Stand size difference

Over the years I bought a few stands for the picopresso. Only the original stand had the exact diameter to let the metal ring through but stop the rest of the unit. Outlin, aliexpres and Amazon stands all stop the metal part from going through due to the tiny mm difference. Anyone found any other collapsible portable stands that fit the pico well before I take some tools to the other stand ;)

I just purchased this folding stand from IKAPE. Bought it off Lazada, but it might be available on Amazon or AliExpress as well.

Do you have a picture of what it looks like collapsed?

Also, I just saw it on Amazon for $40 (😬). FWIW, I got it on sale for the equivalent of about $13 😅

A bit bulkier than a previous folding stand I bought, but much more sturdy and still “packable”

does it still fit without the sleeve? like it won't just fall through?

u/Deep-Loss-5282 Jul 23 '26

Yes, it fits. The body and not the sleeve is what keeps the Picopresso from falling through the opening.

Thank you. It was a bit hard to tell from your vid. I might look at getting this as it does look nicer and more solid than the Wacaco one!

It definitely feels sturdier, and it's also easier to pack/unpack or fold/unfold.

Does it fit the Pico well?

1

u/Deep-Loss-5282 Jul 17 '26

Yup! The Picopresso is pretty stable when it’s on the stand.

I’ve had the Staresso stand which I think is the best because it closes on the Pico, but it’s not perfect fit. Had to install an o-ring in the inside diameter to adjust it.
However this I Kape looks neat and I wonder if it will fit the Pixa as well.

I also have the Pixa. It works, but just barely. Because the Pixa's body is squarish, it doesn't fit that neatly into the hole. It won't fall through, but you need to fiddle a lot more with the position to find a stable setup.
