WACACO Minipresso GR, Portable Espresso Machine, Compatible Ground Coffee, Small Travel Coffee Maker, Manually Operated from Piston Action

Product Information

Weighing in at 336 grams (less than 1 pound), this is one of the smallest portable espresso machines that you will come across. Milk steamer wands: These are a popular add-on, used to heat and froth milk for lattes, cappuccinos and other creamy concoctions. If you like your coffee with milk, we recommend you either buy a machine with a steamer, or get a standalone steaming/frothing appliance to go with a machine that doesn’t have the feature. The first thing you should do is figure out what all of your needs are. Where do you envision yourself drinking espresso? Will it be easy to work with loose espresso grounds or not? Will you need something durable that can stand up to abuse, or is your espresso maker unlikely to leave the hotel room?

However, we live in a time of unprecendented coffee innovation, and for that reason there are actually quite a few travel-friendly espresso machines on the market today. The new Picopresso is superior to the Nanopresso in most ways though. The basket is a standard, non-pressurized model that can hold up to 18 grams of ground coffee. It means that you can pull an excellent 50 ml double shot. Another easy and accessible way to make your morning coffee while travelling or camping is with a cafetière, also known as a French press. Using a cafetière doesn't require any skill, yields reliably good java, and makes multiple cups, which is perfect for a trip with friends. Finally, for those who may have noticed that the Wacaco Minipresso NS2's body looks different from the previous gen model, this is because it's partially made of wheat-base polymers, making this model it a bit more eco-friendly than the Wacaco Minipresso NS. There are variations of the coffee press design itself, and how to make it, but the AeroPress way is simple, fast, and yields a coffee with less bitterness than other brew methods. Simply fix the inner tube to the outer tube, add the ground coffee and hot water, stir and attach the filter (with a paper filter placed inside) to the AeroPress.The Cafflano Kompresso is a cheap espresso maker that is also extremely portable, weighing in at less than 200 grams.

Once you have the answers to those questions, it’s a good idea to make a list of the travel espresso makers that best fit those criteria. Once you’ve done that, it’s safe to choose the cheapest model on that list. And since it’s the cheapest remaining model, it provides great value for your money. The Handpresso Wild Hybrid gives you the ability to avoid working with loose espresso grounds, which can be a lifesaver if you’re far from home, and cleaning up a spill would be a logistical disaster. While you can use loose espresso grounds with this model, you also have the option of using E.S.E pods, which are reminiscent of K-cups but designed for the express purpose of making espresso. That means you can throw pods in your bag for a trip and not have to worry about grinding or spilling espresso. It also produces up to 232 PSI, which is far more than needed for making espresso. So you can make a great cup every time. Both plastic and silicone filters are extremely lightweight, durable, and simple to use. In fact, all you need to make excellent coffee is a paper filter, a measuring scoop, and the ability to boil water. All-in-one coffee makers will also includea hand grinder, drip kettle and metal pour-over filter, all within an insulated mug - although this may take a little practice to perfect.

Similar to other Minipresso models, the Wacaco Minipresso NS2's parts all fit together. This includes the mini cup into which you'll pour and drink the espresso from, a drip tray and the cleaning brush – the last two are small enough to store in the water tank when it isn't in use. It’s also easy to clean up after use since it disassembles into multiple pieces, all of which are safe to clean. The only real gripe we have with this model is that it seems designed to drive you toward upgrades. It only produces one shot of espresso at a time, so if you want more, you’ll have to upgrade the water tank, which ultimately keeps this model out of first place. The Flair Espresso Maker combines a portable frame with an elegant design to deliver the best portable espresso experience overall. This is a manual press, which means you provide all the power needed to turn hot water and ground coffee into the perfect shot of espresso. It comes with a detachable brewing head, so it’s easy to heat up and to clean. Most parts in this portable espresso maker are made from either stainless steel or aluminum, meaning it’s a great mix of lightweight and sturdy materials that should be long-lasting and easy to transport.
