Which Accessories Suit Your Setup
Choose tools based on how and where you brew. A home espresso setup benefits from good puck prep, tidy waste management, and simple daily cleaning. A café or office station needs speed, repeatability, and hygiene across many users.
- Home espresso tampers, distribution tools, dosing cups, and a compact knock tube help you keep shots consistent and the bench clear.
- Milk-based drinks shaped milk jugs and milk thermometers support repeatable milk texture and steady pouring.
- Café or shared machine larger knock tubes, milk jug rinsers, and fast cleaning products make it easier to work through a rush and keep gear presentable.
Workflow and Consistency Tools
- Dosing tools and distribution tools help settle and level the coffee bed, so water passes through more evenly and you taste better balance in the cup.
- Scales and timers allow you to measure dose, yield, and shot time, so you can repeat a recipe and adjust with intent instead of guessing.
- Milk jugs with clear spout shapes assist with control when pouring latte art, and steady handles reduce hand strain during regular service.
- Knock tubes give you a place to tap out spent pucks without a mess, helping keep the work area clean and fast to reset.
Care and Cleaning
Good espresso depends on a clean machine. Oils and residue build up in group heads, baskets, and milk gear. Routine cleaning protects internal parts, maintains water flow, and keeps taste clear, without bitterness from old coffee residue or burnt milk film.
- Cleaning brushes and cloths clear loose grounds around the shower screen and group seal, and help prevent buildup around the group head.
- Milk jug rinsers help remove milk film quickly between drinks, which supports hygiene during service and stops old milk from drying inside the jug.
- Cleaning products such as espresso machine cleaners and milk system cleaners dissolve residue that regular rinsing cannot remove.
Best Practices For Better Taste
- Work by recipe, not guesswork weigh in, record yield, record time, then adjust grind or dose with small steps.
- Purge and wipe as you go purge steam wands after every milk drink, wipe baskets and portafilters often, and clear stray grounds so they do not bake on.
- Store beans well keep beans in airtight containers, away from heat and light, and only grind what you plan to use. This supports better aroma and sweetness in the cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Which coffee machine accessories should I get first for espresso at homeStart with a tamper that fits your basket, a dosing or distribution tool to level the bed, and a small knock tube so you can clear pucks without mess. A milk jug and a simple milk thermometer help if you mainly drink milk-based drinks.
-
Do I need café style cleaning products for home useYes, regular cleaning protects the machine and keeps the taste clear. Espresso cleaners and milk system cleaners remove coffee oils and milk film that a quick wipe will not lift. This helps the machine run consistently over time.
-
Is a distribution tool or WDT tool worth addingA distribution tool or WDT tool helps settle and break up clumps before you tamp. This reduces channelling and supports a more even extraction, which means better body and sweetness in the shot.

How do I know if an accessory will fit my machineCheck basket diameter, handle style, and machine group size before you buy tampers, portafilter handles, filter baskets, and milk jugs. If you are unsure about fit, match size notes to your machine group, or speak with our team.
