Metallurgica Motta Coffee Leveling Tool

This tool is designed specifically for 58mm portafilters, which is the standard size for most commercial-grade and high-end home espresso machines like E61 groups. If your machine uses a 58mm basket, this will fit perfectly.

A leveling tool creates a perfectly flat, even bed of coffee grounds before you tamp. This prevents channeling—where water finds the path of least resistance through the puck—resulting in a more consistent, balanced extraction.

The Motta Leveling Tool is a fixed-depth distributor. It is designed to sit on the rim of the portafilter basket, ensuring a consistent depth regardless of the specific dose, provided your dose is sufficient to reach the tool's blades.

Yes, you should still tamp after using this tool. The leveling tool distributes the grounds evenly and creates a flat surface, but a separate tamper is required to compress the coffee puck to the correct density for extraction.

The stainless steel construction is durable and easy to maintain. Simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth after use to remove any residual coffee oils or grounds.
