The bottomless design exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to observe the extraction process in real-time. This visual feedback helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping, making it easier to refine your technique for a better shot.
Yes, the handle is removable and utilizes an M10 thread connection. This makes it easy to detach for cleaning or to swap out with other M10-compatible handles if you want to customize the look of your setup.
Yes, it includes a filter basket with an 18g capacity, which is standard for pulling double shots. You can also use your existing 54mm baskets if you prefer.
