Y-Step 25 PCS Espresso Accessories Kit, Espresso Tamper Kit Coffee Tamper Set, 51mm Espresso Tamper with Spring Loaded Calibrated, 51mm Espresso Puck Screen and Dosing Funnel, WDT Tool, Latte Art Kit

I'm absolutely loving this espresso tamper kit! I recently decided to dive deeper into making espresso and lattes at home, and this has been a fantastic addition to my setup, helping me get even more out of our De'Longhi coffee maker.
I can honestly say that proper tamping makes all the difference in the world, and this kit really delivers. I especially appreciate the option to set the calibration, which has been incredibly helpful for consistency. As someone super new to the world of espresso, it took a little while to figure everything out, but it was well worth the learning curve.

Overall, this is a great espresso kit for beginners. It's high quality, performs wonderfully, and looks great on my counter too. Highly recommend!

I’m using these tools for my Breville espresso machine for a while now. It has all the tools to make a good capuchino for affordable price. It even have few templates to decorate your capuchino.

Only decent item in kit was the pitcher and screen. Tamp feels very flimsy and cheap. The worst thing about it was the dosing funnel. It is not magnetic as described, and the funnel sits on the inside of basket therefore defeating its purpose when removing. Grounds disperse when removing and makes a mess. Definitely better kits out there for the price.

Received the items used and dirty. All packaging was torn. Milk pitcher has water stains, dosing funnel was dirty, and everything else had like lint and stuff all over it.

Fun little starter set! For a moderate and up home barista this may not meet their standards, however for a beginner this gives you plenty of tools to figure out what works for you.
Pitcher is good and works as expected to find for anything else around 10 bucks, give or take.
Tamper is good too! Not sure how well it’s calibrated for pressure but the edges help for an even consistent temp. I’d expect to find something like this online for around 25 bucks. Pretty cool that it comes with a rubber mat/holder to help keep your area clean.
WDT tool is kinda bulky but the needles are nice and long which can help get into the portafilter with a funnel on.
Funnel is a nice addition however the magnets are very weak and it doesn’t hold well. Plus the bottom of the funnel has a lip that tucks inside of the portafilter which can cause the grounds to create a space around the edge which could lead to “donut” shots.
Stencils and little utensils are useless to me but the puck screens are a great add on and I like seeing them inside the package.
And finally a neat little microfiber towel to clean everything up after. Decent quality towel with a nice little loop to hang. Plus the coffee color is cool.
Overall, for the price, you are definitely getting your moneys worth out of this starter set. Overall, I’ve had fun setting this up and using it pulling several shots throughout the day. everything was fun to open and came well packaged.

**Background:** I recently purchased a budget espresso machine. I'm on a mission to get the best extraction I can and this kit has a lot of tools I need to get there.

**Build Quality:** I primarily got this for the tamper in the dosing funnel. I am very happy with the quality of both. The dosing funnel has magnets on it and it's nice. Decent quality aluminum. A temper has a very nice heft to it. The spring action is solid.

The puck screen is fine I measured the thickness at 1.731 mm

The little hand tools are on the cheaper side, but that's not why I got this kit.

**Function:**
Funnel the final works real well and fits my 51 mm bottomless portafilter perfect. The portafilter is ferrous so the dosing funnel magnets work well.

Tamper: The Tamper is nice. I definitely like having the adjustable depth. I'm really trying to dial things in and do things in the most controlled way possible. The pamper also fits my bottomless as portafilter perfect.

The WDT is fine it's a little on the stiff side but does the job well enough.

**Conclusions:** The main reason I got this kit was the funnel and tamper. I'm very happy both the quality and the performance of these two things.

I ordered this espresso kit and honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it. The tamper gets stuck on the filter and feels very cheap. The other items included aren’t the best either they do the job, but the quality is not great. For the price, you can definitely find something better.
