WACACO Nanopresso NS Adapter, Accessories for Nanopresso Portable Espresso Machine, Compatible with NS Capsules, Perfect for Traveling, Camping or Office Use

I bought this adapter for two reasons. 1-i have a nespresso machine at home and wanted to use the same capsules when i travel and 2- i previously owned another brand of portable espresso maker for travel and found using fresh ground coffee made cleaning tedious! I am 10 days into a six week trip to the Caribbean and have used this product regularly, so far it has worked flawlessly. Simple to use, light and convenient for travel (fits in my pocket), easy to clean and works seamlessly with nespresso pods. The one "negative" is that with the adapter attached the espresso maker is slightly longer than it is with the regular set up so does not fit properly in the carry case the espresso maker came with. I can still force it in and zip the case shut, but with extra strain on the zipper it's probably a matter of time before it blows out. All in all very happy with this purchase and recommend it for any espresso lover on the go!

Why is Amazon asking me to rate the "Warmth" of this item?!! ANYway, this is a really great adapter which allows you to make Nespresso shots of your choice without the mess of the standard portafilter/basket and coffee grounds. I wanted a quicker way to prepare espresso while on the road, and this is it! If I have plenty of time in the morning, I enjoy the ritual of using my little hand grinder and putting my own coffee beans in, grinding it just right, pouring it into the basket, and using the double-shot adapter for my Nanopresso to make a really great espresso. This is arguably the best quality coffee you're going to get. BUT, if you take the time to try out a few different Nespresso pods and get to know the differences, you'll be able to make some excellent espresso for yourself with minimal cleanup. Pro Tip: Get the "Wacaco Nanopresso Case, Protective Case for Nanopresso with Adapter Ring and Large Water Tank from Barista Kit, Large Size" - this will give you extra space to place two cartridges in the bottom of the case, as well as one inside the water tank! Since Nespresso pods can get dented and damaged very easily, this seems like the most simple way to keep a few spares protected before use. If you recycle your pods, you can also put an empty one in the water tank to dispose of later. Pro Tip #2: Nespresso sells a few types of pods which have a higher concentration in them - meaning that you can add hot water after pulling the shot, and it'll essentially give you a double shot using one pod! I can't verify the caffeine content, but the "Lungo" pods are made to create a 3.7oz "shot" and the standard pods are for 1.35oz shots. So just make one Lungo, add some hot water to it, then add your sweetener or creamer and you're all set! Pro Tip #3: Buy your pods from a Nespresso store if possible. You'll find they are less often dented or damaged than those which are shipped. I'd like to credit my coworker for letting me know that this little adapter existed - it's made our snobby espresso tendencies much more seamless! ;-)

I enjoy my Nanopresso and was excited about the upgrade of using pods, to enhance portability and simplify cleanup. The large quantity and percentage of very positive reviews seemed like confirmation and I ordered this without hesitation. I was both confused and irritated when the adapter I ordered failed to function (would not pressurize and would often blow the foil seal off of the pods. I felt that there were too many reviews for this to be user experience and ordered a duplicate adapter, thinking that perhaps I had received a dud. Sure enough, the new version worked flawlessly and is exactly what I was looking for. Side-by-side comparison revealed what appears to be an assembly error. It appears that the plate that is designed to sit against the foil on the pod may have been inverted on the original item, as it did not have the raised profile of the functional version. So, that would be one one caveat. If you purchase and are having issues, there is a small possibility that the item you bought has a manufacturing error. Overall, this adapter is great and I now use it almost exclusively, if I'm using my Nanopresso.

This NS Adapter enabled me to brew with knockoff espresso pods and I’ve been very pleased with this adapter.

I bought my first two Wacaco Nanopresso espresso makers eight years ago. One for home in case of a power failure, and one for travel. The travel one I exclusively use with the Nespresso adaptor. After 5 years, one of the plastic parts in the Nespresso adapter became loose and can fall out. I actually had to fish out that particular part from the kitchen dust bin, as it fell out when discarding the spent Nespresso pod. Without the part, the next espresso was clearly off, I believe the ground coffee from the Nespresso pod ended up in my coffee. Which made me check the entire system, and I noticed the missing part. Luckily, these were just my first two coffees in the day before going out, so I was still able to trace the missing part in the kitchen bin. The part that is loose and can fall out is the middle piece in the attached picture. The picture is from the Nespresso adapter bought eight years ago. Having said all this, I don't really see an alternative, the Nanopresso works really well, both in ground coffee and Nespresso pod mode. For airline travel, it is great that it has no electric parts or batteries, so I can travel with it without any problems both in check-in or carry-on luggage. I am grateful that even after 8 years, the Nanopresso and the Nespresso adapter were still available on Amazon. So it made sense to me to buy a spare Nespresso adapter, in case my other adapter eventually becomes unserviceable.

I'm a real espresso snob. I roast my own beans and have a prosumer machine at home. I won't step foot in a Starbucks. I've owned the Nanopresso for over two years now and have had a love-hate relationship with it. It's frustrating with how finicky the Barista kit double basket can be. Even minor changes to grind, volume, and roast can lead to a complete fail. I was getting very tired of taking the Nanopresso traveling with my wife because of the inconsistency, as well as the time it takes to hand grind. So, I decided to give the NS adaptor a try. After all, consistency should be much better with capsules, and the grinding is already done for me, right? So, I just tried it out on the cheapo Target brand capsules, since that's all I could find while I wait for some more premium stuff to ship in, and I have to say: I'm floored. The quality of the espresso rivals my $2500 Italian machine. Crema, taste, body, etc. is all on point. And it was so easy and quick. I'll be able to make 4 shots with this in the time it used to take me to just hand grind a single shot. And cleanup is easy with no mess or fuss with grinds. With the NS adaptor, I'm once again excited to take my Nanopresso traveling. Wish I had done this a year ago.

This comes in a little drawstring pouch, but don't think that you can travel easily with it AND the regular configuration of using your own coffee. Pick one set up for travel. The pouch fits this adapter; it doesn't fit the top you remove/replace. Overall, this works very well with the nespresso pods. I also used pods from Trader Joes (plastic, not aluminum) and it works too. Great for traveling, but do yourself a favor and leave the parts to use your ground espresso at home. With adapter attached, this does not fit into the case that I bought for my nanopresso. It will fit if you remove the outer drinking cup. But I just don't use a case at all for the nanopresso, and instead use the case to carry the pods -- those need to be protected from crushing more than the maker does. Yes, definitely recommended for traveling. Love the pods.

UPDATE July 2023: Wacaco replaced the broken component on the pod adapter (I'll note that the replacement part took a while to ship and arrived smelling like a chemical factory) after which it worked for a couple of weeks until the pump mechanism on the main module completely failed and stopped holding pressure/pumping water at all, rendering the entire $110+ device useless. Given this, I'm not increasing my rating. It's a great idea/concept, but the execution/build quality is just abysmal, especially given the price point. ---------------------------------- I'll preface by saying that while my Nanopresso NS worked I really loved it, and if it hadn't broken I'd be leaving a very different review. I bought this adapter to go with my Nanopresso and after a couple of weeks and a handful of uses, two large pieces of plastic spontaneously and simultaneously flaked off the portafilter component of the top. I finished pulling a shot, unscrewed the adapter to clean it, and out of the device fell a piece of plastic from the threaded attachment wall and the outflow nozzle itself, which had flaked directly across the attachment point. On closer examination, the plastic on the component that shed these pieces looks really different from the plastic on the other components -- lighter and sort of dry/brittle looking. Putting aside the fact that this is sort of alarming for plastic materials that come into contact with hot water, it does suggest some kind of manufacturing flaw. I am currently in contact with Wacaco trying to get a replacement part covered by the warranty. If that effort succeeds and the replacement part proves higher quality, I will update this review. For now obviously I cannot recommend the device.

Funciona muy bien y es de buena calidad. Ensucia menos y es mas cómoda que la cesta que se usa normalmente.

Well made, easy to assemble and more important, it is much easier to clean this adapter with capsules than the normal scoops with the ground coffee. Only con is that the NS capsules are small and can’t make double espresso, you have to use two capsules for that. But still a great product

This is a great addition to my Nanopress. Makes making coffee on the go easier and cleaner with not having to clean out coffee grinds as you just pop in a pod and then pop it out when you’ve made your coffee. I also bought the barista kit with the bigger water container so I can buy a variety of pods making espressos or long coffees. Very well built and easy to use product would recommend

これでネスプレッソ系のものも使えるようになった。これがとても便利。カプセルをはめるだけ、捨てるだけ。粉をつめたり掃除したりする頻度が減る。とてもよい。

Works perfectly with the nanopresso! No hassle with coffee, just put the cup in and there you go! Pumping goes easily
