Skip the guesswork. Start pulling café-quality espresso this week.
Machine and grinder, matched and boxed together by the team who service them.
TL;DR: A coffee machine and grinder bundle is a matched espresso machine and grinder sold as one package, like the Gaggia Classic E24 with Timemore Bricks 01S.
Buying separately means guessing whether machine and grinder suit each other. A coffee machine and grinder bundle removes that guess: our coffee packages pair a machine we have tested with a grinder we know suits it, from the Gaggia Classic E24 through the Rancilio Silvia to the La Marzocco Linea Micra and Linea Mini with the Pico. Every package ships with a free 250g resealable valve coffee bag and a scale so your first shot is dialled in, not guessed.
Why the grinder decides what the machine can do
The most common mistake we see in home espresso is a good machine paired with a grinder that cannot feed it. Scott Rao puts it plainly in The Professional Barista's Handbook: invest in the best grinder you can afford, even if that means a cheaper espresso machine, because no machine can compensate for clumps, excess fines or dull burrs. That logic drives every pairing here. The Ceado Life X we bundle with the Gaggia Classic E24 and the Rancilio Silvia E V6 uses a blind burr system with dual dosing modes and minimal retention, and ships with both a standard hopper and a single-dose kit with bellows, funnel and dosing cup. The Timemore Bricks 01S and La Marzocco Pico are single-dose by design.
What we have learned from servicing these machines
Coffee Parts is an authorised retailer for Gaggia, Rancilio, La Marzocco and Fellow, and we have been supplying the spare parts for the Gaggia Classic and Rancilio Silvia families since 1999. Two things wear machines out early: unfiltered water and inconsistent grind. Gaggia's own guidance for the Classic E24 says a burr mill beats a blade mill because blades release too much powder and grind unevenly, and that coffee should be ground just before use and stored airtight. Our free bag arrives in one-way valve coffee bean packaging for exactly that reason. Pair machine and grinder properly from day one and both are easier to live with.
Which package fits your kitchen
Just starting out. The Gaggia Classic E24 packages are the easiest entry point. Depending on the bundle you pick it comes with a Timemore Bricks 01S, a Ceado Life X or the AB conical burr grinder, and the AB Grinder sets add a double portafilter, extra baskets, a knocking tube and two milk jugs. The Fellow Espresso Series 1 with the Opus 2 conical burr grinder is the other beginner-friendly route: Fellow's guided approach to espresso is built to make the process easier to understand without taking control away from you, and it comes in Black, Cherry Red with Walnut, and Sesame with Maple finishes.
Building a daily ritual. The Rancilio Silvia E V6 packages, paired with the Ceado Life X, the Eureka Mignon Specialita 55E or the Timemore Bricks 01S, are where most serious home baristas land. The Silvia's 58mm commercial portafilter and steam wand ask more of you than the Gaggia does, and reward the effort once your dose and grind are dialled in. The El Rocio Manus S package sits in the same tier.
Not compromising. The Rancilio Silvia PRO X with its matched Stile grinder, and the La Marzocco Linea Micra and Linea Mini with the La Marzocco Pico, sit at the top of this range. We sell these to people who have owned a Gaggia or a Silvia and know what they are upgrading for: stability, build quality and a group that does not drift. The Linea Mini packages come in White, Black, Blue, Red and Yellow; the Micra in Black and White.
Questions worth asking before you buy
Single-dose or hopper? Most grinders here (Ceado Life X, Timemore Bricks 01S, La Marzocco Pico) work single-dose, weighing each shot in fresh. Rao's traditional Italian reference points are around 7 grams for a single and 14 grams for a double; a single-dose grinder makes those numbers repeatable.
Tank or plumbed? Some machines in this range offer a plumb-in option while others run from an internal tank; check the individual product page before you commit to a spot on the bench. How much space? The Linea Mini and Linea Micra are compact by commercial standards but still need clearance for the portafilter and steam wand.

If you would rather build your own combination with a grinder you already own, the machines in our coffee machines range are sold separately too.
La Marzocco Linea machines have been the official espresso machine across multiple World Barista Championship cycles, and Anthony Douglas, who won the 2022 World Barista Championship on home soil at MICE in Melbourne, is a La Marzocco Global Ambassador. The Linea Micra and Linea Mini packages here share that engineering lineage. Anthony has been a Coffee Parts customer for years, and we are an authorised La Marzocco retailer.
Every package already includes a matched grinder, a free 250g coffee bag and a coffee scale, so the machine-plus-grinder decision is made. What most people forget is water. Scale build-up is the most common reason a home espresso machine's boiler fails, and manufacturer warranty does not cover scale damage. Coffee Parts is an Australian distributor of BWT, and a simple inline water filter is the cheapest insurance you can buy for any machine in this range. Round out the bench with a tamper sized to your portafilter and a milk jug if steaming is part of your routine; the AB Grinder sets already include two jugs. If you want a second coffee scale for the brew bar, we stock those too.
My dad, Dom, started Coffee Parts in 1999 because he could not get parts for his own Faema E61 and decided to supply them himself. These packages exist for the same reason we do everything else here: so you do not have to guess. I do not put a grinder next to a machine on this page unless I would put it in my own kitchen. The Gaggia and Rancilio packages are the ones I recommend to friends starting out. The Linea Micra is what I would buy if I were upgrading tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes in a Coffee Parts coffee machine and grinder bundle?
+
Every bundle on this page includes an espresso machine, a matched grinder, a free 250g bag of coffee in a resealable valve bag and a coffee scale. Some sets add more: the Gaggia Classic E24 / AB Grinder packages include a complete double portafilter, single, double and pressurised baskets, a Dreamfarm Grindenstein knocking tube and 400ml and 600ml milk jugs.
Should I get an espresso machine with a built-in grinder instead?
+
Built-in grinders are convenient, but they tie the life of the grinder to the life of the machine and are usually the weaker half. A separate grinder can be upgraded or serviced on its own, and Scott Rao's advice in The Professional Barista's Handbook is to put money into the grinder first. Our packages give you the convenience of one decision without the compromise.
Which package suits someone who has never made espresso at home?
+
The Gaggia Classic E24 packages, with a Timemore Bricks 01S, Ceado Life X or AB conical burr grinder, are the ones we recommend most often to first-time home baristas. The Fellow Espresso Series 1 with the Opus 2 is the other beginner-friendly option, with a guided approach designed to make the process easier to understand.
What is the difference between the Rancilio Silvia E V6 and the PRO X?
+
The Silvia E V6 is the long-running benchmark home machine, with a 58mm commercial portafilter and steam wand, and we pair it with the Ceado Life X, Eureka Specialita 55E or Timemore Bricks 01S. The Silvia PRO X is Rancilio's more advanced model and comes bundled with Rancilio's own Stile grinder for tighter dose control.
Do I need a water filter for these packages?
+
We recommend one. Scale build-up is the most common reason a home espresso machine's boiler fails, and manufacturer warranties do not cover scale damage. Coffee Parts is an Australian distributor of BWT, and a basic inline filter protects the machine from the first shot.
Can the La Marzocco Linea Micra and Linea Mini be plumbed in?
+
It depends on the model and configuration. Certain La Marzocco and Rancilio machines in this range offer a plumb-in option while others run from an internal tank. Check the individual product page for the specific water setup, or ask us before you order.
Are spare parts and warranty support available after I buy?
+
Yes. Each machine carries its manufacturer's Australian warranty, and Coffee Parts is an authorised retailer for Gaggia, Rancilio, La Marzocco and Fellow. We stock spare parts for the Gaggia Classic, Rancilio Silvia and Silvia PRO X, and the La Marzocco Linea Micra, Linea Mini and Pico, and we run a service team in Sydney.
