WACACO Pipamoka Portable Coffee Maker, Coffee brewer, All-in-one Vacuum Pressured，Insulated Travel Mug, Hand Powered and Filter Pressure Brewer, Stainless Steel Thermo Cup, 10 fl oz

This makes delicious coffee. It takes a little bit of getting used to to develop the right sense of when it is at the end of the vacuum and it’s ready to come off. There is a squeaking that happens near the end of the coffee canister and then a slight release in pressure when you know you’re on the top and it’s finished extracting. I highly recommend removing the top to release pressure before you try to separate the vacuuming component from the thermos on the bottom. I learned this the hard way, but I have hands that can touch heat directly from many years of cooking so even though coffee went everywhere I was fine. Now I know better to make sure to release the vacuum pressure before I remove the vacuum mechanism. You will have to experiment to find the right sized grind. I found it to be somewhere between a finer version French press yet not an espresso grind that works best. I really love the flavor profile this device brings to coffee. There are more subtle notes that the vacuum process produces than any other way. It’s much more similar to a percolator without the glass explosion danger. It’s really very easy to use once you get the hang of it. I really love the fact of its portability and how long it keeps a brew hot in a very well insulated cup. It’s very lightweight so easily can be packed and taken on the go. The cover top snapped into place very tightly. I am hoping that this actually is a little bit easier overtime with use since I find it so tight that it tends to spill. I struggle with it but it may get easier with use over time. When I do the extraction I just leave the cover on top without pressing it into place since I find it too difficult to take off without a tool once pressurized. Perhaps the little brush that comes with it can act like a little screwdriver to pop the lid. I’ll try that. The screw process doing the vacuum can be a little challenging for someone with small hands. I found for myself. I leave it on the counter and then put it on a small kitchen rag so that I can spin it freely without gripping on the counter. It is actually nice that there is a little grippy material on the bottom of the thermos canister part. These are very well-made products, extremely creative designs, and highly functional for the price point especially. Made for true coffee connoisseurs and does not disappoint.

It works great and makes delicous coffee

I love travel gadgets and this is one of them. I've made about 9 cups since I received it and all have been equal. The screw on lid keeps it hot and safe from spills and keeps your coffee hot for quite a while. You can get a hand and forearm work out using this, but it's worth it. I find holding the cup and turning the orange ring started causing a sore spot on the side of my index finger. I find holding the ring steady and turning the cup counterclockwise has resolved that issue. Older people or people with soft hands, like office workers, may find this info handy. I do have to stop maybe twice during the process because it gets a little tough to turn. You will know when your getting close to completing the process when you start to hear a squeaking noise from the from plunger gasket in the cup and then when done, the orange turning ring turns easily. At this point gently pull the threaded tube to the side and the seal breaks. Easy cleanup after that. I use this travel cup at work and it's really handy if you have access to hot water. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Very cool. Excellent coffee quality. It takes a bit of effort to keep turning the bottle, as the plastic in the gear heats up a little and becomes slightly hard to turn, but nothing too serious. The result is excellent. The quality of the bottle is also very good. Totally worth it.

Excelente producto

love being able to make a cup of coffee without the waste and cost of a k-cup. much better tasting coffee as well when you grind fresh beans

Let me just say right off the bat that I don’t drink coffee. However, I really, really enjoy making coffee for my significant other (I still taste test). For the home we have a Chemex, but needed something that would work well for camping (the single pour over baggies and the French press just weren’t working). We don’t need to look any further. This thing is amazing!!! The coffee is consistently delicious and easy to make if you follow the simple steps (which only take tops 2 times to remember). Aside from making a perfectly extracted cup of coffee, keeping said coffee warm on a cold camping morning and being able to grab the cup and go for a hike is just awesome. We looked at the AeroPress, but what sold us was the heat retention of the cup and how compact the entire contraption was, no need for anything additional cups. I have seen a couple of reviews where folks had trouble turning it. This has only happened to me once (and even then my 8 y/o could still turn it) and I think it has to do with the way the pod is situated. Just make sure ALL the bubbles are out before starting the extraction. Don’t hesitate. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! p.s. For the manufacturer reading this... the only thing that would make this even better than perfect would be a lid that has a sippy opening.

Un producto novedoso, q se siente con unos materiales muy resistentes y buenos acabados, práctico, con un set muy completo de accesorios q incluye una escobilla para la limpieza. Fue perfecto para un regalo de una persona q viaja mucho y se complementó con accesorios de la misma marca, dentro de los cuales está un bolso; aunque la cafetera trae una bolsa de tela para guardar el accesorio del bolso, es un accesorio muy bueno q me parece q es práctico para llevar y protege más.

Ótimo produto. Facil de usar e de higienizar!!! Prático!!!

Hay varias formas de hacerte un café ya sea en tu oficina o cuando estás de viaje y con la pipamoka es perfecto, y que mejor que te da un agradable sabor de caté, sus materiales son de buena calidad, solo aprovechen cuando esta de oferta, vale mucho la pena esta cafetera.

Heerlijke filterkoffie voor onderweg

面倒くさいデス

The PipaMoka allows me to make a good cup of coffee quickly, and all that's needed is some hot water. The quality of Wacaco equipment is outstanding. Pushing the water through the grinds with vacuum suction speeds up the brewing process (my Vietnamese coffee maker, which I love, takes about 5 minutes for 100 ml of coffee). In my view, the great advantage over the Aeropress is the fact that the system is closed so to speak. Everything is inside a sealed container and you only have to turn the orange ring to pull the vacuum (note: this actually takes some strength). With the Aeropress, you have to push down hard with a device that's just propped up on some arbitrary mug. I also like the fact that the coffee accumulates in a double walled thermo mug, keeping it warm, in case you brew and then take the sealed container away, say to a meeting. The filter basked is of high quality, easy to load, and easy to clean. The plastic is generally of high quality (the grey and orange colour arrangement makes it look though as if it was hacked together from some Gardena garden watering equipment :-).
