This design actually does produce 8-9 bars of pressure by using steam to drive the piston -- brilliant in its simplicity. The video shows the process without need for words.
To keep it short & simple: good espresso depends on using only the freshest beans -- roasted less than a week before use, if possible -- and grinding them with a high-quality burr grinder. Lacking these two conditions, one might be better off using Illy iperEspresso capsules for consistent results.

Interesting design, never saw that one or heared of it before. Looks like something that could lift off into space any second.
