How to choose the right accessory
-
Brand and model of the appliance: the most important information. You can find it on the label on the bottom or back. Many accessories are specific to a single series or model.
-
Original accessory code: if you are replacing a component you already have, look for the code printed on it or in the manual; this is the most direct way to find the exact spare part.
-
Compatibility between series: some manufacturers (like Kenwood) offer accessories compatible with multiple models in the same line; always check the list provided in the product sheet.
-
Original or compatible: original spare parts guarantee maximum mechanical and safety compatibility; certified compatible parts are a valid alternative, as long as they meet the same dimensional and material specifications.
Tips for caring for accessories
- Clean accessories after each use: some are dishwasher safe, while others require hand washing; always check the manufacturer's instructions.
- Store discs, tips and sharp accessories in dedicated bags or cases to avoid damage and prolong their lifespan.
- Regularly check the integrity of plastic and rubber accessories: cracks or deformities can compromise the appliance's performance.
- For coffee machine accessories (tampers, dispensers, cleaning discs), perform regular cleaning to prevent residue build-up that affects extraction quality.
Common problems and solutions
Accessory not attaching
Check compatibility with the exact model: even accessories from the same brand can have different fittings between series.
Reduced performance
A low-quality compatible accessory may not meet mechanical tolerances; if in doubt, opt for the original.
Deformed or broken plastic
Excessive heat (high-temperature dishwasher, sun exposure) is the most common cause; replace with an original spare part.
Ineffective coffee tamper
Ensure it is clean and that the diameter matches the portafilter in use; an uncalibrated tamper compromises extraction.
Quick FAQs
Are Kenwood accessories interchangeable between different models of food processors?
It depends on the series: some accessories from the Multipro range (FDM, FDP) are compatible with each other, while those from the Chef and Prospero lines have different fittings. Always check the compatibility list in the product sheet before purchasing.
Is the De'Longhi tamper compatible with all portafilters?
No: the diameter of the tamper must match the supplied portafilter. The 50 mm tamper is specific to La Specialista models; always check the internal diameter of your portafilter before purchasing.
Can I use compatible accessories instead of originals?
In many cases yes, as long as they meet the same dimensional and material specifications as the original. For accessories in contact with food or high-speed moving parts, it is preferable to opt for original components certified by the manufacturer.
