Does it come with any accessories? If not, recommendations that you use frequently? I've never made espresso and do not know what is needed!

comes with everything that is needed on the expresso side. The coffee side needs filters. Of course, coffee/expresso of your choice. I'm very happy with it.

It comes with all the parts you need to make espresso, but if you want to make lattes you might want to buy a stainless steel cup for the milk frother. It will work with other cups, but milk tends to froth better in a cold stainless steel cup.

You have to use the Nespresso's coffee pods! I have to tell you that this is Fabulous machine! I watch for the specials that they have & free shipping from time to time. That's when I stock up. The Nespresso machine & coffee are a real treat for me now that I've found my favorite flavors. I hope this helps! It is also so much easier to clean than older styles of espresso makers! I know some people may be thinking of the Keurig capsules which you can use your own coffee for that machine & they say they would rather buy them already filled.

Not because there was at the time of purchase the machine with the milk tank, so I bought it anyway to buy the accessory after. Why not have liked this machine gave it to my sister and bought a DeLonghi Compact Automatic Cappuccino, Latte and Espresso Machine, Silver.I am pleased with this now.

I have no idea what the Espresso coffee maker was made of and I do not understand the question; it suggests you should go out and get a stainless steel kettle. But this Espresso maker worked fine for 18 months, dis everything asked. After 18 months it failed...the thermostat gave up the ghost and it was more to repair than the new one cost. So...it was my fault...I kept forgetting to turn the heating element off after I had poured the coffee!!! Treated that abdly by a careless bachelor, 18 months was pretty good, I'd say.

We bought a separate tamper as well to use for our espresso making. It's nothing fancy but does the job well. RSVP Terry's Tamper for Espresso We use the 50mm side (smaller side) and it works great!

Honestly, the only way you're going to get a good cup of espresso and get a nice puck to pop out when you're done is to use a good burr grinder. Blade grinders will slice the beans unevenly and not produce a good cup o' espresso. I picked up a Breville Smart Grinder along with this machine and have been enjoying perfect shots of espresso every time. Trust me...it's well worth the investment.

No and do not use one with this pot. The espresso must be loose or it will leak!

Hi Joseph... You ask an excellent question. As an 'old-school' beatnik when it comes to Espresso, I have usually been able to secure funnels or stainless steel baskets to my other Italian espresso makers ...but..this one no. I have not yet needed to try to. I only use this one when I have extra guests or a dinner party. I prefer the quality of the good ol daily use of the no frills ones from Italy. Check out an Italian Supplier on the internet or Chefs suppliers in the U.S. Hope this helps ..Caío~gabríell

I think that you do not need any extra with this device, just put your coffee, attach to the machine and voila. This is my second device, as my original one broke sometimes ago. It's exact copy.

We haven't used it for espresso, but the grinder is metal. According to this site: http://cupandbrew.com/pages/buying-guide-coffee-and-espresso-grinders , you'd want a ceramic one.

Not having an espresso machine I don't know. It is recommended to use either a coffee press or a coffee maker with a gold filter. You could certainly try.

Accessories. It does not come with the machine. That is a separate purchase. I use a NuBrilliance Machine.

No built in grinder.But unlike another response, I have enjoyed this machine immensely. I'm not a daily user but it's definitely hot and the espresso quality depends a lot on your bean choice.

Either you buy a good grinder and make your own espresso with whole beans or you buy already ground espresso. I don't think you can use pods. Go to Krups website and look at their specs for the model you want along with user videos on YouTube.

no the machine does not currently come with this type of accessory. I am not familiar with whether or not Nespresso is planning on releasing this type of add on, or if they carry it separately.

This model comes with everything except the coffee grinds. Make sure to use espresso grind as small coffee grinds will not work with this unit.
