Pixapresso Espresso Machine Electric & Portable (Dark Burgundy) | 4 Coffee Types, Fast Heat-up, 3 x 3000mAh Battery, Patented 8-16g Basket, Grounds & Capsules, Touchscreen, Travel, Camping

Just got home from a 5 day fishing trip. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the espresso and the ease of use of our pixapresso. We were able to make many espressos with preheated water. It does use up a lot of battery power when using it to heat the water. But in a crunch, it can heat up water pretty quickly and efficiently. And make several drinks before needing recharged. The picture shows my whole setup. With the nespresso pod knockoffs, we were able to fill with our own coffee grounds and also very happy and satisfied with the results using those. We also used the ground coffee option, which was also just as enjoyable. The stand I am using for our Pixapresso was purchased separately and the sticker received with the pixapresso was used to put on the stand to customize it. All the accessories were purchased through Amazon as well. Being able to customize the filter to accommodate 16 g of coffee was primarily the reason behind purchasing this particular portable espresso maker. This is the only portable espresso maker I have used so unable to compare it to how others might perform. The charging cord provided is extremely short, but it is a USB -C, and we always have many of those types of cords laying around. There are 2 other color options available, but not on Amazon it seems. I would have preferred the Olive green, but it's not a huge issue. This is also very easy to maintain and keep clean.

I love it. It makes good shots for what it is.

Purchased 6 months ago. I thought this would be great for travel and using it in the camper with the Nespresso pods. On the first 10 brewing cycles I got 8 great cups of coffee. Two brewing efforts failed. On the second 10 brewing cycles I got 2 great cups of coffee and 8 brewing failures. The system has difficulty puncturing the Nespresso pods correctly and this got worse overtime. Tried several different pods but this didn’t make a difference. Seemed like a great idea/great tech - but it didn’t pan out.

Nice little machine that makes it possible to make espresso anywhere. Using pods is easy, but grounds are a bit finicky. The funnel and tamper aren't the best and it had a hard time pushing water through the grounds. I used the same coffee and grind size as my picopresso. The controls are also not very intuitive. Sometimes you need to short press the button, sometimes you hold for 1 second, sometimes you hold for 5 seconds, and sometimes you tap the lcd screen.

Amazing product I make espresso anywhere..lol At my desk at work etc. I use blonde espresso from Starbucks and this portable 20 bar espresso machine makes the most delish espresso. easy to use but it does take like 3 mins to heat up and dispense coffee so it is not going to make quick espresso shots like a regular machine at home would But it gets the job done and produces nice crema as well.

This is the third portable Nespresso machine I’ve purchased. Spend the extra money and get this one! It is hands down the best. The cheap ones don’t work for long before they start messing up. This one is built like a tank and makes great coffee. The menu system is a bit wonky but once you figure it out, it works great!

IT has been very difficult dealing with this device. I am on vacation and the pod continues to get stuck. I am now using my OutIn instead. I purchased my Pixapresso as a replacement for the OutIn since it is smaller and more compact. But having to unscrew it so hard has become such a hassle that my wrist is hurting. It also caused a burn on my hand since so much force is needed to remove the capsule holder. I really did love this product in the beginning with all its features but the basic function of holding a nespresso pod is flawed. The capsule holder screws into place and the two halves then slide among eachother so a notch fits into a groove. With this design any bit of friction between the two halves causes a poor seal and hot water simply flows around the pod instead of through it. Then the hard part, taking the capsule holder off. It becomes so stuck that its nearly impossible to remove unless you wish to hurt a thumb tendon. I contacted support not for a warranty replacement but rather to ask how I can purchase a new capsule holder. After ofcourse offering up all of my information no such replacement is for sale and I was instead given some silly solutions such as leave it to cool down for hours before attempting to unscrew (which I tried and it didn’t work). I am going back to my OutIn. There should be a way to purchase a new pod holder and since support has not been useful I will just stop using this portable espresso maker.

Amazingly wonderful! Latte at my fingertips. Easy to use. Brews quickly if you’re using hot water, otherwise it takes just a few minutes. Extremely portable. Love the color. You get about 5 uses before you have to recharge the machine.

Después de probarla durante un tiempo, puedo decir que la WACACO es una de esas compras que tienen sentido dependiendo del uso que le vayas a dar. En mi caso la buscaba para días de playa o campo, donde si no tienes bares para pedir, te quedas sin café. Con esta cafetera tienes la posibilidad de preparar tu propio expresso donde quieras, siempre que hayas hecho la planificación de cargarla de batería y café (el agua la puedes aportar desde una botella cuando te dispongas a hacer el café). A diferencia de muchas cafeteras portátiles que dependen de tener agua caliente preparada, esta calienta el agua por sí misma. Es una comodidad enorme, aunque hay que tener claro que no es magia: si llenas el depósito con agua fría tendrás que esperar unos minutos hasta que alcance la temperatura adecuada. No es un problema, pero si buscas un café en 30 segundos antes de salir de casa, no es ese tipo de máquina. La posibilidad de usar tanto café molido como cápsulas NS es uno de sus puntos fuertes. Para el día a día, las cápsulas son lo más práctico: no manchas casi nada y el resultado es siempre parecido. Pero donde realmente se disfruta es usando café molido de calidad. Eso sí, hay que encontrar el punto correcto con la molienda y la cantidad. Un café demasiado fino puede hacer que la extracción vaya más lenta y uno demasiado grueso puede dar un resultado más aguado. Una vez ajustado, el expresso tiene buen aroma, bastante cuerpo y una crema sorprendente para ser una cafetera portátil. La presión de 20 bares está bien sobre el papel, pero lo importante es el resultado final. No esperes exactamente lo mismo que una cafetera espresso profesional de cafetería, porque el tamaño, la temperatura y la capacidad de extracción son diferentes. Aun así, comparada con otras opciones portátiles, consigue una taza mucho más cercana a un expresso real que a un simple café de viaje. Otro aspecto que me ha gustado mucho es la construcción. Está pensada para usarla y transportarla: los materiales transmiten solidez, las piezas encajan bien, el diseño es bastante práctico y compacto, y el tacto es muy agradable. El depósito, el portafiltro y las partes desmontables no tienen demasiada complicación, aunque después de cada uso recomiendo limpiarla, sobre todo si utilizas café molido, porque los restos pueden quedarse en el filtro y afectar al siguiente café. La batería de 9000 mAh cumple bien para un uso normal. Preparar varias tazas durante una salida no es un problema, pero hay que recordar que calentar agua consume bastante más energía que simplemente extraer café con agua ya caliente. Así que, hay que planificar el uso, y te puedes llevar el agua caliente en un termo si tienes que preparar varios cafés. Aunque si es el caso, también tendrás que ir con las cápsulas o café molido aparte, ya que la máquina permite transportar dentro el café justo para una o dos tazas menos cargadas. Como puntos negativos, el principal es el tamaño y el peso. No es excesivamente grande ni pesada, pero tampoco es una cafetera ultraligera para meter en cualquier mochila y olvidarte de ella. Está más pensada para llevar en el coche u oficina. Incorpora 2 vasos de plástico, uno más grande y otro más pequeño, y una cucharita que también hace las veces de prensador. Todo esto es transportable en la misma máquina de forma compacta, ya que también incorpora una bolsa de transporte. En cuanto al diseño en color verde oliva, personalmente me parece un acierto porque se sale del típico acabado negro y tiene un aspecto más cuidado. Además, el formato es bastante discreto para llevarlo de viaje sin que parezca que te has llevado hasta el café de casa. Después de usarla, mi conclusión es que no es una cafetera para todo el mundo. Si haces café siempre en casa, probablemente no le sacarás partido. Pero si eres de los que quieren tener un café decente en lugares donde normalmente no lo tendrían, es una de las opciones más completas.

Muy buena opción si te gusta el Café expresso, muy facil de usar si utilizas cápsulas NS y requiere algo de conocimiento para usarla con café molido ya que es indispensable que no quede ni muy fino ni muy gruesa la molienda y lo otro es que el tampeo sea el adecuado

Performs as expected. It's very useful to have this in the backpack when I'm on the road. The fact I can make expresso on the road is very reassuring. Neat well thought out package. Simple to use. Materials feel very premium. I like that all you need fits inside the water chamber. I opted for the travel case. It holds 6 Nespresso pods and an extra head and barista towel. Note: Definitely try and source hot water. It helps with the battery.

Very happy with the product would definitely recommend to purchase it

Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been very disappointing. During the first 2–3 uses, everything worked fine. However, with continued use, a serious issue started to appear. When using capsules (I always use original Nespresso capsules), the coffee chamber becomes vacuum-sealed after extraction. As a result, opening the capsule compartment becomes extremely difficult and requires a lot of force. It feels like the device is stuck under pressure, and even after letting it cool down — sometimes even waiting until the next day — it is still very hard to open. Because of this issue, the product has practically become unusable after only about 5 months of purchase. A coffee machine that cannot be opened easily after use is simply not functional.
