mypressi TWIST

Submitted by Peter on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 15:28

What does everyone think about the mypressi TWIST? It's a cool concept and I've heard that it works surprisingly well. Does anyone here have one and/or know what limitations and shortcomings it has?

Thanks

Thanks to Chris Heiniger for coming to the Prima-Coffee Headquarters and training us in proper mypressi TWIST techniques. I really enjoyed pulling my first shot (even though I tamped it lopsided).

I have read a LOT of reviews online about the TWIST and have heard much of the same but there is still that sense of "I must try this before I can really agree." I am by no means an espresso expert (probably not even a novice), but at the Barista Bash, I had one of the sweetest shots of espresso I have ever tasted. Either Kane (or Cain?? Sorry if I misspelled your name) quickly dumped a bucket of sugar into the TWIST at one of the moments when I blinked, or the TWIST is an exceptional hand-held machine...

I hope I am just the first of many people who will be able to testify to the capabilities of this awesome hand-held device. I got one of these at the competition on friday and was blown away by the extraction and fullness of flavor from shots pulled by the twist. It makes me think that all extraction should be done by nitrogen instead of pump power. I want to build a full scale shop machine that is powered by huge nitrogen tanks instead of pump-forced water. After getting used to the twist (which takes five or six shots) it has yielded consistently some of the best tasting espresso I've had. I think that my shop's espresso tastes better from the twist than from our LaMarzocco Linea.

Bonus to the performance elements are how good it looks, how small the device is, and how solid it feels in the hand. There are only a few movable parts and it feels like this thing could go through a lot of beatings before it would break. I plan on taking this everywhere I go that has hot water and a grinder.

seriously, i cannot recommend it strongly enough.

With a couple of videos as well. I've been thinking about getting one but it is a little pricey...

Suuhweeet!

I really want one of these things! Here's the link for those who haven't seen it yet: http://shop.mypressi.com/product_p/mt0901c.htm I'd be really interested to know how the exact mechanism works.

It can be difficult in the world of specialty coffee to find a brewer that not only looks fantastic but also produces a fantastic product. Eva Solo has done an exceptional job of combining both elements into the Cafe Solo. The Solo seems a little strange upon first glance for the very reason that it may be the first coffee brewer of its kind: one that is clothed. The designers at Eva Solo had the ingenious idea of using the same material that keeps divers warm (neoprene) and wrapping it around the glass carafe... thus keeping the coffee hot during the 4 minute brewing period.

Not only are its looks something to take seriously, but the Solo's coffee is not to be underestimated. Because of its use of "total immersion" brewing (similar to that of a french press), the grounds are evenly and completely submersed in water. This provides extraction that is difficult to achieve by other methods of brewing. It is advisable, however, that once the 4 minutes of extraction is complete, the coffee should be immediately served or transferred into a thermal pot (we recommend one of the Zojirushi carafes). This will prevent over-extraction from taking place which results in a bitter tasting coffee.

The Cafe Solo is unquestionably a unique and exceptional specialty coffee manual brewer. Because of its simple usability and superior design, the Cafe Solo is a force to be reckoned with in the specialty coffee world.

Hario's stainless steel water kettle, the V60 Buono, has been spotted popping up in coffee houses and the kitchens of baristas for some time now. A detailed search on the web will reveal, for the moment at least, that the Buono seems to be widely accepted as the most useful pouring kettle available. What makes this kettle so popular amongst pour-over enthusiasts? Several reasons stand out.

First, the thin pouring spout enables greater pouring precision as well as a slower, more consistent and controlled rate of pour, both of which are very helpful in achieving a precise, prolonged extraction.
Second, the stainless steel construction and large 1 liter capacity contribute toward keeping up the brew temperature for the duration of the entire brew cycle.
Third, the ergonomics involved in the design of the kettle help to make using it much easier. This may not seem like much, but if you're brewing large batches of coffee and pouring for three or more minutes per batch, doing several batches of coffee will quickly become a chore if your kettle doesn't cooperate with you.

Combine all of these facets with the fact that the Buono is manufactured by Hario, a very popular name in the coffee-brewing community, and the kettle's popularity is easily understood. For best results, combine the Buono with a V60 Dripper or Chemex to get a truly exceptional cup of coffee.
