Cafflano® Kompresso is the world’s most compact and the lightest authentic espresso maker. It is 178g weight (0.39lb) and compact (10cm x 18cm), but outperforming all existing portable espresso gears in the market. It consistently delivers over 9-bar of pressure while extracting espresso, which is known to be the magic number for espresso.
Most portable espresso makers in the market use manual pneumatic compression (air-pump type compression), that, in many cases, is not able to retain the necessary high-pressure throughout the whole extraction process that takes around 25 to 30 seconds. Typical pneumatic compression uses air (or gas in some cases) that can be compressed easily and causes delays while transmitting power or force. In case of manual pneumatic compression, the air pressure can easily go down as it relies on a manual pump.
How does Cafflano® Kompresso work?
It uses a hydraulic compression combined with Pascal’s Principle to boost the extraction force. This hydraulic compression uses liquid (hot water in this case) that is not so much compressible, thus, no delay in transmitting power, helps Cafflano® Kompresso retain high-pressure over 9 bars consistently until espresso is fully extracted. In addition, Cafflano® Kompresso’s unique compression design (using both pressing and pulling handles-pressing & squeezing simultaneously) maximizes the weight-force when extracting espresso, so any coffee lover can easily extract authentic espresso.
Cafflano® Kompresso is the combination of the two words, ‘Compress’ and ‘Espresso’.
