• Fill filter basket with grounds or capsules

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.

We recommend using Medium-Fine grind size coffee grounds to brew. The Medium-Fine grind size is a staple grind size, with texture like table salt.

Fine grind size is acceptable, but not recommended, since it tends to be hard to press and clean.

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.
