Picopresso

There's no way to get this made for that cheap.. The guy who developed it assembles it himself, it's not any big name company that takes a huge markup or anything, it's one of the best value for money lever machines you can get.. The images are surely those of the robot itself and not of their own p

Why should it be? It just looks like a Moka pot, it's a wholly different beast. It's making 9 bars of pressure on a frikking stovetop. For context, a pressure cooker gets upto 1 bar of pressure. Moka pot is between 1 and 2 bars. So the engineering, design and safety is highly non-trivial. On top of

Love my Picopresso for the office - saves me having to go to the awful chain stores around there and have a decent coffee. My only complaint is the slightly cooler temperature but such is the compromise for this type of machine. It really is amazing for the size and cost

Moka pot rules: 1 it is moka pot not an espresso machine2 never press down the grounds. It has to be loose in the basket3 there is no crema.

I own a Chemex, a V60 and a Picopresso. I also have a temperature control kettle, a 1Zpresso X-Ultra and a scale from Amazon. Admittedly this is more like 600 worth of gear, but the grinder and espresso machine on its own is about 300 and is more proper espresso than the baristina. Admittedly this i

Well said. I feel exactly the same way. Already I've bought a few brewers that turns out, I didn't like, but the damage was only tens of dollars. I can't see myself spending hundreds to $1k+ on an espresso machine, like you said, and risk not liking it. The unused brewers take up a little space at t

The pump broke on my Pico. However, Wacaco are really good with spares and they are cheap too. Customer support is second to none imo.

I have both. Pico for work and Robot for the house. The taste and build quality of the Robot is better. Shots from the Robot has a richer body with more sweetness.

Because I like to understand how things work, and wonder if I can improve!. Pico si simply awsome, small, cheap and taste very well. I can compete with 1k dollars machine, and it simply would be better to not make all those pumping. If I'd be in the Wacaco team, I'd add a cheap mod on the store for
