Electric autonomy for your barista-quality espresso in your converted van

Imagine: you wake up early in the morning, your van door open to a breathtaking landscape. Wouldn't this magical moment be simply perfect with a delicious barista-quality coffee? This dream is about to become reality with the Pixapresso!

No need to sacrifice precious space or require complex electrical installation: as Wacaco's first fully electric and self-heating portable espresso machine, it's designed for adventure, offering the perfect autonomy and compactness for van life. Gone are the tedious manual pumps or dependence on a massive inverter: with the Pixapresso, you get perfect extraction of your coffee at the press of a button.

Its sleek black design houses a powerful pump that delivers a maximum pressure of 20 bars, guaranteeing a rich espresso topped with thick crema, cup after cup. Thanks to its integrated 3000mAh battery, you can prepare up to 5 hot espressos from cold water before recharging. Its ultra-compact size, approximately 25% smaller than its competitors, allows you to store it easily in a drawer or small cupboard in your leisure vehicle.

The intuitive touchscreen gives you total control, allowing you to choose from three temperature levels (88, 92 or 96°C) to adapt the brewing to your coffee's roast. Versatile, it works with both ground coffee (with an adjustable filter from 8 to 16g for a single or double shot) and NS capsules from the most famous espresso brand, offering you maximum flexibility. What else could you ask for?

To enjoy this delicious coffee, of course: the Pixapresso includes two cups (100 ml and 300 ml) for minimal bulk during your travels.

Purchasing the Pixapresso is the assurance of lasting reliability: its battery is replaceable and its charging is universal via USB-C, making it compatible with all common 5V/3A power sources in the van world. For those exploring all nomadic coffee options, whether you prefer the simplicity of capsules or the complete experience of fresh grinding with a manual model like the Wacaco barista-quality Picopresso or filter brewing with the Pipamoka portable vacuum coffee maker, the Wacaco range offers a solution suited to every adventure.

Key advantages of the Pixapresso
