Saeco - Incanto Auto Espresso Machine

Yes / No / Maybe?

Seems like a good deal...

Looking for a decent bean to cup machine - mainly for straight up black coffee and cuppachinos.

 

Also keen to know. Anyone?

Thx for sharing. The review makes it look pretty decent.

Anyone have experience with a 'Handpresso' machine for a go-anywhere-have-an-espresso solution? Wondering if they're any good.

Seems to make sense that you pump it to pressure first.

PS. Would be even handier if it could double as a shock pump on bikepacking trips

Was never temperature stable and developed a leak quite quickly - binned it as not useful - rather get an aeropress.

Agree with V12.. 

 

Aeropress and a decent grinder

 

Also a metal disc filter makes a big different.

The aeropress is unbeatable both in value/price and the coffee they produce. From all reports the handpresso is unfortunately a gimmick, they may work a few times but after a while they become a pita or just plain useless.

 

Don't go cheap on the grinder, it's like flushing money down the toilet.

Upgraded our mobile coffee setup.. we had a great 2 group but this can run on gas...

Completely agree, there is also an add on for the asropress that lets you use it to make espresso, works well, tried it the other day, a little pricey though.

this is personal preference, but I recon that machine would look so smart with wood instead of the red and white panels

How much do you think an Expobar coffee machine and grinder is worth second hand?

That is a good deal - you won't struggle to practice on that machine.1

[SpruitCommuter]

I'm not sure if you're set on the automatic version, but I saw there is a manual version on Gumtree (https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-store-catering-equipment/benoni/expobar-coffee-machine/1002386733160911340035609) for 11k.
