This specialty coffee espresso machine refuses to sacrifice shot quality while keeping the compact size. While most portable espresso machines use a pressurized basket, ensuring grind size isn’t essential. Overall, this leaves the workflow of the Picopresso not just far more straightforward than you’d imagine but downright enjoyable.
