5.0 out of 5 starsGreat extension to an already great product
Reviewed in Australia on 21 April 2019
We always take our Nanopresso with us on trips and holidays. It makes a great espresso for such a tiny package. The downside was that it could only deliver a single shot of espresso at a time. You then had to clean the basket, dry the whole thing, refill and tamp the basket, reboil the water, etc. By the time the second shot was done, the first one had gone totally cold.
The Barista Kit solves the "coffee for one" limitation by providing two double-shot baskets, 1 additional single-shot basket, an extension ring to make room for the double-shot basket, and a larger water container. The result is that I can now fill and tamp two baskets. I fill the water container with enough water for two coffees, press the first, replace the basket and press the second. We now have two freshly made espressos (single or double shots depending on the time of day) both nice and hot. Perfect for a globe-trotting couple like us.

2.0 out of 5 starsStuck basket tank stuffed
Reviewed in Australia on 7 October 2021
I mistakenly stored the basket in the bottom of the large water tank when packing the nanopress away and it is now completely jammed/wedged/stuck in the bottom. Nothing, and I mean nothing (!!!) will get it out. Now I cannot use the tank to full capacity and the basket obviously cannot be used. Do not make this rookie error, it is very frustrating and you’ll need a new kit if you want the large tank.

1.0 out of 5 stars Falls short of expectations
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 April 2022
Verified Purchase
We've got the Nanopresso and a few other accessories and decided to buy the barista kit to make double espressos and longer coffees.

We've been happy with the main unit but unfortunately the barista kit falls short. The most annoying thing is that the cup on the bottom of the water container is loose and is not retained with the same satisfying click as the regular sized water container. This is a pain because it means you cannot pick the unit up by the large water container end or the cup slides off and whatever is attached to the other end is likely to fall and impact the floor.

If I'd paid £10 for it I would probably overlook this but when you spend £35 on a few bits of injection moulded plastic you have expectations about quality control.

1.0 out of 5 stars A lacklustre addition to an excellent machine
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2019
Verified Purchase
Really dissapointing. I love my nanopresso, it makes a great shot of espresso on the move. A beautifully engineered piece of kit.

The same can not be said for this overpriced accessory pack. The extension sleeve that spaces the gap around the coffee pod is so poorly engineered that it leaks as soon as the machine is up to pressure. wrpping teflon tape on the thread solves the problem most of the time, but really? That's an acceptable situation. No leakage with the thread on the main machine. Extender sleeve clealy not milled to the same standards.

Furthermore, and more importantly, it doesn't seem like the nanopresso quite has the oomph to shift water through a double depth capsule. It's a real struggle with the double, even if one uses a slightly lesss fine grind and tamps only lightly, it still feels like the machine is struggling, and the backpressure valve tends to blow 5 times out of ten. More often than not, I can barely get more water through the double than i do through the single capsule, even with the larger reservoir.

The dedicated tamper is a nice touch, although, as noted above, don't use it with any vigour or you will render the kit non functional.

A dismal offering from a company who's previous output has been exemplary. Dissapointing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Works once in a blue moon
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2019

I've finally given up using this product after a few months of occasional use. Sometimes it works, usually not - just dripping from the sides slowly out. There is clearly too much coffee for the unit with the double basket. This is in pressurised and non pressurised mode. Makes it a waste of money. You're left with using another single basket and filling the small water container twice if you want a longer coffee. Makes it a colossal waste of money. The attachment for the double basket doesn't seem to quite connect right either. Actual coffee when it works is outstanding.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed because the item we received wasn't new.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 September 2021
Verified Purchase
We love the nanopresso and wanted to get this accessory - quite disappointed, because the bag was open and the item was damaged (dents on the double espresso ring) and with missing lid for the single cup. There were also traces of coffee as can be seen in the pictures. We will re-order and hope that we will get what we pay for. Please make sure that you send a new product when you advertise it as new.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Total Disappointment
Reviewed in Canada on 14 December 2018
Verified Purchase
I purchased the Nanopresso to use when I am working in Africa in order to enjoy espresso and take advantage of the great coffee available here.

I had a problem from the beginning with water leaking through the orange seal and out the three bottom vents into my cup when I was pumping. I contacted Wacaco and they made several suggestions, none of which worked. After I contacted them advising them that their suggestions were not working they stopped responding.

Today I went to use the Nanopresso and it failed completely. I used it as I normally do but pumping creates no pressure so the Nanopresso is basically useless. I have contacted Wacaco requesting a refund for the Nanopresso and the accessories I purchased. I will update this review with the results.

I am giving one star only because I can't select none.

Update: Wacaco said they will send me a replacement at no cost. I will update again once I receive it.

Update: Wacaco sent me a replacement and I'm very happy with it. Great customer service. Up my recommendation to 5 stars.
