The fit calculator
Precision fit matters for espresso prep. A 54 mm tool will not work on a 58 mm group head. Select your machine line below to view the tools sized specifically for your setup. Three taps: your machine, what your bench already holds, the wood you like. The answer is your size and the exact tools that fill the gaps, at today's prices.
The bench, in order
Four steps before the water
Most channeled shots go wrong before you touch the brew switch. Preparing a bench follows a clear sequence: grind, distribute, tamp, and screen. Get those four steps right before water reaches the basket.
Step 1
Grind
Start with a burr grinder set to a fine table-salt texture. Published brewing guidance suggests aiming for 1 gram of dry coffee to 2 grams of brewed espresso over 20 to 30 seconds of water contact.
Step 2
Distribute
Grounds must sit evenly before pressure is applied. Published brewing guidance places distribution ahead of tamping, noting that purpose-made tools help prevent channeled paths. Explore our WDT needle stirrers and levelers to break up clumps.
Step 3
Tamp
A compact, level puck lets water saturate the coffee bed evenly. Calibrated tampers land the exact same pressure every time. Pairing your tool with a tamping station gives the portafilter a stable, secure seat.
Step 4
Screen and brew
Adding a puck screen keeps the shower screen clean while spreading incoming water across the bed. Aim for a 20 to 30 second extraction, stopped by a digital scale rather than a guess.

51 / 54 / 58
Know your group size
The measurement that decides the fit is your machine's own basket. When in doubt, measure the basket, not the outside of the portafilter. The size guide shows how.
Material
Three woods, one steel
Our tools pair stainless steel bodies with solid hardwood handles and accents. Choose between walnut, rosewood, or maple depending on the look you want at your coffee bar and the feel in your hand.
Walnut
Dark brown with a clean, straight grain. Walnut finishes the largest share of our range for a classic coffee setup.
Rosewood
Deep red-brown and dense, rosewood features a strong figure that brings a warm contrast against stainless steel.
Maple
Pale and smooth with an even grain structure, maple serves as the light wood option across our tools.
From the bench
How our tools are made
We select walnut, rosewood, and maple for our handles, choosing boards with tight grain and consistent density. Each handle is turned on a lathe, sanded smooth through fine grits, and finished with oil or sealants designed for daily exposure to water and coffee grounds. Metal parts are machined from stainless steel.
The people behind the bench
We are a small team with a crowded workbench and a simple routine. Every piece of gear in our range sits on our own coffee stations long before it reaches yours.
Freshness
Store beans like they stale, because they do
Whole coffee beans stale rapidly in open air. Single-dose glass tubes hold one shot each, weighed once, so your morning workflow stays quick and consistent.
Coffee faces four main enemies: air, moisture, heat, and light. Keeping beans in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dark place prevents rapid aging. Whole roasted beans stay fresh for one to three weeks at room temperature, while ground coffee holds freshness for only one to two weeks. For best results, grind right before pulling your shot. Browse our bean storage department for single-dose tubes, stands, and dosing cups.

The kits, compared
Our tool kits collect your espresso bench into one order, matched in the same wood. Because two six-piece kits can contain entirely different tools, compare the actual contents side by side. Each kit page lists every item included.

Care
Wipe, do not soak
Good espresso tools last for years with simple maintenance. Wipe them down after each session, and never submerge wooden parts. Coffee oils wipe clean off stainless steel, but standing water opens wood grain and ruins fine oil finishes.
- Steel partsRinse stainless steel tools under warm water after daily use and dry them completely with a clean towel.
- Wood handles and stationsWipe wood handles and tamping stations with a damp cloth and dry them immediately, keeping them out of standing water and away from the dishwasher.
- Puck screensRinse puck screens right after pulling a shot, and soak them in warm water occasionally to clear fine coffee particles from the mesh.
- Knock boxesEmpty your knock box daily, as wet spent grounds trap moisture against the wooden walls.

In their words
Nine reviews, five of them not five stars
We publish what customers wrote, word for word, including the spelling and the complaints. Five of the nine below sit under five stars, because a page of nothing but praise tells you nothing. Reviews cover a whole group of sizes and woods together, so the variant each writer bought is named underneath.
Solved My Static Problem — Cleaner Grinding and Better Workflow
I added the KNODOS Coffee Bean Dosing Cup and RDT Sprayer Gift Set to my espresso setup and it’s one of those small accessories that makes a big difference in the overall coffee workflow.I originally bought this because I was having serious static issues when grinding fresh beans, which meant coffee grounds were flying everywhere and making a mess during the grinding process. The included RDT sprayer completely solved that problem. After a few light sprays, a quick shake of the beans, and one more spray, the grinding process is now locked in with little to no mess.The ceramic dosing cup is also very well made and feels solid and balanced in the hand. It makes measuring and transferring beans into the grinder quick and clean, especially if you single-dose your coffee.Everything in the kit feels high quality and thoughtfully designed, and it looks great next to the rest of my espresso gear.Overall, this set helped clean up my grinding process and improved my workflow significantly. If you’re dealing with static from freshly roasted beans or just want a cleaner, more consistent setup, this is an excellent accessory set. Highly recommended for home baristas.
Decent but rusting
It's decent enough quality, but the metal insert is starting to rust. How am I supposed to clean it if it I can't get the insert wet?
Breville-Compatible Declutter Solution
We bought this station for our Breville expresso maker to declutter our countertop. Everything fit perfectly. It's sturdy, good quality, heavy, and beautifully designed. We would buy again.
Worth the weight. ;)
So far so good. Getting the double touch to activate the change in mode was a bit tricky to get it just right. It's two very quick taps by the way, not two spaced pushes.
Quite happy with this
The wood base is nice quality and the tubes have enough capacity to hold 18g of medium roast beans, so this is perfect to streamline my morning with an XBloom. The insides of the tubes taper a bit at the top to allow for the threads. This isn’t ideal, but a little shake shake easily takes care of getting the beans in and out. Honestly, these things would be better made shorter and wider but they wouldn’t be as cool-looking.
Looks good, works, but static retention is a thing.
Looks good, solid construction, but retention is annoying. A lot of grounds static-cling to the lid and interior, also causing them to not fall from the shaker easily without “ringing the bell” violently. It forces me to use a brush to get all the retained grounds into my basket, which means puck prep takes longer.All in all the shaker does what it’s supposed to do, but the static retention SUCKS. Notably, I do still use a WDT to comb the top of the grounds before settling and tamping, since they’re not falling consistently from the shaker into the basket.
Espresso disk
does what is expected but not sure if it really makes a difference with or without disk?
Looks amazing, really poorly designed
Like the title says, it looks and feels amazing right out of the box. But noticed even before making its first espresso shot that the handle was loose. I went to tighten it and I guess it stipped out the wood? I’m not sure who in the design department thought it would hold??? I’m going to have to either return it or fix the companies mistake.I’d definitely stay clear of this one until they come up with a better design.
Satisfying to use high quality (Fellow ES1)
Using with a Fellow ES1. Oversize fits perfectly. Comes with 25# spring installed. 20 and 30 lb springs included. I changed mine out with the 30# spring. Very simple to do. Looks great and tamps perfectly. Very satisfying consecutive rings. Quality is very nice.
