Know before you buy
The mirror is designed to attach to the group head area of most espresso machines. Because it uses a strong magnetic base, it works best on machines with metal surfaces that can accommodate the magnetic mount.
It is specifically optimized for bottomless portafilters, which allow you to see the espresso extraction clearly. While it can be used with spouted portafilters, the mirror is most effective when you have a direct line of sight to the flow of coffee.
The mirror is attached to a polished steel ball via a strong neodymium magnet. This ball-and-socket style connection allows you to tilt and rotate the mirror to your preferred angle, ensuring you get the perfect view of your shot without having to bend over.
The mirror features an oleophobic coating, which helps repel oils and liquids. You can easily wipe away any stray espresso droplets with a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber towel.
Yes, the mirror is detachable from the magnetic base. This makes it easy to clean the glass thoroughly or store it away if you prefer a minimalist look on your machine when not brewing.
