The best ever made for espresso

Perfect

If you take your espresso seriously and hate compromising on coffee quality when you are away from home, the WACACO Nanopresso is an absolute revelation. Whether you are working a grueling 12-hour shift, camping off-grid, or just stuck in a hotel room with sub-par instant coffee, this tiny pocket-sized device delivers a rich, authentic espresso that rivals expensive countertop machines. ​Why this portable machine gets a solid 5 stars: ​Genuine 18 Bars of Pressure: Don't let the size fool you. Thanks to a patented pumping system, this compact machine can reach a massive 18 bars (1.8\text{ MPa}) of stable pressure. That is higher than many domestic electric espresso makers, and it shows in the cup. ​Incredible Crema: The proof is always in the pour, and the Nanopresso delivers a beautifully thick, hazelnut-coloured crema every single time. The extraction is smooth, full-bodied, and captures the true tasting notes of your chosen coffee beans. ​Ergonomic & Easy to Pump: Compared to the older Minipresso model, the Nanopresso requires 15% less force to pump. It feels incredibly sturdy in the hand, and the pumping action is smooth, reliable, and doesn't leave your hand aching. ​Compact & Lightweight Travel Essential: It is incredibly short (just over 15cm) and weighs practically nothing. It tosses effortlessly into a backpack, kit bag, or glove box without taking up premium space. ​Clever, Hassle-Free Cleanup: Every single component easily detaches for a quick rinse. The internal design has been massively improved to prevent coffee grounds from getting trapped in tight corners, meaning it takes less than a minute to wash down and pack away. ​Top Tip for Perfect Extraction: ​For the absolute best results, make sure you use a fine, consistent grind and tamp it firmly into the basket. Also, taking 30 seconds to pre-heat the Nanopresso by running a quick cycle of plain boiling water through it before adding your coffee will keep your espresso piping hot! ​Final Verdict: This is a phenomenally engineered bit of kit. It completely eliminates the need for electricity or battery charging—all you need is boiling water and your favorite ground coffee to enjoy a world-class espresso. It is rugged, reliable, and worth every single penny for anyone who treats coffee as an essential part of their day. Highly recommended!

Excellent quality

This thing is spectacular if you want espresso while travelling and you want it enough to make some effort. I have a Breville Infuser at home and use the nanopresso when traveling, because I got fed up with hotel room coffee machines, or over-priced bad espressos in coffee shops. It did take me some time to get it dialled in but I did that at home. I travel for work most weeks so have been using this 2-3 times per week for a year or two so wanted to post some of my tips to get the most out of this, to deal with issues other reviewers have with the temperature of the espresso, and cleaning. 1. I have the double espresso kit with the bigger basket and the extender. However I do not need the bigger water tank because that would be too much water. The pressure is perfect with 16 g in the basket, which wants 32 g of coffee output. If I fill the small water tank I get 32g output with a tiny bit left in the tank, so I don't need the bigger tank. 2. Sometimes I had trouble with the pressure being too high, and then absolutely nothing would come out. This turned out to be because I had too much coffee in the basket - it's very sensitive to that because of the pressure gauge. So now I carry a tiny coffee scale with me to weigh the coffee grounds and the output. 3. If I have time (ie if I don't have to get up at 5am) then I prime the machine with hot water first. This really helps, but it's also perfectly fine it I don't. I also carry a Yeti espresso cup and I prime that with hot water too. Then I pump my espresso into that instead of the plastic cup that comes with the Wacaco, and the temperature is great. If I don't have time I get the whole thing set up with grounds the night before so that all I have to do in the morning is pump water through it. 4. I experimented with carrying around a hand grinder so that the coffee would be freshly ground, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. (The effort was huge.) So now I grind coffee at home and take it with me. My trips are usually 2-3 days long so the coffee is usually no more than 3 days ground - not ideal but the hand grinder wasn't worth it. I also tried a portable electric grinder but decided that wasn't worth it either. 5. To wash it I run everything under the tap and then dab it vaguely dry with tissues. Depending on my schedule I often then have to pack it up damp but I have not had any trouble with that. If I'm not travelling for a few weeks I open everything up at home and clean it properly, but otherwise I just take it on my next trip and it's fine. 6. I find the hard case to be crucial. Before I had the hard case, I cracked the body somehow in my suitcase, so that it wouldn't build pressure properly any more. I bought a new one and the hard case. It doesn't fit with the double espresso extender on it, but I'm already carrying another pouch with gear so I just put it in the pouch with the scale and the ziplocs of coffee grounds and the tamper. I fit the basket in the actual machine. (The double shot basket fits inside the single shot water tank.) 7. I also have a little folding tray that I open up in my hotel room to put all the gear onto so that I can carry it back and forth between the hot water machine and the sink if I need to, and just to keep everything together. I cover it with kleenex first because things do get a little messy. 8. I recommend watching a video for how to get the coffee puck out of the basket. Before I did that I was scooping it out with a spoon, which was tedious. It's still a bit tedious, but less tedious as I can get it out as a puck. I would never use this at home instead of the Breville, but while traveling I find this effort completely worth it because I care enough about my espresso. This makes better espresso than almost every coffee shop I've been to in the US. The only place I wouldn't bother with this is Australia, where they seem to have amazing espresso in every random coffee shop I walk into. I wouldn't do this while camping, but then again, I wouldn't go camping.

This is undoubtedly the best product I have purchased in recent years! I am Italian but I have been living abroad for several years! as an espresso enthusiast, I always find myself looking for a way to drink a good coffee, and it's not that easy! So I mostly drink coffee at home, and I've always had expensive espresso machines that require a lot of maintenance (and that my roommates have broken several times). I was very skeptical when I bought my first nanopresso, and it was mostly with the idea to take it when I go camping. Now after 2 years that I own it and the only espresso machine I use. I live with 7 roommates and now they all use my nanopresso, I swear this machine will make at least 15-20 coffees a day for 2 years now! I am completely in love with this device! This is the 3 I buy, and it is a gift for my father, but I was forced to buy a second one for me to take with me on trips because now if I take the one I keep at home, away from my roommates, they cry and complain as if I had stolen their soul .. .haha .. I find that the machine expresses its full potential associated with the barista kit. Double coffee baskets for some reason allow you to reach the optimum pressure and the coffee is even creamier ... nothing less than a coffee in the bar with a professional machine when you take your hand! surely there is a learning phase before having the best results. My advice is not to overfill the baskets, press well but leave a little more of the edge uncovered than you would tend to do. Use coffee ground for a house coffee machine. (the grind used for professional machines is a bit too thin, the one for a house espresso machine is perfect!) The best cheap coffee you can find word wide is Lavazza qualita Rossa and Lavazza crema e gusto....they give excellent results with the nanopresso. Also, pump slowly. After doing about ten pumps when you feel the machine going under pressure and the first drop comes out, pause for a few seconds and then start pumping slowly in order to keep the flow constant (press slowly, release faster). A double coffee takes about 25-30 seconds for optimal extraction. The result is spectacular! Thanks, Wacaco! I don't know what I would do without you! Ah, the customer service is super friendly too. I initially asked some questions and they answered me effectively and cordially! I can't recommend them more!

This gadget is meant for making coffee on the go. It is not meant to replace your permanently connected ECM/whatever. However, it makes coffee that is nearly or as good as it gets. I got it together with the Barista kit and the Nespresso adapter. Well, IMHO you don't strictly need either of them, but they are nice to have. For the beans I have tried so far, the optimum was to use slightly coarser grind than with desktop espresso machines. It needs to be tampered normally. After 8 pumping that is needed to build up the pressure, pump once per second to get coffee out. When it started coming, I was surprised of the good consistency and the crema content. In 25-30 seconds all water comes out (you feel that the pump has less and less grip and starts going empty). After a bit of practice I consistently managed to get a dry puck (need to pump a few times even after water went out). Even after this there is some very little hot water left in the holder (this is normal for this type of machine), so be careful when you disassemble it after making coffee. It is easy to get burned (as I have learned on my own), but it's also easy to avoid it :). With the Barista kit you get 2 big (16g) and one small (8g) portafilter, closing lids, a tamper, a bigger cup and water reservoir, so it's worth it in the sense that you can prepare a few shots of coffee and transport it ready to be made. Otherwise you can just use the Nanopresso repeatedly. The Nespresso adapter works, but I need more experience with it before reviewing. So far it seemed harder to press out. (Update after 3 weeks: I have sent back the Nespresso adapter, as I could not make it work consistently. Besides, espresso quality was much better with normal coffee.) Always check that you have closed _completely_ the device on both ends, and always clean it perfectly clean, in order to maintain a good seal (and pressure) over time. The filter part can be completely disassembled and cleaned, there is considerable thought put in designing the device. The design is good, the materials are of good quality. I don't know how long this thing will last (especially at the joints), but it seems to be sturdy enough so that with a little care it lasts long enough until you buy a new version :). Until then, be surprised by the rather excellent coffee the Nanopresso makes.
