WACACO Pixapresso Espresso Machine Electric & Portable (Dark Burgundy) | 4 Coffee Types, Fast Heat-up, 3 x 3000mAh Battery, Patented 8-16g Basket, Grounds & Capsules, Touchscreen, Travel, Camping

Just got home from a 5 day fishing trip. We were extremely happy and satisfied with the espresso and the ease of use of our pixapresso. We were able to make many espressos with preheated water. It does use up a lot of battery power when using it to heat the water. But in a crunch, it can heat up water pretty quickly and efficiently. And make several drinks before needing recharged. The picture shows my whole setup. With the nespresso pod knockoffs, we were able to fill with our own coffee grounds and also very happy and satisfied with the results using those. We also used the ground coffee option, which was also just as enjoyable. The stand I am using for our Pixapresso was purchased separately and the sticker received with the pixapresso was used to put on the stand to customize it. All the accessories were purchased through Amazon as well. Being able to customize the filter to accommodate 16 g of coffee was primarily the reason behind purchasing this particular portable espresso maker. This is the only portable espresso maker I have used so unable to compare it to how others might perform. The charging cord provided is extremely short, but it is a USB -C, and we always have many of those types of cords laying around. There are 2 other color options available, but not on Amazon it seems. I would have preferred the Olive green, but it's not a huge issue. This is also very easy to maintain and keep clean.

I love it. It makes good shots for what it is.

Purchased 6 months ago. I thought this would be great for travel and using it in the camper with the Nespresso pods. On the first 10 brewing cycles I got 8 great cups of coffee. Two brewing efforts failed. On the second 10 brewing cycles I got 2 great cups of coffee and 8 brewing failures. The system has difficulty puncturing the Nespresso pods correctly and this got worse overtime. Tried several different pods but this didn’t make a difference. Seemed like a great idea/great tech - but it didn’t pan out.

Nice little machine that makes it possible to make espresso anywhere. Using pods is easy, but grounds are a bit finicky. The funnel and tamper aren't the best and it had a hard time pushing water through the grounds. I used the same coffee and grind size as my picopresso. The controls are also not very intuitive. Sometimes you need to short press the button, sometimes you hold for 1 second, sometimes you hold for 5 seconds, and sometimes you tap the lcd screen.

This is the third portable Nespresso machine I’ve purchased. Spend the extra money and get this one! It is hands down the best. The cheap ones don’t work for long before they start messing up. This one is built like a tank and makes great coffee. The menu system is a bit wonky but once you figure it out, it works great!

Amazing product I make espresso anywhere..lol At my desk at work etc. I use blonde espresso from Starbucks and this portable 20 bar espresso machine makes the most delish espresso. easy to use but it does take like 3 mins to heat up and dispense coffee so it is not going to make quick espresso shots like a regular machine at home would But it gets the job done and produces nice crema as well.

IT has been very difficult dealing with this device. I am on vacation and the pod continues to get stuck. I am now using my OutIn instead. I purchased my Pixapresso as a replacement for the OutIn since it is smaller and more compact. But having to unscrew it so hard has become such a hassle that my wrist is hurting. It also caused a burn on my hand since so much force is needed to remove the capsule holder. I really did love this product in the beginning with all its features but the basic function of holding a nespresso pod is flawed. The capsule holder screws into place and the two halves then slide among eachother so a notch fits into a groove. With this design any bit of friction between the two halves causes a poor seal and hot water simply flows around the pod instead of through it. Then the hard part, taking the capsule holder off. It becomes so stuck that its nearly impossible to remove unless you wish to hurt a thumb tendon. I contacted support not for a warranty replacement but rather to ask how I can purchase a new capsule holder. After ofcourse offering up all of my information no such replacement is for sale and I was instead given some silly solutions such as leave it to cool down for hours before attempting to unscrew (which I tried and it didn’t work). I am going back to my OutIn. There should be a way to purchase a new pod holder and since support has not been useful I will just stop using this portable espresso maker.

I'm shocked. The first shot I pulled I expected to be bad or mediocre as I dialed in the correct dose and grind. It was really pretty decent. The next four shots were very good! I'm not sure how a machine as small and basic as this can do that! I'm sufficiently pleased with the results that I bought a second one. Yes, I know, I don't NEED a second one. I just like the idea of having a backup Pixapresso, just because. And... since none of you people reading this review actually know me I don't need to be embarrassed about it :-). Espresso is a rabbit hole, a deep rabbit hole. Don't ask how many other espresso machines I have...

Muy buena opción si te gusta el Café expresso, muy facil de usar si utilizas cápsulas NS y requiere algo de conocimiento para usarla con café molido ya que es indispensable que no quede ni muy fino ni muy gruesa la molienda y lo otro es que el tampeo sea el adecuado

Performs as expected. It's very useful to have this in the backpack when I'm on the road. The fact I can make expresso on the road is very reassuring. Neat well thought out package. Simple to use. Materials feel very premium. I like that all you need fits inside the water chamber. I opted for the travel case. It holds 6 Nespresso pods and an extra head and barista towel. Note: Definitely try and source hot water. It helps with the battery.

Very happy with the product would definitely recommend to purchase it

Unfortunately, my experience with this product has been very disappointing. During the first 2–3 uses, everything worked fine. However, with continued use, a serious issue started to appear. When using capsules (I always use original Nespresso capsules), the coffee chamber becomes vacuum-sealed after extraction. As a result, opening the capsule compartment becomes extremely difficult and requires a lot of force. It feels like the device is stuck under pressure, and even after letting it cool down — sometimes even waiting until the next day — it is still very hard to open. Because of this issue, the product has practically become unusable after only about 5 months of purchase. A coffee machine that cannot be opened easily after use is simply not functional.

perfect and easy to use and a good espresso shot everywhere
