Wacaco Picopresso Portable Coffee Maker + Hard Case, Black, Small

An incredibly clever design to not only get a reliably good Espresso (double) shot, but also do that while being utterly portable. Everything about the design is monumentally game changing for the coffee industry. As a cofficionado myself, I've always found myself one step away from truly bring able to access all forms of coffee drinks, as I never had a home espresso machine. In part because a good one can be staggeringly expensive which never made sense to me for home brewing.. so naturally I've forever been on the lookout for a good, capable machine at a more reasonable price point. With the Wacaco Picopresso I found the perfect solution - a great entry point into the world of home espresso, while also becoming a perfect travel item, along with my Aeropress and grinder. Now it's incredibly fun to know that every coffee drink in the world is possible and accessible, which is honestly a great feeling that I've been chasing for years. Yes it is hard work, and it's not instant, but if you put in the 10-12 minutes or so that it takes - the completo double shot is truly enjoyable. And goes great with frothy steamed milk to make all kinds of popular coffee drinks.

I have had a dedicated espresso machine since 3 years and then I bought this. Now this beautiful device have become even more favorite of mine than my older machine. It's a manual espresso machine capable of making authentic espresso everytime. From light roasts to dark roasts, it delivers amazing and most delicious results. The machine is compact and very functional with a smooth work flow like any expensive electric semi-automatic espresso machine. The design is ingenious and one-of-a-kind with everything thought of according to modern day puck preperation from including the dosing funnel, to WDT tool, to tamper which all gets housed in the main pump body for true portability. A must buy espresso machine for all the espresso geeks out there!

A nifty, sturdy machine that provides delightful espresso on the go. The larger, non-pressurized filter compared to the Nanopresso makes a huge difference. This is a connoisseur's device. Experiment with the grind and dosage to get it right for you. Visually see the dense, gooey coffee oils seep out of the filter with a thin layer of crema. Also, very easy to clean.

Time-consuming but worth if you are a expresso or Americano fan

I bought it in june 2023 . My use is 2-3 times per week . Earlier to preinfuse and see drops of decoction after 30 seconds it used to take 8-10 pumps . now since end of last month that is september it is taking upto 15 -20 pumps though i have not changed grid size or beans type or brand . Crema is also less with the same procedure . i think there is some pressure leak .Now i am not happy

Was waiting for this product long time. Was skeptical at first as the seller was new - Brew Ninety Five but on inquiring got to know its Ashcoffee from New Delhi. Package reached in a day to Bangalore but it wasn't packed in additional box other than what Wacaco supplies which was disappointing as there is no seal at all. But Amazon delivery guys stayed back for few minutes while I inspect the product for any damages during transit and fortunately found none. As to the product, no complaints. Built like a tank and has a bit of a learning curve with respect to gind size and the rhythm of the pump press. Thanks to the seller for bringing the product to India and pls work on the packaging.

I bought this espresso maker to make Americanos with. As everyone says, getting the grind right is the best way to ensure this works correctly. I found a local roaster that has great roasts and will grind all the way to Turkish (dust). I’ve found that espresso grind is just right. I almost returned it before trying a better grind and roast for it. Now I crave its output (is that a good thing?). In comparison to an Aeropress it takes about the same time to prep. However, it’s easily double the work to clean. It does provide a much stronger brew though. I’ve found for what I’m used to a much longer steep time (pump 10x wait ~2 minutes) yields a much stronger Americano and one that is worthy of spending the extra cleaning time over an Aeropress. It’s extremely well built and has a premium look and feel to it. I chose the Picopresso over the less expensive and smaller Minipresso GR2 because of the larger basket. One Aeropress scoop (9g) is perfect for my needs. The basket can hold up to 18g but I find that too much caffeine for the roast I’m using. However I could double the water used to water it down and nurse it for much longer than just breakfast. I find that the additional all metal stand, not included, to be of great help when pulling. The mirror is a nice touch so you can easily see how well the flow is moving. It breaks apart to flatten for travel. I’m not that much of a snob to care about weighing grounds and water. I find that it doesn’t make much of a noticeable difference if you’re used to an Americano. Sacrilege, I know. I wouldn’t call it easy to use. It takes work to put together but it’s nothing that wouldn’t keep you from using it once you’ve tasted how well it makes espresso. It really does provide an amazing quality shot for the price and it takes up almost no room (high partner approval factor).

Ich schreibe normalerweise kaum Produktbewertungen, aber die Picopresso hat mich so überzeugt, dass ich meine Erfahrungen teilen möchte – gerade für alle, die (so wie ich) mit teuren „Profi-Espressomaschinen“ enttäuscht wurden. Zuerst kurz zu meinem Hintergrund: Ich bin neu in der Barista-Welt, habe mich aber intensiv eingelesen, um „die beste Espressomaschine zum kleinsten Preis“ zu finden. Nach viel Recherche habe ich mir die Gaggia Classic E24 (neue Version) gekauft, zusammen mit einer MiiCoffee DF54 Mühle, einem 9bar-OPV-Federkit, einem hochwertigen Tamper, IMS-Duschsieb und dem nötigen Wissen zu Extraktionsraten, Mahlgraden und Temperatursurfen. Mit Spitzenbohnen aus einer lokalen Rösterei (2/3 Arabica, 1/3 Robusta) dachte ich: das perfekte Setup! Die Realität: Nach einer Woche voller Versuche, 1 kg edelster Bohnen und jeder Menge Chaos in der Küche (meine Frau war kurz vorm Ausflippen) hatte ich nicht ein einziges Mal einen „Sweet Spot“. Entweder zu bitter (überextrahiert) oder sauer (unterextrahiert). Selbst Tipps von Profi-Baristas halfen nichts. Frustriert habe ich schließlich alles zurückgeschickt. Eigentlich wollte ich das Thema Espresso abhaken – aber der Wunsch nach gutem Kaffee ließ mich nicht los. Bei meinen weiteren Recherchen stieß ich auf die Picopresso – „die kleinste Espressomaschine der Welt“. Nach vielen Videos und Erfahrungsberichten habe ich es gewagt und folgendes Setup bestellt: • TIMECORE Chestnut C3 ESP Pro Mühle • Wacaco Picopresso mit Sleeves • Maestri House Mini-Waage Mit denselben Bohnen wie zuvor, gemahlen auf 0.9, die Picopresso wie empfohlen mit heißem Wasser vorgewärmt und 17g in/36g out – und siehe da: Schon beim zweiten Versuch ein perfekter Espresso! Viel Crema, tolle Balance, keinerlei Bitterkeit, sondern einfach ein starker, runder Espresso, den man dieser winzigen Maschine niemals zutrauen würde. Fazit: Die Picopresso hat mich begeistert. Sie ist unkomplizierter, zuverlässiger und liefert ein besseres Ergebnis als mein deutlich teureres Gaggia-Setup. Für alle, die zu Hause oder unterwegs wirklich ausgezeichneten und hammer -starken Espresso möchten, ohne in ein und teures System einzusteigen: Unbedingt ausprobieren! Ihr werdet es bestimmt nicht bereuen!

Finally I have received my little Picopresso! Amazing little pespresso device. If you know how to use it you will definitely love it. This is a professional coffee machine and not like others. Suitable to use at home or outside and thanks for the compact size. Recommended to have a professional grinder either manual or electric. Cheap grinders will not do the job for you.

I have been using picopresso for some months, it works great! It is important to have the ground coffee fine enough and using a scale to measure the espresso weight. I also use the picopresso gauge to measure the pressure. It helped me significantly to correct myself.

joli machine qui permet de sortir d'excellents véritables expresso facilement, du moment que l'on ne débute pas dans le domaine. le socle pris en option est un gros plus, pour qui souhaite l'utiliser à la maison fréquemment. la portabilité de l'ensemble reste excellente. Un défaut subjectif, la construction en plastique du corps principale, qui fait un peu cheap dans son apparence, bien que le tout semble solide. Un défaut factuel, le couvercle supérieur n'est pas à la hauteur de la qualité de l'ensemble. je mets néanmoins 5 étoiles, car c'est une bonne surprise à tarif contenu à la vue(enfin au gout) du résultat en tasse.
