Espresso

Home espresso comes down to three things. A machine that holds a steady temperature, a grinder fine and consistent enough for espresso, and a few small tools that make every shot repeatable.

Start with the espresso machine guide if you are choosing your first machine. Then add a milk frother if you drink lattes on a machine without a steam wand, and pick up the accessories that remove guesswork, like a scale with a timer and a proper tamper.
