Wacaco models we've reviewed
Our top-rated Wacaco is the Wacaco Nanopresso: the backpack espresso pump, 80/100.
80/100Wacaco Nanopresso
The backpack espresso pump
A 0.74 lb hand pump that makes a small, crema-topped shot anywhere you can get hot water. It is a travel tool, not a substitute for a counter machine, and the shots lean sour if you skip the preheat.
Price $64.90
71/100Wacaco Picopresso
The palm-sized espresso maker
A 0.77 lb hand pump that makes proper, textured espresso anywhere you can boil water. It asks for a good grinder, a weighed dose and patience while you learn it.
Price $129.90
