Food and Cooking

Also, I’m curious what your experience has been with Wacaco. To me the Pico/Nanopresso have seemed interesting from a travel perspective, but for home brewing don’t look too useful. Curious what your primary use case is.

I've got the Cuppamoka (fancy pour-over device) and the Pipamoka, but I'd really love to get a Pico/Mini/Nanopresso.

Both the Cuppamoka and Pipamoka make nice coffee, but I prefer the Cuppamoka's results better. Technique is important, and I was getting nearly the same results before as I do now with a better hand grinder and more appropriate grind settings.

I do use these both at home, but I'm a bit of a freak with making coffee using less common methods, even thought I've got pretty decent espresso and Nespresso machines. LOL

I don't know what it is about using them, but I appreciate the all-in-one nature of them both, and the fact that I don't need a machine to make coffee.

The Pico/Mini/Nanopresso would likely be less used at home, but I'd still enjoy using one :) If I can find a way to make coffee while out on long bike rides, without needing to boil water on the go, I'd totally get one.

Now, Hoffman did have another video comparing a bunch of portable espresso makers, and he was using boiled/hot water out of an insulated thermos, which sounds like it could work. I might just try it out with the Pipamoka!
