Unusual Coffee Makers - The Presso vs. the Atomic
Published on Aug 09, 2010
Looking for a special gift or Christmas present for the coffee lover in your family but not sure which to choose? Two of our most unusual and popular Coffee makers are The Presso and The Atomic. Both excellent coffee makers in their own right, but how do you know which one to choose? Thanks to its ease of use, The Sunday Times voted The Presso their Coffee Gadget of the Month but don’t rule out the Atomic just yet.
The Presso, an award-winning non-electric coffee maker, is perfect for producing Espressos, Americanos, Cappuccinos and Lattes in your home or office. However, The Atomic unique design means it can create such a great amount of pressure, the closest you can get to a stove-top espresso machine. Just what you need to create the tastiest cup of coffee!
The Atomic was originally designed in 1947 and is the perfect gift if you want to offer someone their own little slice of history. Its 1950’s design has earned the coffee maker a permanent place at the Science Museum.
If you like your coffee on the go, The Presso is an excellent choice. To make the perfect cup of coffee, you simply add the ground coffee, pour boiling water in the top, lift up the handles and then press down. There’s hardly any mess either, all you need to do is rinse the porta-filter under the tap! It’s also really easy to make your drink just the way you like it.
The Presso comes with the Presso Milk Frother to help make those perfect cappuccinos. However, The Atomic comes with the built in ability to quickly froth and heat milk for delicious lattes. It can be used on any stove-top and even on a barbecue or fire making it one of the most eco-friendly coffee making machine in the world.
While The Atomic is priced at £279.00, and The Presso coffee maker is at a much more reasonable £74.90, don’t let the cost of either make your decision, both coffee makers are worth every penny and can make the perfect gift for that special someone.
