⚡ At a Glance
- • Brewing Quality: Bottomless design reveals flow rate, colour and channeling for easier diagnosis
- • Best for: Home baristas with compatible semi-automatic machines who want to refine extraction
- • Not ideal for: Owners of incompatible models such as DeLonghi EC9335, EC966 or EC9155
51mm three-ear naked portafilter built from 304 stainless steel with a walnut handle. Includes a puck screen and a replaceable filter basket for two cups.
Clear extraction feedback - with naked bottomless design
Naked bottom exposes the outlet so the brew flow, colour and speed are visible during extraction. Visual cues reveal channeling or uneven flow allowing immediate adjustment of grind, dose or tamp.
Quicker troubleshooting leads to more consistent shots and less wasted coffee. Visual feedback helps tune technique rather than guessing what went wrong.
More even water distribution - thanks to included puck screen
304 stainless steel puck screen sits between shower and grounds to disperse water more evenly across the coffee puck. Reduced direct jets lowers the chance of channel formation and keeps the group head cleaner.
Smoother extraction and more even crema development are achievable without complicated tools. Fewer channelled shots mean steadier taste from shot to shot.
Comfortable handling and durable build - with walnut handle and stainless head
Handle is crafted from natural walnut so texture varies between pieces, paired with a 304 stainless steel head and puck screen for corrosion resistance. Three-ear lock configuration matches compatible group heads for a secure fit.
Firm, smooth grip during routine use feels reassuring and looks smart on a home machine. Robust materials increase longevity when washed by hand and cared for properly.
