Know before you buy
The zeroHero Thor is designed as a universal countertop station, but it is best suited for standard 58mm portafilters. We recommend checking your portafilter diameter to ensure a secure fit within the cradle.
The station features a durable, sleek black finish that is resistant to typical wear and tear. However, as it is made of metal, we recommend wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth rather than using abrasive scrubbers to maintain the finish.
This unit is not dishwasher safe. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
Yes, the station is designed for stability during the tamping process. Its weighted aluminum construction helps it stay firmly in place on your countertop while you apply pressure.
