Wacaco Introduces the Prestina Manual Coffee Brewer

In a bold move to reshape the coffee brewing experience, Wacaco Company Limited, renowned for its portable coffee equipment, has launched Prestina, a revolutionary manual immersion brewer. Designed to elevate your coffee experience, Prestina turns the coffee cup itself into the brewing press, seamlessly marrying functionality and minimalist design.

A New Approach to Brewing

Made for coffee aficionados and casual drinkers alike, Prestina reimagines the home-brewing process with its unique cup-integration design. Unlike conventional brewers that rely on complex mechanisms or electricity, Prestina requires just your hand, making it an eco-friendly option. This patented product eliminates paper filters and capsules, giving you a cleaner brew while preserving the essential oils and flavors of your coffee.

How It Works

With a simple ritual, the Prestina allows you to achieve a perfectly brewed cup of coffee in just one minute. Here’s how:
1. Add Coffee: Add 15 grams of medium-ground coffee into the cup.
2. Pour Water: Add 240 ml of water heated to around 90 °C.
3. Stir and Infuse: Stir gently and let the coffee infuse for one minute.
4. Press and Enjoy: Press down on the cup, and your exquisite brew is ready.

This straightforward process yields a full-bodied cup with the depth typical of immersion brews while ensuring a cleaner finish than traditional French presses. The integrated stainless steel filter means no more worrying about wasteful paper filters.

Compact & Convenient

The entire Prestina kit comes as a six-piece set, including the brewing body, a portafilter, the coffee cup, a lid, a spoon, and a drip tray. When packed together, the brewer and cup form a compact unit measuring 134 × 85 × 85 mm and weighing only 254 g. It’s light enough to fit in your desk drawer, carry-on luggage, weekend bag, or even your camping gear, making it perfect for travel enthusiasts.

Design Choices

Available in three elegant color options—Sage Green, Clay Pink, and Coal Black—the Prestina stands out as both a functional tool and a stylish accessory for coffee lovers. Each color brings a unique aesthetic that will complement any kitchen or travel setup.

Statement from the Co-Founder

Hugo Cailleton, Wacaco's Co-Founder and Chief Designer, shared, “With Prestina, we wanted to strip manual brewing back to its most essential form. The breakthrough was realizing the cup did not have to be separate from the brewing mechanism — it could become part of it. This insight allowed us to develop something simpler, smaller, and easier to use, all while maintaining the rich flavor that people expect from an immersion brew.”

Availability and Pricing

The Prestina is available for USD $29.90 at wacaco.com, select online markets, and through Wacaco's global retail partners. To see Prestina in action, you can catch a showcase of the product at the upcoming World of Coffee event in Brussels from June 25–27.

Wacaco continues to enhance the way coffee enthusiasts brew quality coffee on the go, and Prestina embodies their commitment to innovation and sustainability. Whether at home or traveling, enjoy the flavors of freshly brewed coffee with minimal effort and maximum satisfaction.
