Wacaco

Wacaco builds hand-powered portable espresso makers that pull a real crema-topped shot with no electricity and no batteries — just a manual piston reaching up to 18 bar. Pocket-sized and travel-built, they turn ground coffee and hot water into genuine espresso anywhere, from a campsite to an airport lounge.
