I know I’m not the only one who can’t get up and go without a cup of coffee…or two or three, some mornings. Coffee pots don’t really take up that much power if you just use them in the morning, but how many of us leave them on all day, especially at the office? 
Well, while it’s not a standard coffee pot, there is now a way we can save a bit of power and make our own espressos at home, something that is really cool.
This electricity-free Presso espresso machine offered online needs absolutely no power. Instead, the device needs only your muscles and a bit of hot water to do the trick.
How does it work? First, you get some fresh water and some coffee grounds made for espresso machines (beans made for standard pots may be too large or too small). Fill the cylinder up with hot water. Then start squeezing the arms down until the espresso is out. Tap down the grounds, fill it up with hot water, raise up the handles again, and let it sit for about 30 seconds. Then push down the handles again and hold them. After all the water has been trained out, you’ve got your espresso. That’s all there is to it.
The Presso is available worldwide through Presso’s website. It’s $140 plus shipping.

Yummmm espresso. This does seem a lot of work for a tiny espresso…but I guess it will make cutting the caffeine addiction easier and it is really awesome that no electricity is involved.
