Espresso gear, edited down.
A short catalog for the home espresso bar, picked and packed in Atlanta.
See the catalogWhy this shop exists
I got into espresso on a friend's Breville and wanted to pull a good shot on purpose. Espresso rewards data and method: weigh what goes in, weigh what comes out, change one thing, taste, repeat.
Shops were either niche, covering one corner, or huge with no opinion. Club 36.0 opened in July 2026 to sit between them: the best few things for the home bar, each there for a reason and restocked when you want another.
Why 36.0
Eighteen grams in, thirty-six grams out: the ratio a repeatable double is dialled against. The .0 is the point. Weigh both ends, every time, so the next shot is better on purpose, not by luck.
How things get picked
- What I stock in Atlanta is used on my own bar first and stays only while it earns the spot.
- The test is efficiency: if a tool adds a step without a better shot, it goes.
- I watch what sells. I have listed grinders, none has sold, so none is featured.
- No broad catalog, no hype, no countdowns.
Who makes it
- KomorebiHandmade stoneware from Chef's Tableware in Atlanta. No two glazes match. Our most-bought item.
- KRUVEEarth espresso cups, as an approved KRUVE reseller at KRUVE's price.
- notNeutralVero glasses, the ones I drink from at home.
- IMS and VSTPrecision baskets from Italy and Boston, plus IMS puck and shower screens, for more even extraction.
- Gaggia Classic Pro/Evo partsDrip trays, steam tips, knobs and light kits from a small parts maker.
ARO WDT tools ship from the maker within the US. The product page says so; Shipping has the times.

Who is here
I'm Chris Reynolds. I grew up outside Atlanta and it is home: good bars, good restaurants, good coffee, and the world's busiest airport.
Club 36.0 is a one-person shop. I choose what goes in, pack what ships from here, and answer support@club36espresso.com myself, so a fit question or a chipped cup reaches the person who fixes it.
