WACACO Minipresso GR Portable Espresso Machine Compatible Ground Coffee Hand Coffee Make Travel Gadgets Manually Operated Perfect for

Damn, for a device that does not run on electricity or batteries, this makes some really ASTONISHING espressso coffee! The instructions on the box itself was super easy to understand. Got some french roast coffee powder and hot water ready, and started pumping out espresso coffee within minutes of receiving the box through Amazon! Easy to tell that coffee is coming out as you feel extra pressure on the device and the pump. You will know its done when the pressure gets back to being 'too easy'. The flavor of the coffee is dictated by the coffee powder used and my french roast espresso turned out super tasty! Cleaning this device was a breeze as you run everything under water. And once done, the device is put back in its original shape and its a very tiny looking cylinder thats driven by manual power to brew coffee! HUGE highlight for traveling and for times when you need a quick coffee fix and you are not near a coffee maker or a coffee shop. Read more

Excellent Wacaco Minipresso, but I opted for the larger Nanopresso and Nanopresso Barista Companion Kit. The Minipresso works well esp if you get it's side kick companion. I have large hands and the Nanopresso feels better in my hands. Read more

Absolutely amazing little gadget. I’ve been using French press or Moka pots for coffee for many years. I’ve even got a Bialetti Moka Crema pot in the hopes of creating the perfect espresso with crema on top in the comfort of my own home. This little hand pump is the perfect replacement for stove top pots and cafetières. It takes up no space on your precious countertop and is dead easy to operate without reading instructions. If you can boil water, you can do this! The whole thing unpacks at the top to reveal a drinking cup, a nozzle, a coffee filter, the main pump, and a water receptacle. All you have to do is take it apart, fill the coffee filter up, reassemble the top part, fill the water tank with boiling water and screw it to the rest of the pump. After 10 pumps you’ll start to see perfect creamy coffee come out. Another 20 pumps or so will empty the tank. You don’t need to count, when you start feeling less resistance in the pump, you’ve reached the end of that shot. I’d say it puts out about 2 shots worth of espresso. I drink my coffee Italian style with a dash of milk and it’s perfect every time. No guess work involved at all, just a perfect crema on top of a smooth draw. An added bonus is that I can take this camping or traveling since it’s so portable. 10/10! Read more

As an avid coffee drinker her and somebody who moves around a lot at work I can tell you that this product really is something awesome. The Minipresso by Wacaco does everything that it tells you that it will do witches make a great shot of espresso. With all that being said obviously there are some pros and there are some cons about using something like this. Let us start with the pros: The Minipresso is very compact and you were able to transfer port it pretty much anywhere you want. You can stick this thing in a lunch box in your backpack in your glove box you can take it with you anywhere you want to and that is a huge plus. Another thing that I really like about it is how it all just kind a folds together - it's all one unit and you're not going to be losing items or anything like that. I really like how solid this thing feels. I feel like that if I were to drop it it would still be able to function and not give me any problems. For the quality of the espresso I think it makes a very good above-average shot of espresso given for the fact that this is a manual system. Obviously you're going to get stronger and better shots miss Bresso with an automatic machine but for what this is it makes a superb above-average shot of espresso. As long as you follow the directions that it provides you you're going to make a great couple of espresso without breaking the machine. Do not tamp. Here are some cons: (not many) For this section I think it really just comes down to a couple things and first of which is The really obnoxious squeaking noise that happens when you start building up the pressure inside the canister. The really obnoxious squeaking noise that happens when you start building up the pressure inside the canister. It is an auditory distraction that takes away from the whole experience of making this really great shot of espresso. Another con that I have is that the cup that comes with the unit doesn't really keep your espresso warm for very long chill when you're on the go when you want to enjoy a nice cup of espresso it's going to become cold very quick. (that's a personal preference). My last con is going to be the price. Now when I bought this I bought at $87. That's a little bit steep considering that you can buy this directly from the website for cheaper At around $56. And that's my mistake for not doing a little bit more homework on that. Read more
