The smallest espresso machine in the world

World's first handheld espresso machine

"McLeod Press" is a coffee appliance launched by American Espressi Company in 2009. Small, stylish, and convenient for use anywhere at home, the office, or on the road, powered by a revolutionary pneumatic engine that doesn't rely on external electricity, aluminum frame handles, and a medical-grade polycarbonate casing that weighs just 16 ounces (450 or so), it lets you make rich, smooth, sweet espresso coffee anytime, anywhere, and tastes like a thousand-dollar espresso machine. Wine Spectator commented: "Compared to other handheld and reverse top coffee makers we use, it makes the best espresso." Imbibe praised it: "it can make surprising, delicious coffee with floating fat on top." Coffeegeek.com Prince) is even more convinced: "It is indeed the first portable coffee machine that can actually make espresso." The American Specialty Coffee Association awarded it the Best New Product of the Year award for 2009-2010.
