The Dial-In Kit

The four tools that fix most home-espresso problems, sized for your machine. Everything in this kit comes from our own "buy or skip" list on Dial-In Daily: a tamper that actually fits your basket, a dosing ring so grounds land in the basket instead of the counter, a WDT tool to break up clumps, and a milk pitcher for lattes.

What's in the box

• Calibrated spring tamper – clicks at the same pressure every time, so the grind setting is the only thing you're changing.
• Dosing ring – sits on the portafilter so you can grind straight in without spilling.
• WDT tool – fine stainless needles that stir out clumps, the most common cause of channeling.
• 350 ml (12 oz) milk pitcher – stainless steel with a pointed spout, the right size for one latte.
• Bonus: The Dial-In Guide (PDF) – our 7-page guide: starting recipe, sour-vs-bitter fixes, puck prep, silky milk and a printable shot log.

Which size do I need?

• 51mm – De'Longhi Stilosa, Dedica and other 51mm portafilters
• 53–54mm (Breville) – Breville Bambino, Bambino Plus, Barista Express / Impress
• 58mm – Gaggia Classic and most 58mm machines
