La Pavoni Esperto Portafilter

A bottomless portafilter allows you to observe the entire extraction process in real-time. This visibility helps you identify channeling or uneven extraction, enabling you to adjust your grind size and tamping technique for a more balanced shot.

This specific model is designed for La Pavoni Esperto machines featuring an E61 group head. Please verify your machine's group head type before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

No, the portafilter does not include a filter basket. You will need to use a compatible double-shot non-pressurized basket to achieve the best results.

A non-pressurized basket requires a precise grind and consistent tamping technique, as it relies on the coffee puck itself to create resistance. This setup is ideal for enthusiasts looking to achieve a more authentic, cafe-quality espresso with better crema.

To maintain the wood's finish and prevent cracking, avoid soaking the portafilter in water or running it through a dishwasher. Simply wipe the handle with a damp cloth and occasionally apply a food-safe wood oil to keep it in top condition.
