Know before you buy
You should select the size that matches the diameter of your portafilter basket. The IKAPE Blind Shaker is available in 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm options to ensure a precise fit for most standard home espresso machines.
Yes, the integrated lever helps break up clumps in your coffee grounds before they hit the portafilter. This promotes a more uniform bed of coffee, which reduces channeling and leads to a more consistent extraction.
The shaker features a wide 80mm mouth designed to catch grounds from most commercial and home grinders. As long as your grinder has enough clearance for the height of the cup, it should integrate easily into your workflow.
The magnetic base is designed to provide a secure connection to your portafilter, preventing accidental tipping or spills during the transfer process. It offers enough stability to keep the shaker upright while you dose your grounds.
The shaker is made from aluminum alloy with a smooth inner wall that resists coffee residue. You can easily wipe it out with a dry cloth or a soft brush, and it is simple to rinse if you prefer a deeper clean.
