Now, an espresso machine for your car

London, Mar 31 (ANI): A Danish innovator has designed the first ever espresso machine for a car so that drivers can grab a quick coffee while they are on the move.

The portable device, aptly named the Handpresso Auto Mobile, went on sale in France last month for 124 pounds and has already been a huge hit around the world, the Daily Mail reported.

The concept was designed by self-confessed coffee addict Henrik Neilson, who died three months ago.

He came up with the original concept after not being able to drink a decent cup of coffee in a hotel room.

"I love espresso. The good one, the real one," he had said.

"I'm a coffee addict and I travel a lot. I was once in a very exclusive hotel. As I couldn't drink a decent coffee in my room, I started to think of a portable espresso machine I could bring wherever I wanted," he added.

Users simply fill it with water, add a pod of coffee, plug into the cigarette lighter and wait two minutes for an instant caffeine fix.

The device isn't as basic as one would imagine either, with water pumping through at 16 bars of pressure, this is seven bars more than the minimum needed.

But while this gadget could prove invaluable for those who must endure long journeys in their cars, the manufacturer has pointed out that anyone using the Handpresso must be sure to stop the car before pouring the coffee. (ANI)
