The best accessories for your portafilter machine – How to get more out of your espresso
If you love your portafilter machine and want to get more control, consistency, and flavor from your espresso, you can't do without high-quality barista accessories. Whether you're a beginner or a home barista with high standards – the right accessories make a real difference. At La Barista, you'll find exactly the tools that take your espresso preparation to the next level.
In this article, we show you our top recommendations for accessories that no espresso kitchen should be without.
☑️ Pressure-Regulating Tamper – For Consistent Tamping Without Guesswork
One of the most common mistakes in espresso preparation: uneven tamping. This leads to channeling, uneven extraction, and fluctuating taste.
With a pressure-regulating tamper, that's a thing of the past. It automatically ensures the correct tamping pressure – reproducible, consistent, and gentle on the wrists. Ideal for anyone who wants consistent espresso quality – with every shot.
☑️ Subminimal Nano Coffee Scale – Precision in Miniature
Anyone who wants to brew perfect espresso needs control over brew time and coffee amount. The ultra-compact Subminimal Nano Scale is specially designed for use under the portafilter machine.
With quick response, high accuracy, and timer function, it is ideal for single-dose preparation or classic doppios. It even fits under low brew groups – minimalist, smart, and efficient.
☑️ Subminimal WDT Tool – For perfect coffee distribution in the portafilter
Clumps in the coffee grounds? Uneven extraction? Then a WDT Tool (Weiss Distribution Tool) is just right for you.
The Subminimal WDT Tool breaks up the coffee grounds before tamping and distributes them evenly in the portafilter. The result: even flow, finer crema, and better taste – especially with light roasts and single origin espresso.
☑️ La Barista Leveler – The first step to the perfect shot
Before tamping, you should distribute your coffee grounds flat and evenly in the portafilter. Our La Barista Leveler ensures a perfectly even surface – fast, simple, and precise.
It is the ideal helper to improve extraction, simplify the workflow, and create the foundation for consistently good shots.
