Know before you buy
Yes, the Lelit Coffee Leveler is designed for 58mm portafilters. With a diameter of 58.55mm, it provides a precise fit that helps minimize grounds left on the sidewalls of your basket.
You can adjust the depth by unscrewing the top section of the tool to loosen the locking mechanism. Once adjusted to your desired depth for your specific dose, simply tighten it back down to lock the setting in place.
No, this tool is designed to distribute the coffee grounds evenly across the basket before tamping. You should still use a tamper afterward to compress the puck and create the necessary resistance for proper extraction.
By creating a perfectly flat and even bed of coffee, the leveler prevents 'channeling,' where water finds the path of least resistance through the puck. This ensures even water flow, which leads to a more balanced and consistent flavor profile in every shot.
It is compatible with most espresso machines that use a standard 58mm portafilter basket. If you are unsure of your machine's specific basket size, we recommend measuring the internal diameter of your portafilter basket before purchasing.
