Frequently asked questions
No! The Nano features self-heating technology and works perfectly with cold water. Simply add cold tap water, press the button, and the machine heats the water to optimal brewing temperature (92°C/198°F) in approximately 200 seconds. You can also use pre-heated water to conserve battery power and speed up brewing time.
Battery life depends on water temperature: you can brew 3-5 espresso shots using cold water per charge, or an impressive 100-200+ shots using pre-heated water. The 7500mAh battery charges via USB-C in a few hours, and you can also charge it using 12V/24V car adapters while traveling.
The Nano offers maximum flexibility with dual brewing options. Use freshly ground espresso (8-10g, finely ground for best results) in the included portafilter basket, or insert Nespresso Original compatible capsules using the included adapter. The machine is not compatible with Nespresso Vertuo capsules.
Unlike manual espresso makers like the Wacaco Nanopresso that require hot water and hand-pumping action, the Nano is fully automatic and self-heating. It features a built-in 20-bar electric pump, eliminating the need for manual pressure generation. Simply press a button and the machine handles heating and extraction automatically – no arm workout required!
Yes! The Nano is TSA-friendly and can be carried in your carry-on luggage. However, you must comply with airline regulations: do not use the device during flight. The battery capacity (7500mAh) is within most airline limits, but check your specific carrier's policies for lithium battery restrictions.
Cleaning is simple: after each use, rinse the portafilter basket and water reservoir with clean water. For deeper cleaning, disassemble the portafilter components and wash with warm soapy water. Avoid submerging the electronic base unit. Regular descaling is not typically required since you're using fresh water for each shot, but periodic cleaning of the water chamber with vinegar solution can help maintain performance.
Ensure the battery has at least two lit power indicator cells before brewing. If power lights flash 5 times with 3 beeps, the battery is too low and needs charging. Use a 5V/3A USB adapter (minimum 15W) – low-power chargers like Apple's 5W adapter won't charge the device. Make sure the portafilter is screwed on tightly and coffee grounds or capsule are properly installed. If the machine vapor locks, follow the air pocket removal process in the user manual.
