No hobby, passion, or pastime has reached its full potential until you've got all the right gadgets and accessories to go with it. With stylish and streamlined accompaniments, performance is increased and enjoyment is maximized. I may be biased, but this ethos is most applicable to the world of craft coffee — having the right coffee machine accessories means a way better brew.
I stand by the fact that a quality cup of coffee all comes down to the espresso shot. But there is way more to achieving that than just investing in the best espresso machine. Do you have a tamping mat, puck sucker, and knock box (yes, these are all real terms) for easier portafiller maintenance? Does your milk frother tell the temperature and look stylish sitting on your counter while it does it?
