Compact and Precise: The Perfect Portable Coffee Maker

With the Picopresso, Wacaco has reinvented the portable coffee maker by using a fairly large filter holder (52 mm), while offering a machine that fits in one hand! The objective? To create a mobile coffee maker capable of producing an intense double espresso with a nice crema. No need to sacrifice the quality of your coffee when you're away from home!

Despite its height of 10.5 cm and its weight of 350 g, the Wacaco Picopresso offers an intense experience thanks to its single filter (52 mm), designed to hold 18 g of coffee, ideal for a double espresso in the morning or for a boost in the morning! 

And for the coffee nerds, Wacaco gives you the possibility to make a bottomless extraction. You can choose between a standard extraction with a spout or a bottomless filter. 

With a simple filter, you will of course need a grind that is suitable for espresso: homogeneous and fine. You will therefore need to master the art of espresso making: finding the right grind, packing well, managing the extraction...

A Closer Look At the Picopresso's Features

The Wacaco Picopresso and all its accessories are housed in a stylish black hard-shell sleeve.
Everything is in its place: like a set of Russian dolls!

The portafilter contains a folding measuring spoon. The reservoir contains a small cleaning brush and a tool for evenly distributing the ground coffee.

The tamper with its stainless steel base and the aluminium dosing ring are contained in the reservoir.

The trick will be to learn how to put everything away properly after use, so keep the instructions to hand until you understand the technique!

The pump is an innovative manually-operated piston system. It delivers between 9 bar and 18 bar of pressure (9 bar being the international standard for extracting an espresso). The system retracts so that the Picopresso can be stored in its sleeve.

The water tank can hold up to 80 ml of water. The Picopresso portable coffee machine is built to last and travel, using solid materials (mainly aluminium and materials guaranteed to be BPA-free).

Now Available: the Wacaco Picopresso stand, for a better brewing experience!

Using the Wacaco Picopresso 

The Wacaco Picopresso requires hot water (if you are hiking, bring your hot water in a good isothermal container), 16 to 18 gr of ground coffee (very fine and homogeneous). 

Following the instructions (or see the brand's video below), prepare your ground coffee in the filter, tamp it down, screw the filter with the ground coffee under the Picopresso, add the hot water on top and put the lid on so as not to burn yourself, pump 8 times and wait 8 to 10 seconds for the pre-infusion, finish pumping to extract your double espresso. 

It is recommended to pump with both hands for a good result. 

For maintenance, simply rinse the elements (filter and spray head) with clean water. Try it with a cloth and let it dry in the open air. 




Additional Advice

Carry an insulated container that will keep your water hot for the desired period.

For adventurers who want to grind their coffee beans on site, consider a manual espresso grinder.
