I've had my this setup for about 2 months and works well for daily espresso. Still learning things, but enjoying the capability of the GCP and for the most part the Encore.
Here's a list of the accessories:
Normcore bottomless portafilter with stock basket
Normcore pitcher
Normcore WDT
Normcore funnel
Normcore 1.7 puck screen
Normcore tamper
Cheap scale from Amazon

Looks like you have everything you need as a beginner like me. 😁
Two months in, I wouldn’t buy anything unless you think it’ll improve your workflow or the taste of your shots.
If your machine is not auto on, I recommend a smart switch so you can schedule it to turn on and warm up on its own, just make sure you buy one that can handle the load.
Love the table. Where is it from?
Seems youve got what you need, now continue practicing and enjoy the process !
I hope no one gets accupunctured with your needle wdt! Hahhaha
A WDT tool or Blind Shaker. And with both of those, it’s nice to have a magnetic tall portafilter ring, but one that goes outside and not into the bed of coffee. Normcore offers good ones.
one of my favorite setup pics of all time
minimalist but warm. simple but lacking nothing. also, full marks for neatness.
but what’s the question?
