What is included in the Meraki Espresso Upgrader Kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit contains six accessories: a calibrated tamper, 400 ml milk pitcher, WDT tool with stand, dosing funnel, espresso shot cup and espresso puck screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2. What is the total value of the kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeraki states a combined Canadian value of $290 CAD for the six included accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e3. Is the espresso machine included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Espresso Upgrader Kit contains accessories only. The Meraki Espresso Machine is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4. Is a grinder included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A coffee grinder is not included in the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5. Is an espresso scale included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit does not include a separate scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6. What is a WDT tool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWDT stands for Weiss Distribution Technique. The tool uses fine needles to break apart coffee clumps and redistribute grounds more evenly before tamping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e7. Do I still tamp after using the WDT tool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. WDT distributes the grounds, while tamping compresses the prepared coffee bed before brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e8. What does the dosing funnel do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dosing funnel helps keep ground coffee inside the basket while grinding, transferring or distributing coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e9. What does the puck screen do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA puck screen sits on top of the prepared coffee bed and can help spread incoming water across the surface while helping keep coffee residue away from the machine's shower screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e10. Do I need to use the puck screen for every shot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Espresso can be prepared without a puck screen. It is an optional step in the puck-preparation workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e11. What size is the milk pitcher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included milk frothing pitcher has a 400 ml capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e12. What drinks can I prepare with the pitcher?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pitcher can be used to texture milk for drinks such as cappuccino, flat white, cortado, macchiato and latte.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e13. What is the espresso shot cup used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides a dedicated vessel for collecting and transferring espresso and can be useful when preparing iced, layered or milk-based drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e14. Is the kit designed for the Meraki Espresso Machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The accessory set is designed to complement the Meraki espresso workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e15. Is the kit compatible with Meraki Gen 2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Meraki specifically promotes the Espresso Upgrader Kit alongside its current Gen 2 espresso machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e16. Can I use the accessories with another espresso machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome accessories can be used with other espresso machines, but dimensional compatibility should be confirmed. In particular, the dosing funnel and puck screen are intended for a 58 mm espresso workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e17. Does 58 mm compatibility mean every 58 mm basket is identical?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Basket dimensions, internal depth and available headspace can vary between manufacturers, so compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e18. How should I clean the puck screen?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse it after use and clean the mesh regularly to remove coffee oils and fine particles that can collect inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e19. How should I clean the WDT tool?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove loose coffee particles from the needles after use and store the tool on its stand once it is clean and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e20. Is this a good gift for an espresso enthusiast?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The boxed six-piece set covers several of the most common puck-preparation and milk-texturing tools used in a home espresso workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meraki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44942786265177,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/5889\/files\/mob.jpg?v=1789934512","url":"https:\/\/cafeliegeois.ca\/fr\/products\/meraki-espresso-upgrader-kit-6-piece-barista-accessory-set","provider":"Café Liégeois Canada Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
