Know before you buy
A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the entire extraction process in real-time. This visibility helps you identify issues like channeling or uneven tamping, enabling you to adjust your technique for a more balanced and consistent espresso shot.
This specific model is designed for Bezzera BZ group machines. While it is also compatible with many E61 group heads, it will not fit machines like Breville or Gaggia. Please verify your machine's group head type before purchasing.
No, this product does not include a filter basket. You will need to use the basket that came with your machine or purchase a compatible aftermarket basket separately.
Yes, because the bottomless design removes the spouts found on standard portafilters, it provides significantly more clearance. This makes it much easier to fit taller cups or scales directly under the group head.
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 warp. Simply wipe the handle clean with a damp cloth after use and dry it immediately.
