Best praise vs top criticism for Wacaco Picopresso
“Picopresso is simply amazing (paired with an espresso-capable hand grinder).”
“Please don't buy those. For you espresso machine, go with like a flair neo, or a picopresso. For a grinder, get something from 1zpresso that is capable of doing espresso and regular coffee, such as the Jx-pro, or K-max. For coffee, get some from a local roaster, or try using a coffee subscription service such as Trade Coffee. Aeropress is good buy though.”
