What is this?



Coffee or espresso accessories complete not only the process of making coffee or a shot of espresso but also make the experience a better one.

How can a single coffee accessory really make it better?

If you're planning to make your own cappuccino at home, you would need 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk and 1/3 milk froth and how exactly can you froth? To make it you would need a coffee accessory called a milk frother.

Every barista needs their own quality frothing pitchers to produce rich and creamy froth for their cappuccinos and lattes.

In making espresso, measurement is very important. You wouldn't want to just estimate the amount of coffee you include since that would affect the amount of water you will have. And having more water than the required amount will lead to a weak tasting coffee.

That's why having your own coffee measure scoop is the way to go in this type of situation. It is a coffee accesory has a long handle to make sure you get easy access to your bag of coffee. Scrape off extra coffee on top and you'll have the exact amount you need for your espresso.

In addition to that, if you will be making an espresso, a barista would need an espresso tamper. Why? This espresso accessory is needed to make sure that the coffee is evenly tamped in the porta-filter. A well tamped coffee will extract the coffee better.

Here is a list of different espresso and coffee accessories you might need:

Coffee Filters

Swissgold coffee filter There are three main coffee filters in the market: paper, gold and cloth. These are very important as they separate the coffee grounds from getting into your coffee.

Coffee Grinders
