The world’s first portable espresso maker. No external power needed and small enough to carry around. This revolutionary machine produces espresso rivaling some of the best countertop espresso machines on the market at a fraction of the price and is already receiving much buzz among espresso aficionados and everyday foodies.

So who makes this wonder? Espressi does. It’s called the mypressi TWIST™. Founded by Stephen O’Brien, this device was envisioned one early morning when Stephen began to crave an espresso while on his honeymoon. “Lost” in a tropical paradise without access to an espresso maker, Stephen began contemplating the creation of a new machine that could produce a shot equal to that of any commercial machine, and yet be portable enough to travel anywhere. That morning, in a hut over a beautiful Bora Bora lagoon, the idea for the mypressi TWIST was born.

The TWIST retails for $169 US, which includes the TWIST, a pod adapter, two ESE coffee pods, a tamper, starter gas cartridges, a drip-catching coaster and travel pouch.

The following video is from the Seattle Coffee Gear, demonstrating the TWIST.
