Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed for Gaggia espresso machines that use a standard 58mm group head, such as the Gaggia Classic and Gaggia Classic Pro.
A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time, which helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping. It also provides more clearance for taller cups and generally results in a richer crema.
Yes, the handle is designed to be removable. This makes it easy to disassemble the unit for a thorough deep clean or to swap the handle if you choose to customize your setup.
Yes, it includes a 58mm food-grade stainless steel filter basket, so you can start brewing immediately without needing to purchase additional components.
Because the bottom is open, any channeling or uneven distribution will cause espresso to spray outward rather than flowing into the cup. While this requires a more precise puck preparation, it is an excellent tool for improving your barista technique.
The portafilter body is made from durable, food-grade stainless steel that is resistant to rust and oxidation, while the handle is crafted from premium solid walnut wood.
