I've been using the picopresso for a little over a month, and it really is a great little device. However, as you mentioned, upgrading the portafilter is necessary if you want to get the best out of it. I find that once you've got an IMS for it, it really does brew café-quality espresso; I'd go as far as to say it produces results just as good as some commercial machines I've worked with. It's also very convenient once you've got a good workflow established. Great video once again, Kyle!

Thanks for another great video Kyle! Been using the Picopresso since November and I've found myself reaching out for it more than my Flair Signature due to ease of use. Has also been great for the office coupled with a nanofoamer for great milk drinks. Some tips from my end: I cradle the pico with one hand and use my other palm to pump. Much more stable and easy to pump. Since it also gets quite hot to hold, I use the silicone covers on my cradling palm and fingers. By the way, I noticed you didn't use the dosing funnel when tamping? I find myself using it to ensure a level tamp then do another light tamp after. Thanks again and enjoy your trip!

Also took it on holiday to a small cabin - perfect coffee on the go. Pumping, I find it fairly easy.

Preground is almost never fine enough for espresso, and ground coffee starts losing freshness immediately so a decent grinder (check out reviews - not all grinders will work for espresso) is a huge win... ...and you can do much better than Illy! I'm sure there's a local specialty roaster who can ship coffee to you. Get something freshly roasted (good roasters put the roast date on the bag) with ethically sourced, high quality beans. I went from supermarket dark roasts to specialty light roasts for my filter coffee and it was an absolute game changer...

Thanks in no small part to this video, I bought myself the Picopresso and a Kingrinder K4 grinder as a Christmas present to myself as a starter espresso kit. I'm very happy. Even the very first shot I brewed, the "test shot" that I assumed I would throw out as I adjusted all the variables was good enough that I drank it and didn't bother making a second test shot. It wasn't perfect, and I have an idea of what things to change, but it was still a decent shot of espresso. I'd say it's on par with the average shot I would get at either a Starbucks or boutique coffee shop. And that was the very first I pulled, which is probably going to be the worst shot I ever pull with the device.

Sorry that I'm not answering the question, I just wanna say that I'm in the exact spot now! What did you choose?? And did you make the right choice? ... I don't want neos pressurized filter but I see that it can be upgraded so it's still same price....

Can you use this regularly? Judging from the build quality, how long do you think it can last?

My brother just got me one and I'm super impressed with the quality. I have a feeling it's gonna last a long time.

Absolutely love my piccopresso. Definitely recommend to Upgrade the basket, and use puck screen, i only do 2 pumps for preinfusion and wait 20-30 seconds. i added a anti slip shower sticker to the lid to make it grippier and to the sides so my palms dont scold. 50/50 decaff/caffinated blend with 50/50 sugar/xylitol, beautiful!!!

Machine isn’t worthless! As you can see my coffee is creamy and textured. It may be your coffee, it may be your prep!
