- There is no excuse to drink instant coffee
on a trip with a Wacaco Nanopresso.
Let's check it out
(techno music)
Hey, guys, it's Lauren from Snowys.
I have a Wacaco Nanopresso espresso machine.
It is for use with ground coffee
if you want an espresso on the go.
No power required.
It's very similar to the Wacaco Minipresso GR.
However, this one has a higher PSI rating,
so it goes up to a maximum of 18 bars of pressure.
You got a couple of add ons or adapter kits here.
This barista kit will allow you to do a double shot coffee
and your Nanopresso adapter
is allowing you to use it with pod coffee.
So, all in all, the unit itself weighs
around about 340 grammes.
The dimensions are about 15.5 centimetres tall
by about seven centimetres deep
and six centimetres wide.
In the box
you will get a awesome hard shell protective cover,
a couple of stickers,
and your instruction manual as well.
So the unit itself is made from 100 percent BPA free plastic
and there's a couple different components to it.
So the first part here is the water receptacle
off the bottom.
That has got your little coffee scooper
and a little cleaning brush here as well.
The top part of it,
if I unscrew it for you here,
has got the actual coffee basket
and a stainless steel coffee filter here
with the water coming out of the,
coffee, I should say,
coming out from this end here.
Now it sounds like some of the water I have prepared earlier
is ready to go.
So I've got some ground coffee here as well.
What I'm gonna do is a quick run through
of how to make your espresso.
So the first step we're gonna use is
to grab your little coffee basket
and your filter head or your nozzle.
We're going to scoop the coffee
into the basket,
the coffee basket here.
Now the nifty thing is that this scoop
actually doubles as a mini tamper.
So once we've got enough coffee in there.
That should do it.
Now we can just use this to just press the coffee down.
Okay, awesome.
Clean that up.
Now we're gonna grab the body,
main body of your Nanopresso with the writing facing up,
and sit the coffee basket in the middle.
We'll grab the nozzle top,
and just screw that in.
Nice and tight.
Right, so the next step is to fill hot water
into this receptacle here.
And not to fill it over the line
because otherwise it may risk tipping up
when you're attaching it to your main machine body.
Now before, off camera, I did poor this cup off the base
of the hot water receptacle there,
so that's your little espresso cup
that you're going to be pumping your shot into.
If you do forget to poor the espresso cup
off after you've already attached the hot water
to the machine,
you just gonna have to leave it on.
You cannot remove the espresso cup
whilst your hot water thing is connected.
It's just a bit of a safety thing.
From here, we're going to twist the knob
into the unlock position,
and that will release the pump.
We're gonna flip it over so our little nozzle outlet
is over our espresso cup,
and we're going to start pumping in the little piston pump.
Now we can hear that water
is starting to make its way through
and once we feel resistance,
we know the water is fully gone through the machine.
It is requiring a little bit of effort to pump.
Nothing unreasonable at all.
And starting to feel the resistance change,
there we go.
It shifted entirely.
That means that we know
that all the water's worked its way through,
and it's empty.
So we'll lock off that piston,
turn it upright.
So all we need to do now is just empty out
our little basket of spent coffee
and rinse it through some water
and pop it away.
A lot of customer feedback
is that sometimes the espresso comes out,
it's not quite hot enough.
So there's a couple of things that running
a hot water cycle through first can do.
It can preheat the machine
and it can also help to prime that little pump
so it's not as much effort getting the coffee
moving through that first time.
That's it for the Wacaco Nanopresso.
