51mm Espresso Accessories Kit, Coffee Distributor and Tamper Leveler, WDT Tool and Dosing Funnel Set Fits Delonghi 51 mm Espresso Machines and Portafilters

Great set. I just have a home espresso machine and am definitely not an expert barista. I didn't even know there were different sizes of portafilters. I had to research to make sure I bought the correct size kit for mine. I wasn't sure if these tools were real or just a gimmick to look cool by my express machine. But the set really made it easy to fill the portafilter with no mess and a nice even tamped down puck. I use the funnel, distributor, and tamper each time and it is much cleaner, and quicker then that plastic scoop/tamper that came with my machine. And it looks cool by my expresso machine.

Works really well. Definitely ups your 51 mm espresso game. Add a puck screen (to my mind the most important bit of "nonessential" coffee kit) and an itty bitty water sprayer to give your beans a pre-grind spritz and you're set with all the espresso tools/toys you need. But remember, you can't shine a turd - more genteelly stated, garbage in - garbage out. If you don't start with great beans you'll never get great espresso. My favorite source of mail order coffee is Northbound Coffee Roasters in Mt. Shasta, CA ( I have zero financial interest - I'm just a very satisfied customer). They are artists and expeditiously deliver expertly and freshly roasted beans.

I absolutely love mine! The leveler is a little to heavy for my machine as it compacts too good! But I only own a beginners Espresso Machine with not much kick to it when it comes to pressure. I'd definitely buy this again!

Nice quality materials for a good price. It tampers my coffee for a good espresso

The kit is a great value—I definitely noticed an improvement in both the taste and consistency of my espresso shots.

Excelente kit muy completo y útil. Ayuda a mejorar la calidad en la preparación de café

The leveler and tamper cannot be used simultaneously; you'll always have to choose one or the other. It's best used only as a leveler, then get a better tamper separately. The funnel works perfectly and feels very solid. The "needles" do their job, but they're not the best I've tried.

Must have for home espresso machine. Made a big difference in how my espresso turned out. Have had for a few months and all items have held up well with near daily use.
