Wacaco Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker, Upgrade Version of Minipresso, 18 Bar Pressure Hand Coffee Maker, Travel Gadgets, Manually Operated, Compatible with Ground Coffee, Perfect for Camping

With this, you can make a much better espresso.
- It is capable of producing espresso in under three minutes. br>5 minutes It appears to be long-lasting (if not, I'll update)br>- I keep it in the cupboard and bring it out because it's small and portable. br>br>The Cons:
- Cleaning takes a long timebr>- It only makes one shot of espresso, so if you want to make a double shot for two people, this isn't the best option. br>- Because it's messy, I always place a dish towel or a paper towel underneath it to prevent drips and spills. br>- OUCH! Do not tamp fine grounds in the basket too hard; instead, give it a gentle press to even them out, but do not completely fill it. If you do, the negative pressure inside will pull the top cap down so tightly that you won't be able to remove it. While attempting to remove the cap, the ridges around the top completely ripped my hand up. Time and a lot of muscle are the only things that can help. Don't be like me and make the same mistakes I did. If your cap becomes stuck, use a towel to protect yourself from the ridges.

This device can make fantastic espresso when upgraded with the barista kit. However, this device is prone to FAILURE ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. br>After YEARS of buying extra units, swapping parts, working on my technique, experimenting with different grind settings, and even trying PREGROUND to eliminate the grinder variable entirely, I still haven't found a solution to the constant CLOGGING and LEAKING. Regardless of the grind I use, it will work fine one day and clog the next. The basket/portafilter can leak if it isn't clogged, and half of my espresso will be trapped inside the unit's body. I've tried multiple units and every possible solution to figure out why the seals are leaking, but none of them have worked. It simply leaks at times and does not at others. br>It just works some of the time and doesn't the rest of the time. And I'm at a loss for what to do. It's so frustrating to spend so much time setting up this device only to have it completely fail when I try to serve friends or family. br>I really wanted to believe that this device was a hand-powered espresso secret weapon. It's a fantastic device at a fantastic price, but I'm done with it. br>And this is ignoring all of the other flaws, which I didn't mind at all. It's terrible for traveling, the cleaning isn't as easy as the manual claims, and it makes terrible espresso when you don't use the double-shot feature. From the barista kit, this is a shot upgrade.

This is a fantastic device. I purchased it in order to put it to the test and see how well it worked. The preheated water was poured to the upper line (approximately 80ml) inside the water bowl. To make things easier and cleaner, I also purchased a nespresso capsule adapter (NS adapter). After you've loaded everything in and reassembled everything, twist the rod to unlock it and begin pressing it inward to start the coffee extraction process. First 2- 3 pumps primes it (no real tension), then each press after that (I think I got up to 18 pumps after the coffee was ejected), and finally remove the capsule and rinse everything. It generates enough pressure to produce a creama top without the use of sugar, as is customary in Cuban coffee. Taking it apart reveals how much time and effort went into designing this miniature coffee maker. It's well-made and well-thought-out. It's a fantastic little coffee machine.

I like how portable it is, and I'm happy with the image quality, but there are a few flaws.

- When you twist the water reservoir into place, it doesn't feel like it fits tightly; the plastic just feels like it's giving way rather than really locking in.

- It also only fills the small demitasse cup that comes with it about halfway.

- Finally, it's a little awkward to hold; I broke my hand a few years ago and it's still not the same, but the pumping part was difficult for me and my goofy hand. br>br>It is, however, a fairly quick process, which I appreciated; the longest part was heating the water.

First and foremost, I am a huge fan of espresso. For my home brewing, I use a Breville 870XL. However, I was looking for a solution that could be used both at work and on the road. My Aeropress works perfectly and makes a fantastic cup of coffee. It can't, however, make espresso. br>br>I'd been eyeing the Nanopresso for a while and decided to go ahead and buy it because of the low price. br>br>The product is fantastic in terms of physical appearance. Very sturdy and well-sealed. The metal screen on the ports filter is fantastic. It's small and light enough to take with you on your travels. It comes with a small tote that is useful. br>br>Making an espresso shot is a simple procedure. It's always relative, but making a great espresso with portable equipment is relatively simple. Go to a coffee shop if you want it to be less difficult. Simply add the grinds, tamp lightly, add water, assemble, and pump with the nanopresso. A fantastic shot of espresso emerges from the machine. You get crema, which is impossible to achieve with an Aeropress. It is also simple to clean. Remove the screw and rinse it thoroughly. They recommend removing the portafilter every now and then for a thorough cleaning. br>br>In terms of flavor, it's incredible. It produces an espresso shot that is comparable to my Breville. Anyone looking for a portable machine to make a quick shot of espresso should consider this.
