Product Information

At this point, you can work out whether your grind size is the correct size. If it takes many more pumps before the coffee liquid appears from the basket, the grind is too fine. Conversely, if it takes fewer pumps, the grind is too coarse. Keep in mind that there should be some – but not excessive – resistance even at the correct grind size. Adjust your grind setting if needed. It goes without saying that this is an entirely different league than AeroPress Espresso. Nanopresso (left) vs Picopresso (right). It’s an easy K.O. win for the Picopresso. Who is it for?

Wacaco Picopresso portable espresso machine review

Nevertheless, that pressurized portafilter is also the reason that the espresso the Nanopresso produces won’t be as good as the Picopresso. Overall, the delicious creamy espresso this compact machine produces compares favorably with machines that, in some cases, cost hundreds of dollars. Cleaning And Maintenance The price tag might be a bit too much for some. However, I think it’s justified for a product with this level of finesse. The Picopresso has several useful accessories and parts – some visible as you unbox, some inside the device.

Chi tiết sản phẩm

Manual espresso making can produce decent results. However, there are often limits to important factors, including ease of use, size and weight, and the quality of the drinks they brew compared to premium espresso machines. Wacaco’s previous version, the Nanopresso, used a small pressurized basket that could only fit about 8-12 grams inside. The Picopresso provides an enjoyable quality focus process using current tools of the trade to brew a standard Double Espresso. Its clever pump design makes it both super compact and lightweight for an espresso brewer as well as durable enough that it's ready for just about any adventure. Now, you can shop the full range of Wacaco products, including the Wacaco Picopresso. But now let's jump straight in and explore the full potential of this promising brewer. Then go ahead and fill the water chamber with boiling water, and by leaving a small gap at the top, it's about 70ml of water, and this will get us pretty close to our target espresso yield of 40g out.

We love the Nanopresso, and Wacaco has done a ground-breaking espresso maker again with the Picopresso. The coffee this little device produces is simply beautiful, while the well-thought-out design and excellent accessories make using the machine a pleasure. I love the fact that it’s portable and compact. It’s ideal for traveling and pretty easy to use anywhere with a manual grinder. Ever wondered what your favourite coffee would taste like if it was brewed by a professional barista? You won’t have to wonder anymore: now you can brew it yourself at home (or even on the go!) with “Picopresso”, the most compact and professional of the portable espresso machines produced by Wacaco. But after 12 pumps, or when I see that coffee just coming out, I wait for 10 seconds and that allows the coffee to pre-infusion the basket.So next, grab that WDT tool and swirl it inside the grounds. WDT is short for Weiss distribution technique, and this works to create an even density of grounds in the portafilter and also breaks up any clumps before you tamp. This as well as other styles of distribution promote the even flow of water through the bed of coffee for a balanced extraction of the grounds. The Cafflano Kompresso uses a naked basket and that means that it’s best for advanced users, who already have a good espresso grinder and some knowledge about the brewing process. However, if you know what you’re doing, you can get great shots! The Picopresso doesn’t require batteries to brew your espresso. Instead, it features a piston, which can be pumped by hand to create 18 bars of pressure to force the hot water through the coffee grounds. It comes with a standard 2-inch / 5.2cm double basket, similar to those found on mains-powered espresso machines. It can hold 18g of coffee, and also features a 2.7fl oz / 80ml water tank, so you can brew a double espresso no matter where you are – as long as you have access to boiling water and a cup.
