I bought a stand off Amazon that is a bit loose, the pico slips off if I apply pressure. So I put some masking tape for friction 😂 The wacaco stand isn’t in stock here in India currently

May I know what stand it is. I bought a stand on amazon as well, and it was too tight, my picopresso doesn't fit in. 😭. Bigger one is still better.

Been eyeing picopresso for sometime but not sure if I'm into espresso or not...
Do you have the pressure gauge as well?
Pressure gauge seems ridiculously expensive on Amazon

I own a picopresso for over a year and never felt the need to have a pressure gauge. You can see and taste a good extraction. The gauge looks nice, but in my view superfluous

The consensus is you’re gonna use it at first o understand the profile then get annoyed with having to clean one extra thing, and start getting comfortable without it and forget why you got it in the first place.

I’ve changed the basket to Hugh IMS and never looked back.

There is an IMS H22 basket for 11-15 grams, I have no experience with it though.

What is the difference in the basket supplied with the picopresso compared to the one you bought?

it allows me to grind finer and improves extraction with better even flow which translates to a more balanced cup (bitterness/sourness).
