The Wacaco Picopresso is an ultra-compact, manually operated portable espresso maker designed to deliver true, café-style espresso anywhere. Built with a real 52 mm stainless-steel basket that holds about 18 g of coffee, it allows you to pull authentic double shots with rich crema by adding hot water and generating pressure through its hand-pump system. Despite its palm-sized design and 350 g weight, it can reach up to 18 bar of pressure—similar to full countertop machines—making it ideal for travel, camping, or small kitchens. While it doesn’t heat water and has a bit of a learning curve, its sturdy construction, included accessories, and precise coffee control make it a favorite among espresso enthusiasts who want high-quality results in a highly portable form.
