1. An espresso machine base is a space-economical way to dispose of grounds quickly and to store other accessories.
2. As a bona-fide coffee fanatic, you'll want a handy, air-tight container for storing beans before grinding. If you don't have a grinder with a sizable hopper, find a nice storage container.
3. Professional coffee brewing equipment requires professional cleaning chemicals. Find the right cleaning products for your specific gear to ensure the best product.
4. From jumbo, wide-top mugs to stainless steel espresso cups, you've got to drink your java from a cup with some style. Matching saucers are a must-have too, as we all sometimes spill during those first few shaky sips.
5. If you're downing a few shots of espresso a day, invest in a little knock box to catch all those grounds. This is also a great resource for saving grounds for gardening purposes.
6. A good tamper is required for packing your grounds just right for your espresso needs. The options are many, from bare-bones econo models to hip, art-deco pieces that look great on the counter top. Either way, it's a must-have item.
7. If you don't have a grinder that also doses out your coffee grounds, get a measured spoon for a more-exact brew. These are great for espresso machines, but they can help everyone brew perfect drip coffee, too.
