Know before you buy
You should measure the diameter of your current portafilter basket or check your machine's manual for the group head size. We offer 51mm, 54mm, and 58mm options to ensure compatibility with most standard home espresso machines.
The bottomless design allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time. This visibility helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven distribution, providing immediate feedback so you can adjust your grind or tamping technique for a better shot.
While the walnut is durable, it is best to avoid soaking the handle in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and occasionally apply food-safe wood oil to keep the finish looking its best.
Yes, our 58mm version is specifically engineered to be compatible with E61 group heads, as well as machines from brands like La Marzocco. Please verify your machine's specific portafilter size before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
The portafilter itself doesn't change the flavor, but it helps you achieve a more consistent extraction. By allowing you to diagnose and correct technique errors, you will likely find that your shots taste more balanced and refined.
