01 /Grinders
A separate grinder has its own footprint
Baratza Encore ESP — black ZCG495BLK
Product image supplied via AMZ Connect. Check the exact variant and pack on Amazon.
A model-specific reference when planning an espresso-oriented setup with a separate grinder.
Know the limits
Encore, Encore ESP and Encore ESP Pro are different models. We have not measured noise, retention, speed or grind quality.
Before you choose
Amazon title and black ZCG495 variant checked. Obtain dimensions and instructions for this exact configuration, including hopper access; no automatic fit preset is supplied.
Paid link · Amazon.com US. Confirm current variant, seller and contents.
02 /Manual brewing
The dripper is only part of the stack
Hario V60 plastic dripper — size 02, clear
Product image supplied via AMZ Connect. Check the exact variant and pack on Amazon.
A compact manual-brewing reference for readers who already have a compatible serving vessel and other required equipment.
Know the limits
Hario lists this plastic 02 family at W137 × D116 × H102 mm. That describes the dripper, not its height on your server, cup or scale.
Before you choose
Confirm size 02, clear plastic, and the exact contents. Check support and vessel compatibility from actual instructions; a rectangular footprint is not a stability test.
Paid link · Amazon.com US. Confirm current variant, seller and contents.
03 /Measuring
Mass rather than scoop count
Hario Drip Scale Timer · black
Product image supplied via AMZ Connect. Check the exact variant and pack on Amazon.
A weighing-and-timing option for recording coffee mass rather than assuming each scoop contains the same weight.
Know the limits
The linked listing is titled Drip Scale Timer; Hario’s current page identifies VSTN-INT-2000B. Confirm the supplied model before relying on that page’s detailed resolution table. No accuracy test was performed.
Before you choose
Check capacity for the whole brewing stack, display visibility and care instructions. A scale is not a heatproof or waterproof work surface.
Paid link · Amazon.com US. Confirm current variant, seller and contents.
06 /Manual brewing
Choose a brewing route
AeroPress Original · gray, standard
Product image supplied via AMZ Connect. Check the exact variant and pack on Amazon.
An alternative manual brewer for a small station, rather than another accessory required for a V60 setup.
Know the limits
Original, Go and XL are different formats. Espresso-style marketing is not evidence of equivalence to an espresso machine; no taste or extraction test was performed.
Before you choose
Check the current box contents, filters, supporting vessel and official operating method. Account for use, rinsing and drying space as well as storage.
