If you buy that machine, I’d buy some cheap scales to get you going. Eg

That’s what I use, as do a few others in the thread. Does the job.
You’ll manage with pre ground coffee for a while too (and it’ll give you a good point of reference once you do get a grinder, which is likely to be another outlay).
A cheap WDT for “stirring” the coffee grounds before tamping makes a big difference too.

Add 18g 58mm ridge less VST basket to the list, I’d get one before I’d get a bottomless portafilter.

Don’t know what tamper you get with that machine but a competition (58.4mm) is a nice addition too.
