Hey guys, it's Lauren from Snowys here,
I have with me the Wacaco Minipresso GR.
GR stands for ground coffee.
It is a nifty little espresso machine
for your lightweight adventures,
or for car camping, anything like that.
It is around about 360 grammes,
measuring about 17 and a half centimetres tall,
we got seven centimetres deep here,
taking into consideration your piston section,
and about six centimetres wide.
In your box, you'll get your
espresso machine, you'll get a little storage bag,
your instruction booklet, and a couple of stickers.
The unit has got a couple of components to it,
the first one being your hot water receptacle
down the end here.
We've got a little coffee scoop,
and a cleaning brush, kept in there for storage.
Your coffee receptacle, or your water receptacle,
I should say, holds about 70 mils.
You've got the body of the machine,
with that piston in place, and you've got your expresso cup,
which is around about 45 mil cup,
and the actual coffee filter head here,
which is your little coffee basket.
Now, the entire unit itself is made from BPA plastic,
and your little filter components here are stainless steel.
I've had some water boiling here for a while now,
and I've got some ground coffee pre-prepared,
and it sounds like my pot of water is finished boiling,
so I'm gonna take you through
how to make yourself a cup of coffee.
Now there are a couple of components here,
so we'll sort of just move them all out the way.
Firstly, we're gonna grab our little coffee basket here.
Now, this holds around about eight grammes of coffee.
We're gonna use our scoop,
to fill that one up, get a little bit more in there.
Now your scoop also, oh, that's a bit full, isn't it?
Doubles as a tamper, so we can fit that in there,
and press it all down.
Now, we're gonna grab the main body of the Minipresso,
and we're gonna sit the coffee basket there.
Then we're gonna grab the head of the machine,
that's got that little steel coffee filter there,
and we're gonna just screw that in nice and tight.
Okay, that's it.
Ready to go.
The next section we're going to grab
is our water receptacle, and we'll grab this off the boil.
We'll turn that off, there we go.
And we'll fill this up with hot water,
we're not gonna fill it beyond the little ridge line
that's on the inside there, otherwise it can overflow.
Right, that one's set.
And we'll screw this on to the top,
so we're gonna just press down and twist, at the same time,
which will get that all locked in to place.
Right, now we're ready to make some coffee.
Grab our little espresso cup,
and we're going to twist the piston to release the pump,
and start pumping through.
Now some excellent user feedback we've received,
is that it's good to have a run-through
of just straight hot water first.
Not only does it pre-heat the machine,
and make sure that your shot of coffee's gonna be super hot,
but it also primes the pump, which means less time
before your coffee actually starts working its way through.
Once the water's all moved through the machine,
and it's passing through the coffee itself,
there is quite a lot of resistance there.
So it does require a bit of effort.
Okay, I can feel the resistance now
has completely changed, which means
all the water has worked through the machine.
So I'm gonna stow away that pump, and there we go!
We've got a nice hot cup of espresso.
Next step, essentially, is just to unscrew the top here,
and you'll find your little basket of spent coffee.
Just chuck that out and give your machine
a rush through of the cold water, and you're done.
So, that's about it for the Wacaco Minipresso GR.
If you love the luxury of expresso coffee on the move,
then this is a really awesome option.
