Review on ☕ Wacaco Minipresso NS: Portable Espresso Machine for Nespresso Original Capsules - Ideal for Travel, Camping, and Coffee Lovers by Buddy Colbert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome Travel Espresso

Perfect for on the go. I think it could be a bit smaller and lighter but I won't complain too much about that. My only reservation is whether I can keep the nozzle reasonably clean as it is not possible to take it apart to clean it. So far it seems relatively easy to wash off. I was a bit skeptical but I've made half a dozen espressos so far and they're every bit as good as the ones I get from my Nespresso machine. Here are some tips: If you have grip problems, for example if you have arthritis, you will probably find it too difficult to squeeze the pump. It takes about 20 or 30 puffs to complete a shot and you have to do it twice because you have to do it once with plain hot water to heat everything up. Machine before brewing once, your espresso will be cold. I also recommend warming up your mug. If you've used a Nespresso coffee machine, the pump speed is intuitive. Just pump fast enough to match the flow and you'll get the right brew time and a great shot. The Seattle coffee maker has a review on YouTube if you would like to see it in action before using it. All in all, this is my new favorite travel coffee maker and I won't be taking my coffee grinder, grinder, and Aeropress on trips anymore. Hooray! I am attaching a photo of the frame I just made including a kitchen knife for the scale.
