{"product_id":"wacaco-picopresso-portable-espresso-maker","title":"Wacaco Picopresso Portable Espresso Maker","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Wacaco Picopresso is a hand-powered, barista-grade portable espresso maker designed for coffee enthusiasts who want full control over every variable in their shot. Built around a standard 52mm naked portafilter and an 18g stainless steel basket, the Picopresso produces rich, syrupy double espresso at up to 18 bar of pressure, with no electricity required and no pressurized shortcuts. It ships as a single configuration and weighs 350g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBrew Like a Pro, Anywhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Picopresso is built around the same wide-basket geometry found in commercial lever machines. A 52mm filter basket holds 18g of ultra-fine ground coffee (a true double-shot dose), and the naked portafilter exposes the extraction directly so you can watch the shot develop and learn from every pull. That visibility is not cosmetic: seeing channeling, uneven flow, or a thin stream tells you immediately whether your grind, dose, or tamp needs adjusting. The result of a dialed-in shot is an extraction described as rich, syrupy, and balanced, with the density and crema associated with lever espresso machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePressure Without a Power Source\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Picopresso's hand-powered piston system reaches a maximum of 18 bar (261 psi). During extraction, applying roughly 13 kg of force to the knob, most easily done by holding the unit with two hands, drives water through the puck at the 9–12 bar range that produces crema. The process runs from preinfusion through full extraction in around 30 seconds. Because the Picopresso does not heat water, you supply boiling water directly to the 80ml chamber, which also means there is no warm-up time and no battery to charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompact Build, Durable Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 350g and 71 x 78 x 106mm, the Picopresso fits in a jacket pocket or the top pouch of a backpack. The construction combines aluminum and stainless steel with BPA-free plastics (PA66, PP, TPV, silicone), and all plastic parts in contact with food comply with FDA, EU, RoHS, LFGB, and GB food-contact safety standards. A protective carrying case is included in the box, making it travel-ready out of the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e52mm naked portafilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e standard commercial basket diameter, 18g capacity, exposes extraction for real-time feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18 bar maximum pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-powered piston reaches 261 psi; target extraction range is 9–12 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo electricity required:\u003c\/strong\u003e fill the 80ml chamber with boiling water and pump, with no battery, no cord, and no warm-up needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBPA-free, food-safe materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e complies with FDA, EU, RoHS, LFGB, and GB food-contact standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete kit in the box:\u003c\/strong\u003e includes tamper, scoop, brush, distribution tool, funnel, and protective case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and lightweight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350g and 71 x 78 x 106mm, fits in a hand or a jacket pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDimensions (net)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e71 x 78 x 106mm (2.8 x 3.07 x 4.17 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (net)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e350g (12.35 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWater capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e80ml (2.7 fl oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBasket diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e52mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGround coffee capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18g (double espresso)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18 bar (261 psi)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRecommended grind\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eUltra-fine\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePortafilter type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNaked (non-pressurized)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterials\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eAluminum, stainless steel, PA66, PP, TPV, silicone (all BPA-free food-contact plastics)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSafety certifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFDA, EU, RoHS, LFGB, GB\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIn the box\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePicopresso, double filter basket, tamper, scoop, brush, distribution tool, funnel, protective case, multi-language instruction book, warranty card, Wacaco sticker\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Picopresso suits home brewers, travelers, and specialty coffee enthusiasts who want to pull a genuine double espresso shot without a countertop machine. It rewards buyers who are willing to learn grind adjustment, dosing, and tamping, because the non-pressurized basket means technique directly determines shot quality, and that hands-on process is the point. It is equally at home on a kitchen counter as in a hotel room or campsite, provided you have a source of boiling water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Picopresso does not heat water, so it is not suited to situations where boiling water is unavailable. It does not use a pressurized portafilter head, so buyers expecting a forgiving, grind-agnostic machine will find the learning curve steep. The 80ml water chamber and 18g basket produce a single double shot per fill and are not designed for back-to-back rounds for a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat kind of espresso does the Picopresso produce?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Picopresso uses a wide 52mm commercial coffee basket and ultra-fine grounds to produce an extraction comparable to a lever espresso machine: rich, syrupy, and balanced, with dense crema. Shot quality depends directly on grind size, dose, and tamping technique, since the portafilter is non-pressurized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Picopresso heat water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Picopresso does not heat water. To brew, fill the 80ml chamber with boiling water before pumping. This keeps the unit fully hand-powered and requires no electricity, but it does mean a kettle or other hot-water source is a prerequisite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow much force does pumping require?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eAt the Picopresso's maximum of 18 bar (261 psi), pumping requires approximately 13 kg (28.66 lbs) of force on the knob. Holding the Picopresso with two hands, as shown in the included instruction guide, makes applying that force straightforward for most users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the portafilter use a pressurized head?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Picopresso uses a non-pressurized naked portafilter. Grind size must be dialed in carefully, because finer or coarser adjustments directly affect extraction flavor. The non-pressurized design is what allows the Picopresso to produce espresso comparable to commercial lever machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is included in the box?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Picopresso ships with the espresso maker, a double filter basket, tamper, scoop, brush, distribution tool, funnel, protective carrying case, a multi-language instruction book, a warranty card, and a Wacaco sticker. No separate grinder or kettle is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do you clean the Picopresso?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Picopresso is not dishwasher safe and not microwave safe. Cleaning is straightforward: rinse the coffee basket and shower head under warm running water, wipe the body with a damp cloth, and allow all parts to dry separately before reassembling or storing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wacaco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68229875531997,"sku":"WAC-102005.00002","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3315\/1709\/files\/Picopresso-306-PNG-LD.png?v=1792445506","url":"https:\/\/coffeeroastco.com\/ja\/products\/wacaco-picopresso-portable-espresso-maker","provider":"CoffeeRoast Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
