MyPressi TWIST Portable Espresso Maker 2.0 |
While we felt the first edition of this portable espresso maker was sturdy, Espressi has raised the bar and strengthened several components of the MyPressi TWIST in this updated version. Everything from tightening the fit between the lower bowl and frame to increasing the trigger strength, we are even more confident in the durability of this travel-ready machine. Still containing the flexibility found in the 1.0 version, the MyPressi TWIST 2.0 still holds many of the features we found useful in the original model, including the ability to use the regular basket for espresso fine-grind, the pressurized basket for course-grind, or ESE pod baskets to produce your ideal shots, even on-the-go. The key to the best shot with this traveler is to make sure all the components are warmed up properly, enabling you to pull a shot rivaling even that of a home espresso machine.

Crew Review
Pros
- Portable - Arguably the biggest reason you want to get this item, the TWIST 2.0 produces delicious espresso on the go, using an innovative cartridge-based pressure system
- Metal Design - Since you don't have a big machine to back you up, consistent temperature is difficult to achieve with some portable espresso makers. This one incorporates a love of metal that you can effectively pre-heat to maintain even temperature throughout the extraction
|
Cons
- Heavy - Because of its relatively excellent temperature regulation, the heavy metallic components of the TWIST 2.0 do make it a formidable opponent
- Cartridge Portability - We haven't been able to get firm confirmation that you can either check or carry on these cartridges if you're flying, but we have heard they're easy to source at specific locations. Be prepared to find your cartridges at your destination if you aren't roadtripping

How it Works
Utilizing a compressed gas cartridge (nitrous oxide) the TWIST 2.0 extracts using either regular espresso grind, pods or a coarse/variable grind with a pressurized basket. Basket operation includes:
- Insert one N2O cartridge into the handle and seal shut
- Pre-heat all the components -- soak your chosen basket, fill the water reservoir and your glass(es) with boiling water
- Dry the basket and put in the coffee of your choice -- tamp if necessary
- If necessary, bring water to a hard boil again
- Empty all pre-heated components and twist reservoir into place
- Fill reservoir with hot water and seal lid
- Pull trigger in handle and watch your extraction begin!

Care
Clean the TWIST 2.0 thoroughly after each use and make sure all the components are thoroughly dry before putting them back together.
