First of all, I apologize if my questions might seem trivial. I would like some clarifications regarding the coffee basket and the various quantities to use. The one provided with the device has a capacity of 18 grams. In general, I assume that coffee beans and ground coffee are considered to weigh the same. So, to fill the basket, 18 grams of coffee beans are needed, correct? With this quantity, does it produce a single double espresso or two separate espressos? Regarding the water amount to pump, should I use it all, or do I stop based on how long I want the coffee to be? There is also a 12-gram basket, correct? I ask because I would like to avoid consuming too much caffeine. Does it make sense to purchase the 12-gram basket, or is it fine to fill the 18-gram basket with just 12 grams? and I I put 12gr of coffe beans, Do I have to reduce the quantity of water from 80ml to 53ml ? Lastly, one more question: Isn’t a single espresso typically made with just 7 grams of coffee

Great idea although I can imagine the insane amount of microplastic you consume with each cup of coffee…

How to clean this?

I would preheat brew chamber and cup in last minutes prior to pumping, not too early

Thanksgiving dinner doesn’t require 22 steps.

Can we use it at ns2?

what a simple lifesaver solution!!! after pulling some ten shots. I felt the water flow was uneven/restricted. found this video and fixed it in less than five minutes

Can anyone link me to a video on how to get these properly clean? Mine stinks after i rinsed it sand didn't use it for a couple days. I can't work out how to get the inner components to drain/ dry properly.

Honestly a great bit of kit. You need to understand how to brew coffee, have a decent grinder, and of course use decent coffee. The espresso i extracted from this is as good and more consistent than some of the sage products I've used. Well done wacaco

I have a Picopresso and am very pleased with the results. Just one piece of advice. Pump at least two or three shots of hot water through to thoroughly preheat the water tank.

what does that mean with modified version?

Which is better, a manual pump or electric type?

Wait...weight the coffee, measure water temp, pump the coffee...sorry, its a no go.

Having this thing for about 6 years, still works prefectly. Recently decided to upgrade to GR2. Today got it, already made 2 cups of coffee. It is stronger and amount of water a bit bigger. Old one gonna give to my dad, that's why searched for the instruction video. Awesome machine, i'm glad that I got both of them!

This does not work. I tried it with different ground and all I get is very light brown water

isn't this for travel? And if so, wouldn't the coffee be cold later?

Very disappointed with this product. I make a good coffee with crema with my old nanopresso. Even if I grind the same coffee ultrafine I never have a good espresso with the Picopresso. Money wasted…

Alguien me puede ayudar, me sucede que a veces hago los pasos uno por uno y al momento de bombear el agua este no genera presion y no sale cafe, espero ayuda

Y love this product unfortunately the protective case zipper it’s low quality not the same quality of other productos of the brand

Similar to a lot of people's experiences here, after 2 coffees the lid is stuck. I am returning, would not recommend

Wacaco, please tell us when are you going to restock that gauge you use in this video? I have been looking for it desperately.

Is this an AeroPress for people who want things overly complicated? Wacaco need to solve the water heating problem if they want to make a truly complete and self-sufficient portable system.

Il caffè in tazza viene tiepido. Come posso aumentare la sua temperatura? Portando l’acqua ad ebollizione? Grazie

I just use for a moun, but water leaking from the pump (i use Picopresso gause) and the pressure only 5bar

As someone who is from south Europe where espresso is a big thing and especially quality of the same this machine is surprisingly good, espresso is really good!

Does work with batteries?

Once it's unpacked in your holiday apartment, there's no fuss. I can make an espresso or with milk from scratch in just over 4 minutes - a good chunk of of the time being doing hand-grinding. My Bambino Plus takes 2.5+ minutes from scratch for a flat white - so not much difference.

First it worked normally, but now I put an awful amount of force to make a tiny bit of espresso in far more time that a normal espresso should be ready. I did the cleaning process in the video that is very poorly shown, vut I managed to do it as instructed, leaning it throughly. But stull no change. This problem just happened today in the morning it was working as a charm, then all of the sudden..it stopped working normally. I really don't know what to do I will try to repeat the cleaning process to see if it helps. Is there anything you can say to yelp me? It is just 2-3months I own the Picopresso now, not enough for it to start giving me headaches

I bought this yesterday. I really looking forward to this.

Just ordered this 👍 Previously had the picopresso which was impressive. Hopefully this will be just as good. Great price point for this

how about the minipresso GR2? it is better than the nanopresso?

Great machine. Small in size but big on features. I bought it and it arrived today and made an espresso with it a little while ago. It tastes amazing.

I just received a Minipresso GR2 recently. I love it; however, the liquid/espresso produced on my end comes out black like coffee. It does not have the brown/frothy/espresso look. Am I doing something wrong? Suggestions? I am watching videos online, and then the liquid that comes out of the GR2 looks more like espresso than mine.

My parents bought me this for Christmas and it is one of my favorite devices ever! I love coffee, but have only ever done pour overs, not wanting to spend a lot on an espresso machine. But with this device I can make a shot of espresso easily!

That's too much hassle

it seem simpler then the nanopresso, only problem would be to remove the puck. also does the scoop fit the perfect amonth to fill the basket like on the nanopresso? i dont want to weight the coffee each time.

Omg

I do exactly as stated, however, have the water remains in the tube and does not pass as coffee to the mug. What am i doing wrong?

Great add on, but after a while, when i pump, the piston doesnt go back to extended position easily, i have cleaned the nanopresso but it doesnt make it better

This product is rubbish. Works for the first espresso, then impossible to open. When you finally do get it open, it won’t work again, just leaks water and won’t pierce the pod. Incredibly frustrating. I even purchased a second time because I assumed the first was an anomaly. Literally the exact same problems. I have followed all instructions and videos. This product just shouldn’t be in the market, it is 💩.

Can I put the ground coffee inside and bring it around before adding water for extraction? Also is it possible to put more than 8g?

cool review , but I think the pressure that they say 18 bar is not at extraction time ,its a commerical thing, because technically 18 bar is nearly impossible for fingers also for hand its impossible (every one can test it with a simple small 10ml syrnge, just try to push the syrnge to 0,5ml(not 5 ml ) ,with wacaco , as you try you can feel easily "the water drops exact the same volume as in the pump piston when user press to pump, normally for 18 bar pressure the user have to add 18 times the volume air for 1 volume at 18 bar, and it means that you must pump average 90 times for smallshot with very hard effort.I think its a commerical thing, device can resist maximum 18 bar air in the water tank or in the piston. but only for maximum resistance , not for extract the coffee in 18 bar or 9 bar, this device look cool but really confuses me for making espresso in true pressure.ı try with measuring the outer pressure from basket , after around 7-8 bars you can not add any air to the system with fingers you must use full hand and chest for pressing pump. any one tried to measure the pressure ?

very useful!

I have a Comandante Grinder C40 MK4 HOW MANY CLICKS? on it to grind the ideal size?

is it any close to real Nespresso taste?

Dont buy it. 2 times i bought, both of time machine stucked, wont open. I followed the instructions, watch the video. There is no coffee also cant able to open the machine. Dont spend your money for this

Thank you for the instructions on how to properly clean it after a certain time of use. I really like my Nanopresso. Makes perfect coffee on the trail, when i'm at camp or even at home or at work. Simple to use, compact. Love it!

With exagrind I can't pumping picopresso very well under 15 clicks.wander how you can with 12 and still smooth😮

What material is the water tank inside ?
