A mini espresso coffee machine that you can take with you on the go is a dream come true for true coffee lovers!
The Nanopresso is perfect for using in the train to work, camping or hiking on trails as it takes very minimal space. You can fit the Nanopresso in a backpack, tote bag, or commuter bag.
Considering how expensive a cup of coffee can be these days, a coffee brewer solution like the Nanopresso is a heaven sent for those commuting to work as all you'll need is a hot water thermo bottle.
Those not lucky enough to work somewhere in an office with a free coffee machine will also love having the Wacaco Nanopresso handy by your work desk while everybody else goes off strolling to the local 3rd wave coffee bar.
And, it's not just the practicality of being portable that lets you take the Nanopresso out on a boat. The Nanopresso makes a great replacement for a coffee machine in the kitchen too because of its small footprint and superb performance.
At such a low price, the Nanopresso truly and really gives more expensive coffee machines a run for their money and without the noise too.
Plus, the Nanopresso is also fun to operate as it's literary hands-on. Simply push the piston pump a few times to build the pressure up and then watch the smooth extraction of the coffee.
The mechanical hand pump built-into the Nanopresso produces an amazing 18 bar (261 PSI) of stable pressure which is quite remarkable considering the Nanopresso does not use electricity nor rotary/vibratory pumps that you get in professional and home espresso machines.
The WACACO Nanopresso is actually a much improved version of the Minipresso that came out a couple of years ago. The Nanopresso has a different portafilter mechanism and a water tank with an external heatsink design that absorbs and protects your hands from the heat.
The Nanopresso works the same way as the Minipresso but it's overall smaller and can hold more water (80ml) than the Minipresso water tank
It's also worth mentioning that the Nanopresso uses a pressurised head or pressurized portafilter with a spring-loaded valve inside the portafilter that only opens when a certain pressure is reached. This is why it takes a few pumps before the Nanopresso lets coffee flow through.
You can actually remove this valve from the Nanopresso portafilter so that you can use the Nanopresso as a classic espresso machine. If you do so, you will need to adjust manually the coffe grind size to reach the right brewing pressure.
You can make different variations of espresso coffee with the Nanopresso from single espresso (30ml) and double (doppio) espresso shots (60mls), as well as ristretto shots which are concentrated short shots of espresso coffee.
