Inspired by Ladalet's Olympia video I recorded the whole process of making a shot on the Presso. It came out well so here it is!

Great machine! I would really appreciate to have one on the boat and when hiking.

How's the taste? Compared to lever/pump espresso?

Hey Guys, thanks for the comments!

To keep it simple, it tastes great. Lots of depth and a lingering dark chocolate from the Brazil I used there.

It is difficult for me to compare the taste to other machines 'cause I don't have much tasting experience, but straight shots from the Presso taste better then those I get from my Precisia (PID, vibe pump) using the same basket and PF. Part of that might be due to technique and familiarity with the machine though...

Bravo!

I am inspired!

More details on the site to follow.

Great video! I've also tried using Presso once. Although it is not a true espresso machine w/. 8-10 bar brewing power, from my memory it tastes really not bad. One advantage I found is that we can just pour over the hot water of target temperature we wanted, a simple & effective way of temperature control.

The newer Presso PF has a standard screw-on single nozzle, one could hook up a pressure gauge (as documented here) and get an accurate pressure reading...

Love it! I especially like the choice of music, Copland...any way of getting a close up shot of the shot?

Hey Paul, glad you liked it! Copland is great, huh? I'm listening to Barber- "Summer of 1915" right now... there are some great American composers!

I don't have any pictures of the shot in the video, but here is one from a while back (with better lighting!)
