Wacaco Picopresso Portable Espresso Maker

Small Enough to Travel. Serious Enough for Specialty Coffee.

Most portable espresso makers focus on convenience.

The Wacaco Picopresso focuses on espresso.

Designed around a commercial-style 52mm filter basket and a naked portafilter, the Picopresso gives you complete control over every extraction. It doesn’t rely on capsules or pressurised baskets to create crema. Instead, it rewards good technique with rich, syrupy espresso that rivals many home machines.

Whether you’re travelling, camping, working away from home or simply short on kitchen space, the Picopresso lets you enjoy authentic espresso wherever there’s access to hot water.

Why We Stock It

There are plenty of portable coffee makers.

Very few make genuine espresso.

The Picopresso stands out because it doesn’t take shortcuts. It expects the same fundamentals as a traditional espresso machine: a quality grinder, fresh coffee and good puck preparation. The reward is exceptional flavour, impressive crema and complete control over your brewing.

For coffee lovers who refuse to compromise when travelling, it’s one of the finest portable espresso makers available.

Built for Coffee Without Compromise

The Wacaco Picopresso is ideal for:

• Travel
• Camping
• Business trips
• Hotel stays
• Home baristas
• Outdoor adventures
• Specialty coffee enthusiasts

Features

Commercial-Style 52mm Filter Basket

Unlike many portable brewers that use small pressurised baskets, the Picopresso features a larger 52mm stainless steel basket capable of holding up to 18g of coffee. This creates a more even extraction and produces authentic espresso with excellent body and flavour.

Bottomless Portafilter

Watch every extraction as it happens. The naked portafilter not only looks impressive but also helps you improve your puck preparation and brewing technique by revealing channeling or uneven extraction.

True Manual Espresso

The manual pump is capable of generating up to 18 bar of pressure, with the ideal extraction taking place between 9 and 12 bar. This allows you to brew café-quality espresso without electricity or batteries.

Compact Travel Design

At just 350g, the Picopresso fits easily into a backpack, suitcase or camping kit without taking up valuable space.

Built for Adventure

Constructed from stainless steel, aluminium and durable BPA-free materials, the Picopresso is designed to withstand years of travel and daily use.

Easy to Clean

Once you’ve finished brewing, simply rinse the basket and brew components with warm water. No complicated maintenance or electronics required.

Specifications

Aura Bean Brewing Tip

The Picopresso rewards precision. Pair it with freshly roasted coffee and a high-quality burr grinder capable of grinding for espresso. Start with an 18g dose, pre-infuse for around 8–10 seconds, then build steady pressure throughout the extraction. Like a traditional lever machine, small changes to your grind size can make a significant difference to the flavour in the cup.

The Aura Bean Difference

At Aura Bean, we don’t believe portable coffee should mean average coffee.

The equipment we stock is chosen because it delivers genuine brewing performance, not just convenience. As coffee professionals, we look for products that allow you to enjoy specialty coffee wherever life takes you, whether that’s in the mountains, on the road or at home.

The Picopresso is one of those rare products that consistently exceeds expectations.
