Nomad, An Innovative Portable Hand-Pumped Espresso Machine

April 4th - via: laughingsquid.com
Nomad is an innovative portable espresso machine that only requires ground coffee and hot water to work. The machine is pressurized by a low-effort hand pump, eliminating the need for electricity, batteries, or gas cartridges. Novice baristas can rely on the machine’s True Crema Valve to compensate for coarse grinds and variations in tamping pressure. Expert baristas can remove the valve and adjust water pressure, flow rate, and volume. The machine is being developed for production by Southern California-based company Uniterra. They are raising funds for the project on Kickstarter. (Read More)
