Handpresso lets you take espresso anywhere

You might think you're a caffeine fiend, but you aren't really until you have to take a portable espresso maker with you everywhere you go. Handpresso looks and works like a bicycle pump - you pump air to a pressure of 16 bar, fill the reservoir with hot water, drop in an espresso pod, and the Handpresso renders a steaming hot cup of espresso. There's no word on how well it works, nor how the coffee tastes, but we're pretty sure that it beats instant espresso powder mixed with hot water!
