From our friend Jake Garrett in Vancouver: When I was a kid I would always put out all the utensils on the table even if we weren’t using spoons with that meal because otherwise I would feel bad for them. I thought this was something I was over, but evidently not, as I have begun [...]
Just back from a cottage weekend north of Peterborough, Ontario to celebrate some birthdays and enjoy the fall colours. No skinny dipping this time around I’m afraid, just a roaring fire, fun games, great food and plenty of wine shared with an awesome group of friends. I was on ‘breakfast duty’ so to impress(o) my [...]
From our Vancouver dwelling buddy, Jake Tobin Garrett: Unlike conventional espresso machines, the Presso won’t tell you what time it is. Or, if you’re like me, not necessarily what time it is right now, but what time it could be if you finally programmed the thing to stop flashing “12:00”. That’s because there is no [...]

Dose, tamp and pulls were foreign… concepts. Presso is the easiest espresso maker I’ve ever used and finally [...]
The presso seems right at home out on the green grass surrounded by chickens. I guess one could say it’s only natural as the Presso is one of the lightest and transportable espresso maker in the world. If you love the taste of a fresh espresso and a cafe is not close by you might [...]
We Presso folk tend to be pretty simple, but there are certain things that we think are really important in making a great cup of coffee. Ask any coffee lover and they will tell you, the fresher the grind the better the coffee. If you really want to take your coffee making seriously you must [...]
Sleeping outdoors is no excuse for bad coffee. On a recent trip to Rainbow Beach, we didn’t have to sacrifice our morning ritual even though we were miles away from a kitchen. Instead of using our electric kettle, we heated our water over our camping stove—that was the only difference. We had hot, delicious espresso, [...]
Espresso makers like most type of equipment need maintenance and occasionally parts need to be replaced. The Presso espresso maker is in a class of its own when it comes to maintainance and repairs. With espresso makers that need plugging in you had better have a degree in electronics if you stand a chance of [...]
