When you are on the road and away from home or cafes, it can be hard to find espresso coffee, or more exactly, GOOD espresso coffee. I have long been searching for a solution and have been using a nice gas burner and stovetop espresso maker for road trips but airlines don't like you taking gas bottles on board these days! I have just bought a Handpresso, a small unit that uses a pump action much like a bike pump to store 16 bar pump pressure for espressing a single shot of coffee. This video captures me in my Alice Springs, Australia, hotel room and is the second time I used the device. Of course, I use Baristador Coffee, what self-respecting espresso evanglelist would use anything else! Anyway, one note - THE VIDEO QUALITY IS MEDIOCRE, shot with my really cheap Jazz USB video camera which I bash around on the road. This was shot simply for my blog rather than to win a Golden Globe award, so please be kind and, coffee lovers, enjoy. Yours in the spirit of espresso, Steve Davis.
