Similarly to the above, this will depend on whether you can get decent replacement shower screens for your particular machine, you can for most, but whether you'll actually find much of an improvement in the shot is unlikely, I'd say. You may find a difference, but whether it's necessarily an improvement, is hard to say. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that changing to an IMS or VST competition basket, for example, isn't necessarily going to give you better tasting espresso, just different, and they usually allow you to grind finer, so it's something you may want to try, but it's not crucial. Tamping mats simply save your kitchen worktop from being marked and save you from getting into bother with your other half. You don't have to get something that is sold as a tamping mat, any kind of mat will do, a drinks coaster will work – I sometimes use hockey pucks as tampers.

As with upgrading the basket, upgrading the shower screen is a very simple and very inexpensive upgrade, so if you're intrigued, try it and see, you can always swap back. It's not as if adding WDT to your workflow is going to take your espresso from zero to hero, in fact, I regularly do tasting with and without WDT, and most of the time I can't actually detect the difference, that's not to say there isn't one, but I think it's often very small. In my humble opinion, while WDT isn't a huge thing, it won't harm your espresso, it may help it, and it'll probably help with consistency (in terms of consistently slightly reducing channeling), and it's quite a fun thing to do, I find, so I say why not. OK so now we're probably getting into the stuff most people came here to find out, thinking "Do I really need a WDT tool, an RDT spray bottle, an OEM leveler" and so on, and the answer for most of these is not necessarily. You could knock your pucks into any container, so a knock box isn't crucial, but it's easier and quieter than most alternatives.
