WACACO Minipresso GR2, Espresso Machine for Outdoor Compatible Ground Coffee, Portable Coffee Maker 18 Bar Manually Operated, Espresso Maker On The Go, Ultra-Small For Travel Camping Car Fishing

Great product makes a nice coffe and very portable

Initially, I was on the fence with this one. The size was small, but the coffee quality wasn't impressive. I almost returned it. Then I decided to give it a chance and took it with me for an overnight business trip. I don't know why but every time I make coffee, it gets better. I guess you definitely need practice with this. I have decided to keep it as I often have business trips and hotel rooms don't always have a coffee machine. Surprisingly small, too.

Love this, my constant travel companion. No more rubbish hotel coffee

Works ok not brilliant

Great little machine, makes a fantastic espresso. Ideal for coffee at work if the canteen is pants! Comes apart easily for cleaning too

Eventually the pressure causes the basket to break out of the unit (check other reviews). Once this happens it will either get stuck or leak. The company does not honour the warranty by ignoring emails.

Looks nice and does the job

This compact little unit is capable of making espresso coffee when and about by supposedly storing hot water in the top, and freshly ground or pre-ground coffee in the bottom. There is no battery or mains charging required as the coffee is brewed manually by using the built-in pressure pump. Included in the unit is drip tray, coffee spoon (to hold the coffee initially), and brush which are all stored in the top of the unit when it is not in use, together with a small cup, and coffee strainer, which can be adjusted to serve 8g or 12g of coffee to vary the strength, both of which are attached to the bottom of the unit. A small storage pouch is also provided. To use the unit the various parts need to be removed from it, and then the coffee spoon is filled with coffee and the brush used to remove any excess and then strainer is placed over the top and whole thing inverted so that the coffee ends up in the strainer. The coffee can then be tamped down using the base of the coffee spoon, dependant on how coarse the coffee is. I used pre-ground and the coffee is quite coarse so tamping it down could not be done. The strainer can then be screwed back into the base of the main unit and the coffee cup pushed on. I then filled the top with boiling water to the appropriate mark and replaced the main cover cap and tightened it to ensure it was water tight. To see how good it was in retaining the heat, I left the unit for an hour and then checked whether the water was still hot, but unfortunately it was only really lukewarm, so quite disappointing. There is supposed be some thermal insulation but clearly insufficient to keep the water hot, which would be essential when preparing the unit before taking out and about. The coffee can be dispensed into coffee cup by first unlocking the pump at the side of the by turning it anti-clockwise. Once released it is now a matter of pumping the unit in the vertical position while holding it over the cup. This worked fine and the coffee was readily dispensed without issue, but of course it was much colder than it should have been, had the unit retained the heat from the boiling water. So overall this should have been quite a clever little unit and perfect for espresso lovers but regrettably it is not really fit for travelling since it couldn’t retain the heat from the boiling water so disappointing.

Géniale pour le voyage ou le camping. Facile à utiliser, pression efficace et café délicieux. Compacte, solide et très pratique.

今まで手動・電動いくつかの製品を使った中で、美味しくて手入れも簡単な最高の商品だと思う。 同じカプセルなのに、なぜかクレマも多くとっても美味しいコーヒーがいれられる。 パーツも少なく、手入れも簡単。 こんなに美味しくなるのかと少し感動してしまった。 調子に乗って粉でいれるタイプの商品も追加で買ってみたが、こちらは手入れも大変で味も凡庸。 残念ながら御蔵入りしたままで全く使う気が起こらない。 注意点としては、カプセルの蓋になる黒いパーツが滑るし圧力で取りにくくなるので、瓶の蓋を取る時などに使う滑り止めは必須だと思う。

Nach einem Monat täglicher Nutzung kann ich dieses Gerät guten Gewissens allen Kaffeeliebhabern empfehlen, die unterwegs nicht auf Qualität verzichten möchten. Espresso-Qualität Mit wirklich fein gemahlenem Kaffee (frisch gemahlen oder speziell für Espresso) bereitet die Minipresso einen aromatischen Espresso mit schöner, dichter Crema zu. Der Geschmack ist überraschend gut – intensiv mit deutlichen Nuancen der verwendeten Kaffeemischung. Erfahrungen & Tipps – Kaffee muss sehr fein gemahlen sein – mein erster Versuch mit normalem Filterkaffee endete mit einem wässrigen Aufguss – Wasser sollte heiß sein (ca. 90 °C) – Vorwärmen der Tasse empfohlen – Kaffee gut andrücken – das ist der Schlüssel zu einer perfekten Crema Vorteile ✔ Einfache Handhabung – nach ein paar Versuchen geht es flüssig ✔ Robuste Verarbeitung – keine Lecks ✔ Leichte Reinigung – nur Wasser nötig ✔ Perfekte Größe – passt in jede Tasche ✔ Vollständig unabhängig – kein Strom erforderlich Einschränkungen ➖ Erfordert speziell gemahlenen Kaffee ➖ Bereitet nur eine Portion pro Durchgang zu ➖ Kein integriertes Mahlwerk Ideal für: – reisende Kaffeeliebhaber – Fans minimalistischer Lösungen – alle, die eine Alternative zu Instantkaffee suchen Hervorragende Espressoqualität für die Größe – erfordert aber Vorbereitung und etwas Übung. Trotz kleiner Einschränkungen ist sie zu meinem ständigen Reisebegleiter geworden.

Es un excelente producto, se requiere un poco de práctica para usarlo. Yo le hecho agua caliente al tanque antes del primer proceso y la regreso para calentarla de nuevo porque la primera vez me salió tibio el café, de esa forma se calienta bien y sale mejor. No soy experto, para mí sabe delicioso. También depende, obvio, del café que uses y del molido del café, pero tomando en cuenta todo eso, es un excelente producto.
