Wacaco Minipresso NS2 | Nespresso Capsule Coffee Maker

The Wacaco Minipresso NS2 is a compact and portable Nespresso  capsule coffee maker that enhances the espresso brewing experience. Unlike traditional Nespresso machines, the Minipresso NS2 allows users to manually apply pressure, pre-infusing the coffee capsule for improved flavor extraction. The capsule’s pre-ground, measured, and tamped nature ensures consistent results with each use.

Wacaco designed the Minipresso NS2 to be more compact than its predecessor, shaving 46mm off its height while impressively expanding its water tank for additional capacity. This model also includes a drip tray, which will be welcome if, like us, you despise coffee drips on the counter.

If you haven’t used a Minipresso machine before, know that this isn’t a complicated contraption. It’s a container with a water tank, accessed from the top, into which you pour the hot water. Slot a coffee capsule into the chamber at the other end. You use the piston to pump the water from the tank through the coffee capsule; the resulting espresso will pour through the portafilter head.

Similar to other Minipresso models, the Wacaco Minipresso NS2’s parts all fit together. This includes the mini cup into which you’ll pour and drink the espresso from, a drip tray and the cleaning brush – the last two are small enough to store in the water tank when it isn’t in use.

Just be sure to remove the drip tray when you attempt to make coffee. We made the common mistake of keeping the tray in the tank whilst trying to pump out espresso; the pressure it creates prevents liquid from coming out. The lack of instructions with our pre-production unit and the fact that the NS model didn’t have a drip tray meant that we weren’t aware of its inclusion nor use and therefore assumed it should remain in the tank.
