Cafelat Barista AccessoriesCafelat Barista Accessories

Based in Copenhagen, Cafelat's Designer Karina Mencke, has been able to give a fresh and professional perspective on existing products as well as work with them to develop completely new items that have allowed Cafelat to elevate the standard in industry.
By working close with them, Karina produced a series of items with great commercial appeal but also items that assist the barista or home user to get the most from their coffee.

Paul Pratt, the owner of Cafelat, comments "Having Karina on board from the very beginning of Cafelat meant that they were able to quickly establish a very clear and consistent product outlook that is apparent in each item she has designed - in fact her designs are Cafelat. After an initial brief was given, Karina went away and was able to come back with many concepts and ideas that were so totally fresh and unique yet remained focused on the prime objective - to have each and every product be the best it could be in the industry and still be a cohesive family of products with the distinct Cafelat style."
Cafelat Espress, Cappuccino, and Latte CupsCafelat Espress, Cappuccino, and Latte Cups
Cafelat now has 3 great cups for you to enjoy your coffee from. Like their milk pitchers, the Cafelat cup design came very naturally, however it took a long time before they were satisfied that the cup was the best that it could possibly be.  The result is a cup that every barista or home consumer would be proud to use.

Made from the only the highest grade porcelain, their unique cups have all those characteristics to love in a great cup; thick side walls, a very heavy feeling in the hand and of course a rounded inside bottom.  Each cup is accompanied by its own saucer. Please note that these cups are not mass produced, each cup is finished by hand and the handles are also applied by hand. Minor differences with each handle are to be expected and make each cup unique.

There are 3 sizes available.  Espresso 70ml (just over 2oz) perfect for singles or tight doubles. Cappuccino 200ml (just over 6.5 oz) which is great for a cappuccino or Paul’s favorite 2 tight ristretto shots with milk. The largest cup is 300ml (10oz), it's called it the Latte cup, but really it is a just a great size for those that enjoy larger milk volumes. [more]

Cafelat Knock BoxesCafelat Knock Boxes
The Tubbi Knockbox is the perfect accessory for the home barista to help dispose of espresso pucks. It was over a year in development and went through many prototypes before this final brilliant, yet very simple design was finalized.

The box is made of ABS plastic and is extremely tough. The food safe rubber bar is reinforced with stainless steel, just like the classic knockbox, the rubber bar absorbs the energy from the portafilter to minimize the noise.

There is a non-slip rubber pad on the bottom that prevents it moving and reduces noise while being used.

The knockbox may be small but it can comfortably hold 15 double pucks of coffee before it needs emptying. To empty just lift the rubber bar out and discard the coffee. The plastic tub is dishwasher safe but a simple rise with a little detergent works every time.

The Cafelat Knockbox, simply put is a larger version of the Tubbi in a different shape.  The design is extremely functional and looks great.

The box is about the same size as the original Classic Knockbox and can easily hold 50 double pucks before it needs emptying. This knockbox is for the serious home barista or for commercial use in a coffee bar. [more]

Cafelat Drop 58 & 53 mm TampersCafelat Drop 58 & 53 mm Tampers

Cafelat Pillar 58 & 53 mm TampersCafelat Pillar 58 & 53 mm Tampers
The Pillar tamper was one of Cafelat's first designs in the project. It not only looks funky but has a really great feel in the hand. The vertical ridges provide an easy grip which is perfect for the final polishing spin of the tamper.

Available in 58 & 53 mm slight convex bottom ONLY at this time. [more]

Bumper Tamper HolderBumper Tamper Holder
This tamper holder is included when you purchase a Bumper Tamper. But there has been such an interest in purchasing the holder separately, that we decided to add it to our product offering. Many people who already have a nice tamper simply want a nice holder to put it in, to protect both the bottom of their tamper and their expensive, granite counter tops. The holder comes in one size which accommodates tampers that are 58 mm or smaller. [more]

Cafelat Steaming PitchersCafelat Steaming Pitchers
The Cafelat milk pitchers were one of our biggest challenges. The unique design Karina came up with uses our signature Cafelat outline as seen on our cups, glassware and Cafelat Knock box.  The difficult part was in the small details that make the milk pitcher great for the barista to use, namely the spout and the handle.

Made from extra thick stainless steel our pitchers have a satin brushed finish and a raised pour spout to help with latter art.  The thick walls of the pitcher make it strong and heavy, perfect for the final swirl and for knocking out those air bubbles if you tap in on the counter top.

Available in 13 & 23 ounce ONLY at this time. [more]

Cafelat Tamping Mats Flat and Corner StyleCafelat Tamping Mats Flat and Corner Style
Cafelat currently has 2 different tamping mats to offer – the flat and their own unique corner mat. Tamping mats are an essential must-have accessory for every barista, be it in a busy commercial setting or at home.

Sure you can buy a flat square of rubber in any hardware shop that would achieve a lot of the aims of the Cafelat mats, but more often than not these are smelly old bits of rubber that look awful. Their mats were tested for a 12 month period. They proved to be extremely durability, had no odor or taste, and thanks to Karina they look amazing. [more]

Cafelat Tamping StandCafelat Tamping Stand
Since the original bumper stand was launched in 2006, tamping stands have become more and more popular. Once they were seen as quirky training tools to help promote level tamping with single spouts or bottomless portafilters, but now they are gaining acceptance in full-time use in cafes and bars around the world.

The Cafelat tamping stand builds upon the original bumper stand and organizes it into a single compact unit.  The frame inside is stainless steel and then coated with a food grade rubber. You may tamp from the front with a regular single or double portafilter or use a bottomless portafilter by turning it around.  The non-slip base provides a very stable tamping platform. [more]

Cafelat Group Cleaning BrushCafelat Group Cleaning Brush
Think your group is clean? Think again!

Over the years Paul has rebuilt dozens of machines, that equals hundreds of groups. They all had one thing in common, the groups were really dirty up around the gasket area and the bayonet ring. Keeping your group clean is a vital component to being able to produce coffee the way the roaster intended. Regular cleaning brushes won't clean up there so Paul and Karina came up with the Cafelat Group Cleaning Brush that really works. [more]
