Camping Espresso Review

Some people may say this is a luxury – but frankly there is nothing worse than waking up in a cold tent on a cold morning to be greeted by instant coffee or stale tea. The easy way to solve this problem? A camping espresso machine of course! Perfect for that first thing wake-me-up.

GSI actually make a good range of coffee makers – this one is the GSI Outdoors Mini Espresso kit which you can still buy from places like Amazon or Millets on the high street and is definately the closest you’re going to get to ‘real’ espresso on the road. Whilst some people may argue this is not real espresso it does meet the criteria as set out on wikipedia (so it must be true).

Caffè espresso or simply espresso is a concentrated beverage brewed by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee.

Here’s a quick video of the mini espresso machine working.
