Know before you buy
This handle uses a standard M10x1.5mm thread. As long as your existing portafilter head utilizes this common threading, it should be compatible.
The primary difference is tactile and aesthetic. Delrin offers a lightweight, matte finish that stays cool to the touch, while the aluminum and stainless steel end caps add weight and a more premium, weighted feel to your portafilter.
Yes, the handle weighs 174.1g on its own, which can shift the center of gravity compared to standard plastic handles. This added weight often provides a more stable, substantial feel when locking the portafilter into the group head.
No, this handle is specifically designed for non-pressurized portafilter setups. It is intended for enthusiasts looking to upgrade their professional-style equipment.
To keep the metal components looking their best, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch the polished stainless steel or strip the anodized aluminum finish.
