Coffee machine accessories built for café and home baristas
Tampers, jugs, portafilters, scales, baskets, and cleaning: the kit Australian baristas trust.
Coffee machine accessories are the tools that complete an espresso workflow: tampers, baskets, portafilters, distributors, jugs, scales, and cleaning supplies. Accessory quality sets a ceiling on shot consistency.
Coffee machine accessories are where good espresso becomes repeatable espresso. The right tamper, the right pitcher, the right basket — small purchases, real difference in the cup. We've been supplying barista accessories to Australia's cafés and home setups since 1999, from the same Pagewood workshop where every product gets handled before it ships. This is the gear that gets a good machine dialled in.
Accessories sit between the machine and the cup. They're the touchpoints where the barista does the work: gripping the portafilter, distributing the grinds, levelling the bed, stretching the milk, pouring the pattern. Get them right and the machine you spent thousands on starts doing what it was designed to do.
Coffee Parts carries the full kit across every workflow step. Dosing funnels and WDT tools for puck prep. MHW-3Bomber bottomless portafilters in 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm for Delonghi, Breville, Gaggia, and LM/E61 machines. Precision filter baskets from Muvna and MHW. Tampers from Muvna and Pesado. Dual-screen scales for shot timing. Milk jugs from Airflow and Muvna. Cafetto cleaning products and barista cloths.
We're the exclusive Australian distributor of MHW-3Bomber, the Gold Sponsor of the 2025 World Barista Championship. The accessories on this page are the ones we know from fitting them to café setups and home benches every week.
Accessories are easy to over-buy and easy to under-buy. Think in workflow order, from the dose to the finished pour, and identify what is missing.
Start with what touches the coffee directly
The portafilter, the basket, the tamper. These three shape the puck and dictate extraction more than almost anything else. Check the portafilter size first: Breville 54mm, La Marzocco and E61 58mm, Delonghi 51mm, Gaggia 58mm are the four common fits. Get this wrong and nothing else works. A precision basket (Muvna or MHW) replaces the loose-tolerance stock basket. A calibrated tamper (Muvna Constant Pressure, Pesado) delivers the same pressure every time.
Handle distribution next
After dosing, the grinds need even distribution before tamping. A dosing funnel stops grounds from spilling. A WDT tool breaks up clumps. A gravity distributor smooths the bed. The MHW Cyclone Gravity Distributor levels and pre-tamps in one motion. The MHW RDT spray bottle reduces static. Channelling — the failure mode of bad distribution — disappears once these tools enter the workflow.
Add measurement
A scale belongs under the cup. Shot weight tells you whether the recipe is on track in real time. The Cafe de Kona LED dual-screen scale and Muvna Bean Tray Scale both work on standard espresso drip trays.
Match milk to the machine
Milk jug volume depends on cup sizes. 600ml suits flat-white-and-cappuccino households. 350ml suits single milk drinks. 1L is café volume. Airflow and Muvna jugs cover home and café spectrums.
Keep it clean
Cafetto cleaning products, cloths, and group brushes are the daily-and-weekly kit. Scale damage and group-head residue are the two avoidable failures that shorten a machine's life. A small investment in cleaning supply protects a large investment in equipment.
Cups close the loop
Origami Aroma Mugs and Fellow Pirch espresso glasses finish the workflow. The cup affects how the coffee smells and how the milk pour holds its shape. If you need help matching accessories to your specific machine, contact us.
MHW-3Bomber was the Gold Sponsor of the 2025 World Barista Championship: the brand whose tampers, distributors, filter baskets, and portafilters were used on the global competition stage. Coffee Parts is MHW-3Bomber's exclusive Australian distributor. Every MHW accessory on this page is the same gear specified for championship-level espresso prep, available to home baristas and Australian cafés.
The Coffee Parts setup we recommend alongside a new espresso machine: a calibrated tamper sized to your basket (Muvna Constant Pressure or Pesado for 58mm, Muvna for 53mm), a precision basket to match (Muvna Units 8 22g for 58mm), a dosing funnel for your portafilter size (MHW Breville 54mm funnel for Breville 8 Series, generic 58mm for everything else), a WDT tool, a dual-screen scale for shot timing, a 600ml milk jug, Cafetto barista cloths, and a starter cleaning kit. Together this list costs a fraction of the machine and changes the entire workflow.
I grew up watching Dom go through a small mountain of accessories trying to figure out which ones actually changed the cup and which were nicely-machined paperweights. The ones that earned their place on Coffee Parts' shelves are the ones we put in our own setups. A tamper that fits properly. A basket with real tolerances. A jug that pours where you aim. Small purchases, big difference in the cup. We've kept the noise off this page so the gear that matters can do the talking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories do I need for a new espresso machine? +
At minimum: a calibrated tamper sized to your basket, a precision filter basket, a dosing funnel, a WDT tool, a scale that fits the drip tray, a milk jug, and a starter cleaning kit. Together this kit costs roughly 5 to 10 percent of a typical home espresso machine and is where most of the early workflow gains come from.
What size portafilter does my coffee machine use? +
Breville home machines use 54mm. La Marzocco home machines (Linea Mini, Micra) and most E61 machines (Rocket Espresso, Profitec, ECM, Lelit, Bezzera) use 58mm. Delonghi La Specialista and Dedica use 51mm. Gaggia Classic and most commercial machines use 58mm. The portafilter size dictates which tampers, baskets, dosing funnels, and distributors will fit.
What is a WDT tool and do I need one? +
A WDT tool (Weiss Distribution Technique) is a set of fine needles you stir through the dose before tamping to break up clumps. It eliminates the most common cause of channelling. WDT tools cost under $30 and produce a measurable improvement in extraction from the first shot. For any espresso setup, yes, you need one.
Are precision baskets actually better than the stock basket? +
Yes. Stock baskets ship with loose manufacturing tolerances. Precision baskets from Muvna, MHW, and similar brands have tightly machined hole patterns that produce more even extraction and easier dialling in. They are direct replacements for the basket that came with your machine, matched to your portafilter size.
What size milk jug should I buy? +
350ml suits single milk drinks (one flat white or cappuccino). 600ml suits two milk drinks or one larger latte. 1L is café volume for back-to-back service. Most home setups own a 350ml and a 600ml. Spout shape — sharp for latte art, rounded for general pouring — is the second decision.
Does Coffee Parts ship coffee machine accessories Australia-wide? +
Yes. Orders placed before 3pm on weekdays dispatch the same day from our Pagewood warehouse in Sydney. We ship to every Australian state, territory, and regional postcode. See our contact page if you need help matching an accessory to your machine.
Why is MHW-3Bomber so prominent in the Coffee Parts accessories range? +
Coffee Parts is MHW-3Bomber's exclusive Australian distributor. MHW was the Gold Sponsor of the 2025 World Barista Championship. The range covers tampers, dosing funnels, distributors, baskets, portafilters, and glassware fitting Breville, La Marzocco, E61, Gaggia, and Delonghi machines. Competition-level engineering with broad fitment is why we lean into it.
How often should I clean my espresso machine and accessories? +
Daily backflush with water; weekly backflush with Cafetto cleaning powder. Wipe portafilters and steam wands after every drink. Replace shower screens and group seals annually on home machines, more often on café machines. Descaling is needed only if you do not run a water filter — and you should run a water filter.
