Presso is a hand-operated espresso machine. Through the energy saving and protective mechanism, high quality espresso succeeds immediately, just as you know it from your favorite café. Presso consists of polished aluminium and it is fulfilled by a small plastic cylinder where the hot water is filled in.

To get the perfect espresso, two things are mainly important: the interior pressure and the right temperature of the water. The water shouldn’t boil, but lowered to 90°C. Common espresso machines create a low pressure and use boiling water: things that use to make the espresso bitter. The Presso espresso machine however, works independent from the warmth source: the water is boiled in a separated water boiler and placed aside a moment before it is used. The pressure can be regulated by the user himself with two levers at the lateral.

And this is how it works: firstly place the espresso cup under the machine and set the water boiler. Insert now the desired espresso powder in the signaled container. Now fill the hot, but not more boiling water in the plastic cylinder at the surface of the machine. Fill the container with as much water as possible, as this raises the interior pressure.

Now move the lateral arms of the machine upwards. Hereby the water runs out of the cylinder into the container with the espresso powder. Let the water flow through it 10 to 15 seconds and afterwards press the arms slowly down. This captures water and air in the capsule and presses through the espresso powder. Press the arms to the lowest point until the espresso entered the cup. Repeat the process a second time if the whole liquid didn’t leave the coffee powder.

The Presso espresso machine has already been awarded numerous times with, for example the Japanese Good Design Award for its rustic design as well as for its functionality.
