What comes in the espresso machine box?

A checklist for comparing the total setup before buying extras.

Start with the exact model

Find the manufacturer’s included-accessories list and compare it with the retailer’s listing. The same product family may have different model codes or bundled accessories. Check whether an advertised item is included, sold separately or part of a temporary promotion.

Machine checklist

• Portafilter and compatible one- and two-cup baskets.
• Tamper, coffee scoop and a milk jug, if needed.
• Cleaning tool, cleaning supplies and water filter, if applicable.
• Water tank, drip tray, power specifications and instruction manual.

Grinder checklist

Check whether the grinder includes a grounds container or dosing cup and any adapter needed for your workflow. Do not assume a grinder is bundled with an espresso machine unless the seller clearly lists it.

One documented example

De’Longhi lists a portafilter, tamper, one- and two-cup filters and measuring spoon for the Stilosa EC260BK. Check the current manufacturer page and the actual seller listing before purchase. Included items may change.
