With a quick pre-heat, I'm hitting the sweet spot for my light roast beans every time. Smart engineering.
Paired with a hand grinder and a jet boil, it was pure bliss. There is something primal and satisfying about pressing your own espresso in the middle of the woods. The thermal insulation sleeve works well to keep the water hot.
Love the direct feedback from the lever. You can literally feel the pressure building up. If you grind too fine, be prepared to use some muscle—it's a bit of an arm workout! But that's the beauty of it; you have total control over the pressure profile. 10/10 for engagement.
bought the Micro specifically because it fits a standard 58mm portafilter. This is huge. It means I can use my precision VST baskets and expensive tampers from my home machine while I'm in a hotel or camping.
This is how rich crema is extracted! Amazing! Such a great piece of gear. Love it!
The quality control could be slightly better, but the product itself is actually quite good. It's simple to operate, easy to learn, and very convenient to use.
Adjusted the grind size and hit about 9 bars. Finally got some real crema (not just foam). It's not a huge amount yet, but I'll keep experimenting.
Very practical. It's a bit of a workout to press—maybe I just haven't got the hang of it yet—but the shot quality is excellent with rich crema.
This little guy is actually pretty awesome.
Pretty good. The espresso meets my expectations. The machine is compact and super easy to clean—I really like it. I hope the owner releases an extended lever accessory in the future to make the pull easier.
This is my second order from this store. Just like the first time, the shipping was tracked all the way, and the product quality exceeded my expectations. It's hard to find these specific manual tools elsewhere. Highly recommended.
I purchased the Micro specifically because it utilizes a standard 58mm portafilter. This allows me to use my high-end tamper and distribution tools from my home setup. The shot quality is indistinguishable from my electric machine once you get the pre-heating right. A brilliant piece of engineering for travel.
Highly recommend this hand-press espresso maker—compact, efficient and really user-friendly.
The workmanship feels very good, and the extracted concentrate quality is also good. With enough strength, it can stabilize at 9bar, and it can also be used as a fitness tool if the strength is not enough.
My favorite part about this machine isn't just the coffee (which is excellent), but the cleanup. No backflushing, no descaling chemicals. I just pop out the puck, rinse the chamber, and I'm done. It has simplified my morning routine significantly.
Honestly, the espresso this little thing pulls is impressive. Thick crema, great body. It IS a bit of a workout though—who needs the gym when you have this? But for the price, you can't beat the quality. Highly recommend if you don't mind putting in some muscle.
