Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed for La Pavoni Lever machines manufactured after 2000, which feature the 'New Group' head. You can identify these models by the larger group head diameter compared to the older, pre-millennium versions.
Yes, it arrives ready to use. The package includes the brass/gold portafilter body, an ergonomic walnut handle, a double filter basket, and the necessary locking spring.
This is a non-pressurized portafilter. It is designed for users who want to control their extraction variables, such as grind size and tamping pressure, to achieve a professional-quality espresso.
To maintain the wood's finish, avoid soaking the portafilter in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to crack or discolor. Simply wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth after use.
While it comes with a double filter basket, the portafilter body is compatible with most standard 51mm-style filter baskets designed for La Pavoni New Group machines, allowing you to swap in a single basket if preferred.
