Paris, May 2019

Handpresso: a real success story

The French company Handpresso created the "portable espresso" concept in 2008. In just a few years, Handpresso developed a unique range of robust and elegant manual espresso machines designed to be used in all types of outdoor activities (picnicking, hiking, boating, mountaineering, camping, holidays, etc.). This patented technology enabled Handpresso to launch in 2012 the first car coffee maker connected to the cigarette lighter socket.

There is presently a 12v coffee machine for each of the most popular coffee formats (compatible Nespresso® capsules, soft Senseo® pods, ground coffee, standard espresso pods (ESE). The portable coffee machines’ sleek lines and refined design have earned Handpresso numerous design awards in France and abroad. Thanks to the quality of its products, Handpresso is the leader of portable espresso makers for the car. The company is also gaining recognition in the world of boats, motorhomes and trucks and is collaborating with many car manufacturers.

2019: a new step forward

Handpresso has a new partner now: G7 Premium Club, France's leading taxi company. The 100 drivers of the G7 Premium Club are being equipped with a full case containing the Handpresso Auto Capsule espresso machine. The Premium Handpresso Auto Capsule Set has been specially designed for a professional use adapted to the taxi business. It allows G7 Premium Club drivers to offer their customers a quality espresso during their taxi ride.
