Not many people love coffee enough to take their espresso machine with them when they go camping. Where the heck would you plug your espresso maker? Luck Sarah and Dan Swan have a presso and they are so darn proud of it they sent us these great pictures from their recent camping adventure outside of Sydney.

So a few weeks back I received my first ever coffee making machine! I was super excited for my Presso to arrive, and reassured by my nearest and dearest that I too would be capable of making my own coffee., and save money at that! Goodbye burnt tasting, overpriced, fancy coffee-inspired beverages, hello d.i.y. coffee fun times. I loved the idea of a cordless, super simple machine that even I could operate.
After a long day at work I returned home to find my box o’ Presso waiting for me on my seat and once my cheap and cheerful coffee grinder arrived I was ready to start brewing. Grinding my deluxe beans was a no brainer and after boiling my water and having all of my equipment in place I pushed down on the arms of the presso and voila, my espresso was ready, and I might add, tasted far better in the comfort of my own home than at some cheesy yuppie coffee bar.
The next thing I knew my roommate and I got really jazzed about the Presso and started making back-to-back lattes, warming and frothing our lactose free varieties of milk and while she was frothing away, I was the house barista. Needless to say we were both bouncing off the walls for the rest of the day and I have now established a pleasant routine of presso-ing daily before running out the door to work.
