Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed for Lelit machines using a 58mm group head. While it may physically fit other E61-style 58mm machines, compatibility can vary based on the orientation of the locking lugs, so we recommend verifying your machine's specific portafilter lug alignment.
A bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to see the extraction in real-time. This visual feedback makes it easy to spot issues like channeling or uneven distribution, helping you refine your puck preparation technique.
Yes, the handle is threaded and can be unscrewed from the stainless steel head. This makes it easy to clean or replace if you decide to customize your setup in the future.
Yes, it includes a high-capacity double-dose filter basket designed to hold between 18 and 21 grams of coffee grounds. This is a standard size for modern, cafe-style double shots.
Because bottomless portafilters provide less resistance than spouted versions, you may notice that your shots pull slightly faster. You might need to adjust your grinder to a finer setting to achieve your desired extraction time and flavor profile.
