Know before you buy
This portafilter is specifically engineered for the KitchenAid 58mm Semi Automatic Espresso Machine. While the diameter is 58mm, the locking lug configuration is proprietary to KitchenAid and may not be compatible with other brands.
A bottomless portafilter exposes the underside of the filter basket, allowing you to watch the espresso extraction in real time. This visual feedback is the most effective way to identify issues with your grind size or tamping technique, such as channeling or uneven flow.
To keep the rosewood handle in top condition, avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to maintain its luster and prevent drying.
Since this is a 58mm portafilter, you should use a 58mm or 58.5mm tamper. Ensure your tamper fits snugly within the basket to achieve an even puck density.
The head is constructed from durable stainless steel and alloy designed for the rigors of daily espresso preparation. While it is built for longevity, we recommend avoiding abrasive scrubbers to keep the finish looking pristine.
