Overview
The Wacaco Minipresso GR is a hand pump espresso maker with no battery or electricity, built to take ground coffee and hot water and produce a small shot of espresso with crema through manual pumping.
The plastic housing is a recurring point buyers raise, since it cannot be opened for deep cleaning of the internals.
- Manual pump operation, no battery or power cord
- Built in scoop doubles as a tamper
- Compact enough for travel or camping use
Who it's for
Fits someone who wants espresso while traveling, camping, or at the office without carrying an electric machine, and who already has ground or freshly ground coffee on hand. Not a fit for anyone expecting full sized double shots or a machine that is simple to deep clean.
Pros and cons
- No battery or electricity needed, works with any ground coffee
- Compact enough to travel with, praised for portability
- Sealed plastic housing cannot be opened for deep cleaning
- Shot volume runs under a full double shot for some users
Performance notes
Ground coffee goes into the filter basket using the built in scoop, hot water is added to the tank, and pumping the piston builds the pressure that pushes water through the grounds to produce espresso with crema.
