NANOVESSEL Review - 3-in-1 insulated flask that fits the Nanopresso! 

rtolas I totally agree with your comments that is a good thing he is for all thermos vessels!

Thanks Friend :)

Thanks for your kind words :)

Stuart Summerfield Thanks friend, I'm notoriously slow at making new videos, Glad you like it though! Have a great evening :)

Thanks Magnus, Bax is doing much better, although he really dislikes his new vet prescribed diet. I'm having to boil up chicken and mix a broth with his kibble then crush it all into a paste before he'll eat it. It's worth the effort though to see him well :)

@@GadgetViper perfect nice to see him doing well ,,diet is helping 😉😋 My dog has last 4 years diet ,,only chicken or vegetable soup with pasta or rice 3 × a day small amount and some vitamins and he feels perfect ,, any problems 😀😀

I agree about Baxter - his coat is SO shiny!

Take the Nanopresso and the Nanovessel with you, nip up the mountain, and taste them on the summit ;) I wonder if anyone has actually attempted to drink a coffee at the top. That would be one serious commitment to the love of coffee. Maybe I'll add it to my bucket list ;)

GadgetViper getting 100 degrees water at altitude is difficult. You would need a pressure cooker as water boils a lot lower the higher the altitude. Using this new accessory could help! Again your channel has changed how I prepare and drink my coffee keep up the great work! One final thing I now know why there are caps on the baskets.

That sounds exactly what I need to do!! I have been debating if to try removing the basket, now I'm definitely going to do it, thanks!

@@GadgetViper Just unscrew the top ring, flip it over and give the basket a good push. It will pop right out. Enjoy!

@@THerd-um5tl Awesome! I'll do that while the kettles boiling, first thing in the morning :) Edit... I couldn't wait, just did it, wow it was easy! :)

Kye Dures My Nanopresso always sounds about the same, you can hear it at 6:30 on the video, that's about as wheezy as it gets. I always pump fresh water through the piston by running it under a tap after an extraction, it seems to keep it in good health. Is your Nanopresso noisier than what you hear on the video?

Years ago I added sugar and milk, then as I started exploring the finer aspects of the coffee I stopped adding both. The only time I have milk and sugar these days is if I'm at a friend's and they make an instant coffee. That's not to say that there is anything wrong with adding sugar or milk if you prefer a sweeter taste. Espresso can sometimes be a little too bitter for some. Have you tried brewing with a V60 pour over before? My local roaster has some beans from Honduras and it brewed so sweetly, you'd think there was sugar in it. I should mention, I have a set of scales with a decimal place ( these - geni.us/hD0OE ) so, I'm able to make weight adjustments finer than 1g.

Hi Daniel, Sorry I didn't spot this comment, I spotted your email though ;) and I've sent you a reply.

I'm in non-pressure mode right now. In a perfect world we'd have a really powdery grind like a high end espresso machine, but I really think the Nanopresso works best with it a tad courser. If you go really fine, I'd definitely try using slightly less coffee, maybe 15g. I prefer 16g with a grind thats one click away on my Hario mill from choking up the extraction. I might see if I can make a little video of my current method, it's so dialled in right now :) thanks for watching.

Hi Matt, glad you liked it. It's really important to not push too much water through the grinds, otherwise, you'll drastically change the balance of flavours. The small water tank filled to the brim will make a double shot espresso that weighs around 50-55 grams - That's perfect for me. If you're using the Nanovessel outdoors, you'll need to eyeball it as best you can. I count my pumps, 25 pumps, 25 seconds (1 a second) gets me pretty much there. This will obviously depend on your preparation. If you're looking for a bigger drink, like an Americano, extract the 50-60grams, then add water to it directly. Hope that helps, have a great day.

Hi Amy, glad you liked the video, the Nanopresso holds over 200g, I use around 55-60 grams for my double shots, so it should be just enough to also preheat the cups. If you have two cups, you could preheat one cup, then transfer the water to another cup to add some heat to that using the same water. I've been extracting into the standard Nanopresso cup, then tipping it back into the Nanovessel to make a black americano using the remaining water that's left in the Nanovessel, it works perfectly for that :)

@@GadgetViper Thanks for the info! The vessel will be my next coffee addict investment ;) Cheers.

Just received a "RU-vid Reply", a first time. I guess this shows my subscription is now working properly? Have you had a chance to try using pure, fresh coconut water yet to brew espresso or other coffee brewing method? It's wonderful. An espresso 'purist' may claim the sweetness of coconut water masks the 'true espresso flavor'. Dunno. But it definitely adds broad floral notes that remind me of the flavor of coffee 'cherries' right off the high altitude trees in Costa Rica where we used to live.

Thanks, Yes, I have mine off, just pump fast for 8-10 pumps do build the pressure up as it starts

Hi Bob, sorry I've been so absent, I shall return, that's a promise. I'll check out the IZPresso manual grinder, I need a new one as I've got so used to the quality of grind from my Virtuoso grinder, I now need something better than the Hario Slim. When you warm the water tank up, pour the hot water through the portafilter too, it seems to help with the temperature.

@@GadgetViper XLNT, Simon. Thank you!

Hi Rus, glad you liked the video, the grind should be fairly similar, although it's been a while since I used the single shot basket. If you have a Hario Slim try tightening it all the way then bring it back 5 clicks. If you're using a different mill, start a little coarser, make a coffee, if it extracts well, then make a single adjustment to make it slightly finer for the next one. Keep doing that until the extraction starts to become drippy. At this stage, you can either keep this grind and try reducing the weight by 0.5 grams to reach the sweet spot, or take it back to a slightly coarser grind and keep the weight the same. With regards to the tamp, try and keep it the same so you're not introducing a new variable, Ideally, you want the stainless steel portafilter's face to come down and touch the top of the coffee when you tighten it, so don't tamp lower than about 5mm from the top of the basket otherwise you'll have a gap between the grinds and the portafilter, and that would potentially blow the puck. So a medium-ish tamp that's around 4mm from the top. Hope that helps

@@GadgetViper Thank you so much for such a complete answer. I'll use your tips. My Hario is on its way. Can't wait. I'll work hard and hope to enjoy soon my perfect double shot. My best regards to you and Baxter.

@@rusbatmen727 you're welcome, have a great evening :)

Not on the Nanovessel, but I think when I bought the Nanopresso with the Barista kit I did, I think it was about 8 quid, but at the time it was still cheaper to buy direct from Wacaco than to order off Amazon. Thanks for watching, have a great evening :)

GadgetViper Cheers!

Hi, my O-ring seems fine after about 2 years of use, If yours has perished I'd suggest sending Wacaco an email asking about a replacement. With regards to the pump, I did have issues with pressure loss ages ago, I found that pumping hard and fast under the cold tap after each use would keep it clean and in good working order. I think it was gathering small particles from the kettle, it's been fine ever since. Hope that helps, ps. You're going to love that barista kit, I've not gone back to a single shot basket since I got my one :) have a great day

@@GadgetViper Thanks for the fast respond ! I am very hyped for the barista ! Keep up the good reviews !

It becomes the water tank replacing the standard plastic one

I'll go check brb ;)

OK................. get this. The long case will fit the Nanopresso set up for the NS adapter with room to put the original portafilter in as well. Now, if you were to also add the barista ring, it won't fit. BUT......... looking at the ring part of the NS adapter and the ring part of the Double Shot adapter, they appear identical. (other than the writing) So, you can use the NS adapter ring as the barista double shot ring (assuming you have double shot baskets) so, here's how it fits. You set the Nanopresso up in the NS adapter mode. You store a double shot basket in the small water tank and you also take the original portafilter (without the barista ring). Then, when you want to switch, you use the NS adapter ring (screw it onto the original portafilter) remove the NS portafilter and capsule holder, then add the double shot basket. :) hope that makes sense

GadgetViper thanks very much mate I’ve been racking my brains over this. I travel a lot so wanted one kit where I could use pod or ground in one case. If the rings are the same then to get a double shot I really only need a double basket then , annoyingly it’s £30 for barista kit and all I need is a basket if I understand correctly. I would not use the large water tank.

1st Place - Nanopresso with the double shot Barista kit basket, 2nd Place - Handpresso, 3rd Place - either the Staresso or the Tripresso (they are both very similar)

Man, I've been totally sidetracked with real life stuff, but yes, I hope to get back to making vids real soon. Love the channel by the way, cool animations :)

GadgetViper awe thanks homie, totally means a lot, keep it going

Hi Bob, the plastic tank won't be as effective at holding the heat after preheating, but you should still get it relatively hot. What are you extracting into? If it's the plastic cup that comes with the Nanopresso, that could be the major factor for a lukewarm drink. I rarely use the plastic cup, if you've watched my previous Nanopresso videos you'll see I use a double walled espresso glass instead. (Pre heated of course) The Nanovessel will definitely help, but I'd also suggest preheating a double walled drinking cup/glass as well. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching :)

Extract on an Ember mug for the best results ever ! It will keep your espresso hot in your prefered temperature between 50-62 Celsius for at least an hour!

Hi Friend, sorry for the late reply, to be honest, I very rarely pre-prepare my baskets before I leave, I'd usually grind right before using the Nanopresso. If you were to make up the baskets before leaving, you'd probably need to tamp them in order to fit the lid on, 16g untamped would fill the basket completely without any space for the lid.

@@GadgetViper ohhh yeah u made a good point, i filled the basket and it requires tamping to put lid on. Continue making great videos

No, not at the same time, but you can carry two baskets and use one after the other, if you want to make 2 espressos ;) just to save a little time cleaning out and re-preparing the same basket for a second drink.

Didn't think so. Just me taking something too literally.. and extrapolating . Again. Thanks!@@GadgetViper

Thanks :)

@@GadgetViper I have a deep love for nature also. So when I saw how u enjoyed the nature I have to have the Napresso and I just got it today. Didn’t have a chance to use it yet but I’ll do it later today. Soooo happy i found ur video.

@@ptt0217 thanks PJ, it always makes me happy to know others have enjoyed watching my videos, hopefully once this lockdown is over I can get back out to the woods with Bax and make some more :)

@@GadgetViper hi again :) I just made my first cup of expresso from my new Nanopresso. But :( ! The coffee didn’t stream out in one “ mouse tail” ( is that how the person called it ). It dripped out in a few stream. What did I do wrong ? Please help 🙏

@@ptt0217 you could try tamping a little less or putting a little less grinds I'm the basket, if that doesn't improve things, grind a little coarser. Once you dial it in you should get a thin steady stream. Good luck :)

Same question !!

I meant that I hadn't preheated the cup before I started extracting into it. The Nanovessel does do a good job of maintaining heat, not sure it would last 10 hours though, I'll test it out and see

@@GadgetViper COOL THANKS. Quick question. will the nano vessel fit in the L-case with the barista kit double shot filter and without the cup that it came with? I know Wacaco doesn't recommend nanovessel attached to nanospresso while carrying hot water in it but I do wanna carry it in one go unattached. I don't see myself using the cup because I always carry a tumbler so I thought just a waste of space.. will it fit a nanovessel instead of cup?

GadgetViper yes please i would like to know the duration it can hold heat too

Zypherdose actually I bought one and tested it. It doesn't last more than 5 hours in this 32 degree weather. I don't have a thermometer to test water temp with.. this will come later but I know that this morning at 11am first poured it was scalding hot and by 5pm it's still warm but not hot enough for my taste to produce the espresso from the nano vessel. However I still think the nano vessel is a nice add on because it "looks better" it does hold water and keep pressure better than the cup that came with the barista kit or nanopresso itself while making the espresso and that's all its good for. If you want to carry scalding hot water with you for 27hrs plus has a 32oz capacity get the Stanley Master series otherwise this is bullshit. If 32oz is a overkill.. they do make em in 24oz. This will make at least 4 Lungos. You can preheat the cup if you wanted to and more than enough to wash the nanopresso when done.

Most definitely, I don't use the larger water tank that comes with the Barista kit, but the larger basket (16g) and the Barista Ring are essentials for a double shot. If I've access to heat water, I'll use the original small water tank it's perfect for a double shot (50-55g). If I'm going on a short trip and need hot water, I'll take the Nanovessel, it keeps the water hot enough for about 3-4 hours. Hope that helps :)

@@GadgetViper yes thank you! Just one more quick question...do you reckon it's best to get the M or L size case? I'm planning to get also the ns adapter along with the barista kit and nanovessel. You got the large size right?

@@MarcoMarfia yes, I have the large case, a medium will fit the small tank and the Barista ring/be adapter, but if you plan on using the large tank, I'd definitely choose the large case.

@@GadgetViper thanks! Much apreciated

Hi Friend, for me it's the Nanopresso+barista kit (i'm a double shot guy) if you're only going to use a single shot, then either one can give you great results. I'd still take the Nanopresso though, it's lighter, more compact and has an integrated cup.

Cool looking product, I look forward to getting my hands on it :)

Dude, I really want to make a new vid, and I will, I've had loads of ideas and even shot some footage, its just been so busy over the last few months, I took on too many projects (in my day job) I'll make sure my next video is something worth waiting for ;) have a great day my friend!

GadgetViper oh i see😌 if you are too busy, we understand you. But don’t forget that we always waiting for your videos and checking your channel daily. 😆😆 we already waited long enough 😤

Kyo 1016 gadget viper yes we do know that you’re very busy I’m sure with the rest of life but we do enjoy watching your videos if you have them in for you doing the Pipamoka I wouldn’t of gotten mine from Hong Kong earlier than they are now available on Amazon US, not sure if the UK has them yet! Cheers

If you were drinking an Americano, that would be fine, but I imagine it would be a problem if you were drinking an espresso due to the small volume of water. 50ml of hot water taken from a 220ml flask isn't too bad temperature-wise after a couple of hours. I usually take a little stove with me if I'm out for a longer trip. You're right though, for Americano's it's a lot easy to make the coffee at home. Thanks for watching.
