Instant coffee? Yuck. Nobody really wants to start their day with that. Fortunately, Wacaco’s compact and colourful Nanopresso Elements portable coffee machine puts a decent cup of joe in your hands, whether you’re waking up in a tent or a hotel room. The easy to use hand-pump system can reach 18 bars (261 PSI) of pressure in seconds – the key to a rich, smooth espresso. Operation is super simple. Just tamp a couple of scoops of fresh, finely ground coffee into the filter basket. Screw on the portafilter and add hot water to the water tank. Turn the unit upside down over a cup, twist the piston and start pumping to deliver a perfect espresso, every time. Maintenance is just as easy, as all the parts are easily separated for cleaning. This version is also supplied with a durable case to keep it safe in your pack, suitcase or duffel.
The Wacaco story started with a bad cup of coffee. In fact, it started with a truly terrible cup of coffee.
Back in 2013, industrial design graduate Hugo Cailleton was staying in a mid-range hotel on a business trip. He ordered his customary morning espresso, but what arrived was abysmal. Disappointed by this experience, he decided there and then to create a portable espresso machine that would give people access to great coffee wherever they were – on the trail, at a campsite or in a city-centre hotel.
What followed is a classic tale of ingenuity, hard work and perseverance. Hugo built more than ten prototypes to test different mechanisms of coffee extraction. He sought feedback from friends, focus groups and industry professionals. The process took him back to the drawing board more than a few times. But twenty months after that fateful business trip, the Minipresso was born.
Today, the original Minipresso sits alongside the Nanopresso, Pipamoka and a range of accessories designed for travellers, commuters and outdoor lovers. They all put great coffee in your hands, giving you the ability to enjoy full-flavoured espresso or filter coffee anytime, anywhere.
