Excellent customer service after the outlet gauge broke.
UPDATED July 2nd 2016:I am happy to report that my broken part has been replaced by Wacaco and they honored the one year guarantee even when the Amazon returning policy had already expired. Costumer service was very courteous, informative and efficient, so just for that alone they deserve 5 stars, but just for the time I lost trying to fix the problem I’m giving them 4 stars only. The spare part took a while to arrive (about 25 days or so since the day I was shipped), this is understood since the spare part came from Hong Kong. TIP: Buy directly from Wacaco.com and avoid limited returning policy by Amazon. (Thanks to one of the other reviewers for providing me with the necessary info to solve my problem. As simple as looking for customer support at Wacaco.com)Now, let’s talk about the product itself: As I said on my initial review I was very happy with this product until the day it broke. Now that the problem has been solved I can give you an objective review free of frustration. If you have seen the other reviews, someone said DO NOT DAMP. That person is totally right! This warning is written in the owners manual of the MiniPresso, but apparently not big enough since many of us have ignored the warning maybe inspired by the videos out there. Let me repeat it. DO NOT DAMP. This small machine creates enough internal pressure for your coffee. No need to damp at all. Just grind your coffee very fine and put a scoop in the filter. Let it stand somehow loose. Start pumping slowly about 7 times to let the hot water pass through and let it rest for a couple of seconds, then proceed to pump letting pass between 2 to 3 seconds in each pumping. IF THE PUMPING GETS TOO HARD DON’T FORCE IT. THAT MEANS YOUR COFFE POWDER WAS SET TOO TIGHT AND IT IS BLOCKING THE FILTER TINY HOLES. THAT CREATES EXCESSIVE PRESSURE AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BREAKING THE PART AS I DID. Just open the machine and reload it again making sure the powder is loose.THE GOOD:The flavor of your coffee will be as good as if you were using more expensive equipment. I have tried as many as 7 different manual coffee makers and this is by far the one that produces the most concentrated flavor and thickest texture of the extraction. It is very portable. Perfect for camping. Some reviewers have said it is difficult to clean. I disagree. If you keep yourself organized the cleaning can be fairly simple.THE NOT SO GOOD.This machine was created for personal use, so the amount of liquid you get is smaller compared to other machines. Even with the extended water container (sold separately) you will get more water but the filter capacity will be still the same, meaning your crema will be more diluted and the flavor won’t be as concentrated. Luckily for me when my first machine broke I got a second one as a present and now that I got the first one repaired I have two and that makes it easier for me to prepare a second cup of coffee right away. If you can afford a second one, go for it. You’ll see how big of a difference it makes to have two. Otherwise keep in mind this machine is not designed for people who are in a rush and expect to drink a litter of coffee before starting their day.THE BADCurrent instructional videos suggest damping the coffee powder which can damaged the machine. Spare parts are not available for direct purchase in the website directly, which makes it somehow difficult and time consuming to replace if something goes wrong.——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-I was so happy with my mini presso machine until it broke. Very portable and practical to take with me on camping trips. Yesterday the rim that holds the pressure rubber ring broke. I visited the Wako website for spare parts but they don’t sell them. Meaning my machine is useless now. I don’t know if I want to buy one again. I’m very disappointed. Amazon return policy is even shorter than the guarantee on this thing. I’ll try to send it back to the manufacturer since the guarantee has not expired and I’ll keep you posted.

Re: cap
Only gripe so far is the cap on one end doesnât stay attached well when not using. The device is pretty cool so far tho. Only used it twice because I only have whole beans which arenât ground fine enough. I might post another review after I order ground beans from Stocking Mill Coffee. The best there is!

This device has a quite narrow and specific target market. People who are serious enough coffee snobs that they want to be able to pull an espresso shot in the middle of nowhere. People for whom plungers, or even mocha pots aren’t good enough, they are such insufferable coffee snobs that they have to have espresso.Obviously, I fall squarely in this target market.Using the device isn’t terribly easy or quick, but I suspect that can’t be avoided. Espresso needs hot water, finely ground coffee and high pressure. To get those to combine in a quite reasonably priced, 300g device isn’t terribly easy. However, it isn’t overly difficult and with a small amount of practice you will be pumping out shots of high quality coffee.The only real niggle I have is the size of the coffee basket. At a mere 8g, to get a decently strong coffee, you need to do 2 shots, which is quite a faff around. As such, you are not going to volunteer to make a coffee for anyone else and yourself. Again however, I suspect that’s almost certainly a limitation imposed the requirements to make an espresso.In summation, it’s quite small; reasonably priced and makes excellent espresso. After about 1 month, I’m particularly happy with it. If anything pops up to change my mind, I’ll update this review.Update: It’s been over 12 months and it’s still excellent. I travel a lot, and being able to get real coffee anywhere really makes my life better. Thanks for the product guys.

I bought this about a month ago and wanted to wait to write a review until I’d used it for a while. I was slightly nervous of buying it because of the price, but I have to say that I’m really impressed. I work in an office in central London where all the surrounding chain cafes turn out so-so espresso for between £1.50-2.00/shot, and was fed up of that. This really has solved that issue and pretty soon I’ll break even on the investment of buying it vs the cost of buying coffees out all the time. It’s a really, really small and nifty device, extremely quick and easy to use and clean, and crucially – makes very good espresso, easily as good if not better than the espresso sold in many cafes. Yes, it takes a few days to get used to, and without question it won’t suit everyone; it is a (bit) messy and requires careful cleaning to get the best from it, and if you’re looking for espresso right up there like that from a proper machine, sure you’ll be disappointed – but this is basically a 20cm long bike pump that makes coffee, so give it a break! All I can say is that it works well for me and really is quick and easy to use, allows you to select your own coffee type of choice, and so to my mind is well worth it. I now use it at least daily, if not twice a day, during the working week, and envisage my taking it on holiday too: I could imagine anyone who regularly goes camping, etc. finding it especially useful.

I have Delonghi cappuccino at home, brough this for travel purpose. There is hardly any difference between espresso made from Delonghi and Wacaco. I am impressed with this product.Regards,Mazhar

Excelente calidad en los materiales aun siendo de plastico, se siente firme y robusta. Hace falta un poco de mayor capacidad ya que solo se puede preparar una carga de expresso por carga, pero eso se puede solucionar comprando el Batista Kit. No tengo queja alguna, que para ser una maquina de expresso tan pequeña, vale mucho la pena.
