Handpresso Wild Portable espresso machine
Do you travel often and find that no one makes espresso quite like you do at home?
Alas, you can stop those poorly caffeinated jitters with ThinkGeek’s Handpresso Wild portable espresso machine.
Here are the five steps to your own demitasse of espresso whenever, wherever: 1) Place an E.S.E. espresso pod in the gadget’s chamber. 2) Pour hot water in the gadget’s reservoir. 3) Release the switch. 4) Wait as the pressure chamber sends hot water through the coffee. 5) Consume.
The gadget weighs just 476 grams and the espresso pods can either be purchased through ThinkGeek or at various grocery stores. The item is on sale for $89.99.
Now, of course you’ll need to be in a place that has extremely hot water or the result will be a disturbingly lukewarm version of that delicious, piping hot beverage you enjoy at home. But if do indeed replicate it, you (and those around you) may be duly rewarded. And if you share it will be fellow travelers, you might foster a little es-prit de corps.
Looking for other travel gadgets that will lighten your load and make life easier? How about a lightweight DVR? Or a cable management system to wrangle errant power cords? Or the perfect pen for those on the go?
