The Missing Piece: Why the Wacaco Exagrind is Essential for Portable Espresso

You own a Wacaco portable machine - a Picopresso, Nanopresso, or Minipresso. You love the freedom of having café-quality espresso wherever life takes you. But to truly unlock the potential of these powerful little machines, you need one crucial component: a precise, consistent grinder.

Enter the Wacaco Exagrind Manual Coffee Grinder. It’s not just a grinder; it’s the essential partner built specifically to meet the high demands of portable espresso.

The Grind Quality That Espresso Demands

Espresso is incredibly demanding. The small amount of coffee and the high pressure used mean that even small inconsistencies in your grounds can ruin a shot. That's why the Exagrind is engineered for precision:

• 38mm Stainless Steel Burrs: The core of the Exagrind is its high-quality 38mm stainless steel conical burrs. These deliver a sharp, consistent particle size, which is vital for achieving uniform extraction and that beautiful, dense crema.

• 60-Click Micro Adjustment: With a total of 60 clicks of adjustment, and each click representing a fine 33-micron (0.033mm) change, the Exagrind gives you the granular control needed to dial in your espresso. Whether you're pulling a shot with a Picopresso or brewing a pour-over, you can find and replicate the perfect setting.

• Durable Unibody Construction: The precision burrs are mounted within a machined aluminium unibody frame. This robust construction ensures perfect burr alignment, minimising wobble and maximising the consistency of the grind - a feature usually found in much more expensive grinders.

Perfect Synergy: Exagrind and the Picopresso

The Wacaco Picopresso is known for producing true, pro-level espresso, which requires a fine, uniform grind. If you use a lower-quality grinder, the inconsistent grounds (often called "fines") will choke the Picopresso or result in poor extraction.

The Exagrind is the ideal complement for Wacaco's portable range because:

1. Espresso-Ready Fineness: It can easily grind fine enough for the high-pressure environment of the Picopresso, ensuring you get that thick, syrupy shot with dense crema. Many users find their ideal setting is often between 11-15 clicks from the zero point.

2. Built for Travel: The compact size (only 14.3 cm tall) and the clever collapsible handle make it easy to pack. The handle folds flat against the body, minimising space and protecting the mechanism, ensuring it’s ready for any adventure.

3. Maximum Portability, Zero Compromise: Paired with the Picopresso, you have a complete, travel-ready espresso setup that does not sacrifice shot quality for portability.

Travel Smart: The Exagrind Carry Case

For those serious about protecting their gear on the road, the Exagrind is designed to be tough, but adding a dedicated carry case is the ultimate way to secure your investment.

If you have a Wacaco Exagrind case, you can ensure your grinder is completely protected from bumps, drops, and spills inside your backpack or luggage. It provides peace of mind that your burr settings and alignment - the heart of its precision - remain intact, guaranteeing great espresso at your destination.
