Review on ☕ STARESSO Portable Espresso Maker - BPA-Free Mini Espresso Machine for Rich & Thick Crema - Manual Espresso, Ground Coffee Compatible - Compact Travel Coffee Maker by Mike Davis

I ordered this Staresso portable espresso maker based on the reviews and how it works by pressing down instead of using my thumb and squeezing like those other brand. But I was a little apprehensive about some of the reviews. I ordered it yesterday, received it this evening and made an espresso martini espresso out of it. It worked great! It was easy to use, easy to clean and made a great espresso which I tried myself (before chilling it and putting it in a martini shaker) as some reviews said it made an inferior espresso. As far as I know, the strength of the espresso depends on the coffee used. I used Peets Organic French Roast to grind my espresso and thought the shot was excellent! Just like Peets or Starbucks or any coffee shop that can make espresso. I have some issues with my hands, strength and aches and such, and it was easy to use and didn't compound any pain or frustration trying to unscrew and unscrew parts of it. And pushing the plunger was so easy and quick, and to my great amazement I had a shot of espresso! I couldn't believe it was so easy and quick. I don't know about the other people having problems and bad espresso but I'm glad I bought it despite these reviews. Tomorrow I'll try to make an espresso for red-eyed bulletproof coffee and foamy cream. And now my espresso needs to be chilled enough to shake a martini! Hooray! Just do it! A few days later, after a few uses, the espresso process I still find good, but the frothing of the milk is not comfortable for me. too many fingers pressing down the action for me. I use the Frothy frothing stick after heating the cream for this part, then pour it onto my Red Eye Keto Coffee to make a wonderful coffee drink! For hot espresso I preheat the machine by running boiled water through it before adding the espresso and for cold espresso I use it at room temperature. Then place the shot in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to chill. Enjoy!
