    True, but steam pressurised espresso is still a long way off 15bar machine pressure.

    Here is a link to a review of the Pressi...
    Mypressi TWIST - Second Look - Reviews • Home-Barista.com

    I have found ours to be a bit temperamental at times. It tends to be very sensitive to getting just the right amount of tamping of the grounds. Too much compaction and nothing happens. You also have to be super careful when cleaning it that none of the gazillion rubber seals falls out. Then again, Land Rover owners should be used to a bit of technical idiosyncracy.

    But as I said, the result is as good as a benchtop machine, and in the middle of nowhere that is a bizarre but welcome thing.

    Well yes, that is obvious, but I would rather take a simple moka pot than co2 cylinders and temperamental operation out on the road, surely you have a back-up?!

    you must drive a Disco or a Freelander to enjoy it that much

    Sounds like a Range Rover. CO2 cylinders, now that is serious appreciation of the coffee making method.

    Solmanic,

    How many coffees can you make on a cylinder? Can you clean the machine while a cylinder is still in use? I'll have a read of the review to find out more.

    Had a read of the review and the Mypressi TWISTis on ebay for ~$190.

    Ha! I nearly spilled my latte. Actually I now drive a G-Wagen, so you are most astute. Having said that, when you are a true coffee tragic you will go to any extreme to ensure you have a quality brew. My backup is to drive X00km to the nearest shop.

    One gas cartridge generally does either 8 single shots (two at a time) or 4 doubles. You can clean everything in between shots because the cartridge is sealed up inside the handle. The water reservoir lid even has little notches around the edge so you can keep track of how many shots you have pulled.

    We use the Mukka express as well, I love the tinkering with the water, grinds and milk before brewing it up. It's the theatre of it all then producing a cappuccino in the middle of nowhere. It also comes out of the camping kit for the misses of a morning at home. I've mastered the coffee machine at work before the bar staff arrive.

    Agree. The coffee making ritual is a very Zen moment in the day.

    A mate has a 2-cup espresso maker on his boat and I have always been meaning to buy one. Full stainless steel with a pressure guage, knob for the espresso and even a separate steamer.

    Similar to this:

    That looks tops Ben, just needs a decent 12v/hand grinder and you'd be done.

    At work I use a french press and Illy pre-ground beans, cheap enough and fast enough (being a long black drinking makes life easier too :P ) Ive tried the french press while camping a few times but find the glass a little too fragile, I did manage to find some stainless beaker type french press's but settled on a moka pot or whatever you call it, the Italian stove top espresso maker, again I use Illy pre ground beans (at work i don't want to make too much noise, and camping its not worth grinding while int he bush!) put it over some coals or on the gas cooker and nice espresso pretty fast. my choice for camping form now on, but the french press will always be my choice for work [at home its french press or nespresso machine] (best of all they can be had for around $10 so if they get a bit scorched int he fire who cares)
