Know before you buy
This set is specifically designed for 53.5mm portafilters. Please verify your portafilter basket diameter before purchasing, as it will not provide a proper fit for 51mm or 58mm systems.
The screen acts as a diffuser to distribute water evenly across the coffee bed. This helps prevent channeling and ensures that the water extracts flavor uniformly from all the grounds.
Yes, the screen will remain on top of the coffee puck after extraction. You can easily remove it by tapping the portafilter or using a small tool, then rinse it off for your next shot.
The dosing cup allows you to weigh and transfer your coffee grounds directly into the portafilter without spilling. It keeps your workspace clean and ensures you are using the exact dose required for your recipe.
Yes, 316 stainless steel is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. Simply rinse the screen and cup with warm water after use, or occasionally soak them in a coffee machine cleaner to remove stubborn oils.
Because the screen takes up a small amount of headspace in your basket, you may need to slightly adjust your dose or grind size to achieve the same extraction time. We recommend starting with a slightly lower dose and adjusting based on your flow rate.
