Review on Wacaco Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker - Upgraded Version of Minipresso, 18 Bar Pressure Manual Coffee Maker - Travel Gadgets for Ground Coffee, Ideal for Camping by Chad Siofele

Let me start by saying if you're a backpacker or backpacker and can sip espresso on an invigorating morning at 10,000 feet while breathing in the mountain air. It's always a 5 star start to the day. So this is a fantastic little device to do just that. However, if your fingers are frozen, it's best to warm them up first, as it takes a lot of strength. I recommend getting a barista kit with two 12-ounce jars and one 6-ounce jar that you can pack ahead of time. Your first cups will be much lighter and you can spend the rest of the day sipping coffee bags while your fingers and brain work. Is it as good as fresh from your barista? no Is there a lot of cream? Yes. Is that a real cream? No, this is a simulation. But remember, you just climbed out of a tent on 40F Street and are sipping an espresso at 10,000 feet. Come on! It's a bomb when you put things in perspective. It's easy to clean. Do not fill the second cup coffee container as it will be wet. So first take a small microfiber to dry it and you should be fine. A small spoon serves as a tamper. I clamp it to hold it tight. The actual tamper in the barista kit works much better. In short it's not cheap and I hope all the valves will last at least a year but I doubt it will as it takes a lot of pressure and it is a lot of pressure. but still plastic. Buy a suitcase (which really should be part of the package as it's clearly made for travellers). If you go out of your way and buy all the accessories, you'll get over $100. If it lasts and lasts 100 shots you have a great little machine at a very reasonable price.
