Handpresso - Espresso Maker Review - Unboxed and Outdoor Demo 

Brilliant video, mate! I have been seriously considering this product and you've helped me make my decision. In my opinion, yours is the only truly informative video on this product. You covered it all and answered any question I might have had - right down to the weight and usability. Thanks, mate, much appreciation!

Nanopresso vs Handpresso, What do ya think?

Thanks for the video mate, i really enjoyed your show. Anyway for the grinded coffee - clean issue , You could try to use an empty tea bag to place grinded coffee there and creating your own coffe pads. Give it a try. Happy new year.

Nice job GV, just ordered one of these for my bean addiction. Adorable lab pup, just makes me want to squeeze that little face.

Great video, as well as camping, I could see this being really good for making your own coffee in your hotel room, with some pods at hand.

Now thats some real dedication for a good coffee.

Just got mine!!!

which is better handpresso or nanopresso?

Awesome! Thanks for the video man. Would love to see a video on your cooking stove and what pieces you have that you made it up with.

Baxteeeeeer!!!!!!!

How many grams of coffee can fit into the basket?

even in the instructions it recommends preheating the water chamber. and for pressure, pumping into the red is needed to get full pressure extraction. you will have to periodically reseal all the gaskets with keg lube but the quality of the extraction precludes the bother. and who doesnt like fiddling with their espresso bits.

Thank you for this comparison! Now that you have had the Handpresso a few more years since you made the video, do you still recommend it as the best for traveling? Thank you!

Great video, and good job on the extraction, yeah second one was a little fast but you still got some crema, and you liked how it tastes and that's what matters. Another thing to consider about the handpresso is the pressure profile; it drops, and it drops quite fast, which makes it similar to a spring loaded espresso machine. This makes extraction tricky, cause if you go too fine, the machine underextracts, and you would get a watery drink. So if you can't go too fine and you have a small basket, what do you do if you want a stronger espresso? or if you wan to slow down extraction time?. You try to fit more coffee in the basket, by tamping with the lower end of the handpresso midway, and then fill again. So you fill the basket, about 3/4, tamp so you have more space to fill more, fill it, and do a final tamp. I personally do about 4 tamps total and load at least 10gr on the basket, cause I like my espresso dense and strong. I think you found the right setting on your grinder for that bean. With the setting you have your grinder on, try and fir 9.5~10gr of coffee, and you'll get perfect extraction. Handpresso also sells "intense portafilter" which slows down extraction. I was personally impressed by the extraction from the E.S.E. pod, it look pretty good for pre-ground coffee!. And yeah I agree with you, for a hike or camping trip, that just makes it so much easier. I personally don't take my grinder with me when I go on backcountry skiing trips, cause my skiis and AT bindings are freaking heavy. I bought a container that comes with 3 baskets, that I can pre-fill at home. Anyway, great vid, and welcome to the espresso world. Have fun with the handpresso, you can experiment and try lungos or even ristretto and see what you like best.

Nice crema

Wow, man I have never seen anything like that and didn't realise they such a thing was available....oh the wonders of RU-vid. Nice one.

OMG...that case. Imagine the looks you get when Airport security randomly goes through your bag. :)

You won't need the scale if you pre-measure the coffee ground and place them in separate small container or plastic baggies

Great voice and accent, consider podcasting :)

Wich win? Handpresso vs Nanopresso?

I wanna see more Baxter

which is better: handpresso or staresso?

The bottom of the pump handle is the correct size to be used as a tamper... ;)

wankin’ coffee

too much work - better off just getting a small espresso pot and propane burner for a fraction of the price

In Spanish we call it exxxxpresso. It's not like you are saying a whole different word. It's one letter. People should chill out a little bit

I dont like the handpresso, havent got god Coffee from it!
