"For the price of two lattes that I would buy out in a cafe, that I could buy a whole pound or more espresso beans and make my own. I'm giving up having a latte in a cafe and I've been craving that this gives me the ability to make a good latte."

"You could take this anywhere you want as long as you have capsules, you put it in there, pour some water, even cold water could get you a cup of creamy espresso. "

The espresso extraction rate could range from 18 to 22%, meeting the gold cup standard with little effort.
Staresso Mini has a pressurized filter basket with a valve, meaning the pressure builds as you plunge. Once it attains the 15-20 bar pressure, the valve releases the coffee and extracts the oil and flavor from the puck.
Because the pressure is high, you can use the Staresso Mini to make either espresso with hot water or cold brew coffee with iced water.
Coffee Grounds:
1. Fill the filter basket with grounds
2. Tamp with the spoon or plunger
Coffee Capsules:
1. Place upside down the coffee capsules on the filter basket
2. Assemble the machine, then the needle would puncture the capsules
Compatible brand: Nespresso, Nespressp, Lor, Peets, Lavazz, Kimbo. Coffee pod 5-6g.
Incompatible brand: K-cup, Dolce Gusto, Illy.
Yes, even with room temperature liquid could brew rich crema coffee relying on the high pressure here. Besides, you could also creatively try using soda water, sprite, tea, etc. to extract. But surely extracting with hot water tastes the best.
Yes, Staresso Mini is extremely user-friendly. It takes less than one minute to make coffee. Also, it won't require much strength due to the vertical pressing design.
Definitely, we are greatly concerned about the material. Most Aluminium Moka Pot oxidize easily and some coffee makers are too plastics.
Here, the external is made of BPA-free silicone material for anti-skidding & heat protection, while the internal is made of sturdy stainless steel for supporting high pressure & preventing oxidation.
