Locked and loaded

Fill the portafilter with your freshest espresso ground, tamp down and lock in place.
Don’t be shy, it’s a robust piece of kit, built-to-last.

Just add hot water

Whether kitchen boiled, or on a trekking stove, your hot water is cunningly delivered to the heat-insulating glass-composite pressure chamber by simply raising the arms.
From here on, its zero energy consumption – leaving electric pumps in a dystopian past.

Raise, then lower

Pulling down the arms applies all the pressure required for true espresso. Expect to feel some resistance, the amount is up to you.
A good shot takes 25 to 30 secs to extract all those lovely oils.

Great for all tastes

Americano, Flat White, Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato… a good double espresso is the foundation for many coffee styles.

No Landfill

Our manual espresso coffee maker has no electric pump or heating element to wear out, requires no descaling or regular maintenance. No wash cycles – just rinse under the tap. No standby power waste. No capsules. And the smallest carbon footprint in its class
And every improvement we have made over the years – and that includes doubling the power – have been provided as home applied upgrade kits that are very popular.
You can see we are a little mad about sustainability, and we find it easy to give a 10 year warranty in stark contrast to the one or two years offered by others.
