The Pixapresso is Wacaco’s first compact, electric portable espresso maker, designed for espresso enthusiasts who demand convenience without compromising quality. It is billed as a successor to the groundbreaking Minipresso, maintaining a similar form factor but integrating cutting-edge technology. This device puts the power of barista-level customisation right at your fingertips via a sleek, intuitive display.

Espresso Freedom Reimagined

The device offers freedom and portability. It is 25% smaller than comparable machines and excels in convenience for modern lifestyles, fitting perfectly into spaces like a student dorm, a small kitchen, or setups for Caravan life and outdoor adventures.

Precision Brewing: Self-Heating and Barista Control

The Pixapresso removes the need for an external kettle, as it features an advanced self-heating system that heats 55ml of cold water to the optimal brewing temperature in about 3 minutes (180 seconds).

Dialing in the Perfect Temperature

Users can select from three preset brewing temperatures: 88°C, 92°C, and 96°C. These settings are calibrated to match different roasting levels; for instance, lower temperatures (88°C) are ideal for dark roasts, preserving their bold character without bitterness, while higher temperatures (96°C) suit light roasts, unlocking complex, floral, and fruity notes. The system ensures every coffee is extracted to its fullest potential.

Intuitive Controls at Your Fingertips

Extraction is handled by a 20-bar pump engineered for pressure and consistency, creating the beloved velvety crema. The device offers a Brew Selector allowing the user to choose from four distinct drink styles: ristretto, espresso, double espresso, or lungo. Furthermore, users can enable a pre-infusion mode (a 5-second pre-wet phase) to optimize extraction by gently saturating coffee grounds.

Power and Portability: Off-Grid Performance

The Pixapresso is designed for performance on the go, standing at only 181mm tall and weighing 755g.

USB-C Fast Charging and Endurance

The powerful battery pack (3000mAh 3S, sometimes referred to as 9000mAh capacity) allows you to brew up to five espressos from cold water or an incredible 200 extractions using preheated water on a single charge. It charges easily via a USB Type-C port (using a 10W+ adapter) in approximately 2.5 hours.

Total Versatility: Grounds or Capsules

The Pixapresso features dual compatibility, tailoring every cup to preference whether brewing with fresh ground coffee or enjoying the convenience of NS capsules (Nespresso®** Original compatibles).

Maximizing Dose: From 8g to 16g

The included adjustable basket allows for a ground coffee capacity between 8g and 16g. The capacity can be increased to 16g by pushing the coffee spout to release the filter and detaching the adjustment washer from the filter plate.

Quick Start and Long-Term Care

The product comes with a comprehensive set of accessories, including the Pixapresso unit, modules for ground coffee and NS capsules, a scoop/tamper, a funnel, a cleaning brush, two cups, a carrying pouch, and a USB-C cable. It is constructed from durable, food-safe materials, including Stainless Steel and BPA-free plastic. The product includes a 1-year warranty.

Your First Shot: Effortless Setup

The process involves unclipping the large cup, removing the internal parts, adding the coffee dose (8g tamped with the scoop) or inserting a capsule, filling the 120ml water tank, turning the device on by pressing the power button for two seconds, selecting the brew type (ristretto, espresso, etc.), and pressing the power button to begin heating and extraction. Maintenance requires rinsing the head, basket, and cups, and using the included brush to keep the filter plate clear; the main body must not be submerged or put in a dishwasher
