Motorists could save more than £1,800 a year in coffee shop bills and up to an hour and a half in time spent lounging in coffee shops*, according to car maker SEAT. So the real question is, how to make coffee inside your car to save that time!
A Handpresso coffee-making device will fit neatly into the twin cup holders between the front seats in any SEAT model and dispenses 50ml of hot, fresh espresso per use in under three minutes.
Two in five British motorists say they drink coffee while driving ***. With the cost of using the Handpresso machine over 12 months estimated at £405, it could represent a significant savings on the £2,210 spent per year by the nation’s increasing number of coffee connoisseurs*.
And with official advice for drivers of long journeys suggesting they take a break every two hours and drink two cups of coffee**, the in-car espresso maker could provide a refreshing boost for weary drivers without reducing the average 93 minutes spent in coffee shops.
How much does it cost?
Priced at £185, the Handpresso machine comes with two sturdy glasses. Users can also help the environment by avoiding the need for takeaway coffee cups. An estimated 2.5 billion cups are thrown away in the UK each year****.
The Handpresso is powered via the 12v plug, and drivers can choose to use coffee pods supplied with the machine or refillable sachets of their own coffee. Thus, the UK’s coffee connoisseurs can enjoy the roast of their choice at any time.
Thanks to clever packaging, the Handpresso machine fits into a carry bag with its two glasses, napkins and space for spoons, condiments, coffee pods, or ground coffee. The carry bag then packs away tidily into the vehicle’s glove box.
The Handpresso machine costs £185 RRP if ordered at any SEAT dealership, including a 12-month warranty and 15 espresso pods.
