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!

Uh oh, another "pod" device where you have to buy their expensive product to make the gizmo work. This is great innovation, but the hook is what makes me not want it.

It looks like it uses standard ESE pods, the same ones nearly all espresso makers use in the US and Europe, so you'd be able to get cheap pods anywhere.

Someone please tell me this is fake. How on earth can you make a proper espresso in that tiny thing?
