Know before you buy
No, this adapter is specifically engineered for the 49mm CT2 espresso machine platform. It will not fit other 49mm machines that do not share the same group head design.
Yes, moving to a 58mm basket often changes the puck depth and flow dynamics compared to a standard 49mm basket. You will likely need to adjust your grind size and potentially your dose to achieve the same extraction quality.
Yes, the adapter is designed to accommodate standard 58mm filter baskets, allowing you to use high-end precision baskets from various manufacturers with your CT2 machine.
This is a non-pressurized portafilter. It is designed for enthusiasts who want full control over their extraction variables, so you will need a high-quality burr grinder to get the best results.
Because the adapter adds a layer of material between the group head and the basket, it may slightly alter thermal mass. We recommend preheating the portafilter thoroughly to ensure consistent extraction temperatures.
