Espresso Machine: A top-notch espresso machine is the foundation of any barista's toolkit. Look for a machine that offers advanced features like precise temperature control, consistent pressure, and programmable settings. This ensures that you can extract the full flavours and aromas from your coffee beans, resulting in exceptional espresso shots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. Coffee Grinder: Unlock the true potential of your coffee beans with a reliable coffee grinder. Opt for a burr grinder, known for its consistent grind size. Adjustable settings allow you to customize the grind size based on your preferred brewing method, whether it's espresso, pour-over, or French press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. Digital Scale: Achieving the perfect coffee-to-water ratio is crucial for consistent brews. A precise digital scale allows you to measure your ingredients accurately, ensuring reproducibility and consistency. Look for a scale with a high weight capacity and quick response time for efficient brewing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. Milk Frothing Pitcher: To create creamy, perfectly steamed milk for lattes and cappuccinos, a high-quality milk frothing pitcher is a must. Choose one with a pointed spout for precise pouring and a comfortable handle for control. The right pitcher will help you achieve silky microfoam and create stunning latte art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. Tamper: Achieving an even and level coffee bed in the portafilter is essential for consistent extraction. Invest in a well-made tamper that fits comfortably in your hand and matches the size of your portafilter basket. A properly tamped coffee bed promotes optimal water flow and enhances flavor extraction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6. Knock Box: Keep your workspace clean and organized with a dedicated knock box. A sturdy and spacious knock box allows you to efficiently dispose of used coffee grounds, ensuring a smooth workflow during busy hours. Look for one that is easy to clean and can handle daily use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e7. Brewing Accessories: Enhance your coffee-making experience with additional brewing accessories. Consider adding a gooseneck kettle for precise water pouring, a brew scale for accurate measurements, a timer for consistency, and a coffee spoon for precise dosing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8. Cleaning Tools: Proper equipment maintenance is essential for optimal performance. Invest in cleaning tools such as group head brushes, blind filter baskets for backflushing, cleaning powders or tablets, and microfiber cloths to keep your equipment clean and in excellent condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy equipping yourself with these essential barista supplies, you'll be well-prepared to create remarkable coffee experiences that will impress your customers.

We Aim to Match, But Conditions Apply!
We strive to offer the most competitive prices in Australia for all your coffee brewing needs. While we're confident in our pricing, we're human, and occasionally, a competitor might slip a lower price past our radar. That's where you come in! If you spot a better deal elsewhere, we'll gladly match it, with some fair conditions to ensure a level playing field.
Here's the scoop:
Aussie rivals only: The competitor must be an Australian retailer with prices in AUD and shipping from within our great nation.
Brand buddies: They must be an authorised retailer of the specific brand you're eyeing.
Twinsies, please: The product needs to be an exact match, brand new in its box, and readily available.
Delivery included: We'll factor in the competitor's delivery cost for an apples-to-apples comparison.
Now, for some exceptions, where our price-matching magic might not work:
Cashback & discounts: We can't match deals involving cashback offers or special discount coupons.
Bulk buys: Commercial quantity pricing is a different beast, so we won't match those either.
Clearance frenzy: Stock liquidation sales are temporary deals, and we can't keep up with their ever-changing prices.
History can't be rewritten: We can't adjust past orders that have already been processed.
Auction arena: Prices from auction sites like eBay or Catch of the Day aren't eligible.
The rare exception:
In extraordinary situations, we might not be able to match a competitor's price exactly. But don't worry, we'll still offer you the best possible price we can, because your coffee happiness matters to us!
So, there you have it! With these guidelines in mind, feel free to share any lower prices you find, and let's brew up some fair competition!

Having always bought my coffee from cafes, I’m a total newbie at this whole at-home caper. Daniel was so patient, enthusiastic and helpful. The products showed up within a few days and I was given heaps of clear direction about how to use everything. Saving myself a fortune and I’m really enjoying being more capable, not to mention the smell of my home has improved. Well done guys. Great job.
