PICOPRESSO

I haven't had mine long. But I love it so much I bought two! One to keep at work. I'm not a trained barista or massive coffee connoisseur. But I appreciate good coffee. I doubt there is a better way to get a decent espresso shot for cheaper than this. I got my first one on prime day and ended up paying £75. That's really hard to beat. Especially as it's still good value at £119. The Instagram friendly packaging was nice... but completely wasted on me, as it just got ripped open and responsibly sorted into the appropriate bins for disposal ;) I got the IMS basket for it. Maybe it's better... people who know more than me seem to think so, so why not. The original basket definitely fits better, although the IMS works fine despite the awkward fit. I can't speak to how well this will last, there is a lot of plastic, so it could crack I guess, but this doesn't seem to be a thing just yet, looking at other reviews. I think this is a brilliant coffee tool, it allows just the right amount of engagement and experimentation to be intriguing and dare I say, fun to use. I have definitely been able to impress people with the quality of shot this can produce. There is a "but" though... you need a good grinder. It's very sensitive to grind size and quality. You'll be able to squeeze a decent tasting shot either way. But if you're after a decent crema, you need to dial in your grind size. I initially ground too coarse and had no crema, then I ground too fine (Turkish) and it wouldn't push water through, there is a pressure bypass, so it will just cycle water back into the chamber if there is too much pressure in the pump. Then I hit the goldilocks and got some beautiful golden crema. Very happy. I feel like the trick is short, quick pumps to build good, consistent pressure. To sum up, it's pretty affordable (though that's subjective) it's easy to get great results. But if you invest some time and effort, you can really produce some amazing espresso - which can be very rewarding. Making this a great purchase in my opinion.

The Picopresso is absolute genius and the closest I can get to a portable device that delivers barista quality espresso. I own multiple portable espresso devices and this one leaves them all standing. I also have a pretty hefty espresso setup at home (yes I know a bit sad) and I therefore have high expectations when it comes to my daily shot or two. The Picopresso if used correctly can deliver trully exceptional results. When my home machine went in for its service a few weeks ago I used the Picopresso every day and was more than happy. However ,there are a few howevers. You need a good quality espresso grinder for your (fresh - dark/espresso roast) beans and preferably some scales so that you use the same amount of grind every time. I use approx 15g. You can go up to 18g but thats a matter of taste. Properly tamp the beans with the funnel removed from the basket. Ideally replace the supplied basket with a 51mm full size basket (La Pavoni Europiccola baskets fit) - but only if you are as fussy as me. Most importantly pre-heat every element before you make your coffee otherwise the results are going to be lukewarm. Avoid getting water inside the plunger. There's some great youtube videos out there. It's a bit of a faff when you start but well worth it once you get used to it. I regularly take mine to work with my coffee pre-ground.

It took a while to be able to produce a proper espresso mainly because my coffee grinder was unsuitable. Once I got a grinder designed specifically for espresso bingo! Lovely crema and perfect extraction. The good points are 1) small size so you can store it in a drawer and not have it staring at you all day from the worktop 2) small enough to take it with you on trips. But but but you will have to have access to hot water so camping trips and B&B are ok but one day hiking trips will require lugging a stove and a kettle. It may not be an issue for you. Overall, very happy with my Picopresso. Way better espresso than I get from most coffee shops in London. It also compares favourably with Nanopresso. Go and get one if you can.

This is 2nd I've bought (first had a sealing gasket broken). They are mostly great, with some notes - top lid is hard to fit (i'm not using it -- a bit risky, but less risky then fumble with the lid) - bottom rubber mini-funnel is now not staying in place when fit the usual way: the answer is to invert it - 18G filter is a bit too much even for hard-core espresso lover like me; have to buy 12G separately - most ground coffees on marked are too coarse for this machine Overall, a solid little coffee maker, a bit of a hassle to handle and a bit expensive, but worth it.

This absolutely will not replace your at home espresso solution, however it doesn’t claim to. What this does do is make incredible espresso on the go. Basket sizes are fairly standard and you can brew according to your usual ratios for the most part. As long as you pre heat the chamber and keep your water at temperature the results that this can make will blow your mind. Absolutely worth the purchase if you travel or want coffee away from home frequently

Very good quality, more complicated than I expected, this is a travel coffee machine, where do you get boiling water if you are travelling, put boiling water in a flask I suppose. Only good for one cup. Colin Rate.

Just pulled my first shot and it was rich and textured. I can already see/feel/taste how to improve it further. Very easy to use and simple to clean. I bought this to replace my previous set up . The base model of the other manual kit is much much more expensive. No downgrade in shots so the value proposition is brilliant. This makes good coffee from good beans ground properly and thats all you can ask for.

I bought this espresso maker to make Americanos with. As everyone says, getting the grind right is the best way to ensure this works correctly. I found a local roaster that has great roasts and will grind all the way to Turkish (dust). I’ve found that espresso grind is just right. I almost returned it before trying a better grind and roast for it. Now I crave its output (is that a good thing?). In comparison to an Aeropress it takes about the same time to prep. However, it’s easily double the work to clean. It does provide a much stronger brew though. I’ve found for what I’m used to a much longer steep time (pump 10x wait ~2 minutes) yields a much stronger Americano and one that is worthy of spending the extra cleaning time over an Aeropress. It’s extremely well built and has a premium look and feel to it. I chose the Picopresso over the less expensive and smaller Minipresso GR2 because of the larger basket. One Aeropress scoop (9g) is perfect for my needs. The basket can hold up to 18g but I find that too much caffeine for the roast I’m using. However I could double the water used to water it down and nurse it for much longer than just breakfast. I find that the additional all metal stand, not included, to be of great help when pulling. The mirror is a nice touch so you can easily see how well the flow is moving. It breaks apart to flatten for travel. I’m not that much of a snob to care about weighing grounds and water. I find that it doesn’t make much of a noticeable difference if you’re used to an Americano. Sacrilege, I know. I wouldn’t call it easy to use. It takes work to put together but it’s nothing that wouldn’t keep you from using it once you’ve tasted how well it makes espresso. It really does provide an amazing quality shot for the price and it takes up almost no room (high partner approval factor).

Ich schreibe normalerweise kaum Produktbewertungen, aber die Picopresso hat mich so überzeugt, dass ich meine Erfahrungen teilen möchte – gerade für alle, die (so wie ich) mit teuren „Profi-Espressomaschinen“ enttäuscht wurden. Zuerst kurz zu meinem Hintergrund: Ich bin neu in der Barista-Welt, habe mich aber intensiv eingelesen, um „die beste Espressomaschine zum kleinsten Preis“ zu finden. Nach viel Recherche habe ich mir die Gaggia Classic E24 (neue Version) gekauft, zusammen mit einer MiiCoffee DF54 Mühle, einem 9bar-OPV-Federkit, einem hochwertigen Tamper, IMS-Duschsieb und dem nötigen Wissen zu Extraktionsraten, Mahlgraden und Temperatursurfen. Mit Spitzenbohnen aus einer lokalen Rösterei (2/3 Arabica, 1/3 Robusta) dachte ich: das perfekte Setup! Die Realität: Nach einer Woche voller Versuche, 1 kg edelster Bohnen und jeder Menge Chaos in der Küche (meine Frau war kurz vorm Ausflippen) hatte ich nicht ein einziges Mal einen „Sweet Spot“. Entweder zu bitter (überextrahiert) oder sauer (unterextrahiert). Selbst Tipps von Profi-Baristas halfen nichts. Frustriert habe ich schließlich alles zurückgeschickt. Eigentlich wollte ich das Thema Espresso abhaken – aber der Wunsch nach gutem Kaffee ließ mich nicht los. Bei meinen weiteren Recherchen stieß ich auf die Picopresso – „die kleinste Espressomaschine der Welt“. Nach vielen Videos und Erfahrungsberichten habe ich es gewagt und folgendes Setup bestellt: • TIMECORE Chestnut C3 ESP Pro Mühle • Wacaco Picopresso mit Sleeves • Maestri House Mini-Waage Mit denselben Bohnen wie zuvor, gemahlen auf 0.9, die Picopresso wie empfohlen mit heißem Wasser vorgewärmt und 17g in/36g out – und siehe da: Schon beim zweiten Versuch ein perfekter Espresso! Viel Crema, tolle Balance, keinerlei Bitterkeit, sondern einfach ein starker, runder Espresso, den man dieser winzigen Maschine niemals zutrauen würde. Fazit: Die Picopresso hat mich begeistert. Sie ist unkomplizierter, zuverlässiger und liefert ein besseres Ergebnis als mein deutlich teureres Gaggia-Setup. Für alle, die zu Hause oder unterwegs wirklich ausgezeichneten und hammer -starken Espresso möchten, ohne in ein und teures System einzusteigen: Unbedingt ausprobieren! Ihr werdet es bestimmt nicht bereuen!

I have been using picopresso for some months, it works great! It is important to have the ground coffee fine enough and using a scale to measure the espresso weight. I also use the picopresso gauge to measure the pressure. It helped me significantly to correct myself.

joli machine qui permet de sortir d'excellents véritables expresso facilement, du moment que l'on ne débute pas dans le domaine. le socle pris en option est un gros plus, pour qui souhaite l'utiliser à la maison fréquemment. la portabilité de l'ensemble reste excellente. Un défaut subjectif, la construction en plastique du corps principale, qui fait un peu cheap dans son apparence, bien que le tout semble solide. Un défaut factuel, le couvercle supérieur n'est pas à la hauteur de la qualité de l'ensemble. je mets néanmoins 5 étoiles, car c'est une bonne surprise à tarif contenu à la vue(enfin au gout) du résultat en tasse.
