Handpresso Auto: An Espresso Machine in your Car
Wouldn’t it be great to have an espresso machine in your car? If you’re someone who’s always late for work, but you need caffeine to get through the day, a Handpresso Auto might make your mornings so much better.
What is the Handpresso Auto?
Handpresso Auto is an automatic espresso machine that can make a high quality espresso for you while you’re waiting in traffic. This French invention sits inside the car’s cup holder. All you have to do is plug the machine into the 12v cigarette lighter socket, add water and an espresso pod, and press the start button. The machine takes two machines to finish making your espresso. When it beeps three times, you know your espresso is done and ready to be enjoyed!
The Pros
An espresso machine right inside your car is a huge convenience if you commute to work in the morning and don’t have time to make your own coffee or pick up a cup from the café. You can also drive to a scenic mountaintop and have a hot espresso with a nice view in two minutes.
The Handpresso Auto has a simple and easy to use design so you won’t be fumbling around with any buttons before you pull out of your driveway. It also fits right inside the cup holder, so the machine won’t accidentally fall over when you make a turn.
The Handpresso Auto can even sit on your kitchen counter or at your office desk, so you can use the same device anywhere instead of buying multiple machines.
This is a far-fetched scenario, but if you’re pulled over by a police officer, offering them a high quality espresso may just get you off with a warning.
The Cons
You’ll have to pull into a parking lot to drink your espresso, which isn’t ideal for anyone who is running into the office. An alternative would be to just bring the espresso machine with you to your desk, so you can have your high quality espresso while you’re on break.
The price of the machine is €149.00. If you’re always running late, this may be a good investment.
Because this machine uses espresso pods, you’ll be limited to the variety of flavors the Handpresso company has up for sale on their website. The least expensive box of espresso pods is € 6.50 and the most expensive box of pods is € 79.50.
