Presso Espresso Maker

User-Friendly ; Instructions are easy to understand ; Eco-Friendly - requires no electricity to operate ; Easy to use - hand operated machine ; Portable - travels easily ; Great customer service

Water reservoir is plastic – if only it could be made of metal, but metal isn't see-through. No wonder they went with polycarbonate ; Espresso results depend on the operator – the Presso will not make espresso FOR you ; Crema results depend on grind...

The design and idea are very attractive if you like 'making' coffee in a green way

I had an accident with mine because of a faulty part and wasn't happy with the quality and the way the manufacturer dealt with it ; Wasted time to something that could be solved with a prompt replacement and a professional reply

easy to use, beautiful design, delicious espresso. we recently did a video review for the product http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eiefiu4X8XI

the 'milk frother' and 'dual espresso' split are nice considerations but quite dont live up to the high quality of the machine itself

The Presso is a bargain. I think it produces drinkable espresso at a price few machines can match ; Very easy to use ; Small footprint ; Very portable, would be easy to take camping or on business trips

Possibly not sturdy enough, I get the feel that it could break if i push too hard ; The aluminium is not treated, this has lead to some corrosion ; The little gears that keep the arms moving in sinc seem too small, this lends the the feeling that the...

Very well built, life time warranty, nothing that can break. Machine can be modified to work properly

The stock machine has a fatal flaw and cannot make espresso

Brilliant idea! Mostly very well thought-out design, very repairable, customisable, etc. The two-lever system offers mechanical advantage over the La Pavoni, and the structure much more stable and allows for more pressure to be applied safely. Much...

Perhaps expensive still for what it is. (Made in China, by the way. Do we know what the worker's conditions are like?) The piston design, while very clever keeps the pressure from reaching it's full potential. But this can be overcome

Manual, easy clean, simple to operate, compact light weight, does not need any power

manual, low pressure, very exacting, does nothing for itself

Simple, well made, aesthetically pleasing, makes decent espresso, inexpensive compared to a quality electric espresso machine, easy to clean

Does not develop as much pressure as an electric machine, so probably losing something in the extraction process compared to an electric. Doesn't steam milk - you need separate equipment for that

Price only $100 ; Great Coffee ; Easy to use ; No electricity required

No frothing wand

Simple for occasional use ; Not many moving parts ; basket held into handle with wire spring. (uncommon for a budget unit?) ; Good value-for-money ; Looks as good as a Philip Stark lemon squeezer, and I drink a lot more coffee than lemon juice ; Unlike...

Standing around waiting for the shot to go through ; Contacted Presso about a spare part and they never got back to me
