Know before you buy
The PM.263 is designed specifically for Ascaso espresso machines. Please verify your machine's group head compatibility before purchasing, as portafilters are generally not universal across different brands.
The double spout configuration is engineered to split a single dose into two separate streams. This is ideal for pulling two shots simultaneously or for ensuring a balanced, even flow into a single wider cup.
Yes, because the handle is made of natural walnut, it should be hand-washed only. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to crack or lose its finish over time.
This portafilter is specifically designed for double-shot baskets. While it may physically hold a single-shot basket, the double spout design is optimized for the volume and flow rate of a double shot.
The walnut handle provides a balanced, ergonomic feel that is slightly lighter than standard plastic or metal handles. It offers a comfortable, tactile grip that makes locking the portafilter into the group head feel more precise.
