Know before you buy
This 54mm portafilter is compatible with most standard Breville machines, including the Barista Express, Pro, Touch, and Bambino series. Please note that it is not compatible with the Oracle or Dual Boiler models.
A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time. This visibility helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping, allowing you to refine your technique for a more balanced shot.
Yes, it includes a double shot basket, so you are ready to start brewing immediately upon arrival.
Because the espresso flows directly from the basket without passing through spouts, any channeling or uneven distribution can cause minor spraying. It is a great tool for learning, but be prepared to keep a cloth nearby while you dial in your grind size.
The handle is securely attached for durability during daily use. We recommend cleaning the portafilter head with warm water and mild detergent, avoiding the dishwasher to preserve the finish.
