Know before you buy
No, this portafilter is engineered exclusively for the Cafelat Robot Manual Espresso Maker and will not fit standard commercial or home espresso machines.
No, this portafilter does not come with a professional or pressurized basket. You will need to use the basket that came with your Cafelat Robot or purchase one separately.
The naked portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time, which is helpful for diagnosing issues with your grind size, dose, or tamping technique.
The stainless steel body is machine washable for easy maintenance. However, you should remove the silicone o-ring and wash it by hand to ensure its longevity and proper fit.
Each set includes a spare silicone o-ring specifically for this purpose. If the original begins to lose its seal, simply swap it out with the provided spare.
