Coffee in the Woods with the Double Shot Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker 

Thanks :) Editing videos is tough for me, especially as I don't plan the video out and I waffle waaaay too much, the videos are usually 50% longer than they are when I post them. Then I watch them over and chop out so much waffle. In this video I rambled on for a good 5 minutes about lockdown and what has happened over the last 6 months.

Thanks Peter, glad you enjoyed the video, have a great day :)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed them :)

Thanks, it was a labour of love, but totally worth the effort. It's small and light enough to take on Hikes with mates even if it's not needed. But when the weather turns, I can string it up we can all keep dry for the evening

That tarp is my pride and joy, it's made from the lightest material I could find, which made it much more tricky to stitch, it's also a cat-cut design (curved edges) It came out so well but took such a long time. It was totally worth it though. I might do a giveaway of some alcohol stoves in the future, just trying to locate more of those squeezy bottles, I do like it when things nest together perfectly.

@@GadgetViper yes It looks very well made. Looks like you would've bought it. Love your videos. 🤙

Thanks dude :) glad you liked it

Hope you are safe out there in this chaotic world

Спасибо, друг, хорошего дня :)

Thanks Sylvia, I do like making video in the woods with Bax, it's like therapy being amongst nature, although next time I must put some insect repellent on, I have over a dozen mosquito bites! It was totally worth it though :)

@@GadgetViper haha yes good idea. those small things in life aren't so welcomed

Thanks :) And Bax says hi :)

Thanks :) And Bax says hi :)

Thanks :)

That's an amazing idea!! I have a little wood stove that would work a treat for warming up pastries, I could even toast some fruit loaf :)

I'm surprised she didn't swear to be honest, she swore plenty later when she watched the video 😂

Thanks Friend :) more soon hopefully

Lovely, If I wasn't so into Pour Overs, I'd probably have an espresso machine too, thanks for watching :)

Thanks :)

Thanks Alex, indeed, really looking forward to putting some work your way soon :)

Thanks :) Yes I use the Pipamoka most days when I'm taking Bax over the park. I'll prepare the coffee before I leave, then stop at the top field and enjoy it :)

Thanks Friend :) I still use the Pipamoka too, when I'm walking Bax over the park, it's perfect, I get to the top field, sit on the bench and it's still piping hot :)

GadgetViper cool! But still Nanopresso is the best way of making an espresso 😎 PS: Bax is a true gooood boooi! 😁

@@stellsificator he's the best :).

Haha! Glad you like it, my script (in my head) was to spend most of the day in the woods, I expected rain and was really looking forward to sheltering under the tarp with Bax and just enjoying the solitude. The phone call was actually a blessing, as it gave me a few extra hours to get started on the editing, I also had waaaay less footage, so it wasn't as painful to get the video done :)

@@GadgetViper Mate, so for ground coffee on nanopresso, is it better to have a bit coarse ( a little bit rough right the meaning of coarse? ) or to have it fine? and when you have espresso is it right to mix it with milk or half and half? I like espresso but man it's too short or small volume, very tiny. I'm coming from kcup guy

@@jliverty if you've got a high end espresso machine, the grind is pretty fine, but that chokes up in the Nano, so you need to grind it a little less fine until it flows well. The pre-ground Lavazza Espresso pulls well through it, if you need to gauge the grind setting. I make my Espresso into a black Americano by topping up the double shot with boiling water. So, 16g of coffee in the basket, 55g of pulled shot (this will be the small water container maxed out) then I'll add about 200 - 250g of water. So the final weight is around 300g. I don't drink coffee with milk, unless I'm having a latte or Cappuccino, then you'd need to heat and froth the milk which is a ball ache on the trail.

@@GadgetViper True, that's really pain in the butt having milk on the go and have to froth it lol, anyway thanks for the tips! I'll get the lavazza pre ground next time.

Thanks Friend :)

@@GadgetViper thank you too, for introducing the nanopresso! I'm using it for two years every day 😊

All good, thanks for asking, yes, I do plan on making one soon :)

Thanks Scott, I'm going to try and get my hands on the new Staresso if I can, that would make cool video. That Coffee Jack has raised over £1.3 million on Indiegogo, that's crazy! Let's hope it lives up to the hype

@@GadgetViper New Staresso? Thanks - wasn't aware of it. (10 minutes later...) Just checked it out. Called the "Staresso Mini". Looks almost identical to the original, except for an extendable sleeve and non-glass cup better (and lighter) for travelling. But that applies only if one takes the cup (and cup holder sleeve) along, at all. If not in order to save weight and bulk, then one can just use the original Staresso and pump into one's own camping mug or whatever. That makes a lot more sense esp. if you want to make an Americano, thus needing to add water anyhow. So I don't see the point of getting the new Staresso unless they maybe improved the pump, itself. As for Coffee Jack: Yeah, that thing really took off. And from what I gather, they have engineered it to perfection, even using the "Corona slowdown" to improve its features even far beyond the original specs. This has had a negative impact on shipping, of course, but I am entirely confident they will get the thing out the door by December. If so, my Staresso will probably be retired.

@@scottbecker3485 it was this version that I was interested in - staresso.com/products/mirage

It's 9am here and I've just made a stunning coffee ☕ :) glad you liked the vids, sleep well

Perhaps on the next video :)

Ok thanks

I haven't used the Barsetto for a while, I'm a double shot guy, so I mostly use the Nanopresso. As for being chilled out, it's true, even when I'm angry over something, I can totally move past in matter of moments. I've been practicing mindfulness meditation for over 5 years now, it's rewired my brain. Now when there is a situation, instead of being angry, I just observe the anger, like I'm separated from it. It's difficult to explain, but it's almost a pleasurable experience.

@@GadgetViper Bought the Barsetto because of you (love the glass system) but shame there is not a way to double shot with. Also bought the coffee grinder because of you and I have no regret about it. Might try the meditation thing then. Lol

@@younsmal4873 you should, it has been a game changer for me. I dont often do the typical seated mediation these days, I do a walking mediation, I'll just try and keep focus on the pressure of the ground on my feat as I walk, it's as simple as that. Holding concentration is tough at first, but after practice it does get easier. If you can walk for 30 minutes a day and stay present, after a few weeks you'll notice the difference, good luck :)

Hi, before you adjust the grind size from what works with the single basket, try to reduce the volume (weight) a little in the basket of the doubleshot, if there is too much it will cause this. It should be around 4-5mm down from the top of the basket after you've given it a light tamp. If it still hardly comes out, with a little less weight, then try 1 click of adjustment

Definitely the Nanopresso with the double shot barista kit, one shot of coffee just isn't enough for me these days. I definitely prefer the Nano :)

@@GadgetViper Thank you! Can't wait to buy the nanopresso😆

I'm currently using the crushgrind, it goes super fine, I did a video on it a while back comparing it to the Hario Slim. It's a great budget grinder, if you've got a bigger budget, then check out James Hoffman's best manual grinder comparison video. Hope that helps :)

@@GadgetViper I watched that video after posting this comment and was really impressed. I'll check out James's video but I think I'm already set on the crushgrind

Or between a man and his dog ;)

Lol I was going to say dog too Bro.I have 2.
