Flat White Espresso with Presso

greg — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:23:05 +0000

Making a flat white (latte) with the Presso is pretty darn easy. It’s a bit upside down compared to how a barista would do it with a conventional espresso machine but you get a very similar result. With the presso you heat up your milk first and to get a nice frothy head you simply use the hand milk frother that comes with the presso. Once you have your cup filled and frothed place it under your presso and pull your desired shot into the cup. Voila you are ready to go. One handy tip if you like to use a microwave is to heat up you milk for about one minute and then froth. If you are making more then one simply add 1 minute for each cup you have in the microwave.

Presso Child’s Play

Using the Presso is a bit like having a play with a new toy. The only thing different is that unlike typical new “plastic” toys once they break you have to chuck them in the bin. Not the Presso: if you happen to break it or in time wear out one of the parts you can easily repair it with replacement parts. Pictured below is Moe (9 years old) pulling a lovely shot for her Dad with their presso (photo by Jon Sturge).

Please don’t violate child labour laws and if you are going to teach your children how to use the presso be sure to supervise them so they don’t get hurt and to make sure you get a great tasting result.

A few months ago we got an email from an exciting start up venture in the United States. Our mate Jason who helped us get Presso off the ground in Australia has taken on distributing and promoting Presso in the States with his partner Amanda are doing a great job juicing up Coffee enthusiasts in America. Love the simplicity of this presso demo video.

Presso Tips-It’s easy after some practice

greg — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:30:07 +0000

Getting a great espresso from your Presso is easy. Just like doing anything well it’s easy after plenty of practice. To get the most out of your presso you need to start with great coffee. That coffee is ideally in whole bean and you grind it yourself just before you make your espresso. Your grind is critical. If you get it right you are all set. Get it wrong and well lots can go wrong. If the grind is too fine you will have to press and press on your presso to squeeze out the water. If the grind is to coarse you will end up with a very very weak mug of black water.

Please drop us a line for some presso tips and tricks to get the most out of your presso.
