Learn step-by-step how to brew exceptional espresso and latte at home or on the go with the OutIn x KRUVE Barista Set. Avoid common mistakes and enjoy café-quality coffee anywhere.
Quick answer
To use the OutIn x KRUVE Barista Set, first assemble the OutIn Nano Espresso maker, brew your espresso directly into the KRUVE Dark Series Propel glass, then pour it into the Imagine latte glass for your preferred drink.
Before you start: what's in the box
The OutIn x KRUVE Barista Set includes the OutIn Nano Espresso maker, a KRUVE Dark Series PROPEL Espresso Glass, and a KRUVE Dark Series Imagine Latte Glass. The Nano is a portable espresso maker that uses ground coffee and hot water to produce real espresso pressure without electricity. The glasses are designed to enhance the taste and aroma of your coffee while keeping it at the right temperature.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many first-time users overfill the Nano's water chamber or grind their coffee too fine, which can cause clogging or weak pressure. Also, preheating the glasses is often skipped, but it helps maintain your coffee's temperature from the first sip. If you're traveling, remember to pack the set in a padded bag to protect the glassware.
Step-by-step brewing guide
- 1. Prepare your ingredients and equipment: Grind 14–18 grams of coffee to a fine espresso grind (similar to table salt). Heat about 120 ml of water to 195–205°F (90–96°C). Unscrew the top of the OutIn Nano and remove the basket. Using pre-ground coffee? Make sure it's labeled for espresso to avoid clogging.
- 2. Fill and assemble the Nano: Add the ground coffee into the basket and tamp it gently. Fill the water chamber with hot water up to the fill line. Screw the top back on tightly. Don't overfill the basket—leave a little space for the water to pass through evenly.
- 3. Brew your espresso: Place the Propel espresso glass under the Nano's spout. Press the pump slowly and evenly for about 10–15 seconds until you see a steady stream of espresso. Stop when you have about 30–40 ml. If the pump feels too hard, your grind might be too fine. If it flows too fast, your grind is too coarse.
- 4. Prepare your latte or Americano: Pour the brewed espresso into the Imagine latte glass. For a latte, add steamed milk (if available) or hot milk. For an Americano, add hot water. Stir gently. Preheat the Imagine glass with hot water for 30 seconds before adding coffee to keep your drink warmer longer.
- 5. Clean up after brewing: Disassemble the Nano and rinse all parts with warm water. Allow them to air dry. Hand wash the glasses with mild soap and a soft sponge. Do not put the Nano parts or glasses in the dishwasher—high heat can damage the seals and glass finish.
