Mitch from Press Coffee gives us a personal demonstration of their new Trifecta Brewing system, which is a brand new machine. Press Coffee has the first one in the state that is in a coffee shop. So watch the video! The sales rep for Bunn was on hand at the time, and I asked him what they sell for. He indicated that a coffee roaster could get one for $2,499 but the street price is double that (I seriously don’t get that… why not just have one price?). It’s a very simple machine, with a sturdy aluminum construction weighing 49 lbs. Visually, it isn’t the most amazing looking machine, but it reminds me of the Super Soaker… simple design without a lot of flashy parts. In that manner, it is very much different than the Clover. If you visit Press Coffee, you should ask for a cup. It’s really nice and is making some very good coffee. I tried two of their coffees: a Sudamo and a Peruvian and both were excellent. Very smooth. And unlike a french press there is no “grounds” at the bottom of the cup. Press Coffee Food Wine 5410 E. High St. Suite 115 Phoenix, AZ 85054 Phone: (480) 419-6221 Twitter: @PressCoffee
Chris Tingom Oh I forgot to mention: Bunn’s rep said they’re working on a in-home model for consumers, but he didn’t sound like that was coming any time soon. 0 Reply June 9, 2010
Psyd Thank you for the simple, hype-free demo and description of what the machine does. 0 Reply June 14, 2010
Todd I had a chance to visit Press yesterday and try some coffee from this machine. It was superb – full of flavor and body but without the thick crud usually left after a standard press pot cup of coffee. I’d rate the taste somewhere between a chemex and a press pot. Good stuff! 0 Reply June 21, 2010
Chris Tingom Todd — I’d agree with you. It’s like a french press but without the thick crud. 0 Reply June 21, 2010
