Caffeinated on the go, the Handpresso Auto is one gadget for the commuter looking to get his or her espresso fix. This espresso maker is compatible with a standard 12-volt car socket. Users plug in their Handpresso Auto, add the required amount of water (it alerts you when its full) and slip in an ESE pod of their choice. The espresso maker takes about two minutes to heat the drink and will beep three times when it is ready. Next, the user just has to flip the Handpresso Auto upside down and press the ‘brew’ button on the side to pour the espresso into his or her cup. The device is the size of a travel mug and fits in most cup holders.
