Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed for 58mm group heads, including most E61 style machines. Please verify that your machine specifically uses a 58mm portafilter before purchasing.
A bottomless portafilter allows you to see the espresso as it leaves the basket, which is the best way to diagnose issues like channeling or uneven tamping. It provides immediate visual feedback so you can adjust your grind and distribution technique for a better shot.
Yes, it includes a high-quality 58mm IMS stainless steel basket. It is designed to hold between 18 and 21 grams of coffee.
To keep the wood in good condition, avoid soaking the portafilter in water or running it through the dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain its finish.
If your puck preparation is uneven, you may experience some spraying or 'spurting' during extraction. This is actually a helpful indicator that your grind size or distribution needs refinement, and as your technique improves, the extraction will become clean and centered.
