Machine and accessories
This is by far the best espresso machine for your first at home setup. It has manual and automatic options so you can learn the basics slowly or let the bambino handle it if you just want a quick latte.
Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine BES500BTR
If you are serious about learning the science behind a perfect espresso, you need a scale with a timer to time your extraction time. This one does it all and it’s affordable.
Espresso Scale
Knock box is not mandatory but really practical to have on hand. Just be aware that it can get moldy pretty fast so empty it every 2-3 days.
Coffee Knock Box
You have one that comes with the machine but I like to have everything in Black to fit my setup. Also this one is light and works great for latte art.
Milk Frothing Pitcher
This is for 54mm portafilters. It’s the one that fits with my Bambino plus but if you have a different machine make sure it’s the right size. If you don’t have a single dose grinder, this is really useful.
Espresso Dosing Funnel
There are sooo many handmade espresso cups option on Etsy ! I really recommend checking it out and finding one that fits your vibe 🫶🏻
Personalised Ceramic Espresso Cup
Again check the size that fits your machine. The bambino plus is 54mm so this one is great. And the spring in it is so you make the right pressure on your puck.
Tamper 53.3mm
