Best Portable Espresso Machines: WACACO Nanopresso | The Kitchn

I guess it’s not what am I doing wrong. It’s what am I doing right- in as much as the expected fiddling with grind, tamping, quantity, etc seems unnecessary. I’m one of those who, if I can’t go too far (to cause brewing problems), I’m afraid I haven’t gone far enough (to get the best quality). Should I be grateful, let well enough alone? Or depressurize to see what happens, try an even finer grind, or….? At the same time, if the frequency of use for your portable espresso maker is going to be quite low, you might settle for the cheaper option. While if you’re going away every weekend and you want your trips to be accompanied by a delicious cup of coffee, it makes sense to invest in it more. Our Verdict In fact, we feel like it’s precisely because this machine is so simple and the technology is boiled right down to the essentials, that it’s easy to tweak and see immediate results. Within a few days, you do feel like you’re learning a lot about honing in on that perfect espresso. Over a month of use, we found this best for nomadic working and weekends away - in other words, all those times when you’re not sure if there’s going to be great espresso within easy reach.But the Staresso manual espresso maker is still an excellent piece of kit. Where it outshines the competition is by being able to froth milk on the go. It is a true manual lever espresso maker with a pressure of 6 to 10 bars. It allows you to have full control over the brewing, including the grind, tamping, pressure, water temperature, and extraction time. And you know that the more control allows for a better shot.
