What customers say
This portafilter is overwhelmingly praised as a superior aesthetic and functional upgrade for Breville machines.

Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed for Breville espresso machines that use a 54mm group head, including the Barista Express, Barista Pro, Barista Touch, Bambino, and Infuser models.
A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time, which is essential for diagnosing issues like channeling or uneven tamping. It also provides more clearance for taller cups and produces a slightly fuller-bodied shot.
Yes, this is a non-pressurized portafilter. You will need to use a standard, non-pressurized filter basket to achieve the best results, as it relies on your grind size and tamping technique rather than a pressurized valve.
The high-quality stainless steel provides excellent thermal stability, helping to maintain a consistent temperature during the brewing process. It is also more durable and easier to keep clean than the chrome-plated brass portafilters that come standard with many machines.
Both handle options are ergonomically designed for a secure grip, so the choice is primarily aesthetic. The wood handles offer a warmer, tactile feel, while the metal handles provide a sleek, industrial look and are slightly easier to sanitize.
