Do you have Breville or something similar at home and struggle to make Cafe quality coffee? If so, you sound like our next customer. 

Listen carefully - to make amazing coffee at home and give yourself the start to everyday that you deserve - here is what you need. 

1. Great coffee - Freshly roasted. Specialty grade. 
2. Scales 
3. Puck prep

This kit provides you will all the necessary tools to get started. Add a bag of Average Joe's coffee - the worlds easiest coffee to dial in on a Breville.

This is how the essentials pack has helped hundreds of Aussies make better coffee at home.  

1. The Holy Grail Coffee Scale: Scales are the most important accessory when making coffee at home. If you follow the recipe below you will get the most out of your equipment. If you don't, its like trying to bake a cake blindfolded with your hands tied behind your back. This model has a unique shape which allows you to rest your group handle or two cups on it, making it perfect for making coffee at home.
   
2. DOSE Level Tamper with WDT Tool: This innovative 2-in-1 tool combines a Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) tool which declumps your ground coffee and a spring-loaded level tamper for the same tamp every time. This reduces channeling and helps you acheive consistent delicious espresso. 
   
3. Dosing Funnel: Say goodbye to messy countertops. This magnetic funnel fits snugly on your portafilter, ensuring all grounds make it into the basket. Available in 51mm, 54mm and 58mm sizes. Its a must have when using a WDT tool.
   
4. TNB Black Tamper Mat: Fitted with a holder for your new WDT Tamper and a Tamping station for your portafilter. 

Now here is the important part. 

The JOE Recipe - 3 key variables which when all achieved together make delicious coffee. Let's Joe

Part 1: THE DOSE- Weigh 18g of ground coffee into your portafilter. 

At this point we use our WDT Tamper to unclump and distribute the coffee grounds and then Tamp evenly and with consistent pressure. 

Part 2: THE YEILD - Weigh 36g of espresso into your cup. Stop the shot manually. (Hot tip - stop a few grams early as the remaining water through your puck should bring you to the 36g yield) 

Part 3: THE TIME - Time how long it takes you to get those 36g of espresso. How long did it take? Less than 25 seconds? Grind finer. More than 30 seconds? Grind coarser. 

Part 1 and Part 2 are controlled. Don't change them. Change the grind to change the time. 

*Assumptions - You are using a 54mm Breville portafilter with a double shot (or 18g) basket found on the Breville Barista Express, Breville Barista Pro, Breville Bambino or Breville Barista Touch. 

If you have a machine with a 58mm Portafilter Change your dose to 21g and your yield to 42g 

Espresso always works close to a 1:2 brew ratio meaning 1 part ground coffee to 2 parts espresso into the cup. And between 25-30 seconds is a good sweet spot for most coffees.
