Wacaco Pixapresso Portable Espresso Maker
Bring café-quality espresso wherever you go with the Wacaco Pixapresso: an elegant, compact, electric portable espresso maker designed for serious coffee lovers who refuse to compromise on flavour, convenience or control.
What Makes It Special
-
Electric & Self-Heating: No external kettle needed. Pixapresso heats ~55 ml of cold water to the perfect brewing temperature (choose from 88 °C, 92 °C, or 96 °C) in about 180 seconds.
-
Battery Powered: A 3000 mAh 3S battery gives you enough charge for about 5 espressos from cold water, or many more if using pre-heated water. Recharges via USB-C (5V/3A) in ~2½ hours
-
Generous Water Capacity: 120 ml stainless-steel tank lets you pull a lungo or a double shot without refilling.
-
Choice of Coffee Styles: Use ground coffee (8-16 g, adjustable basket) for full control, or pop in NS (“Nespresso Original”) compatible capsules for convenience.
Functional Highlights & Controls
-
Touch-Sensitive LED Display: Easily customise your brew—select temperature, pre-infusion, shot style (ristretto, espresso, double espresso, or lungo), and monitor battery.
-
Pre-Infusion & Pressure Extracting: Offers a pre-infusion mode to gently bloom the coffee before full extraction, for balanced flavour. High-pressure pump (~20 bars) gives a thick, velvety crema.
Portability & Build
-
Compact & Travel-Friendly: Only 181 mm tall and ~755 g. Designed to be carried in your gear—office, van life, camping.
-
Designed for Protection: Brewing head and espresso cup store inside the water tank to protect components during transit. The larger cup acts as a cover for display/power button when stored.
