Mypressi Twist Portable Espresso Maker – Reviews

I loved the design and was intrigued by the rave reviews so I decided to give the TWIST a shot – no pun intended. It’s elegant and even better than it looks on the web. The box it comes in is very well done and inviting – like opening a package from Apple. I rushed to pull my first shot and didn’t bother to read the instructions. Coffee poured out really fast, was weak and slightly ran over the sides. That’s when I decided to carefully read the illustrated instructions. The coffee I had used was too coarse for the basket. I changed to the pressurized basket, pre-heated the water bowl, added very hot water, pulled the trigger and … voila! Simply THE best shot of espresso I have ever tasted. The crema is remarkable, you can smell and taste the oils in the bean and it brings out flavors I had only read about until now. I highly recommend it! Make sure you read the simple and well-written instructions. The buzz is fully justified – this is an incredible machine! Enjoy!

Supposedly one can have it good, have it fast, and have it cheap – pick any two. However, I think we may have an exception on our hands with the Mypressi Twist. I’ve had my eye on this since it was initially announced a while back, and finally splurged and got it as a birthday present for myself

A couple minor quibbles aside, the build quality on this thing is phenomenal. Heavy chrome plated copper makes up the majority of the construction, just like on a nice espresso machine. All of the pieces exude quality and fit together very well, except for the cap that hold the nitrous cartridge in (the metal parts don’t quite line up when screwed all the way on) and the lower hemisphere (it’s made entirely of plastic, except for the spout, and fits a bit loosely). I don’t ever use the lower part anyway, so it’s not that big a deal. Mypressi includes a spare set of o rings, a few baskets to choose from, and 4 nitrous cartridges to get your espresso on right away.

Performs as advertised. Water temperature and grind sensitive. Descent crema. For European purchasers beware of the recharge cartriges. Not all brands work due to length differences and cap ends. I found the ISI brand name (made in Austria) works well. A bit of cotton wool at the end of the screw part of the handle compensates well for the few milimeters difference. If not the gaz will eventually leak out and after a couple of hours there will be no pressure.

Once I realized that the small o-ring fell out (wasted 3 cartridges trying to figure out what was wrong) I was able to pull some very nice shots from this machine. It is a very clever design and from what I can tell the cheapest, easiest way to make true espresso.
I soak the unit in boiling water while I am grinding and dosing and I have no temperature issues (that I can taste in the shot anyway). It would be nice to make the o-ring a little more secure and it would also be nice to have some kind of way to tell how much pressure is left in a cartridge. Those are the only drawbacks I have experienced with the mypressi.
