It’s capable of generating 16 bar of pressure with a handpump. Put some hot water in the reservoir, place an E.S.E. Espresso pod in the chamber and release the switch. The pressure chamber forces the hot water through the coffee, creating a perfect little demitasse of rich black goodness.

Props to Spachi for the info and ThinkGeek for the product.
