The Mypressi is very well made and feels solid. It's evident that care was taken during design- all pieces fit together nicely and seams line up providing a nice presentation. The instructions provided are clear and simple.
From the time it took to unpack the Mypressi to my first double espresso being pulled was about 2 minutes including the 25 second pull time. Disassembly was equally quick and easy. The clean up was minimal and the Mypressi could easily be used during a hectic morning or on the go.
Three baskets were provided, I learned that the "pressurized basket" works best with espresso ground using the machine at the grocery store. The grounds didn't quite get fine enough to use the "standard basket." Luckily the instructions have a well laid out FAQ for situations like this. The water bowl has a very good marking inside of it so there's no guess work involved when adding water for a single or double shot.
The espresso produced was very impressive. To put it simply, my local coffee shop just lost a customer.
Every aspect of this product makes sense and its really clear that the inventors thought it through. Overall, the Mypressi far exceeded my expectations. It's well made, simple to use, and makes really good espresso! I have only made 5 shots so far, but they all come out very nice. I use Lavazza "il perfetto espresso" from [...], which (in quantity) costs about 1/3 of what I used to pay for the illy at WholeFoods.
In reply to Francesco Fato: I think there is no point in preheating the lower hemisphere because the plastic has a low heat capacity and never holds the brew. But you may as well go naked and remove it as suggested by "Reflex". Today I used the pressurized cup without the lower hemisphere and had it squirt directly into the pre-heated milk. That created a great froth for my latte.
I wonder when people will stop using their big and noisy machines in favor of the mypressi.
The cartridges cost between $0.50 and $1 a piece depending on quantity etc.
