The Wacaco Minipresso GR2 is a hand-powered portable espresso maker for pre-ground coffee, producing espresso at up to 18 bar of pressure without electricity or batteries. Weighing 285 g and standing 125 mm tall, it fits in a jacket pocket, backpack, or handbag. It is available in three colours: Gray Olive, Copper Clay, and Golden Ochre.
The Minipresso GR2 reaches a maximum extraction pressure of 18 bar (261 psi), which is comparable to the operating pressure of traditional capsule espresso machines. A manual pump-driven system keeps water at the recommended extraction temperature as it travels the short distance from the integrated water tank to the coffee chamber, producing a rich espresso with a compact crema layer. The pressurised portafilter design is what makes that crema possible in a hand-powered device: it maintains back-pressure through the puck in the same way a spring-loaded group head does in a countertop machine.
The Minipresso GR2 features a patented adjustable basket that accepts either 8 g or 12 g of coffee grounds, letting you dial between a lighter, shorter pull and a bolder, fuller shot without carrying extra hardware. A built-in dosing funnel, scoop, and brush are included so the entire workflow, from dosing to tamping to cleanup, happens with what is already in the box. A drip tray catches any drips at the outlet, keeping the brewing surface clean whether you are at a campsite picnic table or an airport gate.
The Minipresso GR2 outer shell incorporates 20% biomass material, specifically wheat-composed polymers, reducing the proportion of conventional plastic compared to its predecessor. Logos and text are moulded directly into the parts rather than printed or labelled separately, which eliminates a secondary manufacturing step and the consumables it requires. The device runs entirely by hand, so it draws no electricity during use. Food-contact plastic components are BPA-free and comply with LFGB and FDA regulations.

The Minipresso GR2 suits travellers, hikers, commuters, and anyone who wants real espresso away from a power source. Its compact size and included carrying pouch make it practical for backpacks and carry-on luggage, and the adjustable basket accommodates both lighter and stronger preferences. It works with any pre-ground coffee and is straightforward enough for first-time espresso brewers.
The Minipresso GR2 does not heat water; you must supply hot water separately, which makes it unsuitable for situations where no hot water source is available. It produces a single shot per fill (water capacity 80 ml) and is not suited to brewing multiple consecutive drinks quickly. It is not dishwasher safe.
The Minipresso GR2 is entirely hand-powered and requires no electricity, no battery, and no charging. Pumping force of 6–12 kg, depending on grind coarseness, drives water through the coffee puck. Wacaco recommends holding the device with two hands during pumping to reduce the effort required.
The Minipresso GR2 does not heat water. To brew a hot espresso, fill the integrated 80 ml water tank with hot water before pumping. The double-wall structure helps retain heat during extraction, and the in-cup temperature is stated as 67 °C (152 °F).
Wacaco specifies a super-fine grind for the Minipresso GR2. This is finer than a typical drip or pour-over grind and closer to espresso grind. Using a coarser grind will reduce extraction pressure and crema quality.
The Minipresso GR2 features a patented adjustable basket that accepts either 8 g or 12 g of ground coffee. Switching between the two settings lets you brew a lighter or bolder shot without any additional accessories. The basket diameter is 43 mm.
The Minipresso GR2 ships with a built-in espresso cup, scoop, dosing funnel, drip tray, brush, carrying pouch, multi-language instruction book, warranty card, and one sticker. The protective case and the Baskets Set are sold separately.
After each use, rinse the cup, outlet head, and shower head under running water. Dry the water tank with a cloth rather than rinsing it. The Minipresso GR2 is not dishwasher safe; machine washing can damage the components.
