Know before you buy
The cup features an opening inner diameter of 53mm and a stop ring diameter of 60mm. It is designed to sit securely on most standard 54mm and 58mm portafilter baskets, but you should measure your basket diameter to ensure a stable fit.
By dosing into the cup first, you can shake or stir the grounds to break up clumps before transferring them to the portafilter. This promotes a more uniform bed of coffee, which helps prevent channeling and leads to a more consistent extraction.
Yes, the stainless steel construction is non-porous and resistant to coffee oils. A quick wipe with a dry cloth or a rinse with warm water is usually sufficient to keep it clean between uses.
The Motta Dosing Cup is designed to catch grounds directly from most grinder chutes. Its 60mm height allows it to sit comfortably under the outlet of many popular home espresso grinders.
The 60mm stop ring acts as a guide that centers the cup on your portafilter basket. This ensures that when you flip the cup to transfer the grounds, the coffee is deposited evenly without spilling over the edges.
