Know before you buy
This portafilter is specifically designed for machines with an E61 group head that use a 58mm portafilter. Please verify your machine's group head type before purchasing to ensure a proper seal.
A bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to see the extraction in real-time. This visual feedback is essential for identifying channeling or uneven distribution, helping you adjust your grind and tamping technique for better espresso.
The rosewood handle is durable, but it should be hand-washed and kept away from the dishwasher to preserve the wood's finish. An occasional application of food-safe mineral oil can help keep the wood hydrated and looking its best.
Yes, the portafilter head is designed to fit standard 58mm precision baskets. If you prefer to use a specific aftermarket or VST basket, you can easily swap it into this portafilter body.
Because the espresso flows directly from the basket without passing through spouts, there is less surface area for the crema to contact. This often results in a richer, more visually impressive crema compared to traditional spouted portafilters.
