Bottomless stainless steel portafilter with walnut handle and included stainless steel basket and puck screen. Designed to reveal extraction behaviour so technique can be tuned for more consistent espresso.
See and fix channeling, with bottomless portafilter head
The open, bottomless stainless steel head exposes the coffee puck during extraction, showing flow columns, colour shifts and spurting. Observing the flow helps identify uneven distribution or tamping errors in real time.
Immediate visual feedback makes it faster to correct grind, dose or tamp issues, reducing wasted shots and improving consistency.
Cleaner, steadier pours, with 100% stainless steel basket and puck screen
A solid stainless steel basket holds the grounds evenly, while the included puck screen sits above the puck to reduce splashing. Both items are corrosion resistant and simple to rinse after use.
Reduced spurting and steadier flow result in better crema and a neater extraction, making everyday shots more reliable.
Comfortable handling, with walnut ergonomic handle and three-prong fit
Ergonomic walnut handle offers a familiar grip, and the three-ear (3 prong) fitting aligns with Breville 54mm group heads for secure lock-in. Portafilter head is cast from food-grade stainless steel and hand polished.
Secure engagement and comfortable leverage help achieve repeatable tamping and stable group-head locking for consistent performance.
