Wacaco has become something of a renowned name in a handful of distinct niche spaces. You have your outdoorsy adventurous types who need a good way to make coffee while they’re off in the mountains, the specialty coffee crowd who get a lot of their kicks from novel ways to brew their favourite beverage, and the design nerds who just love a well-built piece of kit. All of these demographics love Wacaco.

The Nanopresso was arguably the product that first put Wacaco on the map, appearing seemingly overnight on outdoor and kitchen shop shelves after its 2017 launch, but the Hong Kong-based company’s first crack at a portable, manual espresso maker was actually the original Minipresso, released in 2014. 10 years later the newest iteration, the Minipresso GR2, is Wacaco’s most portable and eco-friendly product yet.

Like its predecessor, the Minipresso GR2 is a compact, lightweight manual espresso maker. It sports an award-winning minimalist design that is 30% smaller than the original Minipresso, and is made in part (20% to be exact) of wheat-composed polymers, making it more eco-friendly. It’s also just as easy to use as ever. Simply fill up the basket with ground coffee, fill the water chamber with freshly boiled water, aim the spout over the cap-cup and start pumping. The innovative hand pump, paired with a pressurised filter basket, can generate up to 18 bars of pressure, more than enough to produce authentic espresso. 

A more compact, sustainable build isn’t the only new thing the Minipresso GR2 has going for it. It also features an adjustable portafilter basket, allowing you to choose between 8 and 12g of coffee. Play around and find the right dose for your taste in espresso! The brewer also comes with a dosing funnel in the box, a convenient attachment that makes it easier to dose in your coffee with less risk of spilling it over the sides of the basket.  

All in all, the Minipresso GR2 is a fantastic portable espresso maker. With its lightweight, elegant and compact build, and ability to brew genuine espresso, it's really the perfect companion for any coffee-loving nomad or gadget-fiend.
