Good value and for newbies
Size: 54mm Fits Breville Barista/Bambino/Infuser
Keep in mind I am new to the home espresso machine world, but prioritize my coffee quality. For context I am using this kit with a Breville Bambino Plus machine with an after market Teyearlife 54mm bottomless portafilter.
The build quality of all of the items in the is very good. Solid feel and machined cleanly free of imperfections or rough spots. Fits both the Breville stock amd aftermarket portafilter perfectly. Really can beat the price on this kit compared to others. I would recommend washing all of the items in warm water with just tiny bit of fragrance free dish soap and disassembling the tamp and leveler to wash off the machine oil that was applied in the factory since you do not know if that is food safe or not. Mine smelled more like WD40. Just use a thin layer of butcher block or food grade mineral oil when dry and before you reassemble those items.
I would have given 5 stars but three things held me back from doing so.
First, the needles on the WDT tool have sharp tips and really do not need to be, so I may be cutting the tips off.
Second the magnets on the portafilter funnel should be bigger, or stronger, or there should be more of them, it needs to have just a little more grab in my opinion.
Third and lastly, I was hoping for some instructions or guidance on what depth to set the tamp and leveler to. So for now just kinda playing it by feel. I have pulled 2 double shots using this kit and I get good crema and consistent 45ml of espresso with 19g of fresh ground coffee. So maybe I got lucky with my first initial setting but would like to get some reference to start from.
Other than that, I would say this is a good kit for those venturing into the world of espresso who do not want to spend a lot on accessories, but also want quality tools that you can grow with over time. Happy brewing!
