its price (i.e. you get what you pay for). It should last quite a while. I was pleased to find that it comes with an extra O-ring gasket.

It's already paid for itself in savings - I don't buy espresso at Starbuck's anymore. It also IMHO brews a way more drinkable shot than Starbucks ever did - they really need to clean their machines and train their alleged "baristas".

Tips
For hot water, I use my office kitchen's hot water dispenser - and you really need very hot water to get a good shot, so take some care not to scald yourself. The only downside is I'm getting a lot of requests from co-workers to brew them a shot.

Product Description:
Make cafe-quality espresso wherever you are and wherever you go with the Handpresso Wild. Measuring just 8-2/3 by 3-8/9 by 2-4/5 inches, the Handpresso is small and convenient to carry on vacation, business trips, hiking, boating, or virtually anywhere. Yet it produces cafe-quality espresso big on taste, with no electricity required. Hot water and any E.S.E Pod are all that are required to ensure premium quality. Short for "Easy Serving Espresso," E.S.E. pods are sealed coffee pods designed specifically for use in E.S.E.-compatible espresso machines. They are easily acquired at coffee houses and grocery stores. To work the Handpresso, just pump it until the needle is in the green area on the pressure gauge, which indicates 16 bars of pressure. Next, add hot water from a kettle or a thermo-insulated bottle. Place an E.S.E. pod in the filter, close the top and press the button to dispense the espresso. It's never been easier or required less clean up to make espresso. The sealed pods eliminate mess associated with espresso making. There are no messy grounds spilling out. When the brewing is done, simply throw away the pod and rinse out the water receptacle. The product easily pays for itself in a short time with the money saved on store-bought espresso. Handpresso Wild makes an excellent gift idea.
