Then try the Classic Explorer edition to take you on the journey from smartshot to god-shot.

Locked and Loaded

Fill the portafilter with your freshest espresso grounds, tamp down and lock in place. With the Smartshot edition you don’t even need to tamp and don’t have to use a fine espresso grind. Don’t be shy, it’s a robust piece of kit, built-to-last. 

Just add Hot Water

Whether kitchen boiled, or on a trekking stove, your hot water is cunningly delivered to the heat-insulating glass-composite pressure chamber by simply raising the arms. From here on, it's zero energy consumption – a manual espresso machine leaves electric pumps in a dystopian past.

Raise, then lower

Pulling down the arms applies all the pressure required for true espresso. Expect to feel some resistance, the amount is up to you.
A good shot takes 25 to 30 secs to extract all those lovely oils.

Great for all tastes

Americano, Flat White, Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato… a good double espresso is the foundation for many coffee styles.
Want some frothy milk? Checkout our amazing no-sweat manual frother, and pump out some foam.

No Landfill

Our manual espresso coffee machine has no electric pump or heating element to wear out, requires no descaling or regular maintenance. No wash cycles – just rinse under the tap. No standby power waste. No capsules. And the smallest carbon footprint in its class.

And every improvement we have made over the years have been provided as home-applied upgrade kits that are very popular.
You can see we are a little mad about sustainability, and we find it easy to give a 10 year warranty in stark contrast to the one or two years offered by others.

Made me a tea drinker

I don't especially like tea and I didn't use to drink it. As a result of having this at home, most other coffee feels dull or just wrong, and I started drinking tea when not at home. I have toyed with the idea of carrying it with me to work, as it's really light, but I fear that people will talk, or steal it.

I've only had it for three months and when I bought it I didn't even know what a naked portafilter was. Now I feel I need one. So here's my single complaint: I think it should be coming with a naked portafilter.

I never thought I'd be able to make such good coffee at home without having to spend crazy money, and I feel ridiculous typing this for a piece of metal and plastic, but it's good value for money.
(If you ever make one without any plastic, I will buy it.)

The fact that it doesn't need electricity is a significant advantage and makes it especially versatile. It doesn't look it, but it is very light and easy to carry.

Service was excellent; it arrived within two days, in what felt like very high quality packaging.

Forgot how good it was!

I recently got my Espresso GC out during a power outage. I had been using an electric machine and had limited the use of the Espresso GC for camping trips but since getting it out i realised just how much better the quality is with the extra control of the Espresso GC. It does take some trial and error initially to get the grind, pack and pressure right but once you land on what you prefer it's easy to get a quality outcome consistently.

Wonderful espresso every time. Easy to use, minimal maintenance required and the fact it requires no power / electric source means it can be used anywhere you're able to heat water
