Overview
The Cafflano Kompresso is a manual portable espresso device that achieves genuine 9-bar extraction pressure through an ingenious hydraulic press mechanism that amplifies hand force. The key innovation is the weighted extraction system with a visual pressure indicator — the transparent chamber shows a line at the target pressure level, allowing users to maintain consistent extraction force throughout the shot. The 58mm basket accepts standard espresso grinds and produces shots with real crema. The device weighs under 400 grams and packs into a form factor slightly larger than a coffee mug. All components are food-grade stainless steel and BPA-free materials rated for boiling water. The Kompresso requires no electricity, batteries, or gas cartridges — just quality grounds and hot water. Assembly is tool-free and cleanup requires only a water rinse. The Cafflano Kompresso targets the growing market of coffee enthusiasts who want genuine espresso capability in an ultra-portable, durable format for travel, camping, office use, and anywhere a traditional machine cannot go.
The Cafflano Kompresso comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a none boiler system made of stainless steel. The manual lever pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.
Priced at $89, the Cafflano Kompresso is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a manual/portable machine, it offers ultimate control and portability, making great espresso possible anywhere.
In terms of build quality, the Cafflano Kompresso is a substantial machine, weighing in at 0.4 kg, manufactured in South Korea. With dimensions of 67 x 67 x 150 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 80 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
