Incredible!
Damn, for a device that does not run on electricity or batteries, this makes some really ASTONISHING espressso coffee! The instructions on the box itself was super easy to understand. Got some french roast coffee powder and hot water ready, and started pumping out espresso coffee within minutes of receiving the box through Amazon! Easy to tell that coffee is coming out as you feel extra pressure on the device and the pump. You will know its done when the pressure gets back to being ‘too easy’. The flavor of the coffee is dictated by the coffee powder used and my french roast espresso turned out super tasty! Cleaning this device was a breeze as you run everything under water. And once done, the device is put back in its original shape and its a very tiny looking cylinder thats driven by manual power to brew coffee! HUGE highlight for traveling and for times when you need a quick coffee fix and you are not near a coffee maker or a coffee shop.

Excellent customer service after the outlet gauge broke.
UPDATED July 2nd 2016:I am happy to report that my broken part has been replaced by Wacaco and they honored the one year guarantee even when the Amazon returning policy had already expired. Costumer service was very courteous, informative and efficient, so just for that alone they deserve 5 stars, but just for the time I lost trying to fix the problem I’m giving them 4 stars only. The spare part took a while to arrive (about 25 days or so since the day I was shipped), this is understood since the spare part came from Hong Kong. TIP: Buy directly from Wacaco.com and avoid limited returning policy by Amazon. (Thanks to one of the other reviewers for providing me with the necessary info to solve my problem. As simple as looking for customer support at Wacaco.com)Now, let’s talk about the product itself: As I said on my initial review I was very happy with this product until the day it broke. Now that the problem has been solved I can give you an objective review free of frustration. If you have seen the other reviews, someone said DO NOT DAMP. That person is totally right! This warning is written in the owners manual of the MiniPresso, but apparently not big enough since many of us have ignored the warning maybe inspired by the videos out there. Let me repeat it. DO NOT DAMP. This small machine creates enough internal pressure for your coffee. No need to damp at all. Just grind your coffee very fine and put a scoop in the filter. Let it stand somehow loose. Start pumping slowly about 7 times to let the hot water pass through and let it rest for a couple of seconds, then proceed to pump letting pass between 2 to 3 seconds in each pumping. IF THE PUMPING GETS TOO HARD DON’T FORCE IT. THAT MEANS YOUR COFFE POWDER WAS SET TOO TIGHT AND IT IS BLOCKING THE FILTER TINY HOLES. THAT CREATES EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BREAKING THE PART AS I DID. Just open the machine and reload it again making sure the powder is loose.THE GOOD:The flavor of your coffee will be as good as if you were using more expensive equipment. I have tried as many as 7 different manual coffee makers and this is by far the one that produces the most concentrated flavor and thickest texture of the extraction. It is very portable. Perfect for camping. Some reviewers have said it is difficult to clean. I disagree. If you keep yourself organized the cleaning can be fairly simple.THE NOT SO GOOD.This machine was created for personal use, so the amount of liquid you get is smaller compared to other machines. Even with the extended water container (sold separately) you will get more water but the filter capacity will be still the same, meaning your crema will be more diluted and the flavor won’t be as concentrated. Luckily for me when my first machine broke I got a second one as a present and now that I got the first one repaired I have two and that makes it easier for me to prepare a second cup of coffee right away. If you can afford a second one, go for it. You’ll see how big of a difference it makes to have two. Otherwise keep in mind this machine is not designed for people who are in a rush and expect to drink a litter of coffee before starting their day.THE BADCurrent instructional videos suggest damping the coffee powder which can damaged the machine. Spare parts are not available for direct purchase in the website directly, which makes it somehow difficult and time consuming to replace if something goes wrong.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-I was so happy with my mini presso machine until it broke. Very portable and practical to take with me on camping trips. Yesterday the rim that holds the pressure rubber ring broke. I visited the Wako website for spare parts but they don’t sell them. Meaning my machine is useless now. I don’t know if I want to buy one again. I’m very disappointed. Amazon return policy is even shorter than the guarantee on this thing. I’ll try to send it back to the manufacturer since the guarantee has not expired and I’ll keep you posted.

Great for Camping!
saw a ton of different makes and models for a portable espresso machine. Every other make or model i saw, you need it to be charged or plugged in. This little guy is absolutely PERFECT for camping! no need to charge, no need to plug it in, just bring grinded brew of your choice and go to town on the campsite. We made iced espresso drinks, hot, and the creme that gets generated is spot on. I got rid of my stanley french press, it was so messy and it takes up more room in comparison to. well done, this thing is awesome.

I like it howeverâ¦
I like it however I see many design flaws. First itâs plastic! I was sort of hoping it was some sort of metal. At least the tank where you put the hot water. The design flaws I find is cleaning. You canât open the housing part where the expresso comes out. So who knows how much that will eventually build up with old coffee stains, perhaps making the espresso tasting bad (eventually though). You can only add clean water as if you were making espresso and try to clean it as best as possible. The other flaws, doesnât keep the coffee that hot really, also itâs not enough espresso, it seems like a little less than a shot. Plus if you want to make more, itâs sort of best to let everything dry. I suppose you make another 3/4 shot when everything is wet. Also drying takes rather long! You have to shake and make sure all the water is out before putting it back together. But if you are traveling you can wait until you get home. Or just leave it open to air out. I do like the taste of the espresso shot, you get that cream too which is very nice. Plus the coffee isnât burnt or so bitter, unless you have old beans of course. So Iâm pleased with that. I think itâs a start for a decent design but I do think they should fix some of the flaws. Weâve been using this everyday and so far the press part works fine. I can see this could be difficult for someone with arthritis. But as far as the quality of the espresso, it is nice although I wish the coffee stayed sort of hot. This serves a purpose, prob best for traveling or camping, maybe not for everyday usage. I gave it 3 stars because of design flaws. Maybe I would have given it 3.5 stars if I could. I would even pay more if this were made out of some sort of safe metal. Best

Loved it
My wife and I took this little gem backpacking as we love our coffee, we had the best coffee, simple to use and clean. I would highly recommend this product to anyone

Makes great espresso! Convenient for travel , easy to use and clean.Bought this for my husband for Christmas who travels for work, just like most he needs his caffeine, he absolutely loves it. Makes the perfect coffee! (If paired with the right coffe grinds of course) purchased the ‘Kicking Horse coffee – Kick ass Dark roast’.
Alexis –
Excelente calidad en los materiales aun siendo de plastico, se siente firme y robusta. Hace falta un poco de mayor capacidad ya que solo se puede preparar una carga de expresso por carga, pero eso se puede solucionar comprando el Batista Kit. No tengo queja alguna, que para ser una maquina de expresso tan pequeña, vale mucho la pena.
