When you buy your first home espresso machine, there are a few recommended accessories that may or may not come with your machine. First and foremost, you'll need a small milk pitcher in order to froth your milk for lattes, flat whites and cappuccinos. Other things you'll need are cleaning powders and milk cleaning liquid. You may also want to invest in a tamp matt, this is designed to reduce the impact that tamping your portafilter has on your worksurface.
