Know before you buy
Yes, the cup is specifically designed for standard 58mm portafilter baskets. Its 55mm inner diameter allows it to sit securely on top, ensuring a clean transfer of grounds without spilling.
The 304 stainless steel construction features an anti-static finish that significantly reduces the amount of coffee dust and static cling. While some fine particles may remain, it is far more effective at keeping your workspace clean than standard plastic or untreated metal cups.
The cup is designed for broad compatibility with most commercial and prosumer grinders. As long as your grinder's portafilter fork or cradle can accommodate a 92mm tall cup, it should integrate seamlessly into your workflow.
Yes, because it is crafted from food-grade 304 stainless steel, it is durable and dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the anti-static finish over the long term.
Using a dosing cup allows you to weigh your dose with higher precision and prevents grounds from spilling over the sides of your portafilter. It also makes it easier to perform WDT (Weiss Distribution Technique) to break up clumps before tamping.
