  • NotedCommercial pre-ground coffee will not work well to extract a nice espresso with crema. The use of fresh coffee bean is highly recommanded for best result. Dialing-in (adjusting the grind size) is part of the process to achieve perfect extraction.
  • Easy to CleanThe espresso maker is fast and simple. Just carefully rinse the coffee basket and the shower head with running warm water and wipe with a humid cloth. After cleaning, let all the Picopresso parts dry separately.

  • Little dynamo that saves space
I bought this espresso maker to make Americanos with. As everyone says, getting the grind right is the best way to ensure this works correctly. I found a local roaster that has great roasts and will grind all the way to Turkish (dust). I’ve found that espresso grind is just right. I almost returned it before trying a better grind and roast for it. Now I crave its output (is that a good thing?). In comparison to an Aeropress it takes about the same time to prep. However, it’s easily double the work to clean. It does provide a much stronger brew though. I’ve found for what I’m used to a much longer steep time (pump 10x wait ~2 minutes) yields a much stronger Americano and one that is worthy of spending the extra cleaning time over an Aeropress. It’s extremely well built and has a premium look and feel to it. I chose the Picopresso over the less expensive and smaller Minipresso GR2 because of the larger basket. One Aeropress scoop (9g) is perfect for my needs. The basket can hold up to 18g but I find that too much caffeine for the roast I’m using. However I could double the water used to water it down and nurse it for much longer than just breakfast. I find that the additional all metal stand, not included, to be of great help when pulling. The mirror is a nice touch so you can easily see how well the flow is moving. It breaks apart to flatten for travel. I’m not that much of a snob to care about weighing grounds and water. I find that it doesn’t make much of a noticeable difference if you’re used to an Americano. Sacrilege, I know. I wouldn’t call it easy to use. It takes work to put together but it’s nothing that wouldn’t keep you from using it once you’ve tasted how well it makes espresso. It really does provide an amazing quality shot for the price and it takes up almost no room (high partner approval factor). ... show more

  • Great espresso but some things to consider and now broken
Exactly as advertised, very high quality manufacture, great espresso. Some things to consider: 1. there are a LOT of parts that will be hard to remember how to assemble at first. It would be nice to have a printed blow-out illustration of assembly order on the inside of the holding case. A bit fussy to assemble/disassemble/clean. 2. you have to twist the edge of the pump plunger to get it to pop out. The edge is very thin and made of slippery material. If this were ridged it would make twisting it much easier. 3. if you have a home espresso maker / grinder you will find the Picospresso needs an even finer grind, sometimes labeled as "Turkish coffee". You really MUST have a quality burr grinder to get this fine. I pre-grind with my home grinder when I'm on a trip so this is not a problem but you may need to invest in their hand grinder, which I did not try. 4. heavier in the hand than you might expect -- fastidious backpackers may complain but for my travel via car/airplane it is not an issue. On the other hand it is because it seems very well made and of high quality metal and silicone. 5. The carrying case is very nice but tight and I worry that the zippers might not be up to the task for the lifetime of the product, even though they are made of sturdy stainless steel -- not plastic ones. 6. I have heard the pump action described as "a bit stiff" but I found it quite smooth and easy to use. It is two handed but unless you have strongly arthritic hands you should have not problem with it. 7. A real portafilter basket, nice. Does NOT use pods -- ugh! 8. obviously you will need a source of boiling water. If your hotel only has electric outlets and no microwave, you may need a portable hot water maker. 9. perhaps obviously it does not steam milk. I love the Picospresso and am a picky espresso drinker. This will make my travel (6-8 weeks per year) so much more enjoyable. Good espresso on the road is spotty at best and now I probably won't bother looking. UPDATE: I've now used this one a few trips an it does make incredible espresso! However I find two problems. 1. It is like solving a puzzle each time I re-assemble it. They designed for compactness but sacrificed in the somewhat ridiculous complexity of packing it back up. 2. When I traveled with another espresso lover I found that pulling the second shot will lock up the device. The portafilter becomes extremely hard to push water through AND it was impossible to unscrew after the (difficult) second shot. I had to wrap it in a plastic bag (it will leak) and pack it with grounds still in the device - then disassemble and clean at the next opportunity. From now on I'll wash the bottom section, the one with the portafilter, in COLD water before trying to pull the second shot. This should help with both problems like it does in my home machine. UPDATE 2: Some design suggestions after extended trip usage: 1. The plastic lid on top contains the hot water. It has no grippy texture like the portafilter tightener. Be CAREFUL, if this is not on TIGHT you'll get boiling hot water dribbling on your hands when you pump. It would be great if this lid had a grip texture. Same for the screw-out pump handle locking mechanism - it is very thin and slippery when wet, when locking it down for storage. 2. The pump is a bit hard to use - you have to squat or contort to cover some cup or glass receptacle and compress using your chest muscles, not your hand gripping muscles - all without splattering hot coffee everywhere. I eventually found a plastic insulated cup the fit tightish around the bottom of the picospresso. This allows me to hold it in a way where I use my gripping muscles. The bottom has a flat rubber cover, why not make an accessory rubber cup-sized cover to solve this problem? These tweaks would make it easier and safer to use and less messy. UPDAYE 3: Broken! In cold weather the plastic tabs the hold the plunger from comeing out of the side of the unit broke mearly by releasing the pump piston. This is how you are supposed to release the piston so clearly another flaw in design materials. I'm very disappointed so tried a Nanospresso to replace this but the coffee is dismal so trying another Picospesso. This device is the ONLY true espresso you are going to find on the road/camp so despite all my issues above it is the only game in town so far. ADVICE: EASE OUT THE PISTON! don't let it pop out or you may end up with a handful of metal parts and a broken piston. Five stars for espresso quality and size, far less for plastic part qualty. ... show more

  • Very good portable and daily-driver
This is simply an amazing portable espresso maker. Actually, it's just a very good espresso maker, and I use it daily, at home or out (I just don't pack it up at home). It makes very good espresso, it is easy to clean (more to that later), and it takes up very little space. I've long recovered its cost by not drinking Starbucks latte for about a month or so, and I am pulling much better and consistent espresso shots from this machine than take outs. It also makes better espresso than my other manual espresso machine (a Flair Neo Flex), probably because the Picopresso has a full-sized basket. That said, there are a couple small issues: 1. There are a lot of parts to keep track of during the process of making a shot. Far more complicated than a level-style espresso maker, and a bit harder to clean. 2. The funnel and stirring stick is tiny (understandable for portability). I always, 100% spill some coffee grounds every time I use it. I have to use something to catch the grounds to not send them all over my floor. 3. When pouring boiling water into the body, the water line is very close to full, so there's a close call when I almost burned myself because it spilled. I wasn't very sure of how long a pressure vessel made of plastic and is in constant contact of boiling water would hold up in time, but for me it's fine. I've recovered my cost several times over. There's a very occasional dripping leak from the piston when I pressurize it, but it never caused an issue. ... show more
