WACACO Picopresso Portable espresso maker

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.

One of the best portable coffee-related product to date. Perfect gift this season to coffee lovers. Hone your inner barista anywhere. Wacaco did it a good job on this.

product as advertised.

Very nice product and practical

Don't be fooled by this tiny little machine. It does everything to create amazing shots. I do manage to get barista/specialty quality level shots with the Picsopresso. The coffee once perfected is far better than anything you can get from a pro-level cafe. Bear in mind that a grinder is equally important and at times more important than the espresso machine itself. I use a Baratza Encore and have got excellent results. I also use a Subminimal Frother and this gives me some of the best cortados and milk-based drinks.Pros1. Very portable and made with high-quality materials.2. Excellent naked portafilter.3. Has everything to make coffee on a trip. However, I use it at home most of the time.4. You can pre-infuse with ease.5. Naked portafilter will allow you to go all ASMR on your expresso shots.6. You can control the flow rate and the extraction time with the pumps per second.7. Easy to clean as everything can be washed in an instant. When not being packed for a trip I keep everything open on a dry towel for easy drying for the next use.8. Once you get used to the pump and the resistance, you can easily adjust your grind size for better results.9. You can get excellent quality coffee that even some of the pro-level machines that cost thousands cannot do. This is mainly because you can kind of control the temperate and pressure and get a nice pressure-profiled drink.Cons1. Has a slight learning curve. But so does every machine out there.2. Heat retention is a big problem. So preheat your machine, use the same water to preheat your cup. Pour in fresh water at 100C degrees and pull a shot within a few seconds. The internal temp will be lower as the shower screen is not preheated. So you should be pulling your shot at around 93C degrees. PRO TIP: When you are preheating your tank. Drop the shower screen also into it. When you are ready to brew. Place the hot shower screen on the portafilter and then brew. I have managed to get better results.3. If you grind too fine and try to pull shot you will need to wait a few mins for the pressure to dissipate. If not there is no way you can unscrew the basket :-)4. If a temp display and a pressure gauge were there, it would have been perfect. But trust me with experience you wouldn't need it anyway.5. It's good for pulling a double shot for one person. It becomes very time-consuming if you are making many drinks. Unless you are really passionate about coffee you will end up keeping the pump on the shelf and not using it at all because of the work involved. I have been using mine every day almost two times daily.At the time of writing, I have been enjoying beans from Ethiopian Hambela for about 3 months and have had excellent repeatable results every single day.

Needless to say, the picopresso is an amazing brewer.I gave 3 stars because I received what seemed to be a returned box as it was wrapped in bubble wrap, i believe it was supposed to be sealed, not wrapped.Also, I found some scratches on the lid, which was really disappointing.
