Frothing Thermometer
BARISTAS HELP! Bought my first espresso machine, now what? What are the extra accessories I need?
I just bought my first espresso machine; it’s “DeLonghi BCO130T Combination Coffee/Espresso Machine”. Here is the link to the product:

I’m pretty good at navigating the net, but I cannot find a place that tells me exactly what I need! Do I get a grinder for beans? Also, I was going to get a frothing pitcher and a thermometer, do I really need these? I was also looking into getting some of the espresso pods. I know that they won’t taste as good, but it will be great for those mornings when I’m in a rush! The pods say that your machine has to be designed to accept “ESE” coffee pods. I was looking at the machine’s manual online and couldn’t find this anywhere. Is there anything else I need? Oh and by the way, I usually drink lattes and stuff like that. Thanks for your help in advance!!! =o)
Ok, I’m not a barista, but I have an espresso machine.
You could get a grinder for the espresso beans, or just buy it already ground. I don’t use a thermometer, so it might be nice, although not necessary. You need something to use to steam/froth the milk, though a specific frothing pitcher isn’t necessary. I use a ceramic mug. I’ve been told that either ceramic or stainless steel mugs work well. Note: keep this in the fridge, it somehow helps with the frothing…not sure why.
Hope this helps.
