wacaco minipresso gr
manual espresso anywhere, no power needed
the minipresso gr is a hand-pumped, ground-coffee espresso maker that fits in a jacket pocket and costs $46.90. it holds 70ml of water and 8g of coffee, tops out around 8 bar of pressure, and runs entirely on manual effort. that pressure ceiling means the shot won't match a proper espresso machine, but for camping, travel, or office use where electricity isn't available, it punches well above its price and size.
