Handpresso SARL is a French manufacturer of portable espresso machines. In 2006, the handpresso SARL was founded in Fontainebleau by Henrik Nielsen. Nielsen established handpresso SARL as a derivative of Nielsen Innovation SARL. Handpresso WILD ESE was [1] the first handheld espresso maker and it is sold in 25 countries. The first Handpresso machines were designed for E.S.E. coffee pods.[2] Handpresso WILD ESE is of Danish design.
In 2008, Handpresso won seven international design prizes, including IF[3] and Formland.[4]
In 2012, the company launched the "Handpresso Auto", an espresso machine for the car.[5]
In 2013, the Handpresso Wild Hybrid achieved the "National Geographic's Gear of the Year" award.[6]
Technology
The Handpresso Wild works by pumping the Handpresso unit up to 16 bar pressure.[7] Hot water is then added from a kettle or a thermo flask to the 50 ml reservoir, and an E.S.E. pod or Domepod (ground coffee) inserted before serving the coffee at the push of a button. The infusion is stopped by pushing the button back. During the infusion the pressure drops in from 11 to 8 bar pressure.
The temperature of the water is very important for the final result. When freshly boiled water from a kettle is used, the water temperature is about 203 °F (95 °C) when it gets in contact with the coffee. The water from a thermo flask is usually cooler, but temperatures down to 176 °F (80 °C) still gives an acceptable result with most coffees.
Handpresso has filed several international patents.
