Maybe the follow up to this video can include using the specialty coffee of your choice through reusable pods. Lifestyle Lab had a pretty good video on this that might be useful.

How is the end product compared to the picopresso?When is nanopresso 2 coming. I feel like version 2 nanopresso would be better than the picopresso. That would be a great news especially if they cut the size to somewhat near the ns2.

Excellent product review! Truly one of the better I have seen on KZread across industries. Very clear, great reference and comparison to older versions, nice delivery! Thank you- very helpful!

Thanks for review😄

Here are my observations/tips after owning this thing for a few months: - I only fill water to just a few millimetres above the cream coloured branding inside the tank. I wonder if this was meant to be a fill line anyway? (The old model had a fill line). Any more water will result in an espresso that is far too long, and also creates issues trying to close the lid without burning yourself. - I absolutely 100% only use compostible coffee capsules. It makes the pumping so much easier and smoother, still resulting in a perfect espresso. Depends on the brand but aluminium capsules can cause difficulty pumping and difficulty keeping the thing straight, resulting in splatters and missing the cup. Also it's far easier to screw the bottom bit on with a compostable capsule. - After about a month of daily use, I went against the user guide and washed it gently with a little dish soap, pumped some soapy water through it then gave a very thorough rinse. Definitely freshened up the whole device and made the coffee taste better.

@@willng34 Compostable capsules make the whole device far easier to pump whilst holding straight, as I mentioned, so I haven't tried many pods apart from compostable ones. If you live in Australia, from the major supermarkets I recommend Sacred Grounds and St. Ali brands (St Ali have an online store) and I also highly recommend Coles brand organic compostable pods. I'm not much of a fan of the Grinders brand (at both Coles and Woolworths) but still they have a good range and are 100% compostable pods.

@@BrodieVissers Hi thanks! Great idea in regards to the apple cider vinegar! I find it strange they don't recommend some kind of occasional deep clean as it's pretty standard for coffee makers made of plastic to require descaling at some point! Yep how good are compostable capsules in this thing, so much easier to pump and no difference to the brew vs aluminium!

Good to know about your experience with all capsules. I was about to purchase the NS2 and use with SealPod reusable metal capsules that use a foil sticker seal to enclose the coffee. Now I'm wondering if there will be compatibility issues using the re-usable metal pods with foil seals.😞 I was going to grind my own local roasted coffee. This was going to be my solution for at work or travel, besides my Aeropress.

How is it compared to actual nespresso machine? Also is there a gasket around the capsule slot, which can be good when using compatible capsules ?

Hi Brodie. Love the review. very concise, clear and comprehensive. I own a Nanopresso + NS adapter. One issue I have is that I get a fair amount of coffee grounds in my espressos as the Nanopresso puncture pins enter the pointy end of the capsule and filters water through to the wider base of the capsule. This is the opposite of Nespresso machines. I've dissected a capsule and there is a thin filter at the pointy tip to stop grounds from leaking into the drink. Not sure why Wacaco reversed the puncture orientation. Does the MiniPresso NS2 fix this?

Ok, I think they must have done it because of the shape of the machine and to make it more compact, but I don't know as much about those technical details unfortunately

I too have had this same problem with the Nanopresso with NS adapter. I believe that the reasons for this occurrence are: 1) the "waffle" on the NS adapter is not deep or angular enough to ensure good perforation of the foil, and 2) the inconsistent pressure caused by hand pumping can create a sudden spike in pressure that creates a tear in the foil on the top of the capsule. I think that a redesigned "waffle" would alleviate or lessen the problem. I don't have a Minipresso NS2, so cannot not say as to whether or not that issue has been fixed. But, there is another KZread review of the Minipresso NS2 by John Anthony Jacob where you can see a closeup of the "waffle" and it does look significantly different from the Nanopresso NS adapter version. Additionally, I don't believe that you are correct with your understanding of the water flow within a genuine Nespresso machine. I believe that it is the same as what Wacaco is using. I have carefully dissected a genuine Nespresso capsule and found what appears to be a stretchy (latex?) membrane at the narrow end of the capsule. I think that this stretches around the puncture blades and prevents coffee granules from being ejected from the rear of the capsule as water enters under pressure. The membrane will stretch under water pressure, but then contract and almost seal as pressure drops.

Please I’m interested to buy which one should I buy old version or ns2 from your experience thanks so much

Yes, it's true I work with Wacaco quite frequently. There are benefits to the NS2 for sure as I stated here, but if you have the NS1, updating I think would be mostly a preference thing. If it were up to me, I would try one of the other coffee makers that doesn't have the capsule, if you already have the NS1

Excellent review! Thank you for making it. I'm using the Nanopresso with NS adapter at the moment and need to consider switching.... But I do have one question: With the NS adapter, I've found that sometimes the foil from the larger end of the capsule will stick to the ridges on the top of the Nanopresso. It's not a big deal, but it can make a small mess. Does the Minipresso NS2 also have this problem sometimes? Thanks again for your review! I've left a comment on your other video rundown of the whole Wacaco family of devices. I look forward to watching your videos!

Hey Erik! So, I think if you already have Nanopresso with NS adapter, there won’t be much difference except that this one is even smaller. Function is the same :) And in honestly never had this issue with the foil sticking, I’ve used a range of different aluminum capsules, I guess the only thing I can say is that I stick the capsule punctured onto the prongs first. Maybe this makes a difference.
