Why It Made The List
A go-to for espresso lovers who like to travel light, the award-winning GR2 Minipresso delivers barista-level coffee anywhere you can imagine—beach, backcountry, aisle seat or mountaintop. This updated model uses ground coffee (not pods) and generates up to 18 bars of pressure, producing a rich shot with real crema, no electricity required. It’s even more compact than the original, packing easily into a bag or glovebox. Smart details like a built-in cup and easier-to-clean design make it genuinely practical for travel and outdoor adventures. If you want café-quality espresso off the grid, this is the tool you need.

The Wacaco Minipresso GR2 is a compact, manual espresso maker built for travel, adventure, or any situation where great coffee is a must, but space and power are limited.
Standing just 125mm tall and weighing only 285g, it's impressively portable and fully self-contained.
All the accessories you need—scoop, funnel, brush, cup—nest inside the main body, making it easy to toss into a bag or pack without any loose parts.
Designed for use with ground coffee (not capsules), the GR2 features an adjustable filter basket that holds 8 to 12 grams, letting you tailor your brew strength.
It’s the more eco-conscious option compared to pod-based systems, producing less waste and giving you full control over the coffee you use.
The integrated semi-automatic piston builds up to 18 bars of pressure—more than enough to extract a rich, crema-layered espresso shot.
The 80ml water tank delivers a full 60ml espresso, and the double-walled design keeps things comfortable to hold, even after filling with hot water.
Constructed using a wheat-based polymer blend alongside BPA-free plastics, the GR2 balances lightweight design with reduced environmental impact. It’s compact, efficient, and built to last.
This isn’t just clever engineering—it’s award-winning too. The Minipresso GR2 has received multiple product design awards, including the 2024 Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award, recognising its balance of form, function, and portability.
If you want real espresso without electricity, bulk, or waste, the Minipresso GR2 delivers—reliably, sustainably, and in the palm of your hand.
