Barista control, wherever you set your cup
Tired of weak travel coffee or juggling a kettle and pump? Pixapresso heats, controls, and extracts in one unit. Set your temperature, choose pre-infusion, then press a button for a rich, balanced shot.
With Wacaco design know-how, you can brew with fresh ground coffee or Nespresso Original compatible capsules. It suits home, office, study desks, and weekends away.
Start by unclipping the large cup and removing the parts from the water tank. Fill the adjustable basket with 8 to 16 grams, or load an NS capsule, then assemble the head. Fill the 120 ml tank with water, turn on, choose your drink style, and press to heat and extract. In about three minutes you are sipping espresso with pleasing body and crema.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Will it work with my coffee setup?
Yes. Pixapresso brews with extra fine ground coffee 8 to 16 grams in the supplied basket, or with Nespresso Original compatible capsules. It is battery-powered and self-heating, so no separate kettle or pump is needed.
-
How do I get steady results shot to shot?
Use a consistent extra fine grind and dose 8 g for a short shot or 16 g for a double. Pick a temperature to suit your roast, 88, 92, or 96 degrees Celsius, and enable the five-second pre-infusion for a rounder, more balanced extraction. The display lets you repeat the same settings each time.
-
How should I clean it?
After brewing, discard the puck or capsule, rinse the shower head, outlet head, basket, and cups, then brush the filter plate. Wipe the body, do not submerge, and avoid dishwashers. Top up your kit from our cleaning products.
-
What is it made from? Is it food safe?
It uses PP, PA6T, PBT, stainless steel, and silicone. BPA free plastic is used for parts that contact water and coffee. The product complies with CE, FCC, UKCA, EAC, WEEE, ROHS, REACH, LFGB, and FDA requirements.
-
How long does the battery take to charge and how many shots can I brew?
The 3000 mAh 3S battery charges via USB-C 5 V, 3 A in about two and a half hours. From cold water you can brew up to eight ristrettos, five espressos, or two lungos, and over 200 extractions using preheated water.
