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, as we gazed out over the waves—not a bad way to start your morning. The only problem is, it’s been hard to convince people that we were “roughing it.”
Camping With Presso
June 12th, 2009Presso Pulled Apart
April 21st, 2009
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 understanding why your espresso maker is not working the way it used to.
Maintaining your presso is as simple as running some hot water over it when it has finished performing its coffee making duties. Note this is a good idea to do before you use it too so the body is clean and warm for the first shot you pull out. It’s also a good idea to give your presso a nice rub down with a soft cloth after the rinse to keep it looking shiny and new.
If something gets worn out in your presso or breaks it’s not too hard to pull the presso apart and replace parts. For example the O – Ring after 1000’s of presses may start to get a bit thin, as will your espresso shots if you don’t have enough pressure. No problems with the presso. Simply take a slot head screw driver to the crown of your presso, take out the screw. Pull up the plunger. Take off the worn out O – ring. Put a new one on. Screw it back together and you are back in business. Replacement parts for the presso are available for sale in Canada, United States and Australia.
The Presso is backed by a 12 month guarantee against manufacturing faults (under normal use).
