Following on the trend of outdoors/innovation comes this new gadget (not currently available in SA). The Handpresso is a contraption (not to be confused with a bicycle pump) that allows you to make an espresso anywhere - more specifically in the bush.  

How does it work?

Nothing is easier! Just pump the machine to 16 bar, add hot water from a kettle or a thermo insulated bottle and an E.S.E. pod. Then, serve a premium quality coffee in your cup by pushing the button.

It seems to be the latest thing (for like 10 years now) to 'rough it' without really roughing it, but are we willing to forego our creaturely comforts of hot water, a comfy bed and at the very least our eternal espresso? Well it seems that our friends over at the 'centre for scientific inventions to rock the world' have solved these problems in a few easy pumps.
