Know before you buy
This portafilter is designed specifically for LELIT58 group heads, making it compatible with the Lelit Bianca and Mara X models.
A bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to visually monitor the extraction. This makes it much easier to identify channeling or uneven flow, helping you refine your puck preparation and grind size for a better shot.
The included IMS-manufactured stainless steel filter basket is designed for a double dose, typically holding between 18 and 21 grams of ground coffee.
While the walnut handle is durable, it is best to avoid soaking it in water or running it through a dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use to keep the wood in good condition.
The partnership with IMS ensures the filter basket is manufactured to high precision standards. This results in more consistent hole geometry and better water distribution, which directly contributes to a more balanced and flavorful espresso extraction.
