Handpresso Domepod - use ground coffee in pod!

[CoffeeGeek]

Hi

Has anyone tried the new Handpresso Domepod ?

I'm impressed by the 16 bar pressure hand pump action with no batteries/electric required; at least you can use ground coffee with it instead of pods, so that's good!

Technical Details

• The world's first eco-friendly, non electrical, portable espresso machine
• Dimensions l x w x h (inches) 8.78 x 3.93 x 2.75
• Weight 1.16 lbs
• Water reservoir capacity - 50ml
• Maximum pressure - 16 bar
• 2 years warranty

Just wondered if you use one, and your opinion on taste and crema?

They appear a tad pricey though, around £80/$122.728

I have used it...hung out with them in Cali. They were working on a way to heat the water inside the unit with out having to have a external heating source. Did they ever achieve this? Pretty cool little toy if they did.

not as far as I know...still the kettle job, and the tip is to put the water in a little hotter, and way you go! I'm tempted to buy one as it's so portable and easy to clean!
