Handpresso

Wild Hybrid

Sometimes the world is a cruel place. This is especially true when you're out in it — camping, stuck at the office, stuck camping at the office, whatever — and you can't get an espresso. The people at Handpresso are just as irrationally insistent on getting their espresso anywhere, and getting it with a full complement of crema. The Wild Hybrid espresso hand press is their response to camping trips, long days at the office, and bad baristas everywhere. Just add hot water and a little elbow grease for café in almost any situation.

The Wild Hybrid pumps up like a bike pump and can generate an impressive 232 PSI, well beyond the usual 116 to 145 PSI necessary for making espresso. Its water reservoir is 50 milliliters. The Wild earns the hybrid designation because it works with either loose espresso grounds or pre-loaded E.S.E. pods, which are little packets of espresso grounds that eliminate the mess and hassle of juggling beans, grounds, hot water, and the Wild itself.

The Handpresso Wild Hybrid is available in colors Black and Silver.
