Picopresso

i would say the flair ia closer to a high end electric assist bike lol like a trek or a specialized with a motor picopresso is closer to flinstones car xD

I would respectfully disagree with you. Freshly ground coffee is the 1st for any coffee hobbyist. And IMO one should start from filter based coffee to build up their taste buds. I would also disagree that picopresso give an espresso coffee… no manual lever-less machine can produce 9 bars to get real

Picopresso was on my list too. Ended up going nano because for $20 more you get self-heating and one-button automatic, no hot water needed, no manual pumping. For an office setup that mattered to me. Bought mine directly from outin.com, they ship to India, took about 10 days.

Milk pitchers are probably the cheapest and easiest to use vs. alternatives. I recently got a picopresso for travel so I tried a few different containers and thermometers with a Nanofoamer, assuming that I might have to microwave the milk sometimes so I couldn't use a metal container. No matter what

Thanks for the review. I've been considering the Nano with the basket plus upgrade but now I think I'm gonna wait until Mino has a basket plus upgrade. And I hope that it would be a proper 18g basket. The standard 12g won't do it for me and the biggest factor that prevented me from buying Nano was t

I’ve used the Minipresso, and currently have a Picopresso. And had both the standard Aeropress and the Go. If you had to have only one device, I’d recommend the Aeropress.

They are different machines. The minipresso is easy, more forgiving. The picopresso is a true espresso machine, so it's more hard to learn, it needs a really good grinder, for espresso, and good puck prep. So it depends on what you want. I have both, I preffer the minipresso, the result is more like

I got my picopresso used from Marketplace and that’s what exactly the first thing I did as the unit was leaking.

You are a bit wasting your time to try with preground coffee, at this early stage of learning about your Picopresso. I would recommend to wait for at least your grinder to arrive and be able to adjust the grind size according to how your shots are pulled. That’s the bare minimum. But without a scale

My opinion on this reflects yours too. Robot is so much easier and consistent for me. I'm sure picopresso has a steeper learning curve in my experience, but I hardly have a bad shot with the robot.
