NANOPRESSO BARISTA KIT

However, it takes a lot of effort pumping, and is s bit hard on my thumbs, so i turn it a bit and use my palms and heels of my hands to push the plunger in; Not a deal-breaker, though, becaus it is fantastic espresso! What a treat to know I can take this with me, and as long as I can microwave or stove boil water, that I am guaranteed a great cup of coffee! I have drunk a shot with sugar and heavy cream, which I love! I’ve also used the shot(s) to make mixed espresso drinks, both hot AND cold! Total yumminess! I definitely recommend this portable espresso maker. I purchased the separate Simpresso pod accessory that allows you to not use grounds. It makes the whole process easier to clean! Even though it’s not the best environmental choice, I like the convenience of them. I also purchased the “lungo” accessory, but have not used it yet. It allows you to make a larger shot. You can buy “lungo” pods at most stores… I love the selection at the local Target store!! If uou are even researching hthis item, then you definitely need this espresso maker, so don’t hesitate! This is by far the best one I have used!

If you are considering getting a nanopress get this at the same time along with it. Don’t even bother to hesitate and just get it. If I had just bought the NP on its own I wouldn’t like it nearly as much but this expansion kit is basically what I consider the NP should be. I did this based on other reviewers comments and 100% agree. So glad I got both right out of the gate. So just get this. It has a nice little tamper. The scoop suffices as a tamper but I actually like the next level of the tamper. I don’t see in what situation I would use all the extra baskets especially the one shot ones since I’m a double shot basically always.

"BARISTA KIT": I think it is worth it, although you get a little bit more than you would really need. You get THREE "filter baskets" (2x 16g and 1x 8g) which allows you to "preload" the coffee to make them one after the other. Frankly, that leaves you with FOUR baskets if you include the one that already came with the Nanopress, which at that point, is unnecessary. They could have left out the extra 8oz IMHO, reducing cost a little bit. The included tamper is nice and much easier to use than the coffee scoop included with the Nanopresso. For traveling, you can easily fit both large coffee filters into the unit, as well as the tamper. You can't fit the coffee scoop in, however, with some "fiddling" you can fit the cleaning brush in, which is important. IMHO, the "Barista Kit" is worth buying as it allows you to make more coffee quickly. It also allows more variation in the strength of the coffee, since you have the larger coffee baskets and you can put a little less coffee in the water tank if you prefer a a stronger brew if you like but still have plenty of brew in your cup! (With the smaller water tank, your adjustment options are more limited.) (We found filling up the water tank to capacity produced a slightly weaker brew than we prefer, so the option to use a little less water but still have plenty of coffee was preferred.) There had been some comments in a review or two about "oh, my coffee isn't as hot when I use the larger water tank..." What?? Really?? "Cooled down coffee?" How long does it take you to pump a few extra pumps for a larger cup? Are you using lukewarm tap water and then waiting a half an hour before drinking??? I found no such issue with "cooler coffee." And if you're using just-boiled water, you better be careful that it does sit a bit so you don't burn yourself. No, no issue with "cooler coffee." Finally, including here a review on the "Wacaco Nanopresso Case, Protective Case for Nanopresso"... This I don't rate so highly. It is a very tight fit for the Nanopress, regardless of whether you have the basic unit or the "Barista kit extension tube." Both units will fit length-wise into the case, but the height (diameter) of the unit (which doesn't change) makes it a very tight fit. While there is an outdent to accommodate the unit's pump handle bulge, you can't fit anything else in the container, such as the very small but very necessary filter brush. As long as there already is a bulge in the case, there really should be a small compartment to put that kind of accessory in. In that, I'll ding it 1 star. What are you going to do with the brush, besides loose it? Better yet, instead of a compartment, just making the case as little as an inch longer would accommodate the brush and maybe another accessory or two, and certainly wouldn't increase the size much at all.

Awesome product! The only reason I give this only 4 stars is because I feel like it would have been nice if this wasn’t an additional item and it came with the kit. For an additional $30 it feels a bit much for something as simple as a double shot vs a single shot. Other than that, it’s extremely easy to use and clean and the instructions explain very well how to use it with the original product! This speeds up the process of making espresso based drinks with the nanopresso a TON and I am extremely grateful for it!

If you like espressos and need that fix in the mornings wherever you are, then nanopresso is probably for you. The espresso you get is probably not as great as the one you could make on an industrial grade machine, however in my experience the taste and quality depend a lot on your grind and tamping. So I've been able to produce some really decent tasting espressos with the nanopresso. The clear reason for getting this is portability! I keep it in my bag so wherever I go, if I can find some coffee beans I can make an espresso. (I also have a cheap $15 grinder I found on Amazon that's very portable). All you need is a bit of hot water and you can start making espresso! I bought the barista kit also, it's a great addition because it's super compact and I enjoy the coffee I can make using the double filter basket slightly more than the single basket. Minor thing, but it does make a difference. I take the nanopresso out with me on camping and hiking trips and theres really nothing else like having an espresso in while taking in some beautiful scenery. It's also super easy to clean, I usually just wipe it down outdoors, then rinse it and let it air dry when I'm home. Thumbs up from me!

Superenkel att använda!

De ring (het zilveren deel) wordt overgezet naar de nanopresso en de watertank wissel je om. Wat je dan overhoudt is een kleine unit waarin je een van de twee dubbele espresso koffiemaling doosjes in kunt bewaren, de andere stop ik vast in de nanopresso. Het bovendeel van de kleine unit wordt vervolgens gebruikt om een koffiestamper in te bewaren, als je het mij vraagt is het echter een gemiste kans dat je daar niet ook een voorraaddoosje in kunt stoppen maar dat had de unit misschien wat lomper doen uitkomen. Je kunt er natuurlijk wel losse koffie in stoppen maar dat wordt wel een rommeltje. Er zit ook nog een single shot doosje in, persoonlijk vind ik dat een beetje zinloos, als je kiest voor de barista kit dan is dat waarschijnlijk omdat je graag een dubbele shot drinkt en niet omdat je daarmee twee mensen koffie wilt geven (dan kun je net zo goed twee keer schenken). Houdt er rekening mee dat de watertank niet bepaald warmte vasthoudt, als je hem voor onderweg hebt dan neem je dus apart een kleine thermosfles mee.

Great kit for when you want to make a double espresso, and the extra baskets are handy and the tamper is perfect

Aldığım nanopresso’nun kahve miktarını artırmak için bu ürünü de almıştım. İçinde yedek kahve hazneleri de var. Gayet kullanışlı bir ürün. Teşekkürler.

I have a Wacaco Nanopresso since 2021, it was a present from my girlfriend who knew that at work the coffee is horrible and for months I am stuck with it. I am perfectly happy with the Nanopresso ( now on my second one, the plunger on the first one broke after three + years of daily use,it still works but it’s a bit tricky to work with ). Anyway, she asked me after that if I would like the barista kit and I’ve been saying no for all this years, but after I got it now ( it’s vastly more convenient for bulletproof coffee ) realise that I should have gotten it earlier already. It’s a nice kit, and quite handy!
