Wacaco Picopresso: the portable espresso machine

An ultra-compact coffee machine for professional espresso

With the Picopresso, Wacaco has reimagined the portable coffee machine by integrating a particularly wide portafilter, while maintaining a one-hand-held format! The goal? Design a travel coffee machine capable of delivering a bold double espresso with beautiful crema. No more compromises on coffee quality when you're away from home!

Despite its 10.5 cm height and 350 gr on the scale, the Wacaco Picopresso offers a rich experience thanks to its double filter (52 mm), designed to hold 18 gr of coffee, perfect for a morning double espresso or an energy boost during the day!

For technical coffee enthusiasts, Wacaco also allows bottomless extraction. You are free to choose between standard extraction with a spout or prefer the bottomless filter.

With a non-pressurized filter, an espresso-appropriate grind is required: consistent and fine. A certain mastery of espresso will therefore be required: adjusting the grind, tamping properly, controlling extraction...

What are the technical specifications of the Wacaco Picopresso machine?

The Wacaco Picopresso and all its accessories fit into a rigid case with a refined black design.
Each element finds its place: like a set of Russian dolls!

Inside the portafilter hides a folding dosing spoon. The reservoir houses a small cleaning brush as well as a tool for even distribution of the grind.

The tamper with a stainless steel base and the dosing ring in aluminum are stored in the reservoir.

The trick is to learn how to properly store everything after use, so keep the instructions nearby until you master the technique!

The pump operates using an innovative piston system, manually operated. It develops a pressure between 9 bars and 18 bars (9 bars corresponding to the international standard for espresso extraction). The system retracts to facilitate storing the Picopresso in its case.

The reservoir offers a maximum capacity of 80 ml of water. The Picopresso portable coffee machine is designed to withstand and accompany your travels, with robust components (mainly aluminum and BPA-free materials).

How to use the Wacaco Picopresso

The Wacaco Picopresso requires hot water (when hiking, plan for a quality insulated container), 16 to 18 gr of ground coffee (very fine and uniform).

Follow the instructions provided (or consult the manufacturer's video below): place your ground coffee in the filter, tamp it down, screw the filter containing the grounds under the Picopresso, pour hot water through the top then close the lid to avoid any risk of burns. Perform 8 pumps and wait 8 to 10 seconds for pre-infusion, then continue pumping until your double espresso is fully extracted.

It is recommended to use both hands to pump to obtain an optimal result, and to perform a dry run (without coffee) to preheat the device.

Regarding maintenance, a simple rinse with clear water of the components (filter and dispersion showerhead) is sufficient. Dry them with a cloth before leaving them to air dry.

Some recommendations

Remember to equip yourself with an insulated container capable of maintaining your water at temperature for the desired duration.

If you wish to grind your coffee beans directly on site during your getaways, consider bringing a manual grinder specially designed for espresso.

Our analysis:

Strengths:
  • A compact device, yet very sturdy!
  • The bottomless extraction
  • An ingenious design allowing everything to be stored in the carrying case
  • The quality of the result in the cupWe subjected each of our bean-to-cup coffee machines to tests in order to communicate their level of acoustic comfort. To discover our rating methodology, consult this article: Access it here.
Key points to remember:

  • Mastery of grind adjustment with an appropriate grinder and knowledge of espresso extraction fundamentals are essential. The double filter allows extraction of a double espresso.

The expert's verdict:

I tried the Wacaco Picopresso at home: three attempts were necessary before identifying the ideal grind size (very fine for the beans used). If you already have a manual espresso machine and a dedicated grinder, you will immediately grasp the adjustments required to achieve a successful extraction!

The Russian doll storage system seduces with its originality and relevance for travel, although several attempts were necessary to reinsert everything into the case. Keep the instructions carefully from the moment you open it!
This portable espresso machine has a decidedly James Bond look that immediately seduced me.
The handling reassures: each element demonstrates exemplary sturdiness and finish.

The bottomless extraction constitutes the additional asset (provided you correctly adjust grind and dosage...), with truly interesting results.

I suggest it to enthusiasts like me who never travel without their quality coffee!
