Coffee Machine Accessories

The right accessories keep any coffee machine performing at its best long after the first cup. A descaling solution or tablets used every few weeks clears the limescale that builds up in hard water areas and affects both flavour and machine lifespan, while a dedicated water filter softens water at the source. Milk jugs and electric frothers add café-style microfoam to machines without a built-in frother, and a set of cleaning tablets or a cleaning kit keeps the brew group free of old coffee oils. For manual brewing, a tamper evens out the coffee bed for a consistent espresso shot, and a coffee grinder lets you grind fresh beans for machines that don't have one built in. Filter papers, a knock box and a bean canister round out a well-equipped coffee station.

De'Longhi stocks descaler, milk frothing jugs, a knock box, coffee tamper and cleaning kits designed for its own machines, and Sage offers matching descaler, cleaning tablets and a temperature-control milk jug for Sage machines. Blackmoor's pour-over sets and barista tools suit manual brewing, while Morphy Richards and Quest add standalone electric grinders and Daewoo an electric milk frother.
