Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed specifically for Breville machines that use a 54mm group head, including the Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino, Bambino Plus, Infuser, and Duo-Temp Pro.
A bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to watch the espresso flow in real-time. This visual feedback is essential for identifying issues like channeling or uneven tamping, helping you refine your technique for a better-tasting shot.
It comes ready to use with an included 18-21g double shot filter basket. You can also use your existing 54mm baskets if you prefer a different capacity.
The 15° tilt is an ergonomic feature that keeps the portafilter level when you set it on a flat surface for tamping. This helps ensure a perfectly even coffee bed, which is crucial for consistent extractions.
If your grind size, dose, or tamping technique is off, you may experience some spraying or 'spurting' during extraction. While this can be messy, it is a helpful diagnostic tool that indicates exactly where your technique needs adjustment.
