Wacaco Nanopresso Elements Arctic Portable Espresso Machine Blue

First up - I'm an unashamed coffee snob. Only use locally roasted and freshly ground beans, etc etc. I'd heard how good these things were and as someone who camps, a decent flat white has escaped me to date. No longer!This little machine is sensational. There is an art and method to it, which is pretty easily and quickly learned, but I give it an easy 5 stars for both quality of the unit, and quality of coffee it produces. Seriously - if you know what you are doing, have a good bean and a good grind, it will make a better coffee than pretty much any expensive espresso machine at home! The Barista kit is a must. Cleaning is a little fiddly, but a necessary evil, but making good coffee is a ritual anyway right ? so I don't mind it. The proof is in the puck that's ... MoreFirst up - I'm an unashamed coffee snob.

Cleaning is a little fiddly, but a necessary evil, but making good coffee is a ritual anyway right ? so I don't mind it. The proof is in the puck that's left. It's compressed and hard, which shows you the pressure this little wonder has. LOVE IT!Make sure you use a quality bean that is ground the same as you would grind for an espresso machine. Freshly roasted really helps. (Thank you Montague Roasters of Narooma for your awesome coffee beans.)This thing lives in my car camper now, and I use it every morning instead of buying the 2nd coffee of the day. It's already paid for itself within 2 weeks.Cannot speak highly enough of this unit ! Thanks Snowys.

I have the nanopresso with the pod adaptor so i generally just use Nespresso pods. It makes as good a coffee as a proper nespresso machine. Very simple to use, just boil water on the stove put a cup into the machine and after about 8 pumps on the plunger propper espresso coffee comes out. I have a bonsen kitchenaid hand held milk frother and with this little aid i can get a perfect capaccino.

The best thing that we have purchased so far. My partner is polish so loves espresso coffee throughout the day. Now can have anywhere and anytime. We take with us on all our day trips and overnight trips. We have also purchased a coffee grinder and use it with the nanopresso, all packs very nicely into the coffee bag we purchased as a kit from Snowys. Excellent service from Snowys, arrived in Sydney from Adelaide in 1 day even with COVID restrictions. So impressed. Highly recommend to anyone.
