Hi
Has anyone tried this new espresso maker,
https://www.wacaco.com/ ?
A coffee tragic from Melbourne is considering investing, the weight looks good for bushwalking and from the website it seems to make espresso rather than filter coffee.
Best regards

http://www.home-barista.com/espresso-ma ... 34103.htmlhttps://gearjunkie.com/wacaco-minipresso-reviewsounds heavy but the extraction is good. weight is 360g which is 70g heaver than an aeropress...not a dealbreaker. But the aeropress is cheaper. User submitted Reviews on gearjunkie are equivocal.
If I didn't already have an aeropress I'd consider it.

I bought the minipresso recently. Very compact and not too heavy. Makes a nice but very small espresso. I often make 2 in a row as I find 1 is not always enough. It is important to run hot water thru first otherwise the espresso is not hot enough. Was surprised to find by experiment that water from a good thermos flask was plenty hot enough for good extraction of flavour. All up I am happy with my purchase.
