But I love it so much I bought two! One to keep at work. I'm not a trained barista or massive coffee connoisseur. But I appreciate good coffee. I doubt there is a better way to get a decent espresso shot for cheaper than this. I got my first one on prime day and ended up paying £75. That's really hard to beat. Especially as it's still good value at £119. The Instagram friendly packaging was nice... but completely wasted on me, as it just got ripped open and responsibly sorted into the appropriate bins for disposal ;) I got the IMS basket for it. Maybe it's better... people who know more than me seem to think so, so why not. The original basket definitely fits better, although the IMS works fine despite the awkward fit. I can't speak to how well this will last, there is a lot of plastic, so it could crack I guess, but this doesn't seem to be a thing just yet, looking at other reviews. I think this is a brilliant coffee tool, it allows just the right amount of engagement and experimentation to be intriguing and dare I say, fun to use. I have definitely been able to impress people with the quality of shot this can produce. There is a "but" though... you need a good grinder. It's very sensitive to grind size and quality. You'll be able to squeeze a decent tasting shot either way. But if you're after a decent crema, you need to dial in your grind size. I initially ground too coarse and had no crema, then I ground too fine (Turkish) and it wouldn't push water through, there is a pressure bypass, so it will just cycle water back into the chamber if there is too much pressure in the pump. Then I hit the goldilocks and got some beautiful golden crema. Very happy. I feel like the trick is short, quick pumps to build good, consistent pressure. To sum up, it's pretty affordable (though that's subjective) it's easy to get great results. But if you invest some time and effort, you can really produce some amazing espresso - which can be very rewarding. Making this a great purchase in my opinion. Review: The best portable espresso device - Ever - The Picopresso is absolute genius and the closest I can get to a portable device that delivers barista quality espresso. I own multiple portable espresso devices and this one leaves them all standing. I also have a pretty hefty espresso setup at home (yes I know a bit sad) and I therefore have high expectations when it comes to my daily shot or two. The Picopresso if used correctly can deliver trully exceptional results. When my home machine went in for its service a few weeks ago I used the Picopresso every day and was more than happy. However ,there are a few howevers. You need a good quality espresso grinder for your (fresh - dark/espresso roast) beans and preferably some scales so that you use the same amount of grind every time. I use approx 15g. You can go up to 18g but thats a matter of taste. Properly tamp the beans with the funnel removed from the basket. Ideally replace the supplied basket with a 51mm full size basket (La Pavoni Europiccola baskets fit) - but only if you are as fussy as me. Most importantly pre-heat every element before you make your coffee otherwise the results are going to be lukewarm. Avoid getting water inside the plunger. There's some great youtube videos out there. It's a bit of a faff when you start but well worth it once you get used to it. I regularly take mine to work with my coffee pre-ground. ## Features - With ultra-fine grind, the Picopresso produces emblematic creamy shots with dense flavors and stunning aromas. Picopresso is the most compact and pro-oriented of our portable espresso machines. - Thanks to the wide commercial coffee basket and super-fine coffee grounds, Picopresso produces an extraction akin to a lever espresso machine: rich, syrupy, and balanced. The authentic cafe-quality espresso will rival any expensive high-end machine. - This specialty coffee espresso machine features a naked portafilter, so users will see delicious creamy espresso flowing directly from a standard 52mm 18 grams stainless steel filter basket during the brewing process. - Manual operation only. No battery/electricity need. Designed for reliability, the Picopresso is the ultimate portable espresso machine. Made from metals and robust materials its crafting quality is second to none. - Noted: Commercial pre-ground coffee will not work well to extract a nice espresso with crema. The use of fresh coffee bean is highly recommanded for best result. Dialing-in (adjusting the grind size) is part of the process to achieve perfect extraction. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B097DCNLL6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 142,025 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 246 in Coffee & Espresso Machines | | Brand Name | WACACO | | Capacity | 80 Millilitres | | Coffee Input Type | Ground | | Coffee Maker Type | Espresso Machine | | Colour | Grey | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,324) | | Exterior Finish | Stainless Steel | | Filter Type | Reusable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04897066230764 | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Included Components | Filter, pad, shovel, brush, dispensing tool, funnel, protective cover | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 10.6D x 7.8W x 7.1H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Wacaco 1078 Picopresso Espresso Machine, Black | | Item Weight | 349 g | | Manufacturer | WACACO | | Material | Stainless Steel, Plastic, 100% BPA free plastic | | Model Name | Picopresso | | Model Number | PPGR | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Instruction manual (English language not guaranteed) | | Part Number | WAC-Pic | | Power Source | manual | | Product Warranty | Wacaco company limited warrants the picopresso against defects that are due to faulty materials or workmanship for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase.

If so then how long please?** A: As with all products of this type there is a 1 year warranty. I recently got a replacement shower screen rubber from Wacaco 7 months after purchase. **Q: Can you make a double shot in one go.. or have to do two singles ? Thanks** A: The volume of '1' shot is about 30g using 17.5g of ground coffee so equal to a double. **Q: Hi. I have a good grinder for espresso but is this product easy to use (and pump)? Or does it become annoying, time consuming and inconvenient? Thanks** A: Easy to use and makes excellent coffee, but I only use mine when travelling. You do need to weigh your coffee, 17.5g for mine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun to use *by R***Y on 21 July 2025* I haven't had mine long. But I love it so much I bought two! One to keep at work.

Once I got a grinder designed specifically for espresso bingo! Lovely crema and perfect extraction. The good points are 1) small size so you can store it in a drawer and not have it staring at you all day from the worktop 2) small enough to take it with you on trips. But but but you will have to have access to hot water so camping trips and B&B are ok but one day hiking trips will require lugging a stove and a kettle. It may not be an issue for you. Overall, very happy with my Picopresso. Way better espresso than I get from most coffee shops in London. It also compares favourably with Nanopresso. Go and get one if you can. ## Frequently Bought Together - WACACO Picopresso Portable Espresso Maker Bundled with Protective Case, Pro-level Specialty Coffee Machine, Compatible Ultra-fine Grind, Manually Operated Travel Coffee Maker - WACACO Picopresso Protective Sleeves, Accessory for Picopresso, 2 Protective Sleeves, Black and Brown - WACACO Exagrind, Manual Coffee Grinder, Stainless Steel Conical Burr, High Precision Adjustable Coffee Bean Grinder with Hand Crank, Handheld Portable Grinder for Espresso, Pour-over, Camping, Travel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/379591753-picopresso](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/379591753-picopresso) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
