E61 Portafilter

This portafilter is specifically designed for machines equipped with an E61 group head. If your machine uses a standard E61 group, this will fit; however, it is not compatible with machines using proprietary group heads like those found on Breville, Gaggia, or DeLonghi units.

A bottomless portafilter exposes the bottom of the filter basket, allowing you to watch the espresso flow in real-time. This visual feedback is the most effective way to identify channeling or uneven extraction, helping you adjust your grind size and tamping technique for a better shot.

Yes, the triple-shot basket is designed for a larger dose of coffee, typically ranging from 18 to 22 grams depending on the roast and bean density. You will need to ensure your grinder can accommodate this volume and that you have enough headspace between the puck and the shower screen.

If your puck preparation is inconsistent, you may experience some spraying or 'spurting' as the espresso exits the basket. This is actually a helpful diagnostic tool that shows you exactly where your distribution or tamping went wrong, and it will disappear once your technique is dialed in.

Yes, most standard 58mm baskets are interchangeable. If you prefer a double-shot dose over the included triple-shot basket, you can simply swap it out, provided the basket depth is compatible with the portafilter handle's clearance.
