WACACO Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker Bundled with Protective Case, Upgrade Version of Minipresso, Mini Travel Coffee Machine, Perfect for Camping, Travel and Office (New Elements Moss Green)

I'm a chef and Food Editor who is currently working from abroad in a remote place with NO fresh coffee. Can you even imagine?! The horror. I bought this after reading all the reviews and thank GOD I did or I would have died from caffeine starvation. This little gadget has been my daily wake up saviour and afternoon treat. It takes one or two go's to get the hang of it then BOSH! Ok, it's not as easy, fast and convenient as having a Nespresso pod machine or similar. But I'm telling you the coffee from this thing is better and tastes as good as any commercial coffee machine. AS GOOD. 100%. And this is coming from an utter coffee snob. It even has the 'crema' on top. I WISH I had bought the extra add-on part that allows you to make bigger portion sizes as this really does just serve up one small espresso shot. But if you know you are going away to some ungodly place without coffee, then get this. Plus, cool colour options too and the design is very pleasing. Gotta have a strong wrist action though so not one for the carpal tunnel sufferers 😉.

I am enthusiast of this purchase. The nanopresso delivers a fantastic espresso. It is dense enough and not watery at all, and with a nice crema of top. Use it with a good blend and the taste will be awesome as well. The item is rock solid, built to last a long time. It is easy to use and with practise you will become more skilled in preparing a delicious coffee in few seconds. The only downsides are that you need some strength on the pump and that it can be a little annoying to clean after you had your espresso. But the little discomfort is really worth considering the result. Also, since the coffee in powder is much cheaper than the capsules I used to use, I'm starting to save a lot of money. Absolutely recommended.

It's slightly fiddly when putting the ground coffee in but overall it's easy to use and when you've used finely ground coffee you get a good crema. I have made espressos and I guess it's not bad though unfortunately they're not too hot as when you transfer the hot water from the kettle then pump to get your espresso what comes out is already a little cool. However, I've been adding a little hot milk to my cup of espresso to make piccolo lattes and for that it's good. I probably wouldn't recommend it for camping unless you plan on making lattes or cappuccinos. For me, as I spend a lot of time going abroad and living outside of the UK, it's useful and it'll save me a fortune from buy coffee outside. Nice case, looks stylish and very nifty. Pricey but there you go.

The coffee produced by this device is great. When in the back of beyond, if you buy the barista kit too, you will get a crema on a great tasting espresso if you: a) use fresh beans (roasted between 7 and 21 days is perfect); b) pre-warm the machine; c) grind the beans just before use (beans degrade after about 5 minutes after grinding) d) and get the grind size just right (too fine and the effort is ridiculous - too course and you get nothing). When you get this just right, there will be subtle nuanced tastes to discover, and it's not far off a barista pulled shot from a £20,000 machine in a West End coffee house - especially appreciated when in the back of beyond. That's the positive side. Now to the negatives. The kit list you actually need to carry around is extensive. To make this work at the optimum level you need to carry a) a portable grinder; b) a litre+ bottle of water (2l is good for the day for 2 of you and don't forget you need water to warm the unit plus water for your coffee and water for washing up); c) a jet boil or other portable stove; d) a refrigerated flask of milk/cream according to taste; e) a tea towel for drying; f) the barista kit to get the dose size up to scratch. To make two coffees; allow up to an hour to an hour for full setup, drink, clean up and pack away. It's also surprisingly hard work to squeeze out the espresso - nigh on impossible if your grind is too fine. I can't see away around carrying all of this without accepting compromise on taste or drink format. Finally, it's all a bit messy and you wouldn't want to do it at your desk in the office (grinds and drips of coffee end up everywhere); and you really want a kitchen sink handy to wash/dry everything afterwards. I had a lot of fun in experimenting to get this right. I'd hoped for a desktop solution to mediocre coffee in the office. I am not sure this works due to the cleaning and maintenance. The barista kit should come with a case for the resized machine in my opinion. This is probably going to end up at the back of the cupboard.

Good quality portable espresso coffee maker. In my opinion I think this is improved with additional nespresso capsule adapter (sold separately).

My order arrived this morning and already it has changed how I make my coffees. I was sceptical for months before buying this product as it was expensive, but I took the plunge and am so glad I did. To begin with, the Arctic Blue colour is beautiful and the product looks and feels like it is made of high quality. The contraption itself looks complicated to use, but I cannot stress enough its simplicity. The flavour is entirely dependent on the beans and/or capsules (if you buy the adapter) you use. I've used the same beans in my life for the last year now and can truthfully state that this gizmo produces a rich crema, and delivers a beautiful coffee at no expense. You will need to give the dispenser a good 6-12 pumps for a full dispense from hot water; I'm not the strongest of lads and can tell you its a gentle, easy demand for pumping. If you're thinking of buying this product, do it. Its the ultimate device for handheld coffee production inside and outdoors. I have full intention of carrying this beast to work and taking it camping, not to mention its repeated use in the kitchen anyway. Safe to say You, you will be pleasantly suprised by its performance, quality and utility.

I love my coffee, especially the simplicity of espresso. I have various machines at home & I've even taken them into work to keep the flavours flowing. My new job is "regional" & it is not easy to lug a machine around various sites. I saw this & was intrigued. I wasn't convinced that it could work. The proof is in the brewing! How wrong I was. The design, the size, the mechanism & even the joy of it is sublime. After a few trial runs, I've got it fairly perfect. (There is always room for improvement in everything we do) To me, it's all about the strength of flavour & the crema. Obviously you need good beans to make good coffee & it does take an element of trial & error in the fineness of the grind, quantity you put in & how hard you tamper it. I've got it all to my taste, fairly quickly. I love it. It brings a smile to my face when I pull it out of my bag & a few inquisitive looks from others. I'm very glad I got the case too. All in all, I'm very impressed. A ground coffee holder/container & a thermal hot water flask of similar design wouldn't go amiss? I hold my coffee cup upto you, Wacaco. Cheers.

I was under the impression that you could load it up and take it up a mountain and make a coffee. You still need to have a source of hot water. I thought you could pre fill it hot and it would keep 'thermos style' for a couple of hours while you went on a walk. No. You still need a source of hot water if you are in the wilds. I think I had slightly unrealistic expectations! Otherwise its a nice little gadget, quite easy to use and clean, I like it and am glad I bought it.

I hardly ever write reviews but feel that this product needs one. We purchased this in July 2018 and use it EVERY SINGLE DAY to make 2-4 mugs of (Americano) coffee. It makes the best espresso (it even has the crema on top!) for such a simple unit. We've taken it camping, backpacking, to friends' houses (who don't drink coffee), etc. With this we bought the Baristo Kit so we make a double shot of espresso and top it off with hot water. The unit is easy to clean and easy to operate (& builds muscle as it gives you a little bit of a workout!). I held off on reviewing this for some time because about a year ago I contacted the company to get a replacement gasket (the larger orange one) to have as a back-up in case the one that came with it failed. At that time they said that they did not sell this gasket separately. I was not happy as without this gasket, this product would not work (it would not be able to build up the pressure necessary), and this gasket is custom to this product so it would be probably impossible to find it elsewhere. Well, sure enough about 3 months ago, the gasket got a little horizontal split in it. It still worked but coffee grounds would get underneath it and you had to take the gasket off after each shot to clean it. Because we were taking it on/off repeatedly I didn't think the gasket would last too much longer. So I contacted the company again, though their website and lo and behold, they were now selling this gasket for $1 each. I ordered 2 of them (just in case!) and the shipping was $7. But it was coming from China so it took about 6 weeks to get here. However, it was worth the wait because it works just as it did when it was new, no having to clean under the gasket each time we make a shot of espresso. We are very, very happy with this little device and have put away or set aside our regular coffee makers & Keurig. One last comment... occasionally, the device for some reason does not build up pressure when pumping it (the pump handle just goes in & out without resistance). Not sure why this happens as it happens so infrequently and we haven't figured out a pattern. When this has happened (maybe 5 times in 2.5 years) I just unscrew all of the pieces, pump out any excess water from the main unit and repack the ground coffee in the pod. Doing all that has always fixed it in the past. But as I mentioned, this has rarely happened. Also, if the pump is REALLY hard to press, then either the coffee is ground too fine &/or you have packed it too tightly in the pod. If you decide to buy this little bit of heaven...Enjoy! ;-) UPDATE (4/27/21): Alas, it did finally die not long after I wrote the above review. I think a spring-loaded connector came loose and without a way to open the device, there was no way to see the problem, let alone fix it. However, we have loved it so much we bought another one when it was on sale at Costco.com. The first replacement we bought squeaked loudly with each press (totally unacceptable) so we returned that one and purchased another which seems to be working fine. It came with the Nespresso adapter which was a nice added feature as the espresso roast Nespresso pods make very good coffee. However, we still use the Barista double shot kit daily and our own ground coffee so it was still worth it to us to purchase another one of these. I guess when you look at it buying this vs. visiting Starbuck's 16 times for a $5 coffee (which both cost about the same price!), we definitely would choose this!

Oldukça kaliteli ve güzel bir ürün

I have enjoyed my nanopresso quite a bit so far. I bring it to work with me so I can make a quick and easy espresso. It's not much of a hassle to use, by the time I get the water boiled in a kettle I have it all ready to go. The pump works good and isnt hard to use, you just need to pump it a couple times first to get it primed. It makes a nice creamy espresso that tastes good as long as you use good coffee. It's not too bad to clean out, I take it apart and rinse it with hot water once I'm done and it only takes a few minutes. I do wish you could get a double shot of espresso without buying the barrista kit just because it costs almost half of the price of just the nanopresso, but since I've enjoyed it so far I will probably end up buying it. Overall it makes a good espresso and is compact and easy to bring with you to have a coffee on the go!

Good quality product. Makes a good portable shot with a bit of elbow grease! Used with nespressor pod adaptor - convenient and effective - & nespresso coffee heater/frother. Excellent portable device and system.
