The Cafflano Kompresso portable espresso maker is the brain child of Korean coffee lover, Hangsan Yoon. Hangsan decided that he didn’t want to pay for expensive coffee from coffee shops orsplash out on a big complex machine. So, instead, he created this cheap, portable device. If you’re curious about manual espresso, I suggest you give this a go. This tool provides many of hours of fun as well as tasty shots.

Get a quality grinder: Once you have good, freshly roasted beans you need to grind them. You'll want a burr grinder, which grinds your beans evenly rather than chopping them like a blade grinder. See our guide to coffee grinders to find the perfect one for you. Despite weighing in at 7 pounds, this machine is easy to carry due to its foldable design and carry case. The only thing I can be a little bit worried about is the rubber ring sitting on the shower screen. A little bit of misalignment and I fear that an accident could happen. Hopefully, (like with the Aeropress) it’s easy and cheap to get a replacement. Korean coffee lover, Hangsan Yoon, was fed up with paying expensive coffee store prices.

To look at, the Cafflano Kompresso is a bit odd-looking. With the big plunger and the coffee basket, it won’t be winning any awards for being beautiful.

This meansyou’ll either need to carry your coffee grounds with you or have a portable manual grinder in your bagtoo. We used 15g of finely ground coffee aiming to get a yield of 30g of espresso. This is the 1:2 ratio that we prefer for our espresso shots. We actually used a coffee scale to make sure we got this exactly right but after 10-15 shots I could probably just eyeball it to be honest.
