Coffee & Barista Accessories

Barista accessories are the tools and consumables that sit alongside your espresso machine rather than inside it. That covers tampers, knock-out tubes, font kits, portafilter stands, cleaning tablets and machine parts. They are the items your barista picks up dozens of times a service, so quality and fit matter as much as they do for the machine itself.

The range covers tampers in multiple handle and base sizes, knock-out waste tubes, Zip font kits in finishes including gunmetal, brushed rose gold, matte black and brushed gold, replacement motor parts from Heinzelmann, and cleaning solutions from NAB Clean. Bevande and Lusso round out the accessories side for service and presentation.

A flat base is the most common choice for consistent puck density across a standard basket. A convex base suits baristas who prefer a slight dome to the puck before extraction. Both styles are available here in commercial-grade builds. Your best guide is the basket geometry your machine uses and the technique your barista team already trains on.

Tamper diameter must match the internal diameter of your basket closely — a loose fit lets grounds escape around the edge and ruins extraction. Check the basket manufacturer's spec, then cross-reference with the tamper listings here. The ST-008, ST-012 and ST-030 tampers in this range cover the most common commercial basket sizes. When in doubt, measure your basket before ordering.

Zip font kits are designed as stand-alone units that mount on your bench surface and connect to a Zip water system. They do not require a built-in cavity, but you will need a plumber or qualified installer to run the water line and confirm the connection suits your existing Zip unit. Check the specific font kit model against your Zip system model before purchase.

The font kits stocked here come in gunmetal, brushed rose gold, matte black and brushed gold. All are surface finishes over a commercial-grade housing, so durability is comparable across the range. The choice is largely aesthetic — match the finish to your bench hardware or bar theme. Avoid abrasive cleaners on any of the metallic finishes to keep them looking sharp.

Wipe tampers down with a damp cloth after each use and dry thoroughly to prevent coffee oil build-up on the base. Knock-out tubes collect spent puck debris and should be emptied and rinsed regularly — at minimum once per service. NAB Clean products stocked in this range are formulated for coffee equipment and help break down oils without damaging metal or plastic components.

Tamper bases can show wear after extended use, particularly if dropped repeatedly on hard surfaces. Knock-out tubes are durable but the rubber knock bar degrades over time and is worth inspecting every few months. Replacement motor parts for Heinzelmann units should be swapped at the first sign of performance drop rather than waiting for a full failure mid-service.

Yes. Chefs Depot is set up for mixed orders, so you can add tampers, cleaning products and font kits to the same cart as benchtop equipment or refrigeration. Everything ships Australia-wide from the one order. Members save off RRP across the full cart, which makes topping up small accessories alongside a larger purchase genuinely worthwhile.

Pricing varies across the range — consumables and tampers sit at the lower end, while font kits and motor components reflect their build complexity. Members save off RRP on every item in this category. Log in or sign up before checkout to make sure your member pricing is applied before you confirm the order.
