Wacaco Pixapresso

£149.90

Whether you’re a coffee addict or simply a casual coffee drinker, there’s no denying that a lovely, smooth espresso is one of the best ways to start the day – no matter where you are. The ability to experience a perfectly brewed espresso no matter where you are has now been made even easier with the new Pixapresso from Wacaco. The Pixapresso is the company’s first compact, electric portable espresso maker designed to deliver smooth and creamy espressos anywhere from a small kitchen to a campsite.  

The Pixapresso is remarkably small, standing only 181mm in height and weighing 755g. The unit is about 25% of the size of comparable machines, making it the perfect small and portable unit to fit into a small kitchen or student dorm, or for ensuring you start the day right for any outdoor adventure. Despite its size, the Pixapresso does not sacrifice power; instead, the unit is designed to deliver up to 5 espressos, 8 ristrettos or 2 lungo shots from a single charge, or up to 200 extractions from preheated water. This high power ensures that you can brew the perfect cup no matter where you are, and all in one portable and rechargeable unit.  

To achieve this, the Pixapresso builds on the innovation of Wacaco’s previous Minipresso model, but now offers even better technology, allowing you to heat and extract an espresso shot with just the push of a button. The Pixapresso is super easy to use; you just add your chosen coffee grounds to the adjustable 8-16g basket, fill the water tank, and then choose your preferred brewing settings on the intuitive touch display. Then, pressing the power button, you can start the brewing process, delivering you the perfect rich espresso with a delicious, thick crema every time.

To further enhance its functionality, the Pixapresso allows you to fully tailor your espresso to your exact preferences with temperature, pre-infusion and shot volume adjustments. For example, the Pixapresso’s advanced heating system allows you to perfectly heat your water to the optimal brewing temperature based on your preferred taste and coffee roast. This ability to fully adjust the unit to your specific coffee preferences ensures you can make the perfect cup anytime and anywhere with the rich flavours and aromas that make a morning coffee so special.

One of the things I love about the Pixapresso is that it is also compatible with NS capsules, which include Nespresso Original capsules. This means that not only does the Pixapresso support ground coffee, but for even greater compatibility, you can also use coffee capsules in the unit to make your coffee experience even simpler.

Overall, the Pixapresso is a super functional, portable and easy to use espresso machine that makes getting the perfect coffee to start the day even easier – no matter your space, location or time. The unit can be used on the go or makes the perfect addition to a small kitchen or student dorm set up, so you don’t have to sacrifice on a good coffee for the sake of convenience. Instead, you can get a coffee shop-quality espresso shots at home or on the go, without the fuss. If you have a coffee addict in your life who is always on the go, or a student who loves coffee and wants to save some money by making coffee in their dorm without the need for a giant coffee machine, the Pixapresso is a brilliant, functional and compact coffee machine delivering you perfect espresso shots every time.

• Portable design ideal for making espresso no matter where you are
• Intuitive touch display for easy adjustability
• Compatible with both ground coffee and NS capsules for greater functionality
• Powerful 300mAh 3S battery which can be charged in just 2 and ½ hours
