Know before you buy
The Espresso Shaker Funnel I is precision-engineered for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. As long as your machine uses a 58mm basket, it will provide a secure and stable fit.
Shaking your grounds inside the funnel helps break up clumps and homogenize the density of the coffee bed. This redistribution leads to a more uniform extraction, reducing the likelihood of channeling.
Yes, the funnel is designed to sit securely on your basket, allowing you to shake and dose directly into the portafilter without spilling grounds. It also includes a lid to keep everything contained while you shake.
Simply wipe the funnel clean with a damp cloth after use. It is not dishwasher safe, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the anodized aluminum finish.
The funnel is CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, making it highly durable and resistant to the wear and tear of a daily espresso routine. The anodized finish also adds a layer of protection against scratches and oxidation.
