Machines i use for espresso
I’ve loved this coffee grinder since I got it. It has so many settings to get the perfect grind for your machine. For my machine I have it set to a 6 for 16 seconds.
Aromaster Coffee Bean Grinder, 48 Settings
I’m obsessed with this machine. I love how compact it is and the steam wand works great. Note that i do not use the basket that comes with it, though it’s totally useable

Extra things to help make my coffee better
Bottomless portafilters get you one of the best pours for espresso since the coffee isn’t going through multiple different materials. This one is compatible with the espresso machine i recommend
51mm Bottomless Portafilter
If you’re making espresso, you need a tamper. I haven’t used this on specifically but a spring loaded tamper ensures your grounds get the correct amount of pressure. I love the look of this one and will be adding it to my list of things to buy.
51mm Coffee Tamper V4.1 Spring Loaded Flat Base
This is a standard non-spring loaded tamper. That is more affordable and what I use. You just have to get practice on how much pressure to add
51mm Stainless Steel Espresso Tamper with Wood Handle
I love having a portable funnel. It keeps my countertop free of grounds when i pour it in the basket and distribute the grounds. This is a must to me
51mm Aluminum Espresso Portafilter Funnel
If you like milk in your espresso, you need a frothing pitcher to steam your milk. This one is great and affordable
12oz Milk Frothing Pitcher, 304 SS
This tool is helpful in making your grounds even in your basket to get a better shot. I like that this one comes with a stand. I have mine stuck to my machine so it doesn’t take up counter space and i don’t lose it
Espresso 10 Needle Stirrer
Puck screens help distribute the water evenly over your ground giving you the best espresso possible. I have yet to try them but they are on my list of items to order!
2 Pack 51mm Espresso Puck Screen, 150μm Mesh

Every couple of months you need to descale your espresso machine so it runs like new and gets you the best espresso shot. This one is made for Delonghi machines
