Frequently Asked Questions - Nanopresso Wacaco

How to prepare an espresso with the Nanopresso?

Fill the dosing scoop with 8 g of finely ground coffee, tamp firmly, screw on the filter holder, add boiling water to the tank (50-80 ml), screw on the main body, then pump at a rate of one pump per second until the coffee stops coming out. Preheat the parts with hot water for best results.

How much coffee should I use?

Use exactly 8 g of finely ground coffee for one dose. Do not exceed this amount as it increases internal pressure and may activate the pressure release valve.

What grind fineness is recommended?

A fine grind is recommended. If the coffee does not come out or the flow is too slow, grind coarser or tamp less.

How to clean the Nanopresso?

After each use, clean the hatched areas under running water and let dry. Every 20 espressos, deep clean the filter holder and nozzle parts with hot water using the provided brush. Every 6 months (300 espressos), clean the filter. Do not put in the dishwasher.

What to do if the coffee does not come out?

Slow down your pumping speed. If the problem persists, grind the beans coarser or slightly reduce the coffee amount. If the pressure release valve has opened, wait a few minutes before trying again.

How does the pressure release valve work?

The pressure release valve opens automatically when the pressure inside the filter basket reaches 18 bars, diverting water back to the tank to prevent overpressure. For a perfect espresso, maintain pressure below this threshold.

Can I use pods or capsules?

No, the Nanopresso is designed only for ground coffee. Do not use pods or capsules as this may damage the device.

What is the warranty on the Nanopresso?

Wacaco offers a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. It does not cover damage due to misuse, normal wear of seals and filter basket, or unauthorized repairs.

Can I heat water directly in the tank?

No, never heat water directly in the tank. Use an external heat source (kettle) and pour boiling water into the tank.

How to get a better espresso?

Use freshly roasted beans and filtered water. Preheat all parts and the cup with hot water. Grind just before extraction. Pump at one pump per second for about 30 seconds. Adjust grind and tamping if necessary.

CLEANING

It's important to respect your machine and clean it regularly. A good maintenance will allow you to use your Nanopresso for many years.

After each use clean the hatched areas under running water. Let the parts dry separately.

- From time to time (20 shots), deep clean the portafilter and the nozzle parts.

Clean up all those parts with hot water and the help of the provided brush.

DISPOSAL

Nanopresso has been manufactured using very high quality materials that can be reused or recycled.

Dispose of the appliance in a suitable waste collection center.

FOR BEST RESULTS

• Use fresh roasted coffee beans and filtered water.
• Preheat all Nanopresso parts as well as your cup by running a cycle with only hot water.
• Grind coffee beans just prior to prepare your espresso shot.
• Use a scales to measure the coffee grind quantity and make sure the weight is equal to 8 grams.
• Pump at the right tempo: one squeeze per second. Most types of espresso shot (ristretto, single, double...) extraction takes 30 around seconds. Don't hurry, take your time.

TROUBLESHOOT

Nanopresso integrates a new pumping system engineered around the addition of a pressure release valve. When the pressure inside the filter basket reaches 18 bar, the valve will open, allowing the water back into the water tank. For a perfect espresso shot, it's important to keep the pressure under 18 bar and avoid any opening of this valve.

To do so, there are 3 parameters to control :

• Coffee grind quantity. Too much coffee grind inside the filter basket increases the inner pressure.
• Coffee grind finesse. Too fine coffee grind increases the inner pressure.
• Pumping speed. A fast pumping action increases the inner pressure.

If coffee does not come out or the flow is negligible at each pumping :

- Slow down your pumping speed.

- Grind the bean a bit more coarsely. If you are using pre-ground coffee, try to lower your tamping force or decrease slightly the coffee grind quantity.

If the valve opened, wait few minutes before attempting to prepare a new espresso shot..
