It is so simple and quick to make your coffee favorite, plus also easy to manipulate the device. To pump the espresso maker takes a force that is 15% less to operate than the Minpresso that the company sells. It will be hard for the manufacturer to improve on this version of a portable and powerful espresso maker on the go since it seems to have everything going for it.

Use

We thought it would be a good idea to briefly tell you in this review just how simple it is to make a cup of espresso with this incredible product. You put the coffee grounds in the filter basket (8gr), screw the outlet head tightly on the body of the product, and put boiling water in the tank. Next, you unlock from the travel position the piston and hold the item with both hands to begin pumping over a cup. The protective materials of the mechanism will keep your hands from becoming hot or burned during this process. The pressure is created inside with the beginning eight strokes. It is at this point you can steep the brew a bit before releasing it into the cup for a stronger flavor. Continue pumping until you have all of the coffee from inside device now in the cup. It automatically makes the crema top for you without any additional effort. That is all there is to it! Just remember, you can do this anywhere, even in the most remote location in the world, as long as you have the hot water and the coffee grounds.

Accessories

With the Nanopresso NS Adapter, you can utilize the capsules and accessories of the previous Nespresso model plus create double shots of espresso. There is also a Nanopresso Barista Kit that will work with this device too. There is a special Nano-Mini Case for this device that you can purchase separately online to hold the espresso maker and all of its accessories in one neat package.

This product includes a built-in a cup, a pouch, a brush, a filter basket, stickers, a warranty card, and an instruction booklet in several languages. The pouch is a drawstring bag and not like the case that is a separate buy. Some people complained that the Barista Kit was not included with this item, but it is worth getting if you want the extra supplies to make your coffee. From online customers who gave valuable feedback and hints as to how they are using the Nanopresso, we have learned that each user will develop their own particular method for making their own espresso with this device. Some let it steep while others use special blends of coffees for a unique flavor and drinking experience. You too will create your own system of perfecting that ideal cup of java.

Accuracy

This section is just a few additional tips, product information, and suggestions on making the coffee that we found online in buyers’ remarks and feedback. Stable pressure of 18 bars (261 PSI) is created with just your hands for unparalleled coffee during extraction, which is how this maker functions without batteries or any external power. After boiling water is put in the tank, the mechanism is pumped manually with your hand.

Stopping after the pressure has formed in the device allows the coffee to then drip out of the product and into the cup. You will get a nice crema on top when it is finished. We noticed that some users waited after pumping the machine to let the water and coffee grounds steep a bit before they released the completed coffee. The flavor was improved by doing this simple trick. It is similar to letting tea steep before putting it in the cup for drinking. Use encapsulated pods of coffee or freshly ground product for the best-flavored espresso every time.
Those with arthritis or even carpal tunnel syndrome may have some trouble with the operation and pumping the Nanopresso device. It is best to know this especially if you plan on giving the product as a gift to someone else.

Ease of Use

Many comments online from very satisfied customers say how well this espresso maker outperforms some home espresso machines with its excellent results consistently. Any type of ground coffee will work in it, and a good buy is the Barista Kit as a separate purchase to complement this machine. Not everyone had a great experience with the Nanopresso when they purchased it. A few stated that it was hard to clean and not really worth the trouble to do so each time they wanted a cup of coffee. Others claimed that the device stopped working well for them after a short time period of a few months or so. If you follow the directions for operation, there should not be any problems down the road. Cleaning the mechanism is just good practice for ensuring your own safety for cleanliness, germ-prevention, and a great tasting cup of coffee every time.

Bottom Line

Of course, if you have any type of muscle or joint problem with your hands or wrists, you will most likely not be able to use the Nanospresso well. Some people had trouble with the machine working after using it for a few months, but just enough users to mention the issue in this review. The majority of customers are thrilled with this extraordinary device and its incredible performance in making a superb cup of coffee anywhere and at any time. You cannot beat the convenience and the flexibility that it offers for coffee lovers who often find themselves without a source for a good cup of coffee. The best solution is to bring your own. You can do just that with this little device that is so powerful and functional to give you just what you want. We think that you will be pleased with this product’s technology and consistent results, as many other users are currently enjoying it in their lives.
