The Nomad is a top quality café espresso maker. Inspired by the classic hand operated lever machines, the Nomad's Micro-Lever architecture eliminates the need for electricity, batteries, or gas propellants, bringing the enjoyment of great espresso to places only bound by the imagination. At home it replaces complicated and expensive espresso machines that occupy precious counter space. The small size and weight lets you bring your coffee habit with you to your office or wherever you travel. Its proprietary True Crema Valve compensates for coffee grounds and tamping variations so anyone can make great espresso with confidence, time after time. Even off-the-shelf ground coffee and uneven grinds from whirling blade grinders produce great results. You will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to pull a top notch espresso shot with the Nomad, even if you have never used an espresso machine before.
