Know before you buy
The Ring is designed to fit standard 58mm to 58.4mm portafilter baskets. It is compatible with the vast majority of commercial and prosumer espresso machine portafilters.
The integrated magnets allow the ring to snap securely onto the top of your portafilter basket. This keeps it stable while you grind or distribute your coffee, preventing it from sliding off during use.
Yes, the high-polish finish creates a smoother surface that significantly reduces static cling and coffee residue buildup. This makes it much easier to keep your workspace clean compared to standard brushed metal rings.
Because The Ring adds 23mm of height to your portafilter, you may need to adjust the height of your grinder's portafilter fork or cradle to accommodate the extra clearance.
Thanks to its 302 stainless steel construction, it is very easy to maintain. You can simply rinse it under warm water or wipe it down with a damp cloth; it is also durable enough to withstand regular daily use without degrading.
