Wacaco Picopresso – portable espresso machine with case, Black
Ultra-fine grounds into the basket, hot water, a few pump strokes – and out of the bottomless portafilter flows a syrupy, finely creamy shot with a dense body. The Wacaco Picopresso is the most compact and most espresso-focused machine in the Wacaco range.
Thanks to a wide coffee basket and ultra-fine grounds, it aims for an extraction like the one you know from a lever espresso machine: rich, balanced, with a full crema. Made from metal and robust materials, it comes in the included case. Nobody needs it – you either want it or you don't. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's made for
For everyone who values a dense, café-style espresso even on the go and is willing to play with the grind size. For a nice result we recommend fresh beans – dialling in is part of the process. You'll find matching coffee grinders for an ultra-fine grind and fresh coffee beans from our coffee roastery with us.
Frequently asked questions
How fine do I need to grind for the Picopresso?
It is designed for ultra-fine coffee grounds. Pre-ground commercial coffee is less suitable – for a nice espresso with crema we recommend freshly ground beans. Dialling in, i.e. adjusting the grind size, is part of the process.
Does the Picopresso need electricity?
No. It works purely by hand, entirely without batteries or electricity, and uses a bottomless portafilter with a 52 mm stainless steel filter basket.
