WACACOMinipresso GR, Portable Espresso Machine, Compatible Ground Coffee, Hand Coffee Make, Travel Gadgets, Manually Operated, Perfect for Camping

Damn, for a device that does not run on electricity or batteries, this makes some really ASTONISHING espressso coffee! The instructions on the box itself was super easy to understand. Got some french roast coffee powder and hot water ready, and started pumping out espresso coffee within minutes of receiving the box through Amazon! Easy to tell that coffee is coming out as you feel extra pressure on the device and the pump. You will know its done when the pressure gets back to being 'too easy'. The flavor of the coffee is dictated by the coffee powder used and my french roast espresso turned out super tasty! Cleaning this device was a breeze as you run everything under water. And once done, the device is put back in its original shape and its a very tiny looking cylinder thats driven by manual power to brew coffee! HUGE highlight for traveling and for times when you need a quick coffee fix and you are not near a coffee maker or a coffee shop.

Bought to use while on tour.Shockingly good espresso—photo is after I took a few sips but the crema is great, coffee not bitter, super easy to use.

Love this machine! Perfect for bringing on a trip. Brewed really great shots, I was super impressed!

The product works great and is easy to use. It seems pretty durable despite the plastic design. Doesn't seem to hard to clean. I ran hot water through it without coffee grounds to help clean residue from the bottom where espresso comes out. I used a manual burr grinder and aimed for a fine ground something between the coarse ground for an aero press/French press and extra fine regular espresso grind.The only con I have with it is the small volume of espresso it makes. Tried running water through a second run with the same wet grounds but it came out like weakish coffee. Not quite enough to have a satisfying beverage from one run alone. However it pairs perfectly with an aero press if you want to add one or two runs of espresso to it.

I couldn’t be more impressed with this product! From the moment I started using it, I could tell it was made with quality, precision, and care. It exceeds expectations in every way—delivering exactly what was promised and then some. The performance is top-notch, the design is sleek and intuitive, and the durability is unmatched.What truly sets this product apart is its reliability and ease of use. It has made my daily routine more convenient, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. Whether you’re on the fence or actively searching for something of this nature, don’t hesitate—this is a game-changer!Highly recommended!

Santa brought me a minipresso and I am thrilled! The shot it pulls is rich with beautiful crema, and it made me realize that the fancy machine I use every morning at home is falling short. Compared with the over-hyped aeropress, the minipresso is much less messy and produces a far superior result. I am extremely happy with this machine.

Pretty awesome portable espresso maker! Perfect for on the go pick me ups! This is a must have if you are constantly on the go and don't want to spend the money on high end machines! Recommend brewing with flavored coffee grinds for extra flavor.

I like it however I see many design flaws. First it’s plastic! I was sort of hoping it was some sort of metal. At least the tank where you put the hot water. The design flaws I find is cleaning. You can’t open the housing part where the expresso comes out. So who knows how much that will eventually build up with old coffee stains, perhaps making the espresso tasting bad (eventually though). You can only add clean water as if you were making espresso and try to clean it as best as possible. The other flaws, doesn’t keep the coffee that hot really, also it’s not enough espresso, it seems like a little less than a shot. Plus if you want to make more, it’s sort of best to let everything dry. I suppose you make another 3/4 shot when everything is wet. Also drying takes rather long! You have to shake and make sure all the water is out before putting it back together. But if you are traveling you can wait until you get home. Or just leave it open to air out. I do like the taste of the espresso shot, you get that cream too which is very nice. Plus the coffee isn’t burnt or so bitter, unless you have old beans of course. So I’m pleased with that. I think it’s a start for a decent design but I do think they should fix some of the flaws. We’ve been using this everyday and so far the press part works fine. I can see this could be difficult for someone with arthritis. But as far as the quality of the espresso, it is nice although I wish the coffee stayed sort of hot. This serves a purpose, prob best for traveling or camping, maybe not for everyday usage. I gave it 3 stars because of design flaws. Maybe I would have given it 3.5 stars if I could. I would even pay more if this were made out of some sort of safe metal. Best
