BrewCraft Pico

The Pico is our smallest and most affordable machine — built for someone pulling their first shots who wants a low-risk way into espresso. It uses a single thermoblock (fast to heat, ~1 minute) and ships with pressurized (dual-wall) baskets that are far more forgiving of grind and puck-prep mistakes, so you can get a drinkable shot before you've learned to dial in.

• Boiler: single thermoblock
• Portafilter: 58mm
• PID temperature control: no (fixed thermostat)
• Heat-up time: ~60 seconds
• Footprint: 20 × 25 cm

Because it has one heater, you brew first and then steam — expect a short wait to switch modes, like the Solo. When you outgrow the pressurized baskets, drop in a Precision Basket and a real grinder. Not recommended for milk-heavy households making several drinks back to back — look at the Flux or Duo instead.
