Nanopresso
My office has an all-in-one coffee machine which grinds beans, brews espresso, and optionally adds milk or water(yuck) to your preference.
I like coffee, so during my final interview with my Hiring Manager (shout out Amlan) there, I was excited at the sight of a wonderful espresso machine which would dull the pain of having to work from office.
The coffee, it turns out, is not that great, because most people have coffee with milk and a bunch of sugar, so it doesn't really matter if your beans are a bit stale or a bit too dark to taste good without any sweetener.
I'd have loved to have espresso at home with fresh beans of my choosing, but getting one is a big commitment, and my existing coffee equipment (an aeropress, a french press, and a couple grinders) take up too much space already.
My wonderful partner got me a Wacoco Nanopresso for Valentine's day. I never got it for myself because I was worried that it would not taste as good as an actual espresso (I'd been burned by an attachment for my aeropress that purported to make espresso but did nothing of the sort and cost almost as much as the aeropress itself), but hoo boy was I wrong.
It tastes great! My beans are fresh, I grind them minutes before brewing, and the water at my house tastes good to me, and so the coffee turns out delightful. It does not even take that much effort to pump the water out through the basket of ground coffee, (about 40, and there’s no strength involved) and the crema looks wonderful.
It’s a hearty recommendation if you like espresso. Beats going to an overpriced café.
