Travel Gear: Portable espresso-making, stashable gloves and sounds for your bike

Handpresso Pump Pro The Handpresso has been here before, but it has a new poppier, coloured version. In fact, a range of them. The mechanism is pretty much the same in this new sporty model as the original black and silver portable one. Ramp up the pressure with the handle like you would a bicycle pump to about 16 bar, no batteries or power needed. Add hot water in the top reservoir and stick in your ground coffee or ESE pod. Twixt on the cap again and you're ready to get all barista, on land or sea. €79 from handpresso.com
