We have been hugged by the Tree. I have just discovered a couple of great reviews and commentary on the Presso. Tree Hugger reviewed the Presso along with 8 other coffee makers in September.
8 TreeHugger-Tested Coffeemakers for Professional Home Brew
More hugs for the Presso too at the end of last year when they wrote about how easy the Presso is to repair. Good hugging for sure.

Who Would Have Thought That My Presso Coffee Maker Is The Most Repairable Thing I Own? (Photos)
What a great shot for a presso rookie. A Porlex grinder was also used. Keep up the good work.
A big thanks to Slavko for treating Jason and I too a couple of bags of coffee from Thor in Toronto. It seems fitting that our friend we made from social media would bestow such a lovely present on us.
It just goes to show you how the big world of coffee is growing into many small and powerful communities with a passion for the bean. Here is a link to an article from Toronto Life on a little coffee shop named Thor.
Years ago Jim Schulman posted an article online detailing what he described as Presso’s “fatal flaw”. At the time Jim posed that to achieve good results from the Presso, a modification to the piston was required to fill the air pocket which forms inside the cylinder when making a shot.
For the record, it is not necessary to modify the Presso in any way to achieve great tasting, rich shots of espresso replete with crema. If the coffee is freshly roasted, ground right before making a shot and to the right degree of fineness (not too fine) then you’ll be well pleased with the results. Read more on getting the most from your Presso.

Feature review in BC Home Magazine
Anyone who has ever savoured a shot of espresso and marveled at its glorious crown
Here is a link to their virtual edition of their April/May 2010 BC Magazine.
The good press just keeps coming in for the presso for its energy saving performance and small counter top footprint. Bonappetit did a lovely feature with the presso for Earth Day.
“..This manually-operated espresso maker uses no electrical power, which means saved energy. Just fill the filter with coffee grinds and the chamber with hot water, and use good ol’ arm strength to press down on the arms of the machine.”
Visit Bonappetit for a read of the full feature.
This Mother’s Day consider giving a gift that’s kind to mother nature.
Just like your Mum, there is only one mother nature and they both deserve special treatment. If your mother enjoys a nice cup of coffee why not serve her one made from the Presso powerless Espresso maker and let her know she can keep on making them without feeling the guilt of using up too much electricity. The presso is lever actioned and people powered. The only energy needed is what it takes to boil a bit of water.
Look Mum--made with my own two hands
To sweeten things up a bit more too we will be offering a free sugar spoon dispenser with every Mothers Day Presso purchase (and we are looking into chocolate covered coffee beans too). Go on presso and pour it on for Mum. She deserves it.
Many years back All-Clad had a run at making pressos for Patrick Hunt in the US market. What looked like the perfect fit at the time ended and the business relationship was terminated.
What resulted was a boon for the serious coffee snobs who were the early adopters giving this great coffee making invention a go and then snapping up bargains when the discontinued product was heavily discounted. If you happened to have picked up or come across an all clad presso and the price is right don’t hesitate to take the plunge. It’s very likely that should your all clad version need parts immediately or in the future we could supply you with them. If you have any question just email our presso spare parts and repair department at info@presso.com
