What essential accessories are must-have for barista tool

[amandajoseph]

The top accessories are mentioned below which are must-have, and easily supplied via any leading URL redacted or supplier, either you need for home or restaurant use, make sure you own all these basic things;
1. Tamper – The tamper is required when coffee needs to be compressed and flattened after making it grind in brew handle. Rather, water quickly flows out. Tampers come in different range of shapes and sizes.
Take ruler for measuring top of your metal filter basket, and minus around 3-4mm. 58mm is the most common size, so if you measure this then consider 58mm base.
2. Knock Box - This is a bin that is used to knock your used coffee into. Best to use with your brewing handle, and ideal if you want to recycle or compost the coffee beans.
3. Milk Jug – Milk jug is very important as you can't make a flattie without a pitcher for steaming milk. I would suggest take 2 non-stick pitchers. One of 12oz, and other in 20oz.
4. Thermometer - Nothing worse than scorched milk. The ideal temperature is around 55-65c, take the guesswork out with a simple thermometer.
5. Scales - Scales will be useful to make sure you're grinding and adding the correct amount of coffee to your basket. Also use them to accurately weigh your shots as they come out, much more accurate than sight or time.
6. Shot Glass - Great if the height under your handle is limited or if you like to split your shots. Also to check the volume of espresso you've just poured.
