Espresso Starter Kits
Your Home Barista Journey Begins
The Espresso Starter Kits Collection features complete sets for aspiring home baristas, including tampers, portafilters, milk pitchers, and essential tools for crafting café-quality espresso drinks at home. Each kit removes the guesswork and gives you everything needed to pull your first perfect shot.
Why Start with a Kit?
Espresso is precise, technical, and unforgiving — but incredibly rewarding. A starter kit gives you compatible, quality tools that work together, eliminating the confusion of buying pieces separately. You'll learn faster and waste less coffee with the right setup from day one.

- Tamper: Even compression for consistent extraction
- Portafilter Basket: Precision-sized for your machine
- Milk Pitcher: Stainless steel for latte art
- Distribution Tool: Level grounds before tamping
