xTake pro-level espresso on the go with WACACO Picopresso
The WACACO Picopresso is a compact, pro-grade espresso machine designed for travelers, campers, and busy mornings away from a full cafe. It embraces an ultra-fine grind and a wide 18g commercial basket to help you coax dense flavors and aromatic oils from your coffee. With a naked portafilter, you can visually monitor crema as it forms, giving you instant feedback on your technique. The result is a shot with body, balance, and a café-like aroma, all without electricity or external power sources.
Designed for reliability, the Picopresso relies on durable metal construction and precise tolerances. It’s manually operated, which means you control every stage of extraction. Fresh beans and careful dialing-in—adjusting the grind size to taste—are part of the process for best results. Not every setup will produce crema with pre-ground coffee, so the latest guidance is to start with freshly ground beans and fine tune the grind to your preference.
