The handcrafted style of coffee may be new to many of you. It’s a form of coffee brewing that gives the user control, eliminating many of the constraints of the average home coffee maker.

For some, those constraints are mobility. A mobile coffee brewer like the KOHIPRESS lets us take coffee out into the world.
