A 2002 study for the Swiss agency for energy efficiency, found that in most households where an espresso or coffee machine was present, they accounted for more electricity consumption than an energy-label class A or class A+ refrigerator.
The award winning Presso Espresso Coffee Maker however, is a manual, non-electric espresso machine that produces the pressure required, to make cafe-style coffee at home.
The Presso is different, in that it uses as much energy as it takes to boil a cup of water in your kettle; the elegant design will compliment any kitchen surface and looks set to become a future classic; it’s made from polished aluminium, a material that will last, but can be recycled at the end of its lifespan.
With Presso you really get involved and the operation is very straight-forward:
You simply fill the steel filter with the coffee of your choice, attach it to the Presso via the chrome holder and pour boiling water into the heat-proof cylinder at the top.
Then you lift the lever arms, place your coffee cup into position and lower the arms; this action traps the air and forces water through the coffee at high pressure, to deliver a perfect brew into your waiting cup. The whole process takes seconds! Priced at: £58.99.
To save even more energy when making your next cafe style espresso, use the presso in conjunction with the Eco Kettle, which allows users to measure exactly the right amount of water every time before boiling. Priced at: £34.99.
