Won't fit the drip tray0.1 g · Auto timer

The Timemore Black Mirror Basic 2.0 isn't espresso-sized, so it may not fit on your machine's drip tray under the cup. You can still weigh your beans with it.

Tamper

Presses the coffee flat and even. Must match your machine's basket size.

Nice to have

Skip these at first if you're watching the budget. Add them any time. 1 of 6 covered

Blind Shaker

Basket size unverifiedDosing cup · Magnetic

We couldn't confirm the Weber Workshops Blind Shaker fits the De'Longhi Stilosa: we don't know the portafilter size of the De'Longhi Stilosa (the dosing cup is made for 58mm). The dosing cup must match the portafilter size exactly, so check both before buying.

WDT tool

Fine needles that break up clumps so water flows evenly through the coffee.

Distributor

Levels the coffee before you tamp. Must match your machine's basket size.

Puck screen

Sits on top of the coffee for more even water flow and a cleaner machine. Must match your machine's basket size.

Milk pitcher

For steaming milk for lattes and cappuccinos.

Knock box

A place to knock out used coffee pucks.
