Know before you buy
The cup is specifically engineered for 58mm portafilters. While it may physically sit on smaller baskets, it is designed to provide a seamless, flush transfer for 58mm equipment and may not offer the same stability or fit for other sizes.
Yes, the anti-static coating significantly reduces the amount of coffee dust that clings to the interior walls. This ensures that nearly all of your ground coffee makes it into the portafilter, minimizing waste and keeping your workspace cleaner.
While it is optimized for the Mahlkönig Ek43, the cup is compatible with any grinder setup where the chute height and width accommodate a 92mm tall vessel. It is a versatile tool for any workflow that requires a clean transfer from grinder to basket.
The food-grade 304 stainless steel is durable and easy to clean by hand with warm water and mild soap. While it is robust, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the anti-static finish over time.
The dosing cup has a capacity of 100±5 grams. This is more than sufficient for standard double or triple espresso shots, allowing you to dose even the largest baskets without overflowing.
