Know before you buy
The PorcuPress is designed specifically for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. As long as your machine uses a standard 58mm group head, it will be compatible.
The integrated depth gauge allows you to set a consistent penetration depth for the needles every time you use it. This ensures repeatable results and prevents you from over-compressing or disturbing the coffee bed too deeply.
The offset square pattern can be rotated 180 degrees, which allows you to create a secondary, denser perforation grid. This is useful if you want to further minimize channeling or experiment with different extraction profiles.
No, the PorcuPress is an extraction tool meant to be used after your initial distribution but before or during your tamping process. It is designed to prepare the puck for a more even extraction, not to compress the coffee grounds.
B-Stock units are functionally identical to the standard versions but feature minor cosmetic blemishes. They are a great choice if you prioritize performance over a flawless aesthetic finish.
The strong magnets help secure the tool to your portafilter or metal surfaces, keeping it stable during use. This prevents the tool from slipping while you are aligning it with your coffee puck.
