Know before you buy
This set is designed for 54mm portafilter baskets, which are standard for many home machines like Breville or Sage models. We recommend measuring the inner diameter of your portafilter basket to ensure a precise fit before purchasing.
The distribution tool levels the coffee grounds in the basket to prevent channeling, while the tamper compresses the bed to create consistent resistance. Using both ensures an even extraction and a more balanced espresso shot.
A flat base is generally preferred for home use because it creates a perfectly level puck, which is essential for uniform water flow. It is easier to master and provides more consistent results across different coffee roasts.
The set weighs 0.5kg (1.10lb), providing enough heft to apply firm, even pressure without requiring excessive force. The combination of a stainless steel base and an aluminum handle offers a balanced, durable feel during use.
The stainless steel and aluminum construction is best cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth after use. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, as harsh detergents can dull the finish of the aluminum handle over time.
