In this video we are going to use our 300 ton ProfiPress Hydraulic Press and my home made Coffee Maker 5 000 000! It has special high pressure piston and cylinder that allow us to extrude hundred times more pressure than typical coffee maker can into regular espresso handle! Don't try this at your kitchen! Exploding espresso handles might throw parts and hot water around

Kiitos to BOTH Lauri. 😉
lmao i love how yall have the same name
Can you put my Head in that cofe thing? I wanna drink me self.
Please make a custom built espresso holder/maker, that can actually withstand the pressures, use thick steel & rubber seals & whatever is needed to make it work :) Maybe a longer/deeper "water cylinder" (whatever it's called) that the "plunger"(?) goes down through. I dislike coffee, but I really want to see this work :D
What can i say? This made me want a coffee. Fun as always Lauri
I can hear James Hoffmann scream in the distance.

Lol I can picture the face and "oh, dreadful" 😂😂😂

Time for Finnish cafés to start springing up all around the world. You walk in, there's a 300 ton hydraulic press behind the counter, and a big, bald barista with a big smile asks if you'd like to try the "Espresso 5 million".
Okay, maybe the technology isn't quite there yet. However, I believe in the HPC R&D team to get us to industrial espresso in the near future.
"Wuld juu like to hääv the espresso five miljön?"
With "here we go!" Everytime make a cuppa
This made me laugh my lung out :D
Press-o coffee, guaranteed Pretty Good.
"Better than gas station" is probably the greatest compliment that can be given for a 300 tonne espresso machine 😅
74 yr. old Canadian here. My mom was born in Finland and I grew up speaking "Finglish". Even though most of my Finn relatives have passed, I still can tell if I enter a Finnish household from the smell of coffee and kahvi leipää. Heavenly!
heh, two weeks ago I met a canadian guy who moved to finland... Seems like a lot of travel between the two
That's not Espresso, that's just Press-o.
I think we managed to make quite lot of things in this video, not sure how close they were espresso or any other drinkable coffee product :D
Spanish….es press-o.
Extrapresso
shame the press was brand new and not old, it would be an ex-press-o then
Instant press-o coffee.
So this is that "instant coffee" I've been hearing about...
The setup takes about one hour per cup but the actual pressing part is quite instant :D
Here is the comment I was looking for!
Preheating coffee machine like ancient hot bulp semidiesel. When hot it will run all the day?
"I'm only doing this because I can" That's how everyone should live.
It is the best reason to do anything. Except clone dinosaurs.
Waiting patiently for the James Hoffman review.
Hames Joffman is on it 😂
@@androiduberalles It all comes full circle, doesn't it?
😂😂i came looking for the James comment.. lol
My first thought was "300 ton coffee? Is he mad?" Then I thought "Of course he is; that's why I've subscribed to this channel!"
I am professional mad man
@@HydraulicPressChannel Fair point. You get paid to be mad. The rest of us are amateurs compared to you. 😂
I think it will be interesting if he make a giant scaled up espresso brewer, like, basket the size of a big bucket, and it brew into a giant tank with a tap. Really interested in seeing how 20kg of espresso pulled looks like. rofl The key to this is to have consistent pressure of 9 bars, but through huge coffee puck, there is no other way to brew such monstrosity without a hydraulic press.
Just listen to Finnish metal, look at Finnish art, and examine Finnish architecture. Finland produces some serious mad geniuses.
You folks absolutely need to continue this series; This has been without a doubt my favourite of your videos, you had me in absolute tears with laughter. Maybe a single follow up video with Lauri where you over-engineer a working solution? Thanks for the laughs!
I have already plans how to make this work on higher pressure. I just need to make all the parts myself or use hydraulics components :D
agree on making a series or at least a follow up, you can do all sorts of smoothies and fruit juices, and it alays makes me smile to see what crazy new ideas the channel comes up with
@@HydraulicPressChannelyes, I think you need a screw in basket, rather than the group handle. All the water is going over the top as a bypass!
@@SailingAquamarine I guess you need to weld it... I mean, at most its water with 300bar pressure, if there is ANY gap it'll find its way and burst out, or maybe a really perfectly worked, long thread would be enough, don't know.
This needs a revisit, with all parts machined! Genius
I had an idea for a video while building hydraulic lines yesterday and thought it would be a perfect project for you, use the 300 ton press to press a smaller diameter piston to generate extremely hight pressures, which has a small section of hydraulic hose which is capped off, it would be very interesting to see the different types of fittings and hoses pressurized to failure. 3000psi hose vs higher pressure hoses exploding NPT, JIC, ORB etc, (each types weakness) Also pipe tape vs liquid thread sealers
Make it much larger!!!! 10 litre of espresso in 30 seconds!!!!!!!
Next step is to make all the parts myself to increase the pressure rating of the system :D
Make the brewing cup out of 1" thick steel with the smallest possible holes drilled in the bottom, and use a 1/2" thick end grain cut of wood as the coffee filter
I think you can use same brewing cup, just make thick and tight support for the brewing cup with single hole at the bottom.
😂😂
Extreme coffee brewing could be a new content category. I'm sure there's an audience for it.
Maybe you could have a series with other KZheadrs making extreme coffee. I could see Colin Furze, The Hacksmith, Alec Steele, backyard scientist, and even Mark Rober joining in the fun
Add vacuum boiled milk? (edit) and Primitive Technology coffee planting, roasting, cup & pots
Should use the underwater simulation setup. Put raw grounds in the water, and up the pressure to see the pressure causing the extraction from the grounds. Then, filter*that*
This is the German level of over engineering I came here for. Excellent, guys. Thank you!
They're not German.
@@DaveC2729 I know they aren't German. I'm German. They are from the North.
But closer to Germany than Oregon, so that's German enough for me. 😁 Besides, that was a compliment.
No, that is Finish over engineering. Germans would not have shown us the explosions😂
@@jtkachlmeierI bet you’re one of those Germans who still uses the 1930’s boarders
I just sat down to watch your video with my French Press coffee. Now I get to watch the Finnish Press method.
"slightly better than most gas stations" is high praise from a barista champion
I’ve learned a new phrase today: “coffee shrapnel’ 🎉🎉🎉 And the enthusiasm of our expert for the taste was, well, ummmmm….. interesting.
I am pretty sure that we witnessed the first time anybody has ever used that phrase :D
That's because Lauri accidentally put explosive instead of coffee.

“Coffee Lauri” is the best nickname ever
I bought some coffee from coffee Lauri (or one of his friends) two weeks ago in Gothenburg! It was one of the tastiest coffees available at the best price at the huge coffee expo.
From italy with ❤....the only channel that seems to me the most interesting and entertaining of all i love your extremely beautiful country with beautiful people.. success in all that you achieve from day to day🙋
"Aside from the filter, everything was perfect..." 😂😂😂😂😂 I can't wait to see the new windows go in!
I just love Hannah´s laughter. The finnish way to make espresso
we need more Lauri featuring Lauri
Him: *“Don't drink it”* Lauri: *“isntantly drinks it”*
Haha, love the new press and the bullet proof room it is in
This is the literal Bulletproof Coffee.
Add a relief hole on the side of the water-chamber with a valve on it. This allows you to fill the chamber full of water, then align the piston and gently push it in with the valve open a bit so you can replace the water with the piston. Now you close the valve and make coffee! This also lets you reduce the total volume of water a bit so the coffee is not watery.
Wtf 😂 It has been maybe a couple of years since I watched any videos of his, and oh boy, what a pleasant surprise it was to know that my man still hasn't killed himself AND just as cool and funny with his unique character and “Finglish” accent. I'm definitely gonna binge-watch some more of their videos this night! 😂 Also, the funny and wholesome mistake of showing the website cropped out a bit @16:16 just makes it even funnier! 😂😂 Big love and best wishes from a Syrian guy here ✌🏼.
I love the fact that you tried first to do the reasonable and test the equipment at making espresso coffee the "proper" way at around 8 Bar. Then of course ramping it up afterwards for the fun factor! This was actually my most looked forward to video from Hydraulic Press Channel ever since the community post.
I think an important part is to measure the amount of water you pour in first, so the espresso has just enough water for how much will soak the beans + how much you want in your cup.
I'd like to see a follow up with a portafilter and basket that can handle high pressure. You can use cold water, as the high pressure makes up for it.
The best part of waking up is 300 ton pressed coffee in your cup.
😂😂
I like my coffee nordic style: without water.
The new chamber sounds GREAT! Thank you!!!
I've been watching this channel for what seems like longer than I have been alive. I don't watch every single video but pretty often I see stuff that that just catches my eye and then I watch a video about 300 tonne coffee. Great work folks. You've kept me entertained and curious for a long long time. Thank you.
I recommend using your extruder [Tall cylinder with small hole spigot] Connect a high pressure hose to that spigot and route it to an enclosed container with a small air hole for pressure relief.
That's not an espresso, it's an esPRESSo
Lauri: "It's 130°. Is that good coffee temperature?" Me: "Oh, that doesn’t sound so bad. Oh, right. Celsius."
Thanks!
"Better than some gas stations"... what compliment could be better? Amazing!
A video near and dear to my heart. I'm sitting here watching with a mug of very strong coffee, and even though I'm American, most people think my coffee should be way less strong. Personally, I want my coffee even stronger, but I'm about at the limit of what the tools I have available can do.
Time to upgrade your tools to include a hydraulic press!
I was drinking my morning espresso and then find this.
Get an E&B labs competition moka filter! You end up having to go back to a drip-ish grind but the filter adds so much backpressure you end up with a way longer contact time so the extraction is much more complete than with a fine grind and the normal filter. It slows the brew time enough to make timing the brew to avoid under/over extraction much easier, too.
Fantastic, I can’t wait for version 2! You have to make a more substantial group handle 😊
I would love to see more videos on this with improved design. Love the channel but ive never been more engaged and entertained by a vid of yours. Amazing job
Thank you for this video. Great idea with coffee. Every time I am amazed by these absolutely fantastic and very funny test ideas to see.
I really hope this will continue. It would be very interesting to see how you would make it so it wouldn't self destruct.
This is 'reasonable' cofee making :)
at least I tried to start at reasonable coffee making :D
Nice... I love coffe! I think you have to revisit this but then with your custom made coffe handle to avoid leaks.
The silliness of this channel is always wholesome fun!
This is the stuff I want to see! Innovative!
HPC can open a new restaurant called "Coffee Cannon", with the slogan: "Express Espresso in 0.3 seconds or less, and if you suffer injection injury, your coffee is FREE!"
😅
This channel is Awesome! Gives a good break from all the other stuff on KZhead that just pisses you off and ruins your day.. Thanks my Scandinavian brother and sister
You just combined my two favorite things to watch on KZhead!! What a time to be alive!
This might just be the most absurd and hilarious video I've seen on this channel, and I'm 100% here for it
So Hydraulic Press brand coffee when? 😃
I think I have to team up with coffee Lauri with this one if this concept gets going :D
I'm really curious if we crush coffee beans or extrude it through tiny hole instead of grinding them with burrs, would it turned out as good ground.
I'm so happy about this one. It touches my heart and caffeine addiction. The amount of effort in machining and tolerance is awesome. That is why we love this channel. Extremes amounts of effort for comedy is the actual funny part.
Great content. I'd like to see you machine a group head that complements the pressure of the press forcing 100% of the water through the grinds. Something like a small cylinder with thread that screws into where the handle normally goes perhaps.
James Hoffman started weeping uncontrollably the minute this came out, and he still has no idea why.
Increasing the Bar in Barista…
Most underrated joke in the whole comments section!
Please continue on this effort ❤ would be a very cool project
"The only reason we are doing this is because we can". That is an excellent reason!
I want James Hoffman to comment "AAAHHHHHHHHH" on this video so badly
I like it as well 😂
"it is espresso not expresso" HPC: "no its very express"
Crushing things *and* coffee. This video really speaks to me on a personal level.
I really hope he continues this series. It would be very interesting to see how he fixes these issues. Like he said, you need to make parts that can endure very high pressure for about 30 seconds so the coffee can extract. For an ultra fine grind, he can buy pre ground Turkish coffee
Some ball milled coffee haha.
You planned to make ice 7. Did you forget about it or are you planning to do it later?
He answered this one a LONG time ago -- he did some more research and he believes that he probably could do it but there would be no way to observe it, so it would make a terrible video.
lmaooo this guy is a maniac i love it
As an engineer (albeit electrical) and a coffee lover I think you would need to build a portafilter and an espresso basket specifically for this application. The espresso baskets currently are stamped out of a really thin piece of metal and then drilled. They are targeted for 9-11 bars of pressure (standard for espresso is 9 bars actually) so they are not designed to handle a press machine. And besides the basket, the locking system of the portafilter to the espresso "machine" body is similarly not designed to withstand that pressure. So whenever you try to push the water through the espresso puck (which is insanely compressed after you pressed it with a hydraulic press) the water essentially finds a smaller resistance path through the sides of the portafilter rather than the puck itself. So you need to, at the very least, design the body where you mount the portafilter to, so that the steel column extends deep inside the portafilter and has a very good o-ring so that it seals shut the "puck" from the "outside" of the portafilter. Perhaps even have it go all the way down to the bottom of the basket itself and then load the coffee grounds and tamp it from the top. I.e. just have a big thick cylinder with an o-ring at the bottom lip that extends inside the portafilter and espresso basket and just use the portafilter as a way to "seal off" that big cylinder. I would be really curious what pressures you would be able to achieve then and how the coffee would taste. Perhaps Lauri could also make a super light roast to compensate for the extremely increased extraction of the high pressure! Would be a very exciting experimente
ABSOLUTELY---->>>>>> AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
My daughter, who is the Metrology Engineer for a large OEM oil filter mfg., walked through my room while you were pressing. She started naming all of the tonnages of their presses used in making parts for oil filters. From 10 tons to 600 tons. She is responsible for making sure all measuring equipment used is in calibration. She works in 10 millions of inches to much larger gauges. She is also certified to test and repair gauges used in measuring the measuring gauges. She has to go to their other factories to check that their equipment is accurate.
But can she make coffee with a 600-ton press?
And what was her opinion of the hydraulic coffee press?
She said it looked nice but did not have enough tonnage to press as many oil filter base plates in one push as their production requires. She listed the number and tonnage of just the ones she remembers and it amazed me. I understand the filter can presses are fast and stout. Maybe I will remember to ask her sometime.@@DH-xw6jp
I love this video so much!
Long years wthout watching this channel. So awesome videos
Your Barista friend was a great addition to this video, great chemistry between you two!
love it! we need part 2 where you perfect this and actually make good coffee
Great video! the first thing i would improve is the coffe handle. Manufacture and machine an own "handle" that is way stronger and seals properly so all the pressure HAS to go through the coffe and cant escape.
This is brilliant
Probably due to the cold weather, one thing Canadians and Finns have in common is our love for coffee! Per capita, we are the biggest caffeine consumers in the world, Finland being at the top. To this, I raise my cup, and salute you friend! ☕💥 Thanks for making these. Stay warm, winter's almost over!
This is wonderful!
From what i understand in coffee, it needs time to actually get the solubles out. So I probably would either got a french press type setup that then gets pushed through a stack of filters or a compressed puck above a stack of filters, that then is topped with a filter (e.g. a metal multi-use filter for aero-press) and then add the water on top and push it through. Obviously the filter basket is the week point, so i would probably try to exchange it for a metal plate with multilple holes or something like that.
This is my first video of yours I have seen. Very entertaining and enjoyable👍
If you do two stages it might work. At the first stage the ground coffee is infused under maximum pressure but not extruded at the same time, that happens in the second stage under lower pressure. The new portafilter has to be obviously stronger but most importantly it needs a different nozzle with a valve to allow for the two stages to happen. Another thing I've noticed is of course that the nozzle of the original portafilter is shaped in such a way that it will splash the coffee to the sides, that's why it's been so messy.
Not only this title by it's couldn't be ignored, but the moment you start the video you're greeted with a lovely Finnish accent. Wasn't disappointed at all with the actual experiement hahaha. Love form Russia, bless you
Brilliant!!
Love your new setup. So cool
This video smells great!
PERFECT! I want one.
Reverse the Flow. Press into expansion tank and take Feed from Top Or Bigger Holes in Grinder cup supplemented with Coffee Filter
I'm italian and the guys from this coffe place are really great!
Great power needs great control
US home based small startup roaster here ($10k/yr), love the content and the collab!
This is my favorite HPC video this year! It's the seal at the top of the portafilter that breaks down before the water is done going through the puck. I wonder if there is a way to make a stronger seal at the top. I think you should consider making your own version of an Aeropress out of steel. :D Perhaps a steel tube filled with a column of coffee and you can see what happens when you try to push the water through different amounts of compressed coffee 3cm, 5cm, 10cm! 10 centimeter tall coffee puck!
Wow! I can’t believe your channel has NINE (9) MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ❤ Congratulations from sunny south USA👍🏼 🇫🇮🇺🇸
I haven't laughed that much in a long time 😂 Thank you for always having new ideas to try out 😊
This is 10/10 youtube, thank you
I agree with everyone else saying a custom machined portafilter that can handle the full pressure would be great to see
Yep, Expresso. Thank you! May I suggest you try pressing steam through it? (5% chance of success) I guess you'll need a longer and/or larger cylinder... MAYBE not quite 1600 times larger then the water volume, if you make the steam under pressure... I suppose you'd need a way to drain the condensed water so it doesn't do the same thing it just did, might get complicated there. of course you'll need a tiny orifice or valve to hold back that pressure and a ridiculously strong filter support assembly so the grains can't get through until they'd push the filter through. Sounds expensive but might be fun... if it works.
that video was a lot of fun, many thanks for the laughs!
