My birthstone is a coffee bean. – Anonymous

I start my day slowly and with an espresso in hand. My brother has commented more than once that my day will only be as good as my first coffee. Before 10am, no matter what the question is, my answer is always coffee. And this is why I never head into the woods…. or to a remote country without a way to brew a good cup of java!

Enter the Nanopresso by Wacaco Co Ltd. This baby is small, light and superbly designed! It’s my second try at a portable hand press and I love how easy it is to pump! My first one was a full workout where I literally had to brace myself against a wall to pump in pressure. Not the Nanopresso! Built around a newly patented pumping system, this little gem is capable of reaching, with the help of your hands, a maximum of 18 bars (261 PSI) of stable pressure during extraction. According to their website, that is more than what most home espresso machines can deliver! With the crazy weather and power outages in 2020 – I’ve already used it twice this month at my cottage – it brews a perfect cup with a nice dense crema every time.

Look at that crema!
