Single cup espresso machine - thoughts
Looking to buy one when I travel any thoughts.
 http://www.mypressi.com/ or  http://www.illyusa.com/webapp/wcs/st...favorites_A042 Anyone use these or try espresso made from one of these? Last edited by K Baz; 09-21-2009 at 11:36 PM. |

Re: Single cup machine - thoughts
My thoughts are an Aeropress is so much cheaper then this that it is no competition. The water temp in this seems to be a problem since espresso is brewed in the range of 195-205f and you have to get the water in the device then brew you are losing temp the whole time.

Re: Single cup machine - thoughts
I'm with Rob. Aeropress might not get you "espresso" in the truest sense (or in any sense), but it's a damn good shot in it's own right. And for the reasons Rob pointed out I might very well doubt the ability of the other portables to really make "espresso" anyway. Aeropress cleanup is a breeze and it's pretty forgiving as to water temp.

I'm with Evan who's with Rob. I add: AeroPress makes best home/portable, easiest, lowest cost almost-espresso around.
