The essentials

Grinder

Grinds fresh and fine enough for espresso. The single biggest upgrade to taste.

Scale

Weigh coffee in and espresso out, so a good shot is one you can repeat.

Tamper

Presses the coffee flat and even. Must match your 58 mm basket.

Nice to have

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

Steam wand unverified450 ml

We couldn't confirm the Profitec Pro 400 has a steam wand. Check before buying the Subminimal FlowTip Milk Jug if you plan to make milk drinks.

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 58 mm basket.

Puck screen

Sits on top of the coffee for more even water flow and a cleaner machine. Must match your 58 mm basket.

Dosing cup

Catches grounds from the grinder so less ends up on the counter. Must match your 58 mm basket.

Knock box

A place to knock out used coffee pucks.
