Coffee Parts Home Coffee Accessories Kit with 51mm Tamper
Our Coffee Parts barista accessories have been designed to complement beautiful home espresso coffee machines, yet fit in the busiest of specialty coffee cafe, coffee shops and roasteries. The coffee machine accessories included within the home coffee accessories kit form the basis for the barista equipment needed to get started with prosumer espresso coffee machines. These barista supplies include:
The Professional Barista Coffee Tamper may look like one of the simplest coffee accessories, however it is one of the most important in the espresso making process, used to evenly tamp the ground coffee in the filter basket in the aim to create an even distribution of coffee grounds and reduce paths of least resistance called channeling. This 51mm coffee tamper was designed to be simple yet ergonomically designed to be used in beautiful home coffee machine setups of home baristas. It weights just over 425 grams which is the industry standard for this size, has a stainless base to withstand damage from usage and an aluminium handle to allow the weight to be balanced. The radius of the base was also chosen to maximise surface area when tamping without compromising the strength of the base edge.
The Silicon Tamping Mat has been design to be an easy to clean silicon rubber tamping surface which reduces stress on your wrists from repetitive tamping while protecting your bench from scratches and dents caused by the portafilter.
The Tamping Seat has a simple design to protect the tamper base and keep the bench workspace clean and organised. This tamper seat has an easy to clean silicon rubber tamping surface and protects your bench from dents caused by the tamper.
Our Classic Coffee Parts barista stainless steel milk jug / milk pitcher are used just about everywhere from homes to cafes and specialty coffee roasteries. Featuring a smooth pouring spout perfect free pouring latte art, a busy barista-friendly handle and a full stainless steel jug, it’s the perfect stainless milk pitching jug for baristas who want reliable steaming gear.
Coffee thermometers are both used for consistency in the art of steaming and stretching milk, as well as the safety of both the barista and the consumer. As milk reaches its potentially hazardous burning point at 72 degrees celsius, it is important to sever milk based espresso coffees at just under this temperature to avoid burning the mouths of consumers. Milk also changes its properties dramatically after 72 degrees celsius and loses its natural sweetness, which makes milk temperature a crucial part of serving the best possible milk based coffees. The milk frothing thermometer with its clear dial, will help you go from cold milk to the perfect time to turn off the steam. The thermometer has a marking at 60 degrees celsius as an indicator of the milk frothing temperature where you should start cutting your streaming, and then a marker at 65-70 degrees for where you shouldn't go past as once it hits 72 degrees celsius the milk properties will change dramatically. You will notice at this temperature the sound of the milk being steamed will also change.
And lastly, how can we have a cappuccino without a great chocolate shaker!

Coffee Parts Accessories Kit Review
Let's be honest, it's hard to be totally un-biased reviewing our own kits, so let's just explain our why put this kit together. A great little starter kit for home espresso or small cafes, however we also recommend the addition of the essential cleaning kit and knocking tube to the full home barista kit.
