- Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
- [ALL-IN-ONE] Brew and drink from a single device with the Pipamoka all-in-one nomadic coffee maker. Simple, sturdy and brilliant pressure brewer, it becomes super easy and quick to fuel your days and enjoy hours of hot, freshly-brewed coffee during your commutes, work hours or adventures.
- [THE TWO MINUTES BREW] Its patented construction, paired with its innovative twisting mechanism, generates vacuum pressure inside the mug. This negative pressure generated a suction force that draws hot water downwards through the coffee grounds. Engineered to brew a consistently clean, full-flavored cup of joe in about two minutes, the Pipamoka’s vacuum pressure brewing method sets it apart from other devices.
- [HOW DOES VACUUM PRESSURE WORK] ADD:Fill the water chamber and drop the coffee basket into it. Let it sink to the bottom. TWIST:Turn the ring to create vacuum pressure that draws the water down through the grounds. ENJOY:When the water chamber has fully risen, remove the brewer, add the lid and enjoy a hot coffee for hours.
- [LEAVE NO WASTE BEHIND] The stainless steel micro-filter is re-useable, meaning there is no excess waste created from having to use one-time-use paper filters. Fine mesh filter :250μm
- [REMARK] Pipamoka does not heat up water. Brew ratio is similar to standard drip or infusion methods, close to 1:15 (1 g of coffee ground for 15 mL of water). We recommend using a medium to medium-fine grind for optimal brewing performance.

Let me just say right off the bat that I don’t drink coffee. However, I really, really enjoy making coffee for my significant other (I still taste test). For the home we have a Chemex, but needed something that would work well for camping (the single pour over baggies and the French press just weren’t working). We don’t need to look any further. This thing is amazing!!! The coffee is consistently delicious and easy to make if you follow the simple steps (which only take tops 2 times to remember). Aside from making a perfectly extracted cup of coffee, keeping said coffee warm on a cold camping morning and being able to grab the cup and go for a hike is just awesome. We looked at the AeroPress, but what sold us was the heat retention of the cup and how compact the entire contraption was, no need for anything additional cups. I have seen a couple of reviews where folks had trouble turning it. This has only happened to me once (and even then my 8 y/o could still turn it) and I think it has to do with the way the pod is situated. Just make sure ALL the bubbles are out before starting the extraction. Don’t hesitate. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! p.s. For the manufacturer reading this... the only thing that would make this even better than perfect would be a lid that has a sippy opening.

OK a lil back story.
I wanted a coffee maker to use in my van. Battery, 12v, something. Everything I looked at either wasn't efficient at all or the battery life stunk. I know with a burner set up I can easily boil my own water so that's easy. But I hate french presses because they almost all leave grounds in your coffee. Then this pops up.
First use, I ended up with a blister and it left water in the plastic tube because I was turning the thing to hard and fast. Just give it a lil turn till it tightens and let it stop. Then a lil turn again. It takes a bit of time but the coffee this thing puts out is awesome. I've been using it at work and home regularly as it makes a better cup then anything I've used before. Friends all laughed at me. Till I poured them a cup. Then they asked where I got it. LOL
I'll admit, it's a lil pricey. But man this thing just works. So I can't fault the price on something that does such a great job.

I have tried alot of portable coffee makers because I'm always on the move, and this one is the best one so far if you like strong coffee. To get strong coffee you have to let all the bubbles get out, then tap the cup on something hard to get more bubbles out (takes about 2 minutes) . After that you twist the container in a quarter of a turn in a smooth slow motion (takes about 2 minutes)..
Pros: Portable
Obvious lines showing water marks.
Easy to use
Easy clean up.
Cons: Takes about 5 minutes to make.
Lid does not have a drinking port.
Have to buy the case separately.
Doesn't come with a coffee grinder (would be nice to have a light weight coffee grinder that could grind 2 cups.)

The Pipamoka is a stylish and cleverly-designed product, but after spending a couple of weeks dialing in my grind and ratio, I’m sending it back. I feel it’s substantially easier to prep, brew and clean the AeroPress, I prefer the taste of paper-filtered coffee, and I find the AeroPress Go to be even more convenient to pack for travel than the Pipamoka.
However, the Pipamoka tumbler does indeed keep one’s coffee warm for an astonishingly long time, so if you’re someone who likes to nurse 8 oz of coffee over a period of several hours, you might prefer this device.

This coffee press is very cool. I used to have the Stanley travel press/mug but my issue with those types of travel presses are that the coffee still sits in the water and makes it stronger over time.
This nifty little guy fixes that issue. I did a test with crappy Folgers coffee and it tasted pretty darn good. I had three other people taste test and they said it was delish. My main use for this was for camping. I didn’t want to get an aero press. This works really well and does the job. Be forewarned this is for a single cup. You could essentially put more water and grounds and redo the pressing process and make more. But you’ll need another thermos to dump it into when you brew. Everything (all the aks, tools) fits inside the mug and the shape of it and size are really handy. If you follow the instructions you should have no major spill issues. With the mugs with built in presses I found if you overfill you’ll burn yourself trying to press the press all the way to the bottom.
I haven’t tried these methods yet but you can do a cold brew press with this mug as well and using less water/diff beans can make espresso for a deeper richer potency.
I would recommend this for someone who is ok with just one cup, and likes a deep rich flavorful brew of coffee.

The concept, the build, and the execution are all fantastic! However, the gasket ring at the bottom of the inner sleeve that creates the overall pressure often loses its "grip" if you will and causes it to lose pressure, preventing it to "brew" all the way up. Also the the coffee basket itself is tricky to clean out all the way without disassembling it. It does work properly the majority of the time and when it does it makes a great (albeit small) cup of coffee! And the overall design and build quality is outstanding!

It's a cool concept and a good coffee maker, when it works right. More often than not now, I have to spin the ring back up part way and re-insert the tube to get the rest of the water through the filter. So a 2 minute coffee is now a 5 minute coffee with the multiple attempts to get all the water through. It worked well first and second time, but now it always seems to have remnant water in the tube after I have twisted it all the way up. Spin and repeat 2-3 more times till all the water is used.

Vacuumed Filtered Coffee
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 21, 2020Verified Purchase
After reading lots of reviews and watching YouTube reviews about the product I finally bought the Pipamoka even though I have a Nanopresso.
I can safe the device made nice coffee and I am not a coffee enthusiast, the coffee was really smooth and you get to taste the characteristics of the beans.
I used the same grind level as I have used for the Nanopresso which produced a different overall coffee from the later whereas the Nanopresso would be more intense the Pipamoka is more smooth regular (filter drip style) coffee.
Preparing the brew was easy as I have watched a number of YouTube videos and hence no need for instructions, what I did find was if you have small hands or injuries to your hand it will be a problem. As I have injured both my hands (trigger finger injuries) I did find it very very difficult to preform the task, however I persisted and convinced myself it's physiotherapy but with a reward of a coffee at the end.
It was a tough work out as I could not maintain a steady rhythm, in the end once completed the coffee like I mentioned is smooth and nice.
The best thing is unit was made with good quality control as before in my other review of the Nanopresso's Barista kit it had a slight defect resulting me cutting my knuckle when cleaning, not this time everything is smooth to the finish and well made (Wacaco reached out to me in regards to my sliced knuckle) and promised better QC and they have delivered 👍
Cleaning is simple and easy compared to my French Press (which getting the grinds out is a nightmare) with the Pipamoka it's all contained in a little casket just like the Nanopresso hence easy to clean and tidy even the water chamber is clean with no residue almost like the Aeropress.
The vessel containing the coffee and doubles as a travel mug is great as its leak proof, I done a simple test where I put boiling water into it and closed the lid after 4hrs the temperature dropped from 96 degrees C to 54 degrees I guess it could stay longer if I warmed the vessel first (not sure) but it is sufficient in its task. One thing to note is if the lid is not on the vessel is a little unsafe, what I mean is, its easily toppled over this spilling the drink due to the length and slimness this has to be noted (if the base has a little counter weight) toppling maybe prevented but that is just nit picking.
So is it worth it, I would say yes as its just good compact easy to clean (provides a real workout of your forearms especially if you have hand injuries 😂)

From tea drinker to coffee convert
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2021Verified Purchase
Firstly, dropping the coffee-holder into the water. There's no need to drop it at all, I use the approach in my little video and you can see, no splashes, no risk, no problems.
Then there's the upper body workout that some reviewers comment on. ????? If you do it as you are meant to, it's perfect. Too much resistance when turning and you need to either use a coarser grind, or slow yourself down. The mechanism of the Pipamoka is so simple that you can't help saying why didn't I think of that. It doesn't just start to get harder to turn. It doesn't just start to pass only some of the water through the filter. That, I'm afraid, is pilot error.
I am not the most patient of people. Using the Pipamoka demands a little less haste to secure the taste. It's a couple of minutes to produce a cracking cup of coffee. Well worth a little slowing down for.

Small, compact, totally functional plus does what it says on the tin - makes great coffee!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2021Verified Purchase
I was skeptical at first as I have the Nanopresso which is ok but not a big wow. So when I saw the Pipamoka and watched the video, I could see this might be a worthy product to try. It arrived the next day and I even used my very nice portable hand grinder (I use for camping) for fresh coffee to use. It was an easy and simple process to prepare and use. I also pre-warmed the coffee "mug/cup/container". (And if you didn't want a whole cup, there are markings inside for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 cups.) The coffee I made was really tasty and actually it was such a good cup, I didn't even use milk! (I was drinking a locally roasted Brazilian coffee bean.) I thought it tasted better than drip coffee I normally have.
I love how everything goes inside the container - the brush, funnel, filter with a nice cap - and all into a bag that it comes with. I can throw the little bag and my grinder in my backpack and have a nice cup of coffee anywhere I can get ahold of or make hot water. I like the thought that if I wanted to share my cup of coffee, I would have enough (or just quickly make another one if feeling moreish.) And the container keeps the coffee hot for quite a while unlike the some coffee mug press (which goes cold quickly, maybe they were older models.)
Definitely for the campsite or even a bike ride somewhere. Or breaktime at work. Oh, and it's easy to rinse out and clean. Plus no expensive fiddly paper filters to deal with. It says to use medium coarse grounds as opposed to the fine ground I use in my moka espresso pot. I highly recommend this new product from Wacaco.

A nice bit of kit. Needs decent grip to make it work. But it produces a nice cup of coffee, with the vacuum effect really getting the coffee flavour to come out. Seals well to avoid spillage but no sipping lid. Makes a decent but not extra large coffee which suits me. Well built and nicely designed with good materials. It’s now part of my essential travel kit. I would buy it it again.

Very Good - Not Big Enough.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 9, 2021Verified Purchase
Very Good - Not Big Enough.
Got this to go camping and potentially for taking to the office for my own coffee, instead of coffee shops.
Initially, there's a bit of a learning curve with using this, although the concept is reasonably straightforward:
After unboxing it and giving it its very first hand wash in the sink (this is the only way that you should be cleaning it, by the way), it took me a while to figure out. Essentially, if you want strong espresso, you probably only want to fill it to the half way line (after first taking the coffee "puck" etc. out) with just boiled water from the kettle. If you want an Americano/filter style coffee, then aim for just below the 3/4 mark. The next thing to do is unscrew/take off the lid of coffee "puck" and fill it with ground coffee - if you put too much in, then you may struggle to get the lid back on the puck, but if you don't put enough in, you're not making your coffee correctly at all. If you want to get as much coffee in as possible, whilst getting the lid back on, aim to almost fill it to the top with ground coffee, then "tamp" it (or squash the coffee down with the back of a small teaspoon), then keep adding and repeating until you can't add any more, but you can still get the lid on the puck (if you can do all this before you pour the boiling water into the coffee flask e.g. before you boil the kettle, that helps). With the lid securely on the puck, drop it into the flask the right way around (with the orange bit at the bottom) and let it sink to the bottom gradually - this takes about 5 to 10 seconds). Then count for at least 40 seconds, whilst watching all the air bubbles surface, then barely lift up the flask at all, before immediately banging it back down on whatever surface the flask is sat on and tapping the side of the flask a bit (until no more air bubbles surface. Then carefully screw the lid onto the top of the flask. At this point, the learning curve really comes into play, as you need twist the orange screw part, halfway up the flask (with the flask on a solid surface), whilst holding the rest of the flask still or the other way around - holding the orange screw part still, whilst twisting the rest of the flask around. Whilst all this is happening, you don't want to push the flask so hard onto the surface that the flask is on that all of this work is wasted. The orange screw part and the rest of it (previously hidden within the flask) will eventually rise up out of the flask, whilst you unscrew it, until you can just about pull this out of the flask. You can then take the lid off of this orange screw tube whilst being careful/mindful of the coffee puck inside it, which can easily come out, so let it out of the tube and set it to one side, ready to open up later and throw the used coffee grounds out). This lid can then be screwed onto the actual flask itself and as long as it still has about 4 oe 5 centimetres between the surface of the coffee liquid and the top of the flask lip/edge, then, with the lid screwed on fully, no coffee should leak at all. This can also be used without the screw as just the flask on its own, for making coffee separately e.g. in a cafetière/French Press and then pouring this into the flask and screwing the lid on. I've tried making coffee around 07:00am and putting the lid on and it stays hot until around 11:00am'ish, at least. It's always good to pour boiling hot water into it first if using the cafetière/French Press method, as this heats it up and helps keep the coffee hotter for longer. The only trouble with this product is unscrewing the orange screw out of it and that it isn't big enough. When I was camping, I drank the coffee once ready (which from pouring the boiled water in and letting the puck sink to having fully unscrewed it took about 5 minutes, so a fairly quick Americano) all in about 5 minutes or so (with some milk added to it afterwards) and immediately wanted more coffee - it could definitely do with being bigger, because it just leaves you wanting more coffee and you'd need to rinse out the flask and wash the screw part and the coffee puck first. On a completely different note, apparently you can make cold brew coffee with this - although I haven't tried this, yet. The official case that was designed for this by the same company is definitely good (there's no doubt about that), but it's also overpriced. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this product, but you will definitely need lots of practice with the orange screw part to fully understand how it all works and if you love having plenty of coffee to start the day, this is good, but not really perfect - it could definitely do with being bigger.
Got this to go camping and potentially for taking to the office for my own coffee, instead of coffee shops.
Initially, there's a bit of a learning curve with using this, although the concept is reasonably straightforward:
After unboxing it and giving it its very first hand wash in the sink (this is the only way that you should be cleaning it, by the way), it took me a while to figure out. Essentially, if you want strong espresso, you probably only want to fill it to the half way line (after first taking the coffee "puck" etc. out) with just boiled water from the kettle. If you want an Americano/filter style coffee, then aim for just below the 3/4 mark. The next thing to do is unscrew/take off the lid of coffee "puck" and fill it with ground coffee - if you put too much in, then you may struggle to get the lid back on the puck, but if you don't put enough in, you're not making your coffee correctly at all. If you want to get as much coffee in as possible, whilst getting the lid back on, aim to almost fill it to the top with ground coffee, then "tamp" it (or squash the coffee down with the back of a small teaspoon), then keep adding and repeating until you can't add any more, but you can still get the lid on the puck (if you can do all this before you pour the boiling water into the coffee flask e.g. before you boil the kettle, that helps). With the lid securely on the puck, drop it into the flask the right way around (with the orange bit at the bottom) and let it sink to the bottom gradually - this takes about 5 to 10 seconds). Then count for at least 40 seconds, whilst watching all the air bubbles surface, then barely lift up the flask at all, before immediately banging it back down on whatever surface the flask is sat on and tapping the side of the flask a bit (until no more air bubbles surface. Then carefully screw the lid onto the top of the flask. At this point, the learning curve really comes into play, as you need twist the orange screw part, halfway up the flask (with the flask on a solid surface), whilst holding the rest of the flask still or the other way around - holding the orange screw part still, whilst twisting the rest of the flask around. Whilst all this is happening, you don't want to push the flask so hard onto the surface that the flask is on that all of this work is wasted. The orange screw part and the rest of it (previously hidden within the flask) will eventually rise up out of the flask, whilst you unscrew it, until you can just about pull this out of the flask. You can then take the lid off of this orange screw tube whilst being careful/mindful of the coffee puck inside it, which can easily come out, so let it out of the tube and set it to one side, ready to open up later and throw the used coffee grounds out). This lid can then be screwed onto the actual flask itself and as long as it still has about 4 oe 5 centimetres between the surface of the coffee liquid and the top of the flask lip/edge, then, with the lid screwed on fully, no coffee should leak at all. This can also be used without the screw as just the flask on its own, for making coffee separately e.g. in a cafetière/French Press and then pouring this into the flask and screwing the lid on. I've tried making coffee around 07:00am and putting the lid on and it stays hot until around 11:00am'ish, at least.
