Product Information

If the portafilter head is not screwed on tightly enough, there will be spaces and air where you don’t want them, allowing the extracted espresso to seep into places it’s not intended to. If it is screwed on tightly, and you’re still having this issue, remeasure the number of grounds you’re using in your coffee filter basket – you may have overweighed your grounds. (Remember: 8 grams of fine grounds is your ideal amount.) There are a few simple steps to follow to clean your Nanopresso properly. By following these steps, you avoid common issues such as mineral build up, clogging from loose grounds, and more. Small parts – The Nanopresso is easy to use and manage. It comes with one single filter basket which can have 8 grams of ground coffee, the container, and a button to push the expresso to start working. It’s a smidgeon over 6 inches long, and weighs just 336 grams. That weighs less than a can of Coke, and just a bit taller.

The fact Wacaco’s patented pressure system can achieve that 18 bar pressure is a serious game-changer for hand-powered espresso, and it means the Nanopresso is able to compete in flavor against the top end of the market. Wacaco has done everything they could to make brewing – whether it’s espresso or coffee – as easy as it gets. One look at the Nanopresso, Minipresso, Picopresso, Cuppamoka, and Pipamoka, and that’s clear. The Nanopresso is one of the best and most versatile espresso machines. A truly unique addition to your coffee toolkit! Built around a newly patented pumping system, the Nanopresso is capable of reaching, with the help of your hands, a maximum of 18 bars (261 PSI) of pressure for unparalleled coffee extractions qualities.

The Nanopresso requires 15% less force to pump compared to previous models (1st generation Minipresso). With Nanopresso, the power is in the machine, not in your hands. After each shot, Nanopresso maintenance takes only a few seconds. When necessary, the components of the portafilter are easily separated for deep cleaning.before taking it on the road with you, spend some time familiarizing yourself with the machinery and tweaking the temperature of the water so you know what you'll be getting on the road. I'll admit to holding it upside down the first time I tried to extract an espresso - I blame not having my coffee in my bloodstream yet, lol XD. Ideal temperature for extraction is between 197-205* F, but I found that some heat gets lost in the transfer to the water filter, so I almost let my water get to a rolling boil before brewing. Thanks Simon! I’m using the Barrista Kit, works the same. Extremely tamped, (presumably) “fine” grind on the 1Presso Mini Grinder, and a steady, lovely stream. While we may be satisfied, it’s never fully satisfied, is it? Good suggestion to tinker with grind until approaching the edge of drip-drip/bitter-slow extraction is reached. Then either configure that special ‘spot’ varying tamping and/or grind. And, I imagine, removing/replacing the pressure piece. Weight – The Nanopresso is only 0.74lbs, so you can easily take it with you on your travels. It is also made of strong and sturdy material, so you don’t need to worry about breaking it.
