Feature review in BC Home Magazine

Anyone who has ever savoured a shot of espresso and marveled at its glorious crown

of crema appreciates the artful science inherent in its preparation. Such aficionados will

either be delighted or wary when they encounter Presso, an espresso machine designed

to be both eco-friendly and efficient sans electricity. Just pour boiling water into Presso,

pull the “arms” down, and voila, a fresh shot of espresso. Presso’s sturdy yet stylish appeal

will entice you to give it a prime position on your counter. And just because you’re posh

at home, doesn’t mean you have to take roughing it to heart when camping this summer.

Glam up that picnic table with Presso, but be prepared for the curious onlookers that are

sure to stop by. $160, shop.presso.ca – J.G.

All-Clad Presso

greg — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 06:07:36 +0000

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

Presso gets prestigious Gadget of the Week

Last night I got an email from Patrick Hunt, the British Designer of the Presso, letting me know that our little coffee gadget got a great review in the Sunday Times on the weekend (ST is the biggest Sunday paper in the UK). The review really sang the pressos praises for its simplicity and elegant design. Below is a copy of the review and a link to the article. Well done Patrick and the Presso.

impress(o) my friends

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 06:59:51 +0000

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 friends, I pressed out a few espressos and americanos for the group. Big hit!

I’ve been using Lavazza but I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions of other great brands to try?

Friends, still loving my presso

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:30:01 +0000

Gemma Cutler of Toronto, Ontario writes…

I’ve always been daunted by the big boxy machines I’ve seen on friend’s kitchen counters and have instead relied heavily on my local coffee shops to do the work for me. Dose, tamp and pulls were foreign… concepts.

Presso is the easiest espresso maker I’ve ever used and finally understand that espresso isn’t simply strong coffee. There is a true art and technique to pulling the perfect shot…one that Presso let’s you do first hand. Using your hands. It’s really quite cool.

Presso and the Chickens

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 just want to give the Presso Espresso maker a try.
